TWRP {{ page.version }} is out now for most currently supported devices.

First of all, thanks to all the maintainers and your continued support. Without you guys
TWRP would not exist as it does now. We would like to apologize for the length of
time it took for the Android 11 release. It took us over a year to support all the new
features.

This release has feature updates for Android 9 based devices compiled for TWRP and up to
date support for Android 11. Devices compiled under the android-10 branch now have been
moved to the android-11 branch for up to date support. We have also deprecated devices
built under omni-5.1 and cm-12.1. These trees do not support newer C++ features. If anyone
has the ability, they may be able to be ported to omni-6.0 for continued TWRP support.

We hope the feature updates for Android 11 will quicken the release process for Android 12.
