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

For this release we are breaking down new support for devices based on android trees and device compatibility.
For Pie and earlier devices, they will be built out of the android-9.0 branch. For devices that
are released with Android Version 10, they will be supported under the android-10 branch.

The separation became apparent when a lot of functionality was dropped in the android-10 release last year. The
devices that are supported in Android 10 are from the tireless support of the following individuals over this period:
- CaptainThrowback
- Mauronofrio
- AndroidableDroid
- Noah Jacobson

You will notice a new version scheme. Devices that are built in the android-9 tree will be suffixed with 3.5.0\_9.
Devices built in the android-10 tree will be suffixed with 10 like 3.5.0\_10. Each device tree update will have a
final suffix for any updates made for the device like 3.5.0\_10-1.

And finally myself, bigbiff has put in a lot of work over the past year while Dees_Troy is able to get back to
helping us again with the Android-11 release. I have started a bringup for an Android-11 merge, and will be working
on the Pixel 5 bringup. I hope the progression is shorter in 2021.

You can see the device builds under their respective Jenkins view at https://jenkins.twrp.me.
