I've been using the releases from github for a while, but this is a great step towards availability for many.

I thought nova wasn't being maintained anymore.

The version now called "Lawnchair Legacy" was very old and unmaintained. They've been working on this new version in the meantime.

They were talking about Nova, not Lawnchair. Nova hasn't officially been abandoned, but they were purchased by a big data broker a few years ago, and just a few months ago Branch (Nova's owner) laid off almost all of the Nova Launcher development team.

Nova is not dead, but the writing is on the wall.
