⚠️ This is the branch for the unreleased v6 release. If you want the v5 branch version, go here.
We are currently working on Ulauncher v6, which is a huge rewrite. Until then we're only supporting the existing functionality in v5. No new features or improvements.
We are not yet ready to make releases or pre-releases for Ulauncher 6, as the API is not yet set and further major changes may come.
