+# New Version (v2.9.1)
+
+## New packages added
+- **AOSP** : 1
+- **Asus** : 2
+- **Google** : 1
+- **Carriers** : 3 (AT&T)
+- **OnePlus**: 1
+- **Pending**: 24
+- **Samsung** : 9
+- **Xiaomi** : 1
+
+## Bugfixes
+- Bash version check not working as expected (#60)
+- Debloating/restoring not working if the script was run from the recovery
+- Package name typo (!3) (thanks @maximilian.overmeyer!)
+- "pm: command not found" when disabling packages (Android 7 [Nougat] and below) (#78)
+
+## Miscellaneous
+- Documentation improvement/update for many apps.
+- UI/UX improvement for the recovery version of the script
+
+
+# New Version (v2.9)
+
+**Note:** The `debloat_script.sh` is now in maintenance mode and won't receive any more features. The focus is on the developement of a GUI.
+
+### Magisk module and root support for Android 10+
+Root users can now systemlessly debloat their device. The script will create a flashable Magisk zip you'll need to flash from **TWRP** or **Magisk Manager** (recommended). Once installed the module will, on boot, replace the APKs folders with an empty folder (only containing a `.replace` file). 
+
+Systemless debloat is the only solution for Android 10+ users because *system* can't be mounted in read-write anymore.
+
+## New packages added
+- **Samsung** : 5 (thanks @j0taz)
+
+## Bugfixes
+- **Debloated packages (non root) reappear after a reboot (#48)**
+- Bad apks names when using root features (parsing issue)
+- Connection preferences settings won't open (AOSP list, Pixel 4a / Android 11) (#49)
+- Impossible to use a non-root feature after having used a root feature
+
+# Miscellaneous
+- App data is now cleared (`pm clear $package`) before root debloat
+
+# Hotfix (v2.8.4)
+
+- Error when remounting `/system` as read-only after a restore/debloat action (#46)
+- Package search feature now displays APK path along with the package name
+- The APK was not backed-up when you use the manual root debloat feature (`1 - debloat a package`)
+- `deleted_apks.txt` not found
+- Mounting error on Android 9+ (only fixed for Android 9)
+
+# IMPORTANT NOTE
+**Root features do currently not work for Android 10+**. Android 10 has introduced a new dynamic partitioning system
+which, in short, prevent to easily mount system filesystem in read-write (use of EXT4 dedup filesystem, which is not writable). 
+Fortunately, the awesome @topjohnwu (developer of Magisk) found a solution. I'll try to update my script to use the Magisk magic.
+
+# Hotfix (v2.8.3)
+
+- Fix a bug (bad variable name) which basically broke all the non root debloat/restore features.
+
+# Hotfix (v2.8.2)
+
+- Flashable debloat zip not removing anything (oversight on my part after debugging for the first hotfix)
+
+# Hotfix (v2.8.1)
+
+- Flashable zip was broken. I reworked all the generation logic. It is much simpler and correctly works now.
+- The script will now force a backup of the apks before generating a flashable zip.
+
+# New Version (v2.8)
+
+Happy new year! :star2:
+
+## Notable changes
+- Apps are now removed for all users (not only `user 0`) (see #29)
+- `debloated_packages.txt` logfile will no longer have duplicates.
+- New list added: `Mediatek` a chipset manufacturer (like Qualcomm) mostly providing chinese phones.
+- Documentation improvement/update for many apps.
+- General improvement of UI/UX and better error handling.
+
+### Root Support
+If your device is rooted you can now use this script to physically remove apks. Ironically this method is actually safer because you can restore the apks from TWRP recovery in case of a bootloop.
+- Root debloat: use the lists but remove the apks (`rm -rf`) instead of using the package manager (`pm`). All apks are automatically backed-up in `apks_backup` before being deleted.
+- APKs restore: you can use the script, even when in TWRP recovery, to restore your apks
+- Flashable zip: Generate a flashable zip

+
+## Bugfixes
+- Renamed confusing variable name (OLDER_THAN_ANDROID_7_1) to OLDER_THAN_ANDROID_8.
+- Fixed broken bash version check
+- Bootloop with Google debloat list on Android 11 (and higher) (#43)
+
+# New Version (v2.7)
+
+Didn't you notice the last release never found packages to debloat/restore? Well... this works now. It seems all my changes wasn't pushed on the repo. 
+
+Altough this release contains almost exclusively bugfixes, it's is not a hotfix as there's also a new feature.
+
+NB: I currently don't have a lot free time so the next *real* release will be in quite some time. 
+
+## Notable changes
+- New menu entry (`7 - External list`) which enables you to use your own debloat list (#30)
+
+## Bugfixes
+- Nothing to debloat message when there is stuff to debloat.
+- Compatibility issue with BSD version of `sed` MacOS which prevented the script to generate the debloat lists (#32)
+- Backup integrity check always failing (#31)
+- Script failed when `Packages search` feature didn't find any package

 # Universal Android Debloater

+**DISCLAIMER**: Use this script at your own risk. I am not responsible for anything that could happen to your phone.

 ## Summary
 I try to maintain a universal tool which removes bloatwares on any Android phones by using ADB.

 The main goal is to improve battery performance and privacy by removing unnecessary and obscure system apps. This can also contribute to improve security by reducing [the attack surface](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_surface). The script has a menu that lets you choose what debloat list you want to use. I strongly encourage you to take a look at the lists because the default selection may not suit you. All packages are as well documented as possible in order to provide a better understanding of what you can delete or not.

-This script *should* be safe with the default selection. The worse thing which could happen is preventing an essential system process to be loaded during boot causing then an unfortunate bootloop. After about 5 failed system boots, the phone will automatically reboot in recovery mode and you'll have to perform a FACTORY RESET. So make a backup! 
+This script *should* be safe with the default selection. The worse thing which could happen is preventing an essential system process to be loaded during boot causing then an unfortunate bootloop. If you used the non-root solution, after about 5 failed system boots, the phone will automatically reboot in recovery mode and you'll have to perform a FACTORY RESET. So make a backup!
+
+If you have a rooted device you can also physically delete the apks. Ironically this solution is safer because the script saves the apks before their removal. In case of bootloop you just need to run the script from a recovery with ADB support (e.g TWRP) and restore them.

 In any case, you can NOT brick your device with this script! That's the main thing, right?
