This will be an interesting update. I'll have a look at it and update the patches later today.
Edit: Well, ugh. There goes the main menu location for NickelMenu. I'll be able to make use of it and add items to it, but it will require an update to NM which will be somewhat large. If everything goes well, that'll be done within the next few days. For the record, I dislike the changes to the home screen.
Edit 2: I just had another idea. I might be able to hook the clock in the top-left and turn it into a dedicated menu for NM, as it's currently just a normal label.
Edit 3: Hopefully the "Check release note information by going to Settings > Device Information > View release notes" means that we'll be getting better release notes from now on.
Edit 4: I'll never get rid of my muscle memory for the top-left menu ... I've been pressing it too many times when working on NickelMenu

. I'll really need to see if I can put a menu back there.
