4.0.0

Note: this release is identical to 4.0.0-alpha16. It's just bumping it out of alpha for a Play Store release.

Lockscreen Widgets 4.0 is here, with another big feature: widget stacks on your launcher! You can use Lockscreen Widgets to add multiple widgets from other apps to a single space on your home screen and page through them either manually or automatically on a timer. This should work on any launcher (or any app) that supports widgets and with most widgets, but since it's very much not something widgets were designed to do, there are going to be exceptions.

Widget stacks can be configured by tapping the settings gear in the bottom control bar or by using the new widget stack menu in the app. The latter may be useful if you add a widget that doesn't work in stacks, since it will likely break the entire stack and prevent any interaction. Aside from adding and removing widgets, you can also reorder them, individually add or remove padding around each widget, enable or disable rounded corners, customize the appearance of the control buttons, and reconfigure individual widgets.

There are also some changes in addition to widget stacks:

• Support adding widgets from apps in work profiles.
• Add options to filter by type when adding items to frame, drawer, or stack.
• Fix keyboard insets on older Android versions.
• Fix widgets not properly updating.
