Magisk is ending legacy support for some older versions of Android - Android

A couple of months back, the popular root solution Magisk picked up a big update that unified the Magisk Manager app and Magisk itself into a single convenient package in v22, which would be the last version to support Android versions prior to 5.0. Ahead of that change, v22 is getting a minor .1 revision with a handful of fixes and improvements, including a brand new log writer.

The full changelog for Magisk V22.1 is just below:

• [App] Prevent multiple installation sessions running in parallel
