It shows everywhere Folio draws the icon, Reset Icon puts it back, backups carry the choices, and the icon pictures Folio saves are untouched, so nothing can be left stale. Custom pictures and per-app icon-pack icons are not part of this yet.

+# Folio 0.6.8: Your language, your Home, and Smooth
+
+The stable 0.6.8. It is the app of `v0.6.8-beta.7` and nothing else: REL-4b, checked on this bump, fails if anything that
+goes into the APK differs from that tag, apart from the version, the dated changelog and the roadmap. The full list of
+what is new is the `## [0.6.8]` section of [CHANGELOG.md](../../CHANGELOG.md); the beta notes are
+[0.6.8-beta.7](0.6.8-beta.7.md) and the betas before it.
+
+## Version
+
+`folioVersion = "0.6.8"`, `versionCode` **6080**, the same as every 0.6.8 beta, so it installs over beta.7 and the betas
+before it, and over 0.6.7.3 (6073). The changelog's `[0.6.8]` is dated (REL-10), and the roadmap marks every 0.6.8 item
+Done (REL-14b checks that none is left Building or Planned). Faster Folio's line now says only what shipped: a quicker
+start. Smoother swiping is its own 0.6.9 item.
+
+## Before the bump
+
+1. **Beta.7 is the last beta.** It is beta.6 plus four small fixes (#260 to #263), and McCal chose to ship it as the
+   stable without a further day of supporter soak (REL-20 asks for that day only for installer changes, and beta.7 has
+   none). Beta.6 itself had been out since 2 Oct 2026 with one report (#256, not a regression from these fixes).
+2. Tag `v0.6.8-beta.7` on `main` at the merge of the beta.7 bump (3ba4e680) first, so REL-4b has something to compare to.
+   `main` has had no app change since (the freeze row in `docs/in-flight.md`, removed by this bump).
+3. Not yet checked by hand on the Fold8: Arrange Like iPhone, a Home change followed by leaving, TalkBack in Korean.
+   The scripted smoke on the Fold8 cover passed 13 of 14; the one failure, "Home is up", is unexplained (the phone was
+   shared with another session).
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Merge this bump with a merge commit.
+2. Tag `v0.6.8` on it.
+3. Build and sign with `scripts/release-signed-keychain.sh` from the tag, clean tree.
+4. Publish on McCal-Codes/folio as Latest. In the message: the APK's SHA-256 (REL-22), the VirusTotal report (REL-23)
+   with the usual heads-up about small engines, and a pointer to [PERMISSIONS.md](../../PERMISSIONS.md) (REL-24); no new
+   permission since 0.6.7.3. Release notes are in McCal's words (REL-25).
+5. Check Settings › Software Update on a phone on 0.6.7.3 offers it, and that the website (`foliolauncher.com`) picks up
+   the release.
+
+## After it is out
+
+- Merge McCal-Codes/folio#229 (`folio-pkg` refuses reserved kinds in packed packages) now, and keep the three copies
+  of `tools/folio-pkg.py` identical (folio-source-template#7, folio-tweaks#4).
+- McCal-Codes/folio-tweaks#4 (Tilt, the page effect package) held for this release because merging it publishes the
+  source; it can go once 0.6.8 is out.
+- `main` reopens for app changes. 0.6.9 (Foundation) starts, and the Diagnostics Copy button from #239 is first in
+  line behind a Mockup Lab pass.
+- Reply to whoever reported #239 in McCal's words.
+
+## Checked before the bump
+
+- Beta.7: the four fix PRs together, 848 unit and Market tests with no failures and lint clean; `smoke5.py` on the
+  Fold8 cover, 13 of 14 (see above). Beta.6: 14 of 14.
+- This bump: `tools/check-release-rules.sh origin/main` (REL-13, REL-14b, REL-4b against `v0.6.8-beta.7`).
