<p>This is the initial non-experimental release of GrapheneOS based on Android

+ October 6th so there have already been a couple days of public testing. All of

+ <p>This release provides the full 2023-10-06 patch level for all supported
+ devices along with the recommended security patches only included in Android

+ above 2023-10-01. Android 14 has had publicly available experimental releases
+ since February 2023 and is already a mature OS. It also contains significant
+ privacy and security enhancements which more than offset the attack surface
+ from added features. These reasons are why we have so heavily prioritized
+ porting to Android 14 and began to defer more and more of our other work until
+ after Android 14 since around July 2023.</p>
<p>Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL and Pixel 4a are end-of-life and shouldn't be used
anymore due to lack of most security patches for firmware and drivers. We're
