CalyxOS

Android 13 - October Security update

CalyxOS 4.2 - Android 13 is now available for the Google supported Pixels, i.e. Pixel 4 - 6a

We had this in beta for a longer time than planned, however that has allowed us to ensure stability.

Thanks for all the testing, feedback and bugreports!

We also have some builds available for the FP4 and Pixel 3, and are working on them.
