The latest update isn’t for libhooker per se, but rather for the brand new libhooker Configurator companion app, which grants users with powerful granular control over how and when libhooker loads its tweak injection methods on a particular device.

To put it briefly, a breadcrumb link appears in the Status Bar as a string of text with a left-pointing arrow beside it.
