GNOME Tweak Tool 3.25.4 appears to be the last version using the old name, as the tool’s maintainers also renamed the binary to “gnome-tweaks” instead of “gnome-tweak-tool” when you’re using the app from the command-line. However, this change will be in affect this fall when GNOME 3.26 launches on September 13. GNOME Tweaks 3.26 will be a major release as it learned new tweaks, such as a “Battery Percentage” tweak or a “Disable While Typing” tweak, and it adds a great number of improvements and under-the-hood changes. For example, the app was ported to Python 3 and it now uses the Meson build system.
