Hi @protonvpn We already have Proton VPN on F-Droid. And our users are looking forward to getting more Proton apps on F-Droid. Do you also want that?

Both Drive ( https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/12721 ) and Pass (https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/13312 ) are waiting for your help to be finalized.

Despite the testing I’m currently doing on Android 6 & 7 Conversations 2.14.0 will bump the minimum Android version from 5 to 6. (API 21 to API 23)

However a 2.13.1, which brings improved P2P file transfer, will be released later today (pending PlayStore review).

@fdroidorg@floss.social avatar

@eTaurus @daniel Next cycle will build both Conversations and Quicksy. Whatever Play does erroneusly please report that to Google, unfortunately we know it behaves like that for a while already: https://forum.f-droid.org/t/google-play-store-tries-to-update-my-f-droid-apps/24621 /PS: Also ask Google to accept Quicksy 2.13.x in Play, they are waaaay behind 😐️

Do you share F-Droid repos with the NFC feature in our client app?

Background: the support for Android NFC Beam was removed in Android 14, so we probably have to remove this feature in the future. We want to know if anybody is impacted by this.

This week in F-Droid (TWIF) was published again.

Our highlight this week:

F-Droid and F-Droid Basic were updated to the stable version 1.19.0. It brings automatic background updates and a new and better workflow for adding repositories. Please note: this version is not yet the suggested version, so you need to enable beta updates, if you don't want to wait any longer.

Also we talk about notable updates of some apps and the ongoing spring cleaning.

We've removed non FOSS classes at runtime as temporary fix, hoping that the dev can get rid of it. But it turns out the non FOSS lib wasn't even used -> https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/14378

We have defined a secure and usable architecture for decentralized package repositories that any mobile user can use and understand possible risks.

The next official release of the official F-Droid client will widely deploy this to our users. We then plan to make a final architecture document, so others can understand the whole model.

We would love any kind of feedback, our drafts are here: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/wiki/-/wikis/Repository-Management-Overhaul#architecture-and-ux-considerations

Upcoming releases of F-Droid will change how repositories are added. We are interested in feedback about this overhaul.

Please tell us (if you already have the latest F-Droid or F-Droid Basic 1.19.0-alpha installed):

  • Does adding repos still work for you?
  • And did adding repos became easier or harder?

If you don't have 1.19.0 yet: Note that this is still in beta, so brave users need to install this manually (enable Beta updates for the app or from Client expert settings).
