If you are using #riot-android you should update to version 0.8.28a as this is a critical security update.

If you are a user of the matrix.org homeserver and have received an alert message stating that you should update to a version 0.8.99 from google play you can safely ignore that. This message was only targeted at google play users but accidentally sent to some #F-Droid users as well.

F-Droid will soon have stricter requirements for apps showing up in the "Latest" tab in the F-Droid app:

If you are an app developer consider adding good descriptions, screenshots and a "Whats's New" section for your app.

If you notice that your favourite app doesn't fulfill all these requirements consider notifying the app's developers or just help them with a merge request adding the missing info to the source repo.

#Newpipe 0.14.2 can't play YouTube videos anymore. Downgrading to 0.14.1 seems to work for the moment. (Need to uninstall the latest version first.)

The problem is fixed upstream in version 0.15 which will be on fdroid in 1-2 days.

The f-droid.org website now **finally** displays antifeatures again.

As a bonus you can now search by anti features: https://search.f-droid.org/?q=NonFreeNet&lang=en

With that a happy new year to all! 🎉

Has someone got a template text to send to companies/organizations why they should open source their apps and add them to #fdroid?

Maybe we should write some and put it on f-froid.org somewhere 🤔.
