We've been working diligently to get #FDroid Client ready for release. If naming our releases 'alpha' or 'rc' impeded you to update, now you are free to install. As usual we are exercising this as a stage roll-out, so you can now expand Versions and install 2.0. If it's the first time, or even the n-th time, you've heard about our new client work, you can read all the gritty details in the 15 mins post: https://f-droid.org/2026/09/24/f-droid-2.0-a-new-chapter-for-android-freedom.html To everyone involved in delivering 2.0, a sincere "Thank You!"

    @fdroidorg@floss.social why does it say auto update is not available? It was like this for version 1.2x and my current 2.0. I managed to update from 1.2 to 2.0 by allowing beta update. Turning beta update off, makes this message appear.

    @fdroidorg@floss.social What if we want to keep the classic look because it's more functional?

    @fdroidorg@floss.social I've been using this new update for a while now and everything is great. The only thing missing, at least for me, is the option to click on a category and see all the apps from that category, without having to choose one subcategory each time. But that's a personal thing, I can always navigate each subcategory separately. Anyway, great update, everything looks and works better. Great work.

  • @fdroidorg@floss.social And will the new version at last be able to export (and re-import) my additional repositories? Such as droid-ify can do.

  • @fdroidorg@floss.social can I not set the interval to check for updates or force an update check on my own anymore?

    @fdroidorg@floss.social Good work! For the next release I'm hoping for, from best to less good: 1. GenAI ban in apps 2. GenAI filtering (anti feature) in apps, default enabled 3. GenAI filtering (anti feature) in apps, prompt for setting on first launch/update

    @pawty@mastodon.social although with those restrictions, you can instead migrate to another repository and still receive updates as you wish. bummer that f-droid did remove e1547 for not-so-clear reasons (and i do ask @fdroidorg@floss.social for clarifications) but you can just, not have to use f-droid and instead use another repository, and still have the same experience. f-droid's repository has a pretty low tolerance when it comes to the applications that are published (which gives me confidence that i wont be installing malware, unlike google malware store), but you can pick any option with higher tolerances or different policies for app publishing! even if you consider f-droid an not alternative to (what i presume is) google play, you still can take its fruits and appreciate that you still have options

    @fdroidorg@floss.social imagine my sursprise when the app I wanted to install (e1547) was banned by f-droid and is only available on the playstore and github (because it could potentially browse sites with adult content?!) meanwhile you have nitter apps that can browse X (twitter) which has an AI bot for undressing people f-droid is not an alternative, it's even more restricted than the fucking play store and if anyone has a real alternative I'd love to hear about it
