This Week in F-Droid

TWIF curated on Thursday, 28 Nov 2024, Week 48

F-Droid core

We’ve improved the repo index web page a bit this week. Now you can find the link to the client app easily on any mirror too. If you want to share F-Droid to your friends but they can’t access f-droid.org, you can share the mirror directly and they’ll be guided (in English or Chinese for now) step by step.

Community News

Session was updated to 1.20.7. On the administration side, Session developers have changed their stewards, from the Australian OPTF to the new Swiss “Session Technology Foundation”. You can read more about why here. Note that, our own @linsui cleans up the codebase to make the app good enough for it to be included, and F-Droid builds and signs the package. Any upstream changes to signing will not affect F-Droid.

@shuvashish76 dropped by to share some tips:

KeePassDX - FOSS Password Safe was updated to 4.1.0 and 4.1.1, adding support for “Key File” generation, along with other improvements. You can read more about keyfiles here, here and here.
