This Week in F-Droid
TWIF curated on Thursday, 11 Jul 2024, Week 28
Community News
Cartes IGN, Discover France another way and witness the land’s evolution, is a nice mapping app for France. Even if not French, the ways you can interact with the data is something to be experienced, or even more, in the spirit of “Public money, public code”, maybe something we should ask our local administrations to do for our countries too. App description text will be fixed in the next version (upstream PR#92)
DataBackup was updated to 2.0.1 and its dev XayahSuSuSu gives us the news:
The app has been released on F-Droid for a while. Recently it has a breaking change on UIs, with a lot of new features.
- 🔥It supports reproducible builds on F-Droid now so it uses the signing key of the developer
- ✨ This update IS NOT COMPATIBLE with old versions, you’d better CLEAN INSTALL this version, and you can reload to restore legacy backups.
- 🎉 Welcome new friends to our team: @omersusin, @PalmDevs, @frknkrc44.
- ✨ Reimplemented cloud functions.
- ✨ Supported SSAID backup and restoring, you need to reboot after restoring SSAIDs.
- ✨ Supported keystore detection, which means this application may not work after restoring.
- ✨ Downgraded to api 26. Yes now we support Android 8.0+
We’ve been building betas of Dolphin Emulator, the GameCube and Wii emulator, whenever we or its users noticed a new site note, but recently the app devs started to use a rolling release cycle and celebrated, after 8 years, with a new proper release named 2407. About the road ahead, the new logo and more, you can read in the fresh blog post here.
Inbox Pager, Read and write e-mails, was updated to 7.0 after a three and a half years hiatus.
SkinBread was updated to 1.3 bringing a new key, hence if you have the app installed you’d need to uninstall then reinstall to get future updates. While we’ve written about the care needed for keys in the past, unfortunately we still see developers end up losing their own from time to time.
Removed Apps
3 apps were removed
PiliPala and PiliPalaX were disabled due to the usage of a non-free captcha lib, GeeTest (极验), for the in-app login page. Currently Pilipala still uses the “old” webview login page, while the problematic in-app login is work-in-progress, so GeeTest is patched out and we can rebuild the app in the next cycles. Unfortunately PilipalaX has switched to the new in-app login page so we are not sure what the future holds.
Selfnet WIFI-Setup, as with other apps like it, got replaced by the new geteduroam which is not yet available in F-Droid.
