Statuses updated and a keyboard

This Week in F-Droid

TWIF curated on Thursday, 26 Sep 2024, Week 39

Community News

F-Droid Build Status was updated to 5.6.4 and no one will get this update. Why? Well, the app is now built reproducibly so if you have it installed you need to uninstall it and then reinstall it. (Yes, we wish this switch to be easier to perform, but the UI is not there yet)

Firefox 130 and 130.0.1 were released September 3rd and 17th with 15 security fixes, however Fennec and Mull builds will be delayed due to Google removing a necessary component from the NDK in revision 27, apparently to “save some storage space”. 😐

FlorisBoard was updated to 0.4.0 after a two year pause, if you’re the kind that looks a keyboard in the mouth, do peak at the extensive changelog.

Status: Crypto Wallet, Messenger, Ethereum Browser was updated to the newly designed 2.30.0 after an one and a half year hiatus. The feature list is too long, but the devs have a blog post that details everything. (App screenshots will be updated soon)
