This Week in F-Droid
TWIF curated on Thursday, 19 Mar 2026, Week 12
F-Droid core
Even if not daring enough to install our latest client in development, we reiterate our message: get people to install F-Droid now, before it’s too late. It’s a small gesture that will prove to be critical for the future of Android as you and me have grown to love!
Now, F-Droid Basic was updated to 2.0-alpha5:
- Updated strings and translations (Is your locale 100% translated yet?)
- Improved loading of app details page
- Refresh app lists on app status changes
- Don’t close screenshot when rotating device
- Fix RTL language presentation of updates
- …and more
For CJK users, meaning Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, we recently fixed a bug in search, if alpha5 fails to find some apps, this will be fixed in the next version.
Community News
“Touchy slide keyboard app will soon require an US corporate account - data to be moved to BigCloud” article sounds like some statement dreamed up by the utterly Deranged. One year has passed since our own “Even my keyboard is built reproducibly” article was published, and we’ve been adding and updating keyboard apps on and on, so just pick one and use it!!!
aTalk was updated to 5.2.1, a hot-fix to the big 5.2.0 update. What’s hot? A lot, and the big news is support for the latest OMEMO specification v0.9 aka OMEMO 2. This is great news, but even if OMEMO is well supported in the XMPP ecosystem, most apps support v0.3 and none did OMEMO2 on Android before aTalk. We hope this encourages other projects (ahem and their forks ahem) to move forward.
In more messaging news, Briar was updated to 1.5.17, keeping Tor up to date. Unfortunately the app appears to be in maintenance mode, as after the Material Design 3 upgrade it only got minimal development, and that was almost 2 years ago.
CastLab was updated to 1.1.0 last week and it’s worth a highlight. Besides bug fixes, it adds some new features: support for the open FCast protocol, external display casting via USB-C and Screen sharing.
K-9 Mail and Thunderbird: Free Your Inbox were updated to 17.0 adding per account avatars (JPG only for now), foldable devices support, printing emails and more. While Thunderbird Beta for Testers was updated to 18.0b2 adding PNG support for avatars and many fixes.
LabCoat has a minor update to 2.8.0 with an authentication token fix. If LabNex is still not ready for your Gitlab workflow, you can cover some tasks again on the go.
Session developers are asking for your help, PFS and post-quantum cryptography are still in progress, and more work needs to be funded.
