The F-droid app is undergoing major changes: Faster and smaller updates thanks to a new repository format.
For this, we needed to change the entire app database. To ensure that there are no regression we need your help: Please install the latest alpha version of F-Droid 1.16 and report anything unusual.
@fdroidorg Where to get it? Can I easily switch back and forth from within FDroid?
@laubblaeser @fdroidorg You should be able to install it via the F-Droid app. Just go to the entry of the regular F-Droid app and open the versions selector on the very bottom.
@laubblaeser @fdroidorg not sure if there's a more recent one: this is alpha4 from a few days ago: https://f-droid.org/repo/org.fdroid.fdroid_1016004.apk
@fdroidorg Just installed the last alpha4. The app vulnerability alert is a really nice feature!
@fdroidorg I had this wreid UI issue after my screen turned off and I turned it back on while downloading an update
Cool the speed improvement feels good :-)!
I was a bit surprised by the vulnerability insert on the update tab. It took me a while to find the list of applications to update.
Maybe it could be collapsed by default like the list of updated applications.
Thank you for all that you do !

Running 1.16-alpha4. Nothing unusual to report.
Nice, looking forward to it!
@fdroidorg I'm on Alpha now
@fdroidorg alpha4 on lineageOS 18.1 with privileged extension. Many auto updates work. But osmand+ fails.
@fdroidorg Updated to alpha-4. So far, so good.
@fdroidorg I just switched to the alpha and the updating felt a lot faster. No issues so far.
I have no problems with the 1.16-alpha4.
@fdroidorg
Installed right after your post - working fine for me
@fdroidorg
[v. 1.16-alpha4]
What a speed! It's a great improvement. No issues detected.
Thanks all dev for your work. Thanks for privacy
