This week in #FDroid (TWIF): - We will remove the "gentle update" from F-Droid 1.22.0-alpha, as it is not stable enough.

We're starting a sprint to look at all the issues preventing #ReproducibleBuilds in all the apps we ship. Most of the issues are simple fixes in the upstream code, like unsorted outputs or timestamps included in the build. You can help make the #FreeSoftware #Android ecosystem be more reproducible! See the failures here and help us report them upstream:
After Black Friday and Cyber Monday, there is still Giving Tuesday left. But instead of shopping stuff you probably don't even need, please think about, if you want to give something instead. Let it be a donation [1] or a contribution [2], every bit brings us forward (all together). We wrote a bit about possible reasons to give: [1] [2]
This week in #FDroid (TWIF): - european-alternatives.eu lists software and apps that come from the EU, some of them are regular guests in our TWIF - we found a YouTube video about apps that are NOT on a centralized app store - aTox and UniPatcher were updated again after a long hiatus - Kodi fixed many bugs - OsmAnd~ has a lot of new features - Status, VLC and Zulip were also updated (and 111 more apps) - MRT Buddy is new and helps you commute in Dhaka Read more at
This week in #FDroid (TWIF) is prominently about Mozilla's apps. - Fennec and Mull were finally updated to 132 - Thunderbird (based on K-9) is now available, but due to an error this also caused a lot of confusion - Ghost Commander was updated and could break SFTP with Kerberos on newer Android versions - 3 removals, 5 more added apps and 106 updated apps Read the full details at:
Hello dear K-9 users! You probably got a suggested updated for K-9 to "Thunderbird Beta for Testers". This is just a metadata issue, which displays a wrong name and icon. The update itself is K-9 in version 8.0. You don't get automatically switched over to Thunderbird. This will probably be fixed in the next index update. In other news: Thunderbird for Android is available now on #FDroid ;)
As with any other app, we flagged Fennec and Mull with KnownVuln until the app is updated. Contributors fixed the issues that delayed versions 130 and later. Stand by for the build.
