minus-squarehansolo@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·2 days agoWTF, why is the download on the Fdroid front page still giving me 1.3.2?

minus-squarehansolo@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days agoFrom the website apk download link?
minus-squarekamen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 days agoI don’t know, could be. I just tried downloading and I’m getting the 1.x version too.
minus-squareIgris@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-21 day agoYeah me too. Edit: just like WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works said you’ll find it by searching f-droid on f-droid.org, scroll down to version 2.0 and download the apk.
minus-squarekamen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 day agoAh, right. It’s still tagged as beta, maybe that’s why it doesn’t appear in other places (like in the news article on their site). Thanks for the tip. Edit: direct link to said beta version.

minus-squareKyden Fumofly@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 days agoI use droid-ify. It didn’t pop any updates for F-droid, but I updated it manually, since the 2.0 version is there.
minus-squareHadriscus@jlai.lulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days agoI downloaded the apk directly from the website and it still installs 1.3.2 or whatnot, what am I doing wrong ?

minus-squareHadriscus@jlai.lulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days agoFound it ! https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fdroid.fdroid/ I had to go through the Gitlab, browse to “client” (https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient ), and scroll down to the readme section to find the link.
minus-squareWhyJiffie@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 day agoI think you can get to it also by searching “f-droid” inside f-droid
