Big cleanup and smaller repo
This Week in F-Droid
TWIF curated on Thursday, 18 Jul 2024, Week 29
F-Droid core
F-Droid Client and Basic 1.21.0-alpha0 are live, the changelog has all the fun stuff listed better than us rewriting it again, just read it here. Xiaomi (and friends) users running non-stock Android can rejoice, unattended updates are now available for you too!
Community News
@basilgello comments about an important RustDesk update:
RustDesk 1.2.6 update:
- Fixes security vulnerabilities in embedded libaom and libvpx. Users are strongly encouraged to update RustDesk clients and self-hosted servers ASAP!
- Fixes QA regression that previously used prebuilt vcpkg (reported by @Licaon_Kter)
- The build suppprt for android-x86 architecture was dropped due to excessive complexity and Flutter fix resolving it waiting for upstream approval.
Please update it as soon as possible to get the CVE fixes.
Principia was updated with old dependencies and doesn’t start. A fixed version has been added and will be available soon.
Besides these updates and new apps, we also have many apps removed or downgraded in our scanner running. PiliPala has been added back and more removed apps will come back with non-free bits removed. But others may never come back because upstream has been inactive for a long time or not willing to fix the problem.
Another bad news is that Fennec, the FOSS build of Firefox for Android, and the hardened fork, Mull, are stuck on updating to 128. It’s never a easy task to maintain a fork of a browser, and Mozilla keeps making it harder in every new version.
