Favor your repository

F-Droid core

Client development marches on in many areas, while targetsdk upgrades might be an ever constant change we have to deal with, other more fun areas are tackled also, like theming (soon more 😜) or repository management. 1.19 brought a new workflow for adding a repository or its mirrors, and now, the already released F-Droid Client and F-Droid Basic 1.20.0-alpha0 are reworking the way repositories are presented in whole, from a simple way to reorder them to adding a per-app selector to mark as favorite a certain repository.

The eager developer already spilled the beans in a Fedi post with pics and videos to see it all in action. As usual, we encourage supporters to try out the new app (expand Versions and install, or enable beta updates in upper right menu) and to provide feedback.

Another thing that will have future impact, “Custom Anti-Features are now enabled by default”. Meaning that repositories that add their own anti-features will have their apps shown instead of them being hidden initially. Also contributors are working towards splitting NonFreeNet into TetheredNet so that apps that depend on self-hostable FOSS servers don’t get flagged in the same way, and this is a first step. Since this setting is enabled on a fresh install only and as a general advice, even if you are not going to test the newest alpha, you can enable this anti-feature now in Settings so when TetheredNet is added, apps don’t mysteriously disappear. We will announce this again as we get closer and as needed.

The news above is about the latest Client, but many users are still on older Android versions, and while Licaon_Kter’s rant last week might have not reached many eyes as it was hidden in news about XMPP clients, those users are currently seeing their other apps stop connecting to many websites, yes even F-Droid to it’s own repository or Fedilab to the Fediverse servers. Why? Because Let’s Encrypt (the certificate authority), who made possible for more and more websites to use their free certificates, did some changes in 2020 and Android 7 and older devices are not able to use those new certificates. We’ve updated our Running on old Android versions page to guide you on how to add the intermediary certificate and fix this for the whole device.

In website news, the locale fix is still an ongoing battle, but we made the website layout leaner on the package pages to highlight the app that is featured, without distractions. More changes are planned.

FFmpeg 7.0 released

by
A new major release, FFmpeg 7.0 “Dijkstra”, is now available for download. The most noteworthy changes for most users are a native VVC decoder (currently experimental, until more fuzzing is done), IAMF support, or a multi-threaded ffmpeg CLI tool. This release is not backwards compatible, removing APIs deprecated before 6.0. The biggest change for most library callers will be the removal of the old bitmask-based channel layout API, replaced by the AVChannelLayout API allowing such features as custom channel ordering, or Ambisonics. Certain deprecated ffmpeg CLI options were also removed, and a C11-compliant compiler is now required to build the code. ↫ FFmpeg website I don’t think many of directly interface with FFmpeg, but we’re most likely all using it one way or another. Even Microsoft (here‘s the referenced bug report).

Pray With Me | A Mother’s Prayer Audio

by
In this heartwarming and emotionally resonant video, we delve into the profound journey of motherhood through the lens of prayer. Through the challenges and triumphs of everyday life, a mother’s prayer serves as a guiding light, a source of strength, and a beacon of hope.

The video opens with serene imagery: a mother gently cradling her newborn, the soft glow of candlelight illuminating the room. As the narrative unfolds, we witness the myriad moments that define a mother’s experience – the laughter, the tears, the joys, and the fears.

Interspersed with these tender scenes are glimpses of the mother in quiet reflection, her lips moving in silent prayer. Whether she’s seeking guidance in the face of uncertainty, finding solace during difficult times, or expressing gratitude for life’s blessings, her prayers are a testament to the depth of a mother’s love.

The video explores the universal themes of sacrifice, resilience, and unwavering devotion that characterize the essence of motherhood. Through the highs and lows, the mother’s faith remains unwavering, her prayers a constant source of comfort and reassurance.

As the video draws to a close, we see the mother tucking her child into bed, her whispered prayer a whispered promise of protection and unconditional love. The screen fades to black, leaving viewers with a poignant reminder of the enduring power of a mother’s prayer.

“A Mother’s Prayer” is a poignant tribute to the boundless love and strength that mothers embody, reminding us of the sacred bond between mother and child that transcends all obstacles.
