This Week in F-Droid
TWIF curated on Thursday, 20 Mar 2025, Week 12
F-Droid core
F-Droid and F-Droid Basic version 1.22.0 were promoted to suggested so everybody got the update this week. If you want to know what’s new, see the changelog.
What’s next? We’re in the bike-shedding stage for the modern UI colors and we polish the nuances of our tones. So stay tuned for a future alpha release soon.
/PS: Hey, psst, don’t tell anyone, but… targetSdk was bumped to 30 for F-Droid and we are going edge-to-edge internally already.
Community News
Element - Secure Messenger was updated to 1.6.34 fixing a CVE bug in the PIN protection. Users are advised to upgrade as soon as possible.
Session was updated to 1.21.0 bringing support for the new Groups v2 standard. If you are an admin or just curious, groups can be upgraded since yesterday, and you can read all about that in this blog post. Also posted was “End-to-End Encryption: Why It’s Essential in Modern Communication” which might not be news to you, its user, but might come in handy for your contacts.
SimpleX Chat was updated to 6.3 for arm64 and by tomorrow for armv7 too. While waiting, do read the 10 minute new blog post from the developers, talking about their own group improvements.
To Do, Create checklists, is back with version 1.2.2 after a 10 year pause. The app is reproducibly built now, so, if by some miracle you had this installed still, make sure to backup and uninstall it, as the new version needs a fresh install.
@shuvashish76 debloats a device:
AppManager dev launched a new website to list and classify bloatware. The Android Debloat List might help you clean house and limit attack surface, and it’s integrated in the app itself since version 4.0.0, see the Debloater function, so you can easily find your way around. As usual with these type of actions, make sure to double check what you disable and verify device functionality after.
