This Week in F-Droid

TWIF curated on Thursday, 22 May 2025, Week 21

Community News

Delta Chat and ArcaneChat were updated to 1.58.4. If you are a fan of Delta Chat, Chatmail, webxdc and the related projects, maybe you can drop-by in Freiburg, in the Black Forest, between June 7-17th. The “Decentralized Internet Federation Fusion” will be an international gathering of the minds and the fans. While you wait for the calendar to switch to June, do try the new Delta Chat Desktop too, now running on Firefox.

Jami was updated to 20250513-01, small improvements making the app better.

Session was updated to 1.23.1 and the whole network migrated, the other day. The team wrote a post that explains the why and the how.

Telegram FOSS, Telegram is a messaging app with a focus on speed and security, was archived as development stopped. We recommend you switch to the other still maintained forks like Forkgram.

@linsui patches the news:

APatch version 11039 was rebuilt, to fix an issue, but looks like we’ve hit another one. Please avoid this update as the app will never start.

Xed-Editor was updated to 3.1.0, and Git integration was moved to a standalone extension. The developer also warns users to only download the app from the official sources: F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid and the project Github, as somebody has put the app on Play without their approval. The same person/company has done the same for WhatSave unfortunately.
