#WireGuard becomes the first VPN app on #FDroid to be built reproducibly! It is now guaranteed to be 100% equal to the WireGuard the developer builds.

If you're using WireGuard from F-Droid, please export your tunnels and re-install to continue receiving updates. (1/2)

We identified a serious bug with F-Droid 1.16 through 1.16.2 when doing an Android version upgrade (e.g.: Android 12 to 13), causing F-Droid to end up in a broken state with no apps available and update checking not working.

(1/2)

We are preparing the release of F-Droid 1.16.3 which prevents this bug from happening. It will be out soon.

Please refrain from updating your Android version until you have updated to F-Droid 1.16.3.

F-Droid 1.16.3 is out! We recommend all users to update to this release. It fixes a serious issue rending F-Droid unusable after Android version upgrade (for example, Android 12 to 13).

🎉 We're growing! Our global #FDroid community is pleased to announce that we now have an official governance plan and a brand-new volunteer Board of Directors. We're excited to work with them to keep improving the leading all #FOSS mobile app (1/2)

The F-droid app is undergoing major changes: Faster and smaller updates thanks to a new repository format.

For this, we needed to change the entire app database. To ensure that there are no regression we need your help: Please install the latest alpha version of F-Droid (1/2)

1.16 and report anything unusual. (2/2)

Have you heard about #ReproducibleBuilds? This is one of the biggest #security benefits of #FOSS. On #Android, this technique ensures that the #FDroid version of an app exactly matches the developer's version.

Did you know that #FDroid isn't only informing you about #tracking with anti-feature warnings, but also removes trackers from apps? #FDroidUserSurvey

@fdroidorg@floss.social This only applies to apps from F-Droids official f-droid.org repository. On 3rd party repositories all bets are off! (Basically all F-Droid compatible repositories other than the one provided by our team on f-droid.org) Apps (1/2)

in those can contain trackers or worse and may also omit setting appropriate anti-feature warnings. (2/2)

On Google Play many FOSS apps contain non-free trackers. That often enough prevents apps from getting into the official f-droid.org repo. So may apps provide a build flavor without non-free dependencies for F-Droid.

The test-results of our latest security audit are in.
