Hello @delta
I'm puzzled, the #DeltaChat Android app (from the Google play store, 2.34.0) doesn't offer to set a video chat instance
The version 2.11.0 from the FDroid store does.
Is this intentional?
The first one is set to English, the FDroid one to German
Side problem: while the web version of #FDroid also shows me 2.34.0 the "app store" on #EOS always downloads 2.11.0. It even offers an update but the version stays on 2.11
I decided to just quickly release 2.41.4 and disable the automatic barcode encoding detection for now. Breaking Deutschlandticket is definitely one of the worst things that could have happened and I don't want people to get stranded in Germany.
github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…
I've asked @IzzyOnDroid and linsui (from @fdroidorg) to get this release out more quickly if possible: github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…
Coming soon to an app store near you.

Disable automatic barcode encoding detection for now (breaks too many cards) This discussion was created from the release 2.41.4.GitHub
Okay, *one* last release for Android 5 users.
#Catima 2.41.2 is out
github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…
The barcode encoding feature added in Catima 2.41.0 caused a very minor change in how barcodes where generated, which for some users led to failures to use their cards (github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…). This is now fixed by slightly changing how automatic mode works.
Coming soon to an app store near you.

QR code card added to Catima prior to v2.41, referring to https://xtra.colruytgroup.be/xtra/qr/961198520459603760316514. Was working fine until v2.40.x (scanned OK at the cash desk) Using v2.41.1, ...se-te (GitHub)
#Catima 2.41.0 is out!

This release adds support for UTF-8 barcodes (by default, the encoding will be extracted from the pkpass file or auto-detected if set otherwise).
It also contains some bugfixes and UI tweaks.
Due to Google dropping Android 5 compatibility in their libraries, this will be the last release available for Android 5.

Some other simple things
8. Disable google advertising ID in phone settings
9. Install F-Droid where you can discover many FLOSS apps deliberately not published on google play
10. Switch from a fingerprint to a pin (added bonus that police in several countries can legally force your thumb onto your phone but cant legally force you to give up a pin)
11. Switch from google notification servers to something else like microg and/or set notifications to not display message content or at least not display message content when the phone is locked (Im pretty sure all that can be done from notification settings)
12. Switch from googles keyboard app to an open source alternative from f-droid (google has been fined millions before for illegally and secretly tracking geolocation it wouldnt surprise me if they do the same with keystrokes, and also mic and camera)
13. There's a bunch of other phone-home features spread across the settings but mostly under privacy category and accessibility category that you might want to turn off if you have no use for

More metadata protection: protect message recipients
More resilience: new experimental feature to use several addresses per profile (multi-relay)
#Catima 2.40.0 is out!

This adds a small feature #Stocard users have been repeatedly asking for over the years (though to this day I don't know for what use case): the ability to quickly copy the card ID to your clipboard.
It also contains the conversion of the MainActivity from Java to Kotlin, making almost all UI activities Kotlin now.

Finally a smart RSS reader which doesn't suck ass or your data.f-droid.org
hi, you can find some differences in the description of the app in #fdroid amongst the more interesting things is markdown support, there used to be several more unique features, like the green dot, but a lot of them has been added to official DC in the meantime

⚡ Fast encrypted chats for the family 🎉f-droid.org
I don't use apps like whatsapp or skype because they sell my data and don't trust them.
I was hoping for a foss alternative to talk to my parents, regular folk who need something easy to set up on their android devices, ideally through fdroid.
I don't want to reveal a real phone number because I don't want ads from nobody.
I don't need to see my parent's faces, I just need to talk to them and maybe send files and lines of text.
Thanks a lot for producing the link for my presentation at #linuxday #torino regarding #xmpp #lineage and #fdroid
I see a lot of downloads from my nextcloud and want to thanks all the community for its support and the development of all these solutions that give us the possibility of alternatives.
I would love to see more of these events, as I see then as a real opportunity of communication and development.
I am thinking - despite my lack of time - to create an xmpp group for Turin area and piedmont, based on cultural activities, food and free software, to continue the adventure.
Please give me your ideas or comments regarding that!
#Catima 2.39.2's release on #GooglePlay has been delayed due to the regular incompetent review program blocking the update due to "lack of provided login credentials for testing".
I've filed an appeal, stating that Catima is fully offline and has no accounts. We will see.
If you're a Google Play user, to be honest, please just use Catima from #IzzyOnDroid, #GitHub or #FDroid. The more people not on Google Play, the less power Google has on blocking updates :)
#Catima 2.39.2 is out!
Sorry end-users, this is a very boring release for you, not a single new feature or visible change.
However, it does modernize the codebase a bit: a lot of Java code was rewritten to Kotlin to more closely follow modern Android guidelines. Catima is now almost 20% Kotlin :)

We took for granted that at least our tech bubble would understand what the Google Decree means for Android, #FLOSS and freedom. Unfortunately we never saw the uproar we were expecting and people just shrugged it off taking for granted that "nothing changes".
@marcprux great #FDroid post brought the issue into the light, waking up developers, users, media and (we hope) concerned authorities to the immense danger the newly proposed gatekeeping controls Google wants to add.

This fixes a crash bug which was reported using the new #ACRA crash reporter functionality *less than 3 hours after the last version released*. If that's not an ACRA success story I don't know what is ;)

This release targets Android 16 and fixes a crash. Sadly, Google removed support for controlling screen orientation, so this functionality had to be removed.
Catima now also includes ACRA in the FOSS release for crash reporting. If a crash occurs, a dialog will appear to ask you to report the crash. Reports are never sent automatically and you can always review it.

Please note that the #FDroid release is sadly still delayed due to gitlab.com/fdroid/admin/-/issu….
There is also F-Droid's request to Google on issuetracker.google.com/issues….
I'm watching the F-Droid issue and it looks like Google may release a new version of aapt2 that can run on the older hardware of the F-Droid buildserver but that doesn't seem to have happened yet. Hopefully this changes in the near future.

If anyone is curious, my current Android setup is as follows:
I use #NeoStore or #Droidify (currently Neo Store, the new stats support is just too tempting) with the #IzzyOnDroid repo as primary app source, the #FDroid repo as secondary.
If I need something not on either of those, I will use #AuroraStore to access #GooglePlay.
Random APKs from GitHub or whatever only in very very specific cases. I will generally wait until the app drops on F-Droid or (preferably) IzzyOnDroid.
#FDroid website does not load? Yay, certificates rotation failed.🙄
We're on to it, will keep you posted...

This release features a redesigned logo, kindly contributed by il-Luca (github.com/il-Luca) and Aeven-Dev (github.com/aeven-dev).
The redesign was kept very close to the original design from TangentFoxy (github.com/TangentFoxy), to try to not affect people's ability to recognize the app in their app drawer.

@abeorch Well, I get the feeling. And yeah, #Fdroid _is_ my preferred store. But sadly, Google Play Store is the distribution channel that 99% of the Android users know, trust and use.
And on the app promotion page, (app.mapcomplete.org), Fdroid is placed on top with a reason ;)
A big announcement:
#MapComplete is now available as #Android app on the #Google #Playstore
Grab your copy here: play.google.com/store/apps/det…
(If you don't like google, the Android version is alson available on #FDroid: f-droid.org/en/packages/org.ma…
Or you can use the web version on mapcomplete.org)

#Catima 2.36.0 is out!

We hope to extend the widget in the future to allow you to choose which cards you want to show and how you want them sorted.

#Conversations_im 2.19.0 is available on #FDroid and Google Play. Please upgrade!
2.19.1 is in the pipeline with some minor bug fixes.
The next version will also show the 'Last Seen' timestamp a little more prominently for those who have Last Seen enabled. (and the underlying algorithm has been modified)
Do you think we should use the subtitle to show number of participants in public conferences now that we made subtitles a part of the UI anyway?
#MapComplete can now be downloaded as #Android #app from the official #Fdroid-repositoried!
Download via f-droid.org/packages/org.mapco…
This is a packaged version of the webversion, so features will remain the same between visiting the website and the app. Using the app has the advantage that all assets are already on your device, requiring less network.

100K. One hundred thousand. That's a lot of #Catima users! And happy users, it seems, looking at that 4.5 star rating ❤️
Just, wow, I never expected my little hobby app to reach 100K active users, and that's just on #GooglePlay, still excluding other app stores like #IzzyOnDroid, #FDroid, direct downloads from #GitHub and sketchy app piracy sites (please don't use that last one, for your own safety 😅)!
Very cool :)
