Sneak preview. Read more on the page itself :
F-Droid and F-Droid Basic were updated to 1.20.0-alpha1. Targets got bumped and they have their first victim, the panic button. Was that something you ever used?
But it’s not all bad news, a Bluetooth crash is fixed, there’s tighter integration with the unattended updates code for Android 14 and later, permissions icons and screenshots look better and the install buttons were enlarged so your locale translations fit better.
Did you get a chance to update and test? Community News
@linsui felt the breeze first:
A month ago we announced that the beloved Geometric Weather app was removed. We promised news soon, and here they are, Breezy Weather, A powerful, open-source Material Design weather app is available, featuring a beautiful design and a special F-Droid flavor: all weather sources are FOSS. The standard flavor is also completely FOSS but includes weather sources that might need API keys to be accessible.
We’ve been using our PR skills to reach developers as needed. For a while, F-Droid contributors where helping to include more apps from the Proton team, (by the way ProtonVPN - Secure and Free VPN was updated to 5.2.40.2). Proton’s response was positive and a developer soon contacted us. After some back and forth, the app was built by our CI, tested and included. As an update was dropped between cycles, Proton Pass, was built and published. Then why isn’t it listed in Newly Added Apps? Well… the app crashes on start. Proton devs are working on a fix and ask you to refrain from installing the app for now. We will inform you of future developments as we have them.

We are sad to see that OpenBoard didn’t get developed in the last 2 years. Many others felt the same and have forked it to continue working on it. HeliBoard, Customizable open-source keyboard, is now live, 100% offline and expands on the feature set of the old app.
