Our highlight this week:
F-Droid and F-Droid Basic were updated to the stable version 1.19.0. It brings automatic background updates and a new and better workflow for adding repositories. Please note: this version is not yet the suggested version, so you need to enable beta updates, if you don't want to wait any longer.
Also we talk about notable updates of some apps and the ongoing spring cleaning.

We have defined a secure and usable architecture for decentralized package repositories that any mobile user can use and understand possible risks.
The next official release of the official F-Droid client will widely deploy this to our users. We then plan to make a final architecture document, so others can understand the whole model.
We would love any kind of feedback, our drafts are here: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/wiki/-/wikis/Repository-Management-Overhaul#architecture-and-ux-considerations

Upcoming releases of F-Droid will change how repositories are added. We are interested in feedback about this overhaul.
Please tell us (if you already have the latest F-Droid or F-Droid Basic 1.19.0-alpha installed):
* Does adding repos still work for you?
* And did adding repos became easier or harder?
If you don't have 1.19.0 yet: Note that this is still in beta, so brave users need to install this manually (enable Beta updates for the app or from Client expert settings).

Unlike Google, F-Droid does not force developers to publicize their name or address information.
We understand that people have many reasons to develop under another name than their legal one and to keep their personal information private. And that what matters is the trust between user and developer, not private details of their lives.
For more information on how we designed F-Droid to protect your privacy, see https://f-droid.org/2022/02/28/no-user-accounts-by-design.html.

We're very happy to announce that our volunteer sys-admin crew finally set up IPv6 support. It's roughly 15% faster than legacy IP and mobile networks are often IPv6 native, so phones don't have to go through IPv4 translation anymore to reach https://f-droid.org
