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).

[F-Droid (@[email protected]) @fdroidorg]

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.

[F-Droid (@[email protected]) @fdroidorg]

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.

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.
