@cryptgoat @fdroidorg
That's not an answer to my question.@draken
Your question is not even a full sentence.There is no option in the app for the old UI. Either you maintain a fork with the old UI or never update (which is hard to recommend).

What if we want to keep the classic look because it's more functional?@draken @fdroidorg We work to make sure that old versions remain working. That said, it is not likely that security issues in old unsupported releases will be fixed.

If naming our releases 'alpha' or 'rc' impeded you to update, now you are free to install.
As usual we are exercising this as a stage roll-out, so you can now expand Versions and install 2.0.

@fdroidorg
Seems to be good on my side

@fdroidorg I've been using this new update for a while now and everything is great. The only thing missing, at least for me, is the option to click on a category and see all the apps from that category, without having to choose one subcategory each time.
But that's a personal thing, I can always navigate each subcategory separately.
Anyway, great update, everything looks and works better.
Great work. -

@fdroidorg imagine my sursprise when the app I wanted to install (e1547) was banned by f-droid and is only available on the playstore and github (because it could potentially browse sites with adult content?!) meanwhile you have nitter apps that can browse X (twitter) which has an AI bot for undressing people
f-droid is not an alternative, it's even more restricted than the fucking play store and if anyone has a real alternative I'd love to hear about it

You most likely have talkback installed at a lower (but incompatible?) version. It doesn't propose an update or where do you see that?

@fdroidorg The new UI seems amazing! I love it!
But I do wonder why even on the new version I still get this message on F-Droid app itself -

Just because 2.0 didn't roll out for it yet. Once it does, the message will go away. Alternatively, enable beta updates in top right corner.

@fdroidorg Is there an option to hide the repositories list behind an extra password?
As someone who manages the software for several family members, I am not really comfortable having the option to add repositories available to them *that* conveniently.

@fdroidorg why does it say auto update is not available? It was like this for version 1.2x and my current 2.0.
I managed to update from 1.2 to 2.0 by allowing beta update. Turning beta update off, makes this message appear.

And will the new version at last be able to export (and re-import) my additional repositories? Such as droid-ify can do. -

@fdroidorg I noticed F-Droid 2.0 has a "most downloaded" section. Which is great, but where does this info come from? Is it compatible with the publicly available #IzzyOnDroid download statistic standard (https://codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/iod-stats-builder) so users who use multiple repositories can have proper combined statistics for the most reliable and complete image of what is popular? I remember actively reaching out about this but not getting any response, would be a shame if this was done in an incompatible way

I have updated to the latest version. It looks very nice.
I am missing the "Permissions" section of an app's page. Is it really removed, or will it be added back gradually in a future release?
Thanks for the great work
