    WTF, why is the download on the Fdroid front page still giving me 1.3.2?

      Could be a gradual rollout.

      Edit: saw it’s actually still a beta (and probably this is why it doesn’t show), here’s a link for the APK: https://f-droid.org/repo/org.fdroid.fdroid_2000050.apk

          I don’t know, could be. I just tried downloading and I’m getting the 1.x version too.

            Yeah me too.

            Edit: just like [email protected] said you’ll find it by searching f-droid on f-droid.org, scroll down to version 2.0 and download the apk.

              Ah, right. It’s still tagged as beta, maybe that’s why it doesn’t appear in other places (like in the news article on their site).

              Thanks for the tip.

              Edit: direct link to said beta version.

        I use droid-ify. It didn’t pop any updates for F-droid, but I updated it manually, since the 2.0 version is there.

          I downloaded the apk directly from the website and it still installs 1.3.2 or whatnot, what am I doing wrong ?

          Found it !

          https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fdroid.fdroid/

          I had to go through the Gitlab, browse to “client” (https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient ), and scroll down to the readme section to find the link.

            I think you can get to it also by searching “f-droid” inside f-droid
