Recently I saw that F-Droid got version 1.13 and I’m wondering why F-Droid doesn’t suggest to update the application if I have version 1.12.1. Is 1.13 unstable or is it pre-release?
Good question. If you enable expert mode in F-Droid and enable
Unstable updatesit shows up as update here so I guess it is indeed not stable yet (odd numbers are unstable ?). The changelog doesn’t make this clear.To be honest I thought that
alphareleases were unstable, not the “normal” ones. I wonder how unstable 1.13 really is if they released it.I mean, for what it’s worth, it’s not either like their alpha-versions are super unstable.
They did still include feature-changes going from 1.13-alpha1 to 1.13, so maybe they have a super lightweight model of releasing the version and if no bugs are found in a month or so, then everyone gets upgraded to that.
You may be right but there always will be bugs on more or less devices so it would be difficult for them to release version that have no bugs at all.
I think it’s stable and just mistakenly tagged as pre-release. The same thing happened in a few previous non-alpha versions.
That makes sense but I saw many issues open on their GitLab related to this version so I’m bit afraid to switch.
Which app is it?
Official F-Droid client.
