Basically title. I noticed the new version in my F-Droid client but there wasn’t any information about it anywhere. The version name also had a mention of the Google Play Store (gplay). What’s up with all of this? Are there any questionable proprietary components being implemented to comply with the Play Store requirements or something?

    That link 404s.

    Edit: did it explain why they had to remove donation links? That seems unfortunate.

      Google wants your app to handle payments through Play Services so they can get a cut. I think it’s technically allowed now to have external payment links in certain cases, but sometimes it’s just easier to remove the thing Google is mad at even if they’re in the wrong.

      Again, though, that commit is only for the Google Play variant. Maybe some weird branch merging thing happened and it ended up in the main branch accidentally, but it shouldn’t have made it to F-DROID.
