I'm confused. I downloaded the latest version from the website and still have the old one

Looking forward to try out their filters. My personal pipedream is to never have to see another crypto wallet when browsing F-droid. Well, that was the original pipedream, now it includes "AI" crap.

Welp, the new search filters make app search even worse. Now you have to deselect anti-features for each search rather than the way it was before when you could set your preference once and forget it.

Shit like "AI chat" and crypto wallets have their own categories now — so you can just deselect them like anti-features and not have to see them, right? Wrong. Categories are hierarchical, not toggleable, so you just get funneled down into subcategories with no optout.

This screenshot only shows the first half of app categories, sorted alphabetically A-M. Because in their infinite wisdom we now have to wade through 17 game types, and other main categories have been divvied up granularly in the same way.

So overall there is even less chance to sort through the growing mass of apps, and no option to filter out stuff you don't want to see or have no interest in. I get it, there are F-droid devs who are really invested in techbro cult shit, and they think everybody need to share in their dumb kool-aid. It's their app, and they designed it for themselves, not for general users.

If I would have read carefully, I would have seen, that they're rolling it out during the next weeks

Maybe instead of complaining you could bring this up with the F-Droid team and/or create Pull Request to fix it.

Yeah, why reply to a post with relevant first hand experience, right? 🙄 Classic "boo, your opinions clash with mine" response.

Weird, I've had this on F-droid Basic for weeks now. Months? Maybe not, but definitely weeks.

I don't want to make this a fight. You can share your experience but by being hostile towards the F-Droid team you're not being helpful.

Open it. Search for f-droid. Click it. Scroll down, click on versions. Choose version 2.0 . Install it. You will force upgrading to the latest.

I have F-Droid Basic and just downloaded F-Droid 2.0 and I can't tell what the difference is

From the description of the Basic client:

NOTE: The Basic version of F-Droid Client has a reduced feature set (e.g. no nearby share and no panic feature). It targets Android 13 and can do unattended updates without privileged extension or root.

Thank you. Why isn't it on the site though, is the 'rolling release' thing?
