Arcticons (https://f-droid.org/packages/com.donnnno.arcticons), Arcticons Black (https://f-droid.org/packages/com.donnnno.arcticons.light), Arcticons Day & Night (https://f-droid.org/packages/com.donnnno.arcticons.daynight) and Arcticons Material You (https://f-droid.org/packages/com.donnnno.arcticons.you) were all updated to 14.0.0. We skipped a version while fighting reproducibility bugs, but now the latest one is here with more than 14000 icons in total.
Einstein Launcher (https://f-droid.org/packages/com.eblan.launcher) was updated to 0.3.3-alpha. Which launcher? Eblan launcher, got renamed, the rest is still the same.
We just added Futon (https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.landwarderer.futon), Manga reader with online catalogues, as a Kotatsu fork. Since Kotatsu has stopped development, it will be archived soon so maybe test this new app and switch.
LabNex for GitLab (https://f-droid.org/packages/com.labnex.app) was updated to 7.0.0, adding some useful features and many fixes (https://github.com/labnex/LabNex/releases/tag/7.0.0). It still misses one of two must haves for us, but do start testing it out for your GitLab developer mobile workflow.
SmartScan (https://f-droid.org/packages/com.fpf.smartscan) was updated to 1.1.9 as the last version we will provide. The app source repo was archived hence we will archive the app too, in about two days.
