This Week in F-Droid

TWIF curated on Friday, 23 Jan 2026, Week 4

F-Droid core

Back in March 2024 (https://f-droid.org/2024/03/21/twif.html) we announced our switch to Debian version 12 (named Bookworm) and today we are announcing our upgrade to version 13 nicknamed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_release_version_history) Debian Trixie. We have been testing this internally for months and as of today we’ve had several cycles that already built apps with the new version.

What does this mean? For you as a user, nothing at all, apps are included, updated and archived as usual.

For you as a developer, Trixie uses Java 21 by default so we’d need to evaluate how your app or app recipe can be best updated now. If your app already used 21 there’s nothing to do. If it uses 17 or older, we’d need to adapt the build recipes to either install the older version or adapt the source code to build with 21 but produce Java 17 byte-code or, better yet, ping you to see if an upgrade to Java 21 can be done easily.

We are processing apps as they come so you’ll hear from us if there’s any need for help.

Community News

The old Matrix client got a new name, Element Classic (https://f-droid.org/packages/im.vector.app), and was updated to 1.6.48, while the newer one, Element X - Secure Chat & Call (https://f-droid.org/packages/io.element.android.x) was updated to 26.01.1.

Are you coming to FOSDEM 2026 (https://fosdem.org/2026/) next week? If you are, make sure FOSDEM 2026 Schedule (https://f-droid.org/packages/info.metadude.android.fosdem.schedule) and/or FOSDEM Companion (https://f-droid.org/packages/be.digitalia.fosdem) are installed, they both got an update this week, and keep the schedule up to date. Also, bookmark our presentations and find our booth to say ‘hi’.

Launch - Minimalist Launcher was archived as it got an application ID change. If you’ve installed it before this week, make sure to jump ship to the new Launch - Minimalist Launcher (https://f-droid.org/packages/com.guruswarupa.launchh), A clean, efficient, and minimalist launcher.

Luanti (https://f-droid.org/packages/net.minetest.minetest) was updated to 5.15.0 with a plethora of changes (https://docs.luanti.org/about/changelog/#5140--5150).

Tusky (https://f-droid.org/packages/com.keylesspalace.tusky) was updated to 32 beta 01, but not yet suggested (install manually or toggle Betas in the menu). The big change (https://codeberg.org/tusky/Tusky/src/branch/develop/CHANGELOG.md#v32-0) lies in the new timeline code that was rewritten in a modern framework, meaning all things “post” are now better.
