minus-squarekamen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoI don’t know, could be. I just tried downloading and I’m getting the 1.x version too.
minus-squareIgris@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-22 months agoYeah me too. Edit: just like WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works said you’ll find it by searching f-droid on f-droid.org, scroll down to version 2.0 and download the apk.
minus-squarekamen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-22 months agoAh, right. It’s still tagged as beta, maybe that’s why it doesn’t appear in other places (like in the news article on their site). Thanks for the tip. Edit: direct link to said beta version.
