Although google play console shows still some bugs, I suggest that we release the RC5 as a final within the next days.
Then we can focus on bug fixing for a 2.0.1 and in parallel work on a new feature release 2.1 in parallel as @mario suggested with the "new" git workflow.

What do you think? @mario @AndyScherzinger

[TFLye]

nice idea

[AndyScherzinger]

@tobiasKaminsky In general I'd say yes, but two issues still seem to be critical in my opinion (can't say if they are 2.0.0 only though):

• #1450
• #1419 (might be fixed with RC5)

[mario]

@tobiasKaminsky what's the progress on moving all our discussions/ideas to github (from your notebook)? :)

There are quite a few bugs reported (some on Github, some on Play Services, some on Forums) so I'd really opt to fix critical bugs before we release since this is going to be a BIG release, should NOT screw it up.

[tobiasKaminsky]

Transferring from notebook will be next week, currently I am busy on the other project :/
I am trying to fix some bugs now.

[tobiasKaminsky]

@Bubu do you have time to create push RC6 on fdroid? Would be very great :tada:

[Bubu]

@tobiasKaminsky Will do!

Edit: done.

[tobiasKaminsky]

Outstanding issues/prs for RC 7:

• [x] https://github.com/nextcloud/android-library/pull/90
• [x] new lib release & integrate in master
• [x] #1567
• [x] https://github.com/nextcloud/android/pull/1560
• [x] https://github.com/nextcloud/android/pull/1539
• [ ] https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/1419
• [x] https://github.com/nextcloud/android/pull/1575

All other bugs are either "need info" or can imho postponed to 2.0.1.
So after finishing this list I would like to do a RC7 and after that the final 2.0.0

@mario @AndyScherzinger

[AndyScherzinger]

Perfectly fine with we 👍

[tobiasKaminsky]

@Bubu can you do another RC release for us on fdroid? RC7 with tag c-2.0.0-07 (https://github.com/nextcloud/android/releases/tag/rc-2.0.0-07)
Thank you :tada:

[Bubu]

@tobiasKaminsky Done: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/commit/9ec1d7e6a410280335317caffe179b9ab64f7ebf

[enoch85]

Just a quick question, how do I leave the beta program on Google Play once 2.0.0 is released?

[mario]

You'll be automatically upgraded to 2.0.0 stable, but to leave completely:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.nextcloud.client

[enoch85]

Thanks @mario :)

[tobiasKaminsky]

@Bubu may I ask you for the next RC? Hopefully RC8 is the last one finger-crossing

[Bubu]

@tobiasKaminsky Done. The latest stable version was moved to the archive after the last RC (because default is to keep only 3 versions.). I fixed this as well, so RC8 and latest 1.x will be available (again) in 1-2 days.

[tobiasKaminsky]

@Bubu can you do another (hopefully last) RC9?
https://github.com/nextcloud/android/releases/tag/rc-2.0.0-09

Regarding the app versions, I guess the best is to only show the latest RC and at least the latest 2-3 stable version, in case someone wants to downgrade.
RC can then be disabled if version is stable.

Thank you 🥇

[Bubu]

@tobiasKaminsky Done. For showing only latest RC fdroid is lacking the functionality to manually mark versions as archived. They can only be deleted but I havn't done this for now.

[tobiasKaminsky]

You are the expert on fdroid, but I thought that we could "just" put disable on certain build receipts?
https://f-droid.org/docs/Build_Metadata_Reference/#Build

[Bubu]

This works, but completely removes those builds from the server. I would prefer to just move those obsolete RCs to the archive repo along with all the other old versions. I'll ask what the others think about this, but I guess it's not that important to keep old RC's archived for now.

[tobiasKaminsky]

Old RCs are indeed, at least for me, not important.
Each major/minor release of course should still be available, at least as a build receipt.

[Bubu]

Okay, I disabled RC5-7 (fdroid didn't have the ones before that). Will disable RC8 and RC9 after 2.0 is published.

[mario]

Thanks, you're awesome!

Thanks @Bubu! 🎉

[AndyScherzinger]

@Bubu 2.0.0 final has been tagged :)

[Bubu]

It's been picked up by the f-droid bot already, let's see when it will be build! :)

[Bubu]

Will disable RC8 and RC9 after 2.0 is published.

Done now, also I reset the number of available versions in the main repo to 3. Everything older than that is available form the archive.
