👍

[tobiasKaminsky]

@mario @AndyScherzinger do we want to make some whats new screens?
Out of the features I would say

• End-to-end encryption
• Screen adapted images instead of downloading
• IPv6 support

[AndyScherzinger]

I agree with the list for what's new

• End-to-end encryption
• Screen adapted images instead of downloading

[mario]

What about IPv6 support pffF? :P

[tobiasKaminsky]

Then I'll do slides for those 3

[xXSTrikeXx]

Screen adapted images instead of downloading... :)

That sounds very cool

[tobiasKaminsky]

3.0RC1 is now released on Google Play Store Beta Program and later this evening on Fdroid.

[xXSTrikeXx]

I dont know why exactly, but I miss the old icon. This one looks so narrow like a slimly built app and not like a big Cloud. :D Atleast I think its because of my sort order :D

[tobiasKaminsky]

@xXSTrikeXx can you make a screenshot of it?
Here it fits quite well.
(But yes, there were some discussions about the icon)

[xXSTrikeXx]

I know :D and I havent something against it. It`s more my os that I think I need in next future a new mobile device :D In my case it looks like a seperation. :D I think its time for me using a newer android version :D Let it be a circle, I'll watch for a new launcher! :D

[AndyScherzinger]

@tobiasKaminsky @Bubu does any of you have any information/insight on if and when f-droid will be able to build and ship the 3.0.0 RC tags since 3.0.0 stable is kind of around the corner? No pressure, just asking!

[tobiasKaminsky]

RC3 is already in metadata, thanks to Marcus 👍
Unforunately it seems that the buildserver has currently major hiccups...

[tobiasKaminsky]

Stable 3.0 is released on GPlay.
Fdroid will automatically fetch the new tag and build the new version.

[Bubu]

RC3 is built and released on fdroid as of yesterday.

[AndyScherzinger]

Nice @Bubu 👍
