I went through all PRs that have "to review" label.
Most of them have already an approval by @AndyScherzinger, so they only need some approval by either @mario or @przybylski.
I will have a look into those PRs that require an approval by me this week.

Ideally we can merge the PRs soon so they are some time in dev version until RC1 is done next week on thursday.

[mario]

I commented on most PRs. Two big ones that I did not yet that need quite a lot of testing:

• device credentials
• recycler view

Please comment on questions where I've had them, and review my PRs.

[tobiasKaminsky]

As far as I can see in this ticket, we only have #2039 and #2372 left.

Good job :tada:

Andy and me tested it and it is not working. Rushing this in is a bit dangerous, or?
After lunch I'd like to do RC1.

[mario]

Ok

3.1.0 RC1 released to 6092 beta user :tada:

[tobiasKaminsky]

Two fixes found, if nothing new comes up, I will do RC2 tomorrow (29.03.)

[tobiasKaminsky]

RC2 released :+1:

[AndyScherzinger]

@tobiasKaminsky @mario I created a maintenance branch for 3.1.x based on 3.1.0RC2: https://github.com/nextcloud/android/tree/stable-3.1.x

[tobiasKaminsky]

Talked with Jos and planned is to release 3.1 on wednesday during hackweek :tada:

[tobiasKaminsky]

Backport

• [x] https://github.com/nextcloud/android/pull/2164 -> #2451
• [x] https://github.com/nextcloud/android/pull/2449 -> #2452
• [x] #2450 -> #2453

[AndyScherzinger]

• [x] Also fetch latest transifex translations

[AndyScherzinger]

Added all open tasks to the main description

[AndyScherzinger]

Updated the closed todos.
@tobiasKaminsky can you also take care of publishing the apk on the Nextcloud download server? That'd be great :+1:

[AndyScherzinger]

@Bubu @tobiasKaminsky any idea why f-droid still hasn't published 3.1? Even owncloud which has been released days after our 3.1 release has been published already...

[tobiasKaminsky]

Ah, talked to Markus yesterday and also submitted a manual 3.1 merge request (https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/merge_requests/3093).

The problem is that fdroid tries to figure out the latest available version by parsing build.gradle.
Due to our newest semantic schemic version generation, this is currently not working any longer.
On IRC I got some hints, which will hopefully work.

[tobiasKaminsky]

I tried it without luck as their approach will not work for us, I fear. It is reading head/build.gradle to find out version code/name, but we have master and a release branch (e.g. 3.x). So master already have a "next alpha version"...

I fear we have to either revert the automatic generation or do the fdroid releases manually (which I prefer).
I will have a look into fastlane soon, which I want to use to automaticate building & publishing process to gplay and maybe this can also be used for fdroid to generate a merge request.

[AndyScherzinger]

I also prefer the manual way :+1:

[tobiasKaminsky]

I updated the generic release issue to reflect the manual fdroid way.

[tobiasKaminsky]

3.1 is now in Fdroid, but not yet as "stable"/latest version, I opened up a merge request for this.

[tobiasKaminsky]

Now 3.1.0 is marked as latest version in Fdroid, so we are done here :tada:
