K-9: F-Droid version outdated

[ProactiveServices]

The available version of K-9 on F-Droid is 5.403, which is a few releases behind.

K-9 Mail 5.403 is the latest stable version.

@cketti can we have a new release on f-droid please? I'm suffering from "Fixed bug with some soft keyboards when auto-completing recipients" which was fixed in 5.503.

@himpierre Releases having an odd number for the hundreds are unstable versions. The next stable version will be 5.600. No ETA.

If you want to keep current with bugfix releases you can always track and install from:

https://github.com/k9mail/k-9/releases

of course realizing that a "pre-release" is just that.

[himpierre]

yeah just tried 5.503. but this version still has the bug i'm talking about. I guess i have to file a new one.

Great, since v5.600 was published a few days ago: we'll see that in F-Droid soon, right?

@cketti it looks like the automated F-Droid builds are not working anymore, because the current stable v5.600 is still not available there.

@makuser 5.600 has been in f-droid since 2018-09-11: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.fsck.k9/
I have observed two devices offering and delivering updates to 5.600.
It does need Android 4.0.3 or higher (which of course is really ancient).

5.600 was offered to me a few weeks back and my initial report was erroneous as per the first comment on this thread.
