Read the template carefully.

@opusforlife2 please considering releasing the new version on Fdroid. I had no pending updates, and that's where I'm getting them.

Sure, but why the "computer says no" approach to life? 😅

The comment isn't even related to the checklist. A fix for this has been released, but not on Fdroid. That's what I was pointing out. But I guess people here are not just very welcoming, that's a bit sad.

@tomaspinho Now that you have read the template properly, you know your issue was invalid and didn't need to be opened.

If you instead search for f-droid updates here, you will see multiple issues where you're advised to either wait for F-Droid, or use our custom repo linked from the website.
