Wellā¦
Major redesign of the user interface
Oh, nice
Temporarily disabled Push (IMAP IDLE) until we can make it work reliable; your accounts will be polled every 15 minutes instead
Umm, sad
K-9 Mail now requires Android 5.0 and newer
Umm, sad
Added support for Autocrypt setup message
Oh, nice
I guess we could package an unstableā¦
Done in this commit. Note that if you already have K-9 installed, it wonāt be upgraded to 5.700 automatically. Do this explicitly if you want this pre-release version.
Am I right, that downgrade (5.7 ā 5.6) will be impossible?
Yes, this is Android platform restriction.
But you still can Restore after downgrade
Hey guys, i cant find it in the official repositories, Ć¼ber versions there is only 5.6, iāve refreshed repositories but still nothing 
What am i doing wrong?
Greetings
Could you explaint, what does it mean āRestore after downgradeā?

5.700 has not been built yet. Should become available in a day or two.

I donāt know much about F-droidās build process but it seems the build for 5.701 failed?
I tried to figure out why 5.701 wasnāt available yet on F-droid as it fixes a bug that makes K-9 5.7 hard to use for me 
yeah, the buildserver needs gradle 6.0.1. That the previous build succeded was rather an accident.
If you depend on K9 Iād advise returning to 5.6 as I canāt say at all when the next 5.7 releases will be out. (it could be a month).
Note. that everything 5.7 is still considered beta releases.

I actually met cketti today and we briefly talked about K9 beta releases. First 5.8 will be the stable release, everything in the 5.7 branch will be considered beta. The 5.8 milestone is tracked here: Issues Ā· thundernest/k-9 Ā· GitHub
But we agreed that it makes sense to have the beta releases here on f-droid and it should be fine building them with gradle 5.6 until the buildserver has 6.0.1. So I added that workaround now.

I see it jumps from 4.6 MiB to 7.9 MiB size. Iām fine with the old one until āupgradeā is ārecommended.ā Every bit counts.
thanks @Bubu installed yesterday and I enjoy it a lot!
btw thereās already 5.702 fixing annoying āThe back button now closes the side drawer instead of exiting the app immediatelyā do you have to always push new version or it will update on its own (saw latest Jenkins still took .701)?
5.702 is on itās way now.

Thanks Bubu, I can see it was built 2 days ago already in https://jenkins.debian.net/job/reproducible_fdroid_build_apps/740 but not yet available via fdroid, just curios and to fully understand the process what happens after it is built before it gets into āstoreā?
So how should I understand

It seemed to be ok, but as I said Iām trying to understand the build-to-release process, is it somewhere documented how it works?
