Thank you.
I wasn’t aware that the post were going to end up in the regular news. To me it sounded more like “its own thing”
For newly added apps, we need a full description and for downgraded ones, we need a reason
wait which ones? examples? You mean when we find bad stuff in latest? I guess…
We can’t know why the downgrade happened. If the develooer can post the reason on this thread it can always be included in the TWIF
We can research

Scroll down to references @licaon-kter mentioned in issue #3069 (closed) · Sep 5, 2023, 9:11 AM
so we go to: Standard Notes License Is Incorrect (#3069) · Issues · F-Droid / Data · GitLab
and now we know.
At the same time… the Note on top is pretty short and on point: “NOTE: Version 3.167.25 is the last one to be free or open-source.”
Thanks for this. \o/ . I’ll check on how to incorporate this on the TWIF for all apps.
Also, @danialbehzadi Thanks for raising the concern that details should be for downgrades and upgrades. I think it is a great idea.
Looks like there is no TWiF post this week… For the next week:
This week we updated and patched some apps for the 0day in libwebp. Please update them as soon as possible:
- org.telegram.messenger
- org.godotengine.editor.v3
- org.documentfoundation.libreoffice
- nekox.messenger
- de.spiritcroc.riotx
- org.sajeg.fallingblocks
- com.foobnix.pro.pdf.reader
- org.documentfoundation.libreoffice
More apps will be fixed in the future so please keep an eye on the Updates tab warnings notices. There are still many apps using the libwebp from Android system. If your system hasn’t got the fix yet then you may be still in danger. You should check them by yourself and we can’t fix that from our side.
Krita has released a new version with the fix but I can’t get it built correctly yet. You can switch to the upstream build (non-foss libs included) meanwhile. If you keep using the old versions please be careful don’t open untrusted webp pictures.
Check what? “they” you mean them
? “system updates” or “Android updates” ?
I meant the apps using system libwebp… If an app is affected and the system is not updated, the user should be careful and maybe stop using the app.
By the way, this thread is going to be too long and it’s hard to find TWiF items… That’s why I thought it’s better to open an issue for every TWiF on GitLab. Then we can discuss a TWiF item in the thread.

add 2-3 words about what’s new (if important)
Not much of an update, but the revival of the RadioDroid project as such after a long time.
Apart from that, one question. I am trying to find for the TWIF the below 2 things:
Community News & Removed Apps
Where can I find these details? For Removed Apps, I tried searching in f-droid monitor, but I could not understand which one relates to this. Is this the same as “disabled apps”?
Also, same for the community news. Where can that be found? Is it the same under “News” section, where if anything is available for the week in run?
Think this is about stuff that pertains to F-Droid. Then again it’s no surprise that nothing happens and it’s all quiet
maybe search for “archive” ?
Yeah, that is true for the news.
For the removed ones, I thought those would be disabled apps as well, right? Or do they fall under some other category?
Those are rarer… to be disabled in whole I mean.
Most gets Archived.
I’m only keeping track of reproducible apps, but 2 got archived and 1 disabled last month: reproducible/overview.md · master · FC (Fay) Stegerman / fdroid-misc-scripts · GitLab
knigopis was disabled because upstream never responded to our questions why the signing key changed: signing key changed · Issue #1 · sirekanian/knigopis · GitHub
Apps that aren’t in the updated index but were in the previous index as per 0000 UTC are listed as removed.
If removed is too strong a word we could opt for a better one instead. Would archived be a preferred term in this case?
Maybe… I guess it depends on why the are not there any more
