@fdroidorg To clarify, the "Allow *beta* updates" option will install the *alpha* version? 🤔

@fdroidorg the new design looks great and cleaner than the "old" app. In my apps, there is an app called Google TalkBack with an issue. This app cannot be updated because all versions have an incompatible signature. Deleting the app is not possible, and I checked my apps but couldn't find it in my settings? Is it a mistake, or how can I fix it?

@fdroidorg i don't know if i'm alone, but is it possible for the app to stop automatically add new mirror, (or at least maintain them disabled ?I select one in the EU, yet sadly i often see new mirror enabled by default, making the app violate my explicit intent of selecting a specific mirror.Thanks in advance for any tips if i missed a settings to allow this.

@fdroidorg i like how fast you are moving with these major changes But I guess this means we can expect alpha/beta to last quite some time Not that I'm complaining, I didn't find any major bugs so far

@fdroidorg how can i tell you when I see problems?First off: looks absolutely great.I love "My Apps". "Search" feels really full - but that might be because OSS is so diverse - which is nice.There are some problems with translating. I have never used dutch as a language anywhere - system default is selected in settings and my default is english.

@fdroidorg "Test" how? Got any official test support, or do you just mean bumble around and report any anomalies?

@Dynamodreher An eager translator mixed some boxes, so en-GB users got some strings in... Dutch. Should be fixed now.

@fdroidorg I'm testing F-Droid 2.0 since a while, but it isn't quite obvious where you're supposed to share feedback :/Would be nice if you could make that more clear to testers.

@roshless We've been hammering code and UX for more than one year, some team members would release alpha11 as Stable. But until then alpha10 will refine the UI a bit more based on user studies... so have patience. 😬

@gal1le0 Historically we packaged a TalkBack app that shares the appid with the one Google packages themselves, most users will see that I guess. It's fine to long-press and hide it: 👍

@realcainmosni That page lists real-time (instant messaging) venues, our forum and the actual F-Droid Client development forge. Surely one of them can be used for you to offer your feedback.

@fdroidorg Fair, I suppose, but since the call was put out here it's not unreasonable to also expect a direct answer to a direct question here. I was asking about the mechanism of testing rather than expecting to have to dig through lists and ask a second and maybe third time.

@realcainmosni Ah, I see, well we've been daily driving the alpha for the last year. So use it as usual, install apps, remove apps, add repos, setup settings to your liking, search, browse categories, etc. Observe any inconveniences, issues or odd stuff, then report, pics help. If it crashes please submit the ACRA report by email.
