hi Martin, thank you for your post. it is good to know, that Delta Chat Android also runs on a Jolla Phone with Sailfish OS - in fact, i did not know that :) is there an app store or sth. like that? however, of course, we are interesting in keeping the current state, however, as far as i know, no one of the devs have a Sailfish OS nor is it tested somehow - so, if you notice some arising problems, please let us know. to find out potential problems before new versions are released, you can also join our Testing Group (a Delta Chat group :) - please just let me know, if you are interested. alternatively, we usually also inform about testing released on IRC #deltachat (i know, it would be good if that happens also here or in the forum, however, in the past, it did not :) best - bjoern On 06.04.2020 09:37, Martin Stenzel wrote: > > Greetings to the list, > > first but not least: A great many thanks for this great masterpiece of > software - Chapeau! > > I am very grateful that this software runs on my Jolla 1 phone > (manufactured 2014, running Sailfish OS (https://sailfishos.org/) with > android support. > It would be great if you keep it this way, keeping the needed Android > API version the way it is... > This way it is not necessary to have a native Sailfish OS client. > Everything works as expected, fully satisfied! > > Keep up the good work! > > Martin, Germany > > > > > __________ Information from ESET Mail Security, version of virus > signature database 21118 (20200406) __________ > > The message was checked by ESET Mail Security. > http://www.eset.com > > _______________________________________________ > delta mailing list -- delta(a)codespeak.net > To unsubscribe send an email to delta-leave(a)codespeak.net >

I get that they are pushing to publish on the Play Store, I'd like to know what are exactly the services which won't available by publishing on F-droid or what other drawbacks are to be expected in the future... I was tracking Delta on F-droid, but the last December big jump update to 1.0 screw my installation entirely, it stopped receiving new messages completely and I had to resort in uninstalling and installing from Play to get again a fully working installation of Delta which receives frequent updates. I have the impression that Delta has abandoned F-Droid... -- Marco

I had to resort to change store entirely. Is either one of the two stores a "preferred" one to which you push the release or will F-droid continue to receive timely updates from now ? Because as things are now I don't see major reasons to come back on F-droid for Delta. -- Marco

Personally, I don't use the Google Play Store at all - I can assure you that simply getting Delta from F-Droid is working perfectly fine :) I hope one day we can get rid of corporate surveillance once and for all On 08.04.20 18:58, compl4xx wrote:
