Syncthing Android app discontinued (forum.syncthing.net)

Announcement by the creator: https://forum.syncthing.net/t/discontinuing-syncthing-android/23002

Unfortunately I don’t have good news on the state of the android app: I am retiring it. The last release on Github and F-Droid will happen with the December 2024 Syncthing version.

Reason is a combination of Google making Play publishing something between hard and impossible and no active maintenance. The app saw no significant development for a long time and without Play releases I do no longer see enough benefit and/or have enough motivation to keep up the ongoing maintenance an app requires even without doing much, if any, changes.

Thanks a lot to everyone who ever contributed to this app!

Ubuntu 23.10 Desktop ISOs Re-Released Following Translation Snafu in c/[email protected]

That is correct, it isn't available immediately but a week or so is normal. Upgrades are tested somewhat separately from fresh installs and they get released after the tests pass.

I questioned the headline too. I sure hope it isn't normal but the second half of that acronym does seem accurate.

Ubuntu Maker Canonical Pulls In Control Of LXD in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They really already had control of the product, I think this just formalizes it more. A Canonical employee was already leading the project as part of their duties.
