About F-Droid Classic

This is an alternative F-Droid client which is based on the older UI of the official client (pre 1.0).

While the new client UI looks pretty, it's sometimes a bit clunky.

Lots of information that was provided clearly in the old UI is now not available or hidden behind more taps now.

F-Droid Classic brings features of the modern 1.x version of F-Droid to the classic UI, this includes:

* Index-v1 support

* Inline changelog entries

* Localized metadata

* Screenshots

* Donation links

Upcoming features:

* Better mirror support

It doesn't support the following features and probably never will

* Swap

* Index-v0 (old xml based index) support

* Support for Android Note: If you want beta updates you can enable the F-Droid Classic repo in the repo management screen. Releases will also usually be available there a few days before they make it into the main F-Droid repository.

What's new in 1.2

**NOTE**: F-Droid Classic 1.2 will be the last version to support Android 4.4 * Lot's of small UI improvements to a number of screens * Add pull-to-refresh gesture for updating repositories * Add a QR code scanner to the app for easier repo additions * Accessibility improvements to app list * Add a few disabled repositories to defaults (only for new installs) See CHANGELOG.md for details.
