I've just tried it. The UX is great and the downloads are faster than ever. It's soo much better noww!

    WTF, why is the download on the Fdroid front page still giving me 1.3.2?

    Could be a gradual rollout.

    Edit: saw it's actually still a beta (and probably this is why it doesn't show), here's a link for the APK: https://f-droid.org/repo/org.fdroid.fdroid_2000050.apk

    I don't know, could be. I just tried downloading and I'm getting the 1.x version too.

    Yeah me too.

    Edit: just like WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works said you'll find it by searching f-droid on f-droid.org, scroll down to version 2.0 and download the apk.

    I use droid-ify. It didn’t pop any updates for F-droid, but I updated it manually, since the 2.0 version is there.

    Found it !

    https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fdroid.fdroid/

    I had to go through the Gitlab, browse to "client" (https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient ), and scroll down to the readme section to find the link.
