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.
