Why does 0.0.76 not have a changelog or even a release announcement? (lemmy.ml)

Basically title. I noticed the new version in my F-Droid client but there wasn't any information about it anywhere. The version name also had a mention of the Google Play Store (gplay). What's up with all of this? Are there any questionable proprietary components being implemented to comply with the Play Store requirements or something?

Google wants your app to handle payments through Play Services so they can get a cut. I think it's technically allowed now to have external payment links in certain cases, but sometimes it's just easier to remove the thing Google is mad at even if they're in the wrong.

Again, though, that commit is only for the Google Play variant. Maybe some weird branch merging thing happened and it ended up in the main branch accidentally, but it shouldn't have made it to F-DROID.

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
