Hello! Where did version 2.33.1 from F-Droid go? It’s now only 2.25.0.

It is withdrawn because of this issue that resulted in the app not starting on some phones after upgrade:

Since then workaround was found, but it requires users to go into “developer options” of Android.
A proper fix is pending at do accounts migration in background by adbenitez · Pull Request #4129 · deltachat/deltachat-android · GitHub

For the record it’s the same when you add a contact. If camera permission is OFF it fails and won’t allow the option to “paste from clipboard” an invitation link or “load QR Code as image”. The same QR scan logic must be used in both places.

there is a new 2.34.0 release:

this is already on its way to f-droid and google play

Over the last few weeks after upgrading to 2.34 I’ve noticed some weird behavior regarding relays.

When switching to a different relay, the next couple of messages are not synced to my other devices. Sometimes they, sometimes not all, arrive after some hours with a different timestamp.

The other thing is, in the profile selector under “Connectivity”, the status of the wrong relay is displayed.
At this point in time, “nine.testrun.org” should display 800 MiB with more space used. Sometimes details of “chatmail.bsd.cafe” is displayed. On the screenshot you can see the details of “arcanechat.me” relay, which is mostly shown.

To test things I’ve switched to the other 2 relays for a brief time in the past, although switched back to “nine.test.run.org”

I’ve experienced the behaviour on Android as well a on Linux desktop. This screenshot shows ArcaneChat from F-Droid.

On Github I saw, some recently closed, issues that may relate to the behaviour.

Can provide logs if it helps.

Thank you!

There is already a pr merged to display quota for all transports, will be in one of the next releases (in 2.36.x, which is not tagged yet) feat: connectivity view: quota for all transports by Simon-Laux · Pull Request #7630 · chatmail/core · GitHub.
So the connectivity view part of your report is already solved.

Hello! DC 2.34.0 Android, classic email server:

  1. After changing the relay on my contacts’ side, the “Verified: Personal” checkbox disappeared from the properties of these contacts.
  2. All other things being equal (the same number of chats with daily message self-destruction enabled), the size of the daily profile backup is constantly increasing.

Because I don’t understand it properly, I have enabled “Multi-Device Mode” and this make me keep filling up relays when changing. I wish there are ways to clear non-main relays.

Hello! In version 2.35.0, the ability to follow links for www-bots has been broken again.

Who has already discovered that from version 2.40 on Android, if you send a message or file to version 2.35 Desktop, an empty message is sent before the message? :upside_down_face:

when sending an image/file/voice-message/etc. from 2.40, some - as well end-to-end-encrypted - information is sent before the real message.

this so called “pre message” can contain message type, text, thumbnail, and allows to target a lot of long standing issues:

  1. more reliable notification: a large download does no longer block tiny time window - the big message is downloaded automatically if there is time (already in 2.40)

  2. reliable “download on demand” - currently it may happen that the not-downloaded message is assigned to the wrong chat (already in 2.40)

  3. offering a download button, while already displaying a thumbnail (not yet in 2.40)

unfortunately, this message is visible to 2.35, however, does not cause harm otherwise. we plan to roll out 2.40 even more coordinated, so that one has a chance to update quickly and get rid of the little annoyance.

Version 2.42.
When you open any video, it takes you to the chat desktop, and you can no longer watch videos.
