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?
Replying to @hansolo@lemmy.today
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: f-droid.org/repo/org.fdroid.fdroid_2000050.apk

From the website apk download link?

I don’t know, could be. I just tried downloading and I’m getting the 1.x version too.
Replying to @kamen@lemmy.world
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.

Ah, right. It’s still tagged as beta, maybe that’s why it doesn’t appear in other places (like in the news article on their site).
Thanks for the tip.
