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

          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 [email protected] said you’ll find it by searching f-droid on f-droid.org, scroll down to version 2.0 and download the apk.

          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.

            I think you can get to it also by searching “f-droid” inside f-droid

        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.
