I recently noticed, that the Home Assistant app on F-Droid has been stuck on 2025.11.4 since, well, November 2025.

I tried some searches, but couldn't find any info on why this is, does anyone here know?

The official releases include the minimal APK for all recent versions.

2025.11.4 is the previous stable release, all the others since that are marked as pre-release. 2025.11.4 was released on gh on 11-23, the fdroid build was finished on 11-27, 4 days later.

The new release was tagged on 01-25, the new build should be done in the following days.

Ok yup, I completely missed that all releases in between were pre releases, I thought it was just a few. Thanks for the hint.

I do wonder now, why 2025.12 was never stable...

2016.11.4

You mean 2025.11.4, right? I panicked a bit and looked at my calendar :D

Edit:

01-25

Here it is 01-26 I hope?

My perception of time is flawed. 1 year error is acceptable for me. But fixed it for you.

I'm on my phone so github only writes "a week ago", I guessed the date from the commits' date. But on planet earth there are always at least 2 days at the same time, and sometimes 3, since Kiribati changed its time zone

You need to start counting from 0…

On Obtanium I have 2026.1.6 🙂

Obtainium just downloads it from gh. Fdroid rebuilds the apks from source

What this article has to do with this topic?

Obtainium is a different platform with a different goal, I have both installed, but I get homeassistant from aurora, as I need the full version, location reporting works there well with microg/unifiednlp, I don't have play services
