Description

This is an alternative F-Droid client which is based on the older UI of the official client (pre 1.0).
While the new client UI looks pretty, it's sometimes a bit clunky.
Lots of information that was provided clearly in the old UI is now not available or hidden behind more taps now.
F-Droid Classic brings features of the modern 1.x version of F-Droid to the classic UI, this includes:

* Index-v1 support
* Inline changelog entries
* Localized metadata
* Screenshots
* Donation links

Upcoming features:

* Better mirror support

It doesn't support the following features and probably never will

* Swap
* Index-v0 (old xml based index) support
* Support for Android < 4.4

<b>Note:</b> If you want beta updates you can enable the F-Droid Classic repo in the repo management screen. Releases will also usually be available there a few days before they make it into the main F-Droid repository.

What’s new (1.2)

**NOTE**: F-Droid Classic 1.2 will be the last version to support Android 4.4

* Lot's of small UI improvements to a number of screens
* Add pull-to-refresh gesture for updating repositories
* Add a QR code scanner to the app for easier repo additions
* Accessibility improvements to app list
* Add a few disabled repositories to defaults (only for new installs)

See CHANGELOG.md for details.
