Android:

  • Removed in-app immediate update check (Google Play Store)

I owe an explanation as to why it was added in the first place and why it ended up getting removed.

  • This was added with the intent of increasing the chances of users being on the latest version so that there is increased awareness of what is and what isn't already there -- in hindsight, this is of a very small minority
  • While this functionality realistically wouldn't be much of a concern if the app is obtained via Google Play Store, the app historically has been FOSS.. until not being so much of that as a result of the recent addition. Considering the application is present on FOSS repositories, the inclusion of said functionality is just incompatible with what FOSS is about.

As fancy and useful as the functionality might be, it just isn't appropriate in this case.

The last couple GitHub release notes will be marked with a notice regarding utilisation of a proprietary components and APIs, so that users are aware of what to avoid if such data gets picked up on FOSS repositories, or could be specifically excluded by the repository maintainer.
