----- Original message ----- From: Nathan of Guardian nathan@guardianproject.info To: guardian-dev@lists.mayfirst.org Subject: [guardian-dev] Orbot 15.2.0 RC 1 is out! Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2016 09:13:11 -0700

A culmination of work done since March, has resulted in a stable-enough-for-jazz RC 1 release of Orbot v15.2. This is the first RC using our new Gradle-based project, which we hope to even further refine into various useful modules.

We've also redesigned the user interface to be even simpler for new users, yet still have all the exciting options for the old timers. Along with this, we are now shipping on ARM only, SDK16+ release, reducing the app download size to 7MB. We will be released x86 and MIPS builds shortly, as well. We are considering our strategy for supporting older devices, in particular Android 2.3, or at least 4.0/SDK-14, and up still.

The build has been pushed to Google Play, and is available as an APK for direct download. We will update our F-Droid repository shortly, as always.
