When we are done building it. We don't commit to release dates.

By the way, what about releases with translation-only changes? I've done some new dialogs on weblate-RU, but not 100% yet...

Indeed, I already had in mind to create such a translation release between releases with content, when there are enough new translations added.

F-Droid release is on the way just waiting on them: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/ ... 7a3bdf7ec8

Someone on the dev team mentioned they had some build server issues I think?
Yeah that's right, but they were solved around Feb 16 acc. to an earlier post in this thread. So I thought I ask again 🙃
Thanks anyway!
Yeah, I should not have posted that optimistically - sorry! I'd been guessing that the new version would be picked up quickly after we got the notice that F-Droid's build issues were fixed (this thread).

The F-Droid build process is somewhat opaque. As I understand it, it works like this:
  1. An app developer pushes a release tag to their app source code repository.
  2. F-Droid's checkupdates bot runs an automated scan to find new release tags, and updates the app's F-Droid metadata file accordingly.
  3. F-Droid's build server reads updated metadata files and generates the unsigned packaged release.
  4. Built packages are taken to an offline computer to be signed by F-Droid's key.
  5. Signed packages are brought back online and deployed to F-Droid's public repository.
Usually (as with the last 5 releases of AT), the dev team here controls step 1, and then F-Droid crunches through steps 2-5 within 48 hours or so. However, in this case:
  1. Nut pushed the v0.7.13 tag for AT on February 7th.
  2. F-Droid's bot updated AT's metadata for v0.7.13 on February 15th.
  3. AT's v0.7.13 package has not yet been built.
We're not alone in this. For example, another game I play from F-Droid's repository (a word puzzle game called Lexica) tagged a new release on February 5th, but their build was only published on March 1st. F-Droid doesn't offer insight into how the build queue is ordered, so there's not much to do on our side but wait (as unsatisfying as that can feel sometimes :) ).
Thanks for all your explanations! Via the app "F-Droid Build status" I see a failed build as of Mar-8 with the last lines being

Even if we knew for sure what would be next, which we don't. We have several projects in the pipeline.

I haven't even thought about him. I have 3 great quest ideas percolating right now in my head.

You are more than welcome to build a quest.
