Obtainium

• Improved version detection for Apps where a "standard" version name is provided by the Source (#132).
• Current version is now displayed in the Apps list even for Apps with updates available (#135).
• Added download notifications (#13).

Bugfixes for (#119 and #44).

• Adds "Track-Only" support as an option for all Sources (#119)
• Re-adds APKMirror as a "Track-Only" Source (#44).
• Adds a search bar to the Add App page for Sources that support search (#128).

• A previous release caused the "Update All" or "Install All" buttons to not work.

The logs dialog now lets you pick the maximum age of displayed logs - between 1 and 7 days - (#117).

• F-Droid and IzzyOnDroid no longer rely on web scraping (#114)
• If an App ID can be inferred without downloading its APK (as is the case for F-Droid and IzzyOnDroid), it is no longer downloaded when being added, leading to much faster App adding (APK is now downloaded when the user chooses to install it).

• More efficient APK usage (#113)
• Better GitHub error messages (and general HTTP error messages) (#112)
• More efficient App loading (#110)

Added basic logging (#71)

• For now, only the background update task produces logs.
• Any errors shown to the user will also produce logs.
• More log messages can be added in the future.
• All logs older than 7 days are cleared periodically.
• Logs can be viewed and shared from the settings screen.

• Added App descriptions in the URL selection menu when importing Apps through GitHub search and GitHub stars - #40.
• Added a "Reset Install Status" button on the Apps page (in the "More" overflow menu). This is a workaround for #99 until a better solution is found.
• Downgrading Apps is no longer blocked if the user has the "Let-Me-Downgrade" App installed (it is assumed that if the App is installed, then it works - we don't actually check for root) - #107.

• Added basic GitHub search (#40).
  • Does not filter out non-Android Apps as this would take too long and cause rate limit errors, this is left to the user.
  • Only the Author/Name is shown in the result; in the future, this could be expanded with a description for Apps that provide it.
• Added 'pin to top' option on the Apps page (#56).
• Slightly nicer app icon.

• Fixed issues with Apps failing to install due to old-style App IDs. This would happen with Apps that were first added in older versions of Obtainium (before v0.6.0).
  • This issue also broke the ability to import Apps by URL or GitHub stars.
• Also adds a note informing users that Apps imported by URL or third-party methods (like GitHub stars) will show up as 'Not Installed' even if they are installed, and that this is fixed by re-installing them through Obtainium.

Fixes #104 and one other UI bug.

• Fixed bug in GitHub regex filtering caused by recent change (#20).
• Update notifications now get cancelled when an App is installed as this likely means the user has seen it already (#101).
  • Ideally, update notifications should only be cancelled if the Apps being installed are the actual Apps mentioned in the notification, but there is no way to get his info from the notification (see https://github.com/MaikuB/flutter_local_notifications/issues/1700), so the compromise is to just get rid of all update notifications when any app at all is installed or updated.
