      It is, I've been unable to login for almost two days using Jerboa. I managed on desktop and seeing updates were on the way, I installed Boost (what I'm using to reply right now!). Jerboa is still dead for me though, and I expect others may also run into issues.

        The latest Jerboa version does work (Jerboa 0.0.54), but it seems it is not yet on F-Droid. You can get it directly from the github release page, or, as someone else suggested, using Obtainium.

        For future updates, especially if they are as large as this one, it will probably be better if I make an announcement a few days before the update is expected so that users are not caught by surprise.

          That's a good idea with the pre-update announcement, thanks for taking care of us Sal!

          Thanks for the heads up about Jerboa but, for the moment, I'm happy with my new toy Boost! Cheers

      Mobile apps seem to struggle a bit. Eternity didn't allow me to interact before I logged out and in again and Jerboa doesn't allow me to log in at all. But that's to be expected with such a big update!

          I'm using 0.0.52, the latest version on F-Droid, and when logging in it returns "Illegal input". I'm not entirely sure whether it's 0.19.0 that is causing it though, since it's the first time I use Jerboa in a while, but lemm.ee works and they haven't updated so I directly assumed that it was that (bad science, I know).
