Android Telegram Source v5.9 has been released
Telegram-FOSS should follow quickly as usual. The biggest delay is in the source release, and after that, the F-Droid build process.
Changelog
No sign of server or TGX sources yet. No sign of Telegram caring about E2E (secret chats) either as Telegram Desktop still doesn't have it. (Only the Mac client that's made by another developer.)

If you would like to see your client of choice here, please feel free to contact me. It should respect the user's privacy and be stable enough for real usage. All platforms are welcome.
Here's a poll regarding the notifications about Android TG-FOSS. The maintainers are doing a great job at quickly updating after source release, but F-Droid takes considerable time to build. It is available as an apk file directly from their repository much earlier.
Please note that you cannot cross-update, as the signatures differ. You could always reinstall of course, but that will make all your open E2E ("secret") chats inaccessible.

The sourcecode.. you guessed it.. has not. How hard is it to include source with release, really?
This release fixes this flaw that has been pointed out recently. So don't forget to go to your privacy settings and set Who Can Find Me By My Number to My Contacts.
The other changes are mostly cosmetic except for the new scheduled messages/reminders. We want proper multi-session E2E support on all operating systems. When will Telegram care about that? Do we need more giant animated emojis? What do you think?
Changelog:
- Hold the 'Send' button to schedule messages in any chat and reminders in 'Saved Messages'.
- Customize your app's appearance by choosing accent colors for the 'Mono' and 'Dark' themes.
- Create new themes based on your color and wallpaper choices.
- Share your themes via links and update them for all users when you change something.
- Choose who can find you on Telegram by your phone number.
- Send a single 😁, 😧, 😡, 💩, 😢 or 😮 to get more animated emoji.
