For those who download Barinsta from GitHub:
Sentry will be included in all future releases in order to catch errors for us.
It is by default disabled. You can enable it in Settings, and by doing so, you agree to their Privacy Policy. We will not send more data than what is present on current crash dumps.
This has no effect to users who download Barinsta from F-Droid since Sentry is banned from F-Droid builds. You will still have the option to email the crash dump to GitHub Issues.

There is bad news and good news. This is not April Fools, this is serious.
The bad news is that Android Studio lost my signing key, so everyone who uses the GitHub version must uninstall before update. If you have a rooted phone, are affected by the launching issue and cannot backup normally, please ask me for backup procedure. If you don't have a rooted phone, sadly you cannot backup your settings. (F-Droid users are unaffected.)
Moving on, users are generally recommended to use F-Droid builds and, in the future, Google Play builds.
The good news is that we now offer nightly GitHub builds at @BarinstaBuilds.

Two things:
1. v19.2.2 will be delayed for F-Droid due to an issue on their side, which affects some other apps as well, and I will communicate to them.
2. A reminder to not download any unauthorized copies of Barinsta on Google Play. Please continue to report those as you see them.

They did a cease & desist on us. We're done. Thank you for your continued support. See the letter.

Cease and Desist of Facebook and Instagram - Barinsta · Issue #2 · austinhuang0131/austinhuang0131
Sent by Gallego, Gabriella (Perkins Coie) (GGallego@perkinscoie.com). Created by fire. Dear Mr. Huang, Please open, read, and respond to the attached letter on behalf of Facebook, Inc. Thank you. G...
Hello,
At approximately 21:33 UTC July 26 2021, I have been hit with a cease & desist letter from a law firm repsenting Facebook. The letter was sent to one of my personal email address as well as Barinsta's public inbox (and as a result, it is published). In response, the source code has been taken down, and all promotional materials within my control has been adjusted to reflect the fact.
We will still try to get as much resources as we could to navigate in this crisis. At this dire moment, I ask you to do 1 thing: Please let others know what is happening here.
It has been an honour of a lifetime to serve as one of the main contributors of Barinsta. I am forever grateful for the countless supporters along the way.
Thank you & Best Regards,
Austin Huang

At this point you should all be aware of Inst*gram's malicious practices. Now, encourage others to move to the FOSS fediverse (ie. Pixelfed, Mastodon, etc.)!
Our sincerest condolences to the Vanced project.
