Oh, nice. I see it's on F-Droid, which is worth mentioning. My own phone is set up for F-Droid only; no Google.

Not only is the new stable there, cketti has been posting all of the betas leading up to this on F-Droid for quite awhile. :) You have to manually look once in awhile in the F-Droid client for newer beta builds to opt into using.

Unfortunately 5.800 is not yet on F-Droid. I am looking forward to it.

F-Droid builds in batches, about 3 days per batch (see monitor.f-droid.org). All the APKs are signed at once and published together so it should show up soon. Per the dev, the last beta is essentially what became the stable release so you could start today and just upgrade in a bit.

The only change between 5.740 (available on F-Droid right now) and 5.800 are updated translations.

The betas have been great indeed!

You can enable the 'Unstable updates' option in F-Droid's settings to receive notifications for new beta versions to avoid having to check manually. The downside is that you'll receive these updates for all apps, so be sure to check if a new version is a beta version for apps that you want to keep on stable versions.
