We updated Tella FOSS, the version of Tella published on F-Droid that is 100% Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS). This updated version includes open-source map, location provider and Camera libraries. It doesn't include crashlytics, LoggingInterceptor and any other non-FOSS component or dependency.
This version is based on Tella Android 2.20.0 and includes the following features:
- Big refactor (including adding product flavors) to be able to merge Tella Android and Tella FOSS codebases into a single one.
- Implemented the Nextcloud server connection that allows Tella users to upload the data they collect directly to Nextcloud. Read more here about the connection.
- New Languages support: Bengali, Ndau, Azerbaijani, Chinese, Mizo
- Improved document support:
- Added thumbnail placeholders for document files.
- Display all common document types in the Documents folder (e.g., TXT, ODT, DOC, DOCX, XLS, etc.).
- Uwazi connection:
- Changed algorithm for generated id property, to match the one generated by Uwazi.
- Added added lock-protection guidance for new users (in on-boarding) and while changing lock.
- Improvements to the Tella Web connection to increase resilience against intermittent and slow connectivity
- Multiple bug fixes and minor improvements, prioritizing stability and accessibility.
