Ah I see. :-) Then I wrongly thought you might have missed the new major version, when I saw that new package versions got released from the old major branch :-D > The user interface > basically now looks like a scaled up phone app on the desktop which I > consider > a huge step back. Yeah,... I don't know why so many people think that smartphone UIs are the way to go I mean smartphones and their UI style do have their fixed place in the world, but one cannot really professionally work with them. > Overall, there is no urgent need to update to version 2.x right now, > so I rather > want to take my time to come up with a proper transition plan with > the potential > prospect of a better user interface. Absolutely fine :-) How's your contact with upstream? Few week ago I wrote upstream about that still annoying # . But I was told quite quickly in an automated-reply fashion, that there is no Linux support. Cheers, Chris.

I am naturally aware of the new release because I am in direct contact with one of the upstream maintainers. The withheld update to 2.x is intentional for two reasons. First, the new version introduces a completely new user interface with features removed such as the integrated list of service providers. The user interface basically now looks like a scaled up phone app on the desktop which I consider a huge step back. And, secondly, the change of name of the binary package will result in the package being stuck in NEW for a while which is why I backported the two fixes for Qt 6.6 compatibility first to make sure the app doesn't break once Qt 6.6 is uploaded to unstable (it's currently in experimental). Overall, there is no urgent need to update to version 2.x right now, so I rather want to take my time to come up with a proper transition plan with the potential prospect of a better user interface.

Package: ausweisapp2 Version: 1.26.7-2 Severity: wishlist Hey. A new upstream major version (2.x) is out, and they've apparently also rebranded it back to just "AusweisApp" (i.e. no longer a 2 in the name). Cheers, Chris.
