Most updates don’t work without removing and adding the account. However, sometimes there are basic changes and at the current stage of development, I don’t think it makes sense to put work into compability with older releases.
Add a changelog in the release page on github

Hi
Currently, there isn’t a simple way to see the changes to your program. You should use the github release page for it. An example of what it can look :
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/releasesYamakaky
-
What do you mean? Changes are already listed in the tags, i.e. the Releases page of DAVdroid. It’s even linked from the Fdroid description
-
In the example @Yamakaky gave the changes are visible directly from the releases page.
I am not sure how it is done. Maybe using the RELEASE_NOTES file https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/v0.6.2/RELEASE_NOTES
I could not find the github documentation for that feature.

Release notes can be edited in the Github GUI on https://github.com/bitfireAT/davdroid/tags. Would be interesting if they could be added via a RELEASE_NOTES file. Otherwise, all release info would stay at Github and not be reproducible if DAVdroid would move to another service.

Thansk for the pointer @rfc2822. I did not know this github feature.
A solution would be to have a RELEASE_NOTES or Changelog or History (or whatever) file and copy-paste the head of it in github release notes. So the data is not locked in github only.
-
Oh, sorry, I didn’t see that in the release page, the release comments are hidden by default ^^
-
In the F-Droid app on Android, there’s a link to the changelog page at https://github.com/bitfireAT/davdroid/releases, which opens that page listing each new version with, currently, no information. It would be nice, in principle, to have a brief description of changes there.

Until now, I was too lazy for that. Maybe we will introduce this file. Until then, please stick with the release comments in the tag notes.

The releases are built from the version tag by Github, as soon as one “drafts a new release”. I’ll do so in future and add the signed APK as a binary, too (for archiving purposes).
