#RethinkDNS has been crashing constantly since today. Resetting and reconfiguring my Android VPN settings does not help. Restarting my phone does not help either. I have version v0.5.5t from F-Droid, there has been no update, and there is no newer version available there. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

Update: Somehow I managed to start the App in "Stopped" mode, made a backup, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, restored the backup and it works again.

@flxtr v055t has a severe bug that corrupts the "app details" database. We've since fixed it for v055u, but that version has other problems.

v055v is the upcoming version, which is ready for a release since Jan 3rd week, but both the lead developers are on leave until 18 Feb, which is why v055v has been delayed for the time it has.

@rdns Thanks for the explanation! Now it's clear why it keeps happening when I reinstall and restore the backup.

Will v055v also be released via F-Droid soon? v055u is somehow not available there.

Until then: is there a version prior to v055t that has fewer problems?

@flxtr v055n is the last stable version.

And v055v should be available on F-Droid. There may be problems we don't forsee right now, but the expectation is that it'll be released on F-Droid, too (unlike v055u which had build issues specific to the F-Droid flavour on our end).
