Hey FrostWire fans! 🎉

It's mid-October, and as the leaves change colors and the air becomes crisp, we're stoked to bring you some fresh updates to your favorite Android app. We've just rolled out FrostWire 2.7.3 build 723, and here's the scoop on what's new and improved.

Bug Fixes and Better User Experience 🐞

First off, we heard you loud and clear. Some of our users pointed out that they had issues with their Play Store Ad-removal subscriptions not reflecting locally. Fret not, we've squashed that bug! Your ad-free experience should now be smoother than ever.

Library Updates 📚

A slew of our underlying libraries have been updated to their latest and greatest versions. This isn't just tech jargon; these updates ensure that your app runs faster, smoother, and more securely. Here are a few highlights: - Gson Library now at version 2.10.1, ensuring seamless data transitions. - Google Services have been upgraded to 4.4.0. - Crashlytics from Firebase, at 2.9.9, will keep tabs on any issues so we can tackle them swiftly. - A boost in Material Design with com.google.android.material at 1.10.0 brings subtle and pleasing design refinements. - For our Kotlin aficionados, we've moved up to kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:1.9.10. - We also got the latest yt_dlp 2023.10.13 for Python, ensuring you get the best video download experience.

Developer Sweet Treats 🛠

For the developers in our midst or those curious about the nuts and bolts that make FrostWire tick, we've undertaken some backend spring cleaning: - Deprecated elements in our Gradle build script have been fixed, making our development process more streamlined. - We've updated our Gradle build tooling to com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.1.2 and using gradle-8.4-bin.zip. - Last but not least, our Firebase library got a boost with firebase-bom:32.3.1.

That's a wrap for this update! As always, our team has been working diligently to enhance your FrostWire experience. Download the update, give it a spin, and let us know what you think. Your feedback fuels our fire, and we can't wait to hear from you.
