Thank you for using Jami!

The Jami package in the official F-Droid repository has finally been
updated to the latest release (version 20201222-01).  That said, even
though Jami is up-to-date on F-Droid again and I'm hoping it will
continue to receive updates as usual, I still plan on setting up our own
repo in case we run into similar prolonged issues with building Jami on
the official F-Droid build servers for their official repo.

Many thanks to the F-Droid developers for giving me access to one of
their community build servers so I could try and debug the build
failures of Jami there.
