Everything started with a +(now archived) [forum post][1] in January 2016 that documented the initial +efforts to get Replicant 6.0 somehow working on a Galaxy S3. Development +continued through the first half of 2016, however by far most of the work was +done from September 2016 onwards. + +Replicant 4.2, the last release, was based on CyanogenMod 10.1 and Android 4.2 +respectively. Replicant 6.0 is based on LineageOS 13.0 which is based on +Android 6.0. Replicant 6.0 includes all the improvements that were made since +CyanogenMod 10.1. Have a look at the [changelog][2] for an overview of the new +features and changes that were additionally made on our side. + +This initial release supports the [Galaxy S2][3], [Galaxy S3][4] and [Galaxy +Note 2][5]. The [Galaxy S3 4G][6] was added as an incomplete device for now as +support for telephony and mobile data is missing. The [status page][7] shows +which functionalities are supported on the individual devices. The [previous +blog post][8] details the reasons why no SDK is provided as part of the +release. + +Unfortunately, this release only supports a subset of the devices that were +previously supported by Replicant 4.2. So adding support for more devices has +the highest priority for the next update. Thanks to device donations from the +community, it will be possible to get Replicant 6.0 working on the GTA04, +Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and Galaxy Note. Please +consider [donating to Replicant][9] to help development. + +As an additional release goal, a complete wiki overhaul was completed over the +last two months. Besides updating outdated pages and a general cleanup, a lot +of new documentation is now available for users and developers alike. We hope +the new release will attract more developers, so that we can tackle some of +the [tasks][10] we have been facing for a long time. + + [1]: <https://redmine.replicant.us/boards/21/topics/13985> + + [2]: +<https://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/replicant/images/replicant-6.0/0001/metadata/changelog.txt> + + [3]: <https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/GalaxyS2I9100> + + [4]: <https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/GalaxyS3I9300> + + [5]: +<https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/GalaxyNote2N7100> + + [6]: <https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/GalaxyS3I9305> + + [7]: +<https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/ReplicantStatus#Replicant-60> + + [8]: <https://blog.replicant.us/2017/04/there-wont-be-a-replicant-6-0-sdk- +because-there-is-already-something-better/> + + [9]: <https://crm.fsf.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=19> + + [10]: <https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/Tasks> + + |
