The update is out and it works as good as new!
This is a good time to remind folks how important it is to donate to projects like this.
Thank you, NewPipeTeam!
EDIT: Updates to the default F-Droid repository take some time. For immediate updates:
- Download and install the APK from the GitHub release link: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/releases/tag/v0.28.2
- (Preferred) You can add the NewPipe F-Droid repository to your F-Droid client. They immediately post updates to their own repo before it makes it to the default repo. For this reason, I was able to update NewPipe via F-Droid right away. Here’s the instruction link: https://newpipe.net/FAQ/tutorials/install-add-fdroid-repo/
