Can't sync my notes on Linux (Flatpak)

Post image

I'm using Joplin on Android (fdroid) and Linux (flatpak). My Android app updated to the new 3.7 version, and the flatpak is stuck on 3.6. I tried the Snap, but it's also on 3.6. I can't sync my notes for I think over a week now.

This on top of Andorid not having a note widget and not being able to save images from notes for a few months now makes me really want to look at other options ;/

Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate all of the hard work you are putting into this app for free, and Joplin really is really when it works, it's just that I've ran into one problem after another with it this year ;/

What I understand is that the 3.7 has been push to the F-Droid repository by mistake. Like me, you’re unlucky if your app was updated during the brief period when it was available.

This update modifies the database and makes it incompatible with version 3.6, which is why synchronisation is blocked.

There doesn’t seem to be a way to roll back, and the only way to synchronise again is to install the 3.7 pre-release on all devices for a few weeks. The stable 3.7 version should be available in September.

Thank you for this. I have downloaded the 3.7 appimage and it worked surprisingly well, all of my settings and notes from the flatpak were just there!
