I'm sorry that the version update has slipped. The version is always
available at GitHub:

https://github.com/GEANT/CAT-Android/tree/master/bin_unsigned

Writing this mail is all the formality you need :-)

We'll change the apk to the 1.1.44 version as a hotfix to CAT 1.1 as
soon as time of the devops team permits.

Out of curiosity: how do you handle the fact that your users will have
to turn on "Allow installation from unknown sources"? I would imagine
you get some amount of user complaints for having to do that - it is a
complex configuration task in itself, and comes with somewhat
intentionally frightening UI messages.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
