**Note for F-Droid Users**
Unfortunately TEdit will no longer receive updates through F-Droid. Updates will still be provided through this website, Google Play and the Amazon App Store. Nothing has changed with TEdit, it is still ad free and tracker free. This change is due to the way I was treated on the F-Droid forum by forum patrons and F-Droid staff. I felt that I was treated very poorly and that some of the staff even exhibited racist behavior. As a result I'd rather not associate with the folks over at F-Droid.

Changelog:

3.1.1

• Fixed a rare bug that could cause unexpected behavior in the Browser.

3.1.0

• TEdit now utilizes all available processor cores when loading directory content. Directories containing many files should load much faster now, depending on the executing device.
• Fixed a bug that would cause TEdit to stop responding when changing directories in the Browser view while the file list was scrolling.
• My new Android 14 device exhibits significant scroll stutter in TEdit's file browser while my older Android 12 device does not, despite the newer device sporting a marginally faster processor and storage. Jenny's Android 14 devices have the same problem. The culprit is Android's DocumentFile.getName() method which seems to take a lot longer to return than it did in Android 12. Being as how this method is called whenever a file is displayed in TEdit's file browser this caused scroll stutter. Filenames in Browser views are now loaded in a seperate thread preventing the slow to return DocumentFile.getName() method from causing scroll stutter.
