NewPipe 0.24.1 released: Et tu, channels?!
05 Nov 2022, by @Opusforlife and @Poolitzer
So, YouTube channel videos up and vanished, and even refreshing the feed didn’t get them back. That’s never a good sign, so we went looking for them and found the slippery little things. Make sure you tie them properly to the fence next time. Put the bell icon around their necks. Might help, or so we’ve heard from several popular YouTubers ad nauseam.

Hey peeps. We’re dropping support for Android KitKat, and bumping the minimum supported version to Lollipop, as was announced on the repo months ago.
NewPipe 0.23.1 released: DASH to the finish line!

Yeah yeah, we get it. You don’t need to scream yourself hoarse. This release is just as late as the previous one. But we have great news! Playing videos will now be smooth again!
An overdue announcement about NewPipe-Legacy being archived
07 May 2022, by Team NewPipe
The gist: NewPipe-Legacy isn’t maintained anymore (since January 2021, actually). The team is hoping for a developer to step up and become a permanent maintainer for the Legacy version. This means that you, the user, either need to switch to a device with a newer OS so that you can use NewPipe, or to an alternative app that supports your Android version. At least for the time being.
