F-Droid: standby for the next repo build!

***

Orbot is now built upon the latest "in process" tor-android work done by 
Hans available at:

https://gitlab.com/guardianproject/tor-android/-/tags/0.4.5.9

and https://gitlab.com/guardianproject/torservices/

This allows anyone to easily build in Tor to their app or to utilize the 
new "headless" TorServices app dependency.


All of the Pluggable Transport support is now done through tladesignz's 
(Benjamin E) IPtProxy:

https://github.com/tladesignz/IPtProxy

This is a one-stop shop mobile optimized library for Android and iOS, 
that supports all current production PT's like Obfs4, Meek and 
Snowflake, built on the work done by the Tor Project anti-censorship team.

Happy weekend all.
