The version in the official F-Droid repositories comes without the proprietary libraries for push notifications.
This might lead to increased battery drain and a higher delay for delivering messages.
If you are looking for a version with push notification support, you can get it from [my F-Droid repository ](https://s2.spiritcroc.de/fdroid/repo/ ).
The latest version should also be available for direct download [here ](https://s2.spiritcroc.de/fdroid/SchildiChat.apk ).
