Those of you who use the #Deutschlandticket are likely affected in 2.41.0 - 2.41.2. And scanning a Deutschlandticket with your camera or from a PDF file (not using a .pkpass file) will likely not work correctly.

The current workaround for both cases is to manually set the "Barcode encoding" field in the card setting to "ISO-8859-1".

Not currently sure how to fix scanning Deutschlandtickets with the camera without breaking the issue 2.41.0 was meant to fix by adding barcode encoding support :(

I decided to just quickly release 2.41.4 and disable the automatic barcode encoding detection for now. Breaking Deutschlandticket is definitely one of the worst things that could have happened and I don't want people to get stranded in Germany.

I've asked @IzzyOnDroid and linsui (from @fdroidorg) to get this release out more quickly if possible: https://github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Android/discussions/2942#discussioncomment-15409445

Coming soon to an app store near you.
