This one is packed with lots of small changes, that make for an even better experience.
-
Call rooms are identified with a camera icon in the sidebar and show a banner to warn
that other users might not read messages in these rooms.
-
Calls are rendered in the timeline and incoming calls trigger a notification. We still
don’t support calls, but at least now you know when someone is calling and can open
another client to answer.
-
While we still support signing in via SSO, we have dropped support for identity
providers, to simplify our code and a have a closer experience to signing in with OAuth
2.0.
-
The sidebar room filter has been improved: Enter goes to first room result, and there’s
an empty state when no results match the term.
-
The performance of the room list has also been improved, it should be mostly noticeable
for accounts that have joined a lot of rooms.
-
Informative events (Unable to decrypt, server notices…) are now styled differently to
reflect their special nature and differentiate them from regular text messages that
anyone can send.
-
Sending files & location is properly disabled while editing/replying, as it doesn’t
work anyway.
As usual, this release includes other improvements and fixes thanks to all our
contributors, and our upstream projects.
We want to address special thanks to the translators who worked on this version. We know
this is a huge undertaking and have a deep appreciation for what you’ve done.
