Fractal

Barely 2 months after Fractal 5, we feel there have been enough improvements to grant a new stable release. You have probably noticed that we have adopted a version scheme similar to GNOME and will bump the major version with each new release.The list of goodies:<ul><li>Fractal can open Matrix URIs, it is even registered as a handler for the “matrix” scheme</li><li>The verification flow was rewritten, hopefully solving most verification issues</li><li>Room members can be kicked, banned or ignored from their profile</li><li>More notifications settings, global or per-room, were added</li><li>Times follow the format (12h or 24h) from the system settings</li><li>Tab auto-completion also works for mentioning public rooms, just start your query with “#”</li></ul>This version is fully translated into 6 languages 🙌️ and we hope to get even more 📈 for the next one! Head over to Damned Lies if you want to give a hand.We would also like to thank our new and returning contributors and our upstream projects.

Fractal 5 is a full rewrite compared to Fractal 4, that now leverages GTK 4, libadwaita, and the Matrix Rust SDK. The two-and-a-half-year effort brings a new interface that fits all screens, big 🖥️ or small 📱, but should still look familiar to users of earlier versions.It still offers the same old features you know and love, with a few additions. Highlights (&lt;em&gt;italics&lt;/em&gt; is new✨ in 5):<ul><li>Find rooms to discuss your favorite topics, or talk privately to people, securely thanks to &lt;em&gt;end-to-end encryption&lt;/em&gt;</li><li>Send rich formatted messages, files, or &lt;em&gt;your current location&lt;/em&gt;</li><li>&lt;em&gt;Reply&lt;/em&gt; to specific messages, &lt;em&gt;react&lt;/em&gt; with emoji, &lt;em&gt;edit&lt;/em&gt; or remove messages</li><li>View images, and play audio and video directly in the conversation</li><li>See &lt;em&gt;who has read messages&lt;/em&gt;, and who is typing</li><li>Log into &lt;em&gt;multiple accounts&lt;/em&gt; at once (with &lt;em&gt;Single-Sign On&lt;/em&gt; support)</li></ul>
