Notes
We bumped the required mtxclient version to 0.9.0 and the required coeurl
version to 0.3.0. Supported Matrix API versions are now 1.1 to 1.5.
Nheko now also uses the particles qml module.
Downloads
We provide an installer for Windows as well as a "portable" variant, that won't be able to open matrix: links from your browser.
For Linux we provide flatpaks, however usually you should download them from Flathub. There is also an AppImage, but that does not support voice calls and in general will have some limitations. In any case, distro packages usually are the best option if they are up to date.
For macOS we now provide separate builds for apple silicon and intel macs. If you are packaging these, you might need to adapt your download paths!
