RocketChat/Rocket.Chat 8.4.0-rc.0 on GitHub

Engine versions

Node: 22.16.0
Deno: 2.3.1
MongoDB: 8.0
Apps-Engine: 1.62.0-rc.0

Minor Changes

(#40181) Adds file thumbnails with image preview to the message composer attachments
(#40141) Adds a new REST endpoint to accept or reject media calls without an active media session
(#39535) Adds externalIds field to livechat visitors for external platform identification.
(#40160) Adds a skipTranspile flag (default false) to webhook integrations. When set to true, the integration script is stored as-is without Babel transpilation — matching the 9.0.0 default where Babel is removed entirely. Admins can flip the flag per-integration to validate strict-mode compatibility before upgrading. The field is deprecated and will be removed in 9.0.0.
(#39495) Updates omnichannel routing so agents with offline status are always excluded from assignment. The Livechat_enabled_when_agent_idle setting now only affects agents with away status.
(#40093) Adds new API endpoints to load the user's current voice call state from the server
(#40096) Introduces redaction of potentially sensitive data in logs related to apps-engine
(#39989) Adds email search filter to users.list and users.info endpoints.
(#39845) Adds support for setting up Virtru as a PDP (Policy Decision Point) for ABAC.
(#38623 by @copilot-swe-agent) Introduces Cold Storage Archiving for Read Receipts to improve performance and scalability in large deployments.
Enterprise workspaces can now archive older read receipts into a dedicated cold storage collection, reducing the size of the primary read receipts dataset and improving query performance in environments with high message volumes.
This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled through the new setting:
Message → Read Receipts → Enable Read Receipts Cold Storage
This feature is especially recommended for deployments with high message throughput and long data retention requirements, where reducing the size of hot collections significantly improves overall system responsiveness.
(#39393 by @copilot-swe-agent) Added auto-wrap selected text in composer with matching delimiters
(#40075) Adds alternative text field to image uploads to improve accessibility
