Added
- Added provisioning API for checking if a phone number is registered on Signal

- Added join rule bridging in both directions (thanks to @maltee1 in #268).
- Added Matrix -> Signal bridging of location messages (thanks to @maltee1 in #287).

- Added config option to auto-enable relay mode when a specific user is invited (thanks to @maltee1 in #293).
- Added options to make encryption more secure.
- The
encryption->verification_levelsconfig options can be used to make the bridge require encrypted messages to come from cross-signed devices, with trust-on-first-use validation of the cross-signing master key. - The
encryption->requireoption can be used to make the bridge ignore any unencrypted messages. - Key rotation settings can be configured with the
encryption->rotationconfig.
- The
Improved
- Improved/fixed handling of disappearing message timer changes.
- Improved handling profile/contact names and prevented them from being downgraded (switching from profile name to contact name or phone number).
- Updated contact list provisioning API to not block if signald needs to update profiles.
- Trying to start a direct chat with a non-existent phone number will now reply with a proper error message instead of throwing an exception (thanks to @maltee1 in #265).
- Syncing chat members will no longer be interrupted if one of the member profiles is unavailable (thanks to [@maltee1] in [#270]).
- Group metadata changes are now bridged based on the event itself rather than resyncing the whole group, which means changes will use the correct ghost user instead of always using the bridge bot (thanks to @maltee1 in #283).
- Added proper captcha error handling when registering (thanks to @maltee1 in #280).
- Added user's phone number as topic in private chat portals (thanks to @maltee1 in #282).
