Group E2EE Week
- 👥 Private group E2EE encryption*
- 🌐 Create public and private groups - w/ photos
- 💁🏻♂️ User Profiles (both quick view and fullscreen
- 💌 Invite users to any joined room
- ✅ Mark all messages read (locally or remotely)
- 🛠 Tons of code refactoring to help dev and performance
- 🔮 A lot more (new fonts, colors, etc)
Summary:
Group E2EE is now working! There's tons of other features to hopefully make the user experience more complete. From viewing profiles to invites subtle animations, I'm hoping this is the first big leap and solid foundation for the rest of the version 0.1.x updates.
Up Next:
- Bug Fixes in general
- Cross Signing + Verification
- Key Imports/Exports
- Major performance improvements by switching caching/cold-storage to sembast and sqlcipher
Group E2EE Known Issues*:
- Currently a bug exists where if you've previously sent encrypted messages through a direct chat to users device, they cannot get keys to decrypt a group chat. A fix for this should be out soon. I know how to fix it but am going through a move 🚚
- Sometimes Matrix finishes sending the first group E2EE message before it sends the pre-key message to decrypt it. I'll be adding user feedback to show this and fixing it with a small poll session for first messages in group chats.
