How are you going to find your friends and coordinate end of day drinks when you’re lost in the middle of a large crowd in a big city? With the new version of your favorite Matrix client, of course! Here is Fractal 10.
- The QR code scanning code has been ported to libaperture, the library behind GNOME Camera. This should result in better performance and more reliability.
- OAuth 2.0 compatibility was added, to make sure that we are ready for the upcoming authentication changes for matrix.org.
- Pills for users and rooms mentions show consistently in the right place instead of seemingly random places, getting rid of one of our oldest and most annoying bug.
- Attachments go through the send queue, ensuring correct order of all messages and improving the visual feedback.
- Videos were often not playing after loading in the room history. This was fixed, and we also show properly when an error occurred.
- We were downloading too many different sizes for avatar images, which would fill the media cache needlessly. We now only download a couple of sizes. This has the extra benefit of fixing blurry or missing thumbnails in notifications.
As usual, this release includes other improvements and fixes thanks to all our contributors, and our upstream projects.
We want to address special thanks to the translators who worked on this version. We know this is a huge undertaking and have a deep appreciation for what you’ve done. If you want to help with this effort, head over to Damned Lies.
