In this cold weather, we hope this new release candidate will warm your hearts. Let’s celebrate this with our own awards ceremony:
- The most next-gen addition goes to… making Fractal OIDC aware. This ensures compatibility with the upcoming authentication changes for matrix.org.
- The most valuable fix goes to… showing consistently pills for users and rooms mentions in the right place instead of seemingly random places, getting rid of one of our oldest and most annoying bug.
- The most sensible improvement goes to… using the send queue for attachments, ensuring correct order of all messages and improving the visual feedback.
- The most underrated feature goes to… allowing to react to stickers, fixing a crash in the process.
- The most obvious tweak goes to… removing the “Open Direct Chat” menu entry from avatar menu and member profile in direct chats.
- The clearest enhancement goes to… labelling experimental versions in the room upgrade menu as such.
As usual, this release includes other improvements, fixes and new translations thanks to all our contributors, and our upstream projects.
As the version implies, it should be mostly stable and we expect to only include minor improvements until the release of Fractal 10.
