Let’s see the main improvements:
- Mentions are sent intentionally
- Authenticated media are supported
- Draft messages are kept per-room and persisted across restarts
- More links are detected in messages and room descriptions
- Collapsed categories in the sidebar are remembered between restarts, with the “Historical” category collapsed by default
- A banner appears when synchronization with the homeserver fails too many times in a row
- The verification and account recovery processes have been polished
- HTML rendering has been improved, with the support of new elements and attributes
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.
