No significant changes since 1.152.0rc1.
For deployments using workers, please note that this version introduces a new
quarantined_media_changesstream writer, which may require configuration changes.Please see the the relevant section in the upgrade notes for details.
Without configuring this new stream writer, only the main process will be able to handle the
/media/quarantineadmin API endpoints for quarantining media.
This package only provides the Matrix backend. A variety of clients are available here. Riot is a popular web frontend for Matrix and is available as a separate app.
About
Matrix is an ambitious new ecosystem for open federated Instant Messaging and VoIP.
Matrix specifies a set of pragmatic RESTful HTTP JSON APIs as an open standard, which handle:
- Creating and managing fully distributed chat rooms with no single points of control or failure
- Eventually-consistent cryptographically secure synchronisation of room state across a global open network of federated servers and services
- Sending and receiving extensible messages in a room with (optional) end-to-end encryption[1]
- Inviting, joining, leaving, kicking, banning room members
- Managing user accounts (registration, login, logout)
- Using 3rd Party IDs (3PIDs) such as email addresses, phone numbers, Facebook accounts to authenticate, identify and discover users on Matrix.
- Placing 1:1 VoIP and Video calls
