This release candidate comes with a fair amount of quality of life improvements:
- The sidebar room filter has been improved: Enter goes to first room result, and there’s an empty state when no results match the term.
- The performance of the room list has also been improved, it should be mostly noticeable for accounts that have joined a lot of rooms.
- Informative events (
Unable to decrypt, server notices…) are now styled differently to reflect their special nature and differentiate them from regular text messages that anyone can send. - Calls are rendered in the timeline and incoming calls trigger a notification. We still don’t support calls, but at least now you know when someone is calling and can open another client to answer.
As usual, this release includes other improvements, fixes and new translations thanks to all our contributors, and our upstream projects.
It is available to install via Flathub Beta, see the instructions in our README.
As the version implies, it should be mostly stable and we expect to only include minor improvements until the release of Fractal 14. Our strings are frozen until then. Now is a good time to help with the translations.
If you want to join the fun, you can try to fix one of our newcomers issues. We are always looking for new contributors!
