Spring is here in Fractal land. Birds chirping, flowers blooming, and a new beta for you to try!
Staff’s picks:
- Encryption support has been extended, with server-side key backup and account recovery.
- Messages that failed to send can now be retried or discarded.
- Messages can be reported to server admins for moderation.
- Room details are now considered complete, with the addition of room address management, permissions, and version upgrade.
- A new member menu appears when clicking on an avatar in the room history. It offers a quick way to do many actions related to that person, including opening a direct chat with them and moderating them.
- Pills are clickable and allow to directly go to a room or member profile.
- Many more improvements on the accessibility front, for better navigability with a screen reader.
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, there might be a slight risk of regressions, but it should be mostly stable. If all goes well the next step is the release candidate! We are not freezing our strings yet, but changes until the stable version should be kept to a minimum, so now would be a good time to start working on translations, as this module is quite sizeable.

As always, you can try to fix one of our issues. Any help is greatly appreciated!
