<description> |
|
|
|
|
<p>Fractal 5.rc1 is the first release candidate since the rewrite of |
|
|
|
|
Fractal to take advantage of GTK 4 and the Matrix Rust SDK, an effort |
|
|
|
|
that started in March 2021.</p> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The most notable changes since Fractal 5.beta2, that was released 2 |
|
|
|
|
months ago, are:</p> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
|
|
<li>An awesome new look thanks to libadwaita 1.4</li> |
|
|
|
|
<li>Read receipts tracking has been largely improved thanks to some |
|
|
|
|
upstream work in the Matrix Rust SDK</li> |
|
|
|
|
<li>The same upstream work allows to have much better tracking of the |
|
|
|
|
activity in the rooms list</li> |
|
|
|
|
<li>The full lists of read receipts and reactions on messages can be |
|
|
|
|
perused in popovers</li> |
|
|
|
|
<li>Destructive actions like removing a message or leaving a room now |
|
|
|
|
ask for confirmation</li> |
|
|
|
|
<li>The most noticeable performance issues and memory leaks were fixed |
|
|
|
|
to make Fractal run as smoothly as ever</li> |
|
|
|
|
</ul> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This list is far from complete and hides more enhancements, including |
|
|
|
|
bug fixes and new translations thanks to all our contributors, and our |
|
|
|
|
upstream projects.</p> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>As the version implies, if we don’t find any major bug in the next 2 |
|
|
|
|
weeks, our next release should be the long-awaited Fractal 5 stable |
|
|
|
|
version!</p> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In the meantime, if you want to fix bugs, implement new features, or |
|
|
|
|
any other kind of contribution, you can get inspired by taking a look |
|
|
|
|
at our issues tracker on GitLab. Any help is greatly appreciated!</p> |

|
<p>Fractal 5.beta2 is the second beta release 🎉 since the rewrite of |
|
|
|
|
Fractal to take advantage of GTK 4 and the Matrix Rust SDK, an effort |
|
|
|
|
that started in March 2021.</p> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The most visible changes since Fractal 5.beta1 are:</p> |
|
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
|
|
<li>Editing text messages ✏️</li> |
|
|
|
|
<li>Logging in with homeservers that don’t support auto-discovery 🧐 |
|
|
|
|
</li> |
|
|
|
|
<li>A refactor of the login flow should avoid crashes when going back |
|
|
|
|
at any step 🔙</li> |
|
|
|
|
<li>Sometimes two day dividers 📅 would appear next to each other |
|
|
|
|
without messages between them, this is now fixed</li> |
|
|
|
|
</ul> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Of course, there are a also a lot of less visible changes, notably a |
|
|
|
|
lot of refactoring, 🐛 fixes and translations thanks to all our |
|
|
|
|
contributors, and our upstream projects.</p> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>As the version implies, this is still considered beta stage and might |
|
|
|
|
trigger crashes or other bugs 😔 but overall should be pretty stable |
|
|
|
|
👍.</p> |

Fractal 5 is a full rewrite compared to Fractal 4, that now leverages GTK 4, libadwaita, |
|
|
|
|
and the Matrix Rust SDK. The two-and-a-half-year effort brings a new interface that fits |
|
|
|
|
all screens, big 🖥️ or small 📱, but should still look familiar to users of earlier versions. |
|
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
|
It still offers the same old features you know and love, with a few additions. |
|
|
|
|
Highlights (<em>italics</em> is new✨ in 5): |
|
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
|
|
<li>Find rooms to discuss your favorite topics, or talk privately to people, securely thanks to <em>end-to-end encryption</em></li> |
|
|
|
|
<li>Send rich formatted messages, files, or <em>your current location</em></li> |
|
|
|
|
<li><em>Reply</em> to specific messages, <em>react</em> with emoji, <em>edit</em> or remove messages</li> |
|
|
|
|
<li>View images, and play audio and video directly in the conversation</li> |
|
|
|
|
<li>See <em>who has read messages</em>, and who is typing</li> |
|
|
|
|
<li>Log into <em>multiple accounts</em> at once (with <em>Single-Sign On</em> support)</li> |
|
|
|
|
</ul> |
|
|
|
|
<p>Major missing features are:</p> |
|
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
|
|
<li>Notifications</li> |
|
|
|
|
<li>Read markers</li> |
|
|
|
|
</ul> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>As the name implies, this is still considered alpha stage and is not |
|
|
|
|
ready for general use just yet. If you want to give this development |
|
|
|
|
version a try, you can get it from the GNOME Apps Nightly flatpak |
|
|
|
|
repository (See wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Nightly).</p> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>A list of known issues and missing features for a 5.0 release can be |
|
|
|
|
found in the Fractal v5 milestone on Gitlab.</p> |
