|
Fractal is a Matrix messaging app for GNOME written in Rust. Its interface is optimized for |
|
|
collaboration in large groups, such as free software projects, and will fit all screens, big or small. |
|
|
</p> |
|
|
<p>Highlights:</p> |
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
<li>Find rooms to discuss your favorite topics, or talk privately to people, securely thanks to end-to-end encryption</li> |
|
|
<li>Send rich formatted messages, files, or your current location</li> |
|
|
<li>Reply to specific messages, react with emoji, mention users or rooms, edit or remove messages</li> |
|
|
<li>View images, and play audio and video directly in the conversation</li> |
|
|
<li>See who has read messages, and who is typing</li> |
|
|
<li>Log into multiple accounts at once (with Single-Sign On support)</li> |
|
|
</ul> |

|
|
<li> |
|
|
More links are detected in messages and room descriptions |
|
|
</li> |
|
|
<li> |

“Historical” category collapsed by default |
|
|
</li> |
|
|
<li> |
|
|
A banner appears when synchronization with the homeserver fails too many times in a row |
|
|
</li> |
|
|
<li> |
|
|
The verification and account recovery processes have been polished |

|
</li> |
|
|

<release version="7" type="stable" date="2024-05-02"> |
|
|
<description> |
|
|
<p> |
|
|
Here comes Fractal 7, with extended encryption support and improved accessibility. |
|
|
Server-side key backup and account recovery have been added, bringing greater security. |
|
|
Third-party verification has received some bug fixes and improvements. Amongst the many |
|
|
accessibility improvements, navigability has increased, especially in the room history. |
|
|
But that’s not all we’ve been up to in the past three months: |
|
|
</p> |
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
<li> |
|
|
Messages that failed to send can now be retried or discarded. |
|
|
</li> |
|
|
<li> |
|
|
Messages can be reported to server admins for moderation. |
|
|
</li> |
|
|
<li> |
|
|
Room details are now considered complete, with the addition of room address management, |
|
|
permissions, and room upgrade. |
|
|
</li> |
|
|
<li> |
|
|
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. |
|
|
</li> |
|
|
<li> |
|
|
Pills are clickable and allow to directly go to a room or member profile. |
|
|
</li> |
|
|
</ul> |
|
|
<p> |
|
|
As usual, this release includes other improvements, fixes and new translations thanks to |
|
|
all our contributors, and our upstream projects. |

<release version="6" type="stable" date="2024-01-18"> |
|
|
<description> |
|
|
<p> |
|
|
Barely 2 months after Fractal 5, we feel there have been enough improvements to grant a |
|
|
new stable release. You have probably noticed that we have adopted a version scheme |
|
|
similar to GNOME and will bump the major version with each new release. |
|
|
</p> |
|
|
<p> |
|
|
The list of goodies: |
|
|
</p> |
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
<li> |
|
|
Fractal can open Matrix URIs, it is even registered as a handler for the “matrix” |
|
|
scheme |
|
|
</li> |
|
|
<li> |
|
|
The verification flow was rewritten, hopefully solving most verification issues |
|
|
</li> |
|
|
<li> |
|
|
Room members can be kicked, banned or ignored from their profile |
|
|
</li> |
|
|
<li> |
|
|
More notifications settings, global or per-room, were added |
|
|
</li> |
|
|
<li> |
|
|
Times follow the format (12h or 24h) from the system settings |
|
|
</li> |
|
|
<li> |
|
|
Tab auto-completion also works for mentioning public rooms, just start your query with |
|
|
“#” |
|
|
</li> |
|
|
</ul> |
|
|
<p> |
|
|
This version is fully translated into 6 languages 🙌️ and we hope to get even more 📈 for |
|
|
the next one! Head over to Damned Lies if you want to give a hand. |
|
|
</p> |
|
|
<p> |
|
|
We would also like to thank our new and returning contributors and our upstream projects. |

<release version="5" type="stable" date="2023-11-24"> |

|
|
<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> |
