- Update to version 11.2 (boo#1244411):
+ This version updates the matrix-sdk-crypto dependency to
include a fix for a high severity security issue
(CVE-2025-48937).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu May 15 12:02:26 UTC 2025 - Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- Update to version 11.1:
+ Due to a pesky bug that makes Fractal crash when our users
attempt to start a verification, we are releasing Fractal 11.1
only 2 weeks after Fractal 11. And while we’re at it we also
backported a few fixes for smaller paper cuts!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun May 4 06:28:04 UTC 2025 - Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- Update to version 11:
+ Support for login using the OAuth 2.0 API (as used by
matrix.org, which recently made the switch to Matrix
Authentication Service).
+ Overhaul of the page that lists user sessions, with details
moved to subpages, for a less cluttered feel, and allowing to
rename sessions!
+ Rearranged account settings, with a new Safety tab that
includes a setting to toggle media preview visibility.
+ BlurHashes for images and videos, that are used as placeholders
while the media is loading or if the preview is disabled.
+ Contiguous state events are grouped behind a single item.
+ As usual, this release includes other improvements and fixes
thanks to all our contributors, and our upstream projects.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Feb 11 16:56:58 UTC 2025 - Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- Update to version 10.1:
+ Due to a couple of unfortunate but important regressions in
Fractal 10, we are releasing Fractal 10.1 so our users don’t
have to wait too long for them to be addressed. This minor
version fixes the following issues:
- Some rooms were stuck in an unread state, even after reading
them or marking them as read.
- Joining or creating a room would crash the app.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jan 31 22:16:41 UTC 2025 - Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- Update to version 10:
+ The QR code scanning code has been ported to libaperture, the
library behind GNOME Camera. This should result in better
performance and more reliability.
+ OAuth 2.0 compatibility was added, to make sure that we are
ready for the upcoming authentication changes for matrix.org.
+ Pills for users and rooms mentions show consistently in the
right place instead of seemingly random places, getting rid of
one of our oldest and most annoying bug.
+ Attachments go through the send queue, ensuring correct order
of all messages and improving the visual feedback.
+ Videos were often not playing after loading in the room
history. This was fixed, and we also show properly when an
error occurred.
+ We were downloading too many different sizes for avatar images,
which would fill the media cache needlessly. We now only
download a couple of sizes. This has the extra benefit of
fixing blurry or missing thumbnails in notifications.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jan 17 10:58:59 UTC 2025 - Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- Update to version 10.rc:
+ The most next-gen addition goes to… making Fractal OIDC aware.
This ensures compatibility with the upcoming authentication
changes for matrix.org.
+ The most valuable fix goes to… showing consistently pills for
users and rooms mentions in the right place instead of
seemingly random places, getting rid of one of our oldest and
most annoying bug.
+ The most sensible improvement goes to… using the send queue for
attachments, ensuring correct order of all messages and
improving the visual feedback.
+ The most underrated feature goes to… allowing to react to
stickers, fixing a crash in the process.
+ The most obvious tweak goes to… removing the “Open Direct Chat”
menu entry from avatar menu and member profile in direct chats.
+ The clearest enhancement goes to… labelling experimental
versions in the room upgrade menu as such.
+ As usual, this release includes other improvements and fixes.
+ Updated translations.
- Add pkgconfig(gstgtk4), pkgconfig(lcms2), rubygem(sass) and
rust-grass BuildRequires: New dependencies.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jan 6 19:36:16 UTC 2025 - Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- Add explicit gstreamer-plugins-good-gtk Requires: Ensure this
runtime dependency is in place (boo#1191723).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Nov 13 09:11:51 UTC 2024 - Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- Update to version 9:
* We switched to the glycin library (the same one used by GNOME
Image Viewer) to load images, allowing us to fix several
issues, like supporting more animated formats and SVGs and
respecting EXIF orientation.
* The annoying bug where some rooms would stay as unread even
after opening them is now a distant memory.
* The media cache uses its own database that you can delete if
you want to free some space on your system. It will also soon
be able to clean up unused media files to prevent it from
growing indefinitely.
* Sometimes the day separators would show up with the wrong date,
not anymore!
* We migrated to the new GTK 4.16 and libadwaita 1.6 APIs,
including CSS variables, AdwButtonRow and AdwSpinner.
* We used to only rely on the secrets provider to tell us which
Matrix accounts are logged-in, which caused issues for people
sharing their secrets between devices. Now we also make sure
that there is a data folder for a given session before trying
to restore it.
* Our notifications are categorized as coming from an instant
messenger, so graphical shells that support it, such as Phosh,
can play a sound for them.
* Some room settings are hidden for direct chats, because it does
not make sense to change them in this type of room.
* The size of the headerbar would change depending on whether the
room has a topic or not. This will not happen anymore.
- Update URL and source service url to new home.
- Add pkgconfig(libseccomp) and pkgconfig(libwebp) BuildRequires:
New dependencies.
- Add explicit glycin-loaders Requires: New runtime dependency.
- Drop obsolete and unneeded update-desktop-files BuildRequires and
macro.
- Disable LTO via _lto_cflags %{nil} define, FTBFS without.
- Build for %{rust_tier1_arches} instead of only x86_64.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Aug 1 16:28:28 UTC 2024 - Richard Rahl <rrahl0@opensuse.org>
- update to version 8:
* Mentions are sent intentionally
* Authenticated media are supported
* Draft messages are kept per-room and persisted across restarts
* More links are detected in messages and room descriptions
* Collapsed categories in the sidebar are remembered between restarts
* A banner appears when synchronization with the homeserver fails
too many times in a row
* The verification and account recovery processes have been polished
* HTML rendering has been improved, with the support of new
elements and attributes
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri May 3 01:32:44 UTC 2024 - Richard Rahl <rrahl0@disroot.org>
- update to version 7:
* 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 room 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.
* Account recovery, introduced during this cycle, could lead to an unclear
situation where it was still incomplete even after successfully going
through the process
* After fixing a focus issue upstream in GtkListView, we got rid of more
focus issues in our widgets. That should make the room history completely
accessible with keyboard navigation.
* Third party verification, that happens in a direct chat, was partly broken
as the banner about an ongoing verification was not showing up anymore.
The culprit was found and we took that opportunity to improve the security
instructions. Along with this bugfix, a coat of polish has been applied.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Mar 29 10:39:40 UTC 2024 - Richard Rahl <rrahl0@proton.me>
- update to version 7.beta:
+ Encryption support has been extended, with server-side key backup
and account recovery.

+ 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.
+ improvements on the accessibility front, for better navigability with a
screen reader.

Replace the exsisting ExcludeArch with an ExclusiveArch.
- Fixup _service, recompress during build. Sadly we can not update
the vendored deps, as this fails the build.

Sat Aug 19 01:57:20 UTC 2023 - Luciano Santos <luc14n0@opensuse.org>
- Update to version 5.beta2:

started in March 2021.
+ The most visible changes since Fractal 5.beta1 are:
- Editing text messages.
- Logging in with homeservers that don’t support
auto-discovery.
