Todayโs Matrix Live: https://youtube.com/watch?v=S1bJBtV5KxE ๐ Dept of Status of Matrix ๐ก๏ธ Amandine announces Happy to welcome connect2x as a new Silver member of the Foundation this week! ๐ Benedict and the connect2x team have been active members of the community for a while, in particular with Tammy and Trixinity , but connect2x is also a strong provider of TI-Messenger solutions in the German healthcare ecosystem. Thank you for your support! ๐ Dept of Events and Talks ๐ฃ๏ธ Thib (m.org) reports One month left! Thereโs only one month left to send your talk proposals for The Matrix Conference. But another deadline is looming, even sooner: thereโs only two weeks left to get a discounted Early Bird ticket, and to secure merch for you size! Early Bird tickets have a 20% discount, so donโt wait too long and grab yours! Individual members should also have received their voucher for a free ticket! Weโll send the vouchers for organizational members shortly. Find all the details of the conference on https://conference.matrix.org/ ๐ Dept of Working Groups ๐ช ๐ Room Directory Working Group ( website ) The Room Directory WG helps maintain the room directory on the matrix.org homeserver. LogN announces Here is your weekly update from the Matrix.org Room Directory Working Group! The Room Directory is a great place to find rooms and promote your own. If you are interested in helping us curate a high-quality, interesting directory for the wider Matrix community, we can always use your help! Come chat with us in #room-dir-wg-office:neko.dev. This week, no new rooms were listed in the matrix.org room directory. If you are a room administrator and are interested in potentially listing a room, please consider filling out the form ! In light of having no new rooms to share, hereโs a spotlight on a random room from the directory: KDE User Help ( #kde:kde.org ) Please follow our code of conduct: https://kde.org/code-of-conduct . State your distribution and Plasma version when asking questions. Non Help/Support discussions in #kde-offtopic:kde.org ๐ Dept of Clients ๐ฑ ๐ Matrix-Svelte-Client ( website ) Alexis says Hi everyone, long time no TWIM ! I just released a new version of the experimental Matrix-Svelte-Client , built with Tauri and matrix-ui-serializable . This new version adds proper media and room threads support, and much more ( changelog ) ! I say Matrix-Svelte-Client is experimental because Iโm using it as a base for a much bigger open-source project related to Matrix Iโve been working on for the past few months. And I intend to present it during the Matrix Community Summit in Berlin next week ! See you there ! ๐ ๐ Wally ( website ) Joop Kiefte (LaPingvino) says Wally got a bit more independent, and only slightly more serious about versioning. Itโs on 4.99.0 and I recommend everyone who runs it to update to this version: it has a significant CPU bug fix and moves over keys from Cinny to Wally naming internally, so making sure you run this version now means you should be able to keep on updating without hopefully needing to login again. Also as usually a lot of quality of life improvements, and the development model is moving more and more away from trying to be in touch with upstream. That said, you should still be able to apply patches to upstream with specific features to not have to commit to the whole thing. Not sure if I mentioned it before, but Element Call has been fully replaced with Wally Conference, which relies more on the underlying Livekit rooms while adding support for guest joining calls and breakout rooms via the Wally Conference bot. You can check this all out for yourself via the installation on https://wukkie.uk and in the space at #wally:chat.kiefte.eu . Find the code on https://codeberg.org/lapingvino/wally ! ๐ Komai ( website ) Slavi [etke.cc] says Komai has had a bunch of releases since the initial launch. Among various large and small improvements, we now also ship prebuilt (unsigned) Windows (x64) and macOS (Apple Silicon) binaries as part of each release! ๐ Cinny ( website ) A Matrix client focusing primarily on simple, elegant and secure interface. Lozenge reports ๐ Cinny 4.12.1 This release focuses on bug fixes, security updates, and a few quality-of-life improvements across calling, messaging, and media handling. ๐ Security update Dependency used for HTML sanitization has been updated to due to vulnerability. Updated sanitize-html to v2.17.4 Users are recommended to update to this release. ๐ Calling improvements You can now start a video call directly in DMs and rooms User avatars are now shown during calls Added a right-click shortcut to quickly start calls Fixed an issue where double-clicking could attempt to join a call without the required permissions ๐ Message editor and markdown fixes Fixed crashes when editing lists Fixed list rendering problems in Mozilla Firefox Fixed a crash caused by editing messages with empty headings Codeblock filenames are now preserved when editing Added support for filenames inside codeblocks Added support for plaintext codeblocks inside codeblocks Improved support for nested markdown lists ๐ Media and preview improvements URL preview images now have a proper hover state Multiple URL preview are now easier to browse with keyboard navigation Clicking a URL preview thumbnail now opens the image viewer Audio player now support .ogg audio files ๐ Stability fixes Fixed a notification-related crash on Android Removed a typo in the no rooms interface Added support for the stable mutual rooms endpoint Added YYYY-MM-DD (ISO 8601) as a date format option Release: https://github.com/cinnyapp/cinny/releases/tag/v4.12.1 Join our space at: https://matrix.to/#/#cinny:matrix.org ๐ Tammy ( website ) Multiplatform messenger built on top of Trixnity Messenger. Benedict says During a hackathon last week at connect2x, we successfully integrated a Matrix-driven calendar into Tammy. In this implementation, every calendar event is a Matrix room, allowing users to seamlessly transition to chatting, inviting others, or starting a video call directly within the eventโs dedicated room. We included the ability to create and edit rooms based on calendar events, and added a nice monthly calendar overview. There are some limitations of Matrix with our approach, but nothing that an MSCs couldnโt fix. ๐ Dept of Bots ๐ค ๐ MXUserbot ( website ) ะะฐัะฐ ะฅะพัะธะฝะพ announces ๐ What is a userbot? Unlike a separate bot account you have to invite to rooms, a userbot runs directly on YOUR everyday personal account : from showing off cool modules to your friends to full automation - itโs all up to you! MXUserbot gives you this power with a plugin-based system and easy setup for regular people. ๐ Features Run on any server (with built-in rate limiting). WebUI for configuration and searching for modules. Emoji reactions as buttons. FSM support. SAS verification for the bot and other devices. Code: https://github.com/MxUserBot/MXUserbot ๐ Dept of Jobs ๐ฐ๏ธ Amandine says ๐ Funding suggestion! The Sovereign Tech Agency has a call for applications open for a Sovereign Tech Standard network , a pilot funding mechanism to support open source maintainers looking to contribute to standards. The programme supports open source maintainers and protocol contributors participating in standards work at: IETF W3C ISO While Matrix is not part of any of these bodies, we believe that if several members of the community showed interest in getting funded to support Matrix we may be able to make a case for it โ if not now, maybe later down the line for next iterations of the programme: at least we would have data points. Based on our reading of their criteria, we understand that the work that may be funded could include: Pure Matrix protocol work (MSCs redactions, commentโฆ) Work on the intersection between Matrix and other standards (e.g. MIMI) But in the end one could submit anything that supports the standardisation effort and management of the standard, for example, one could potentially submit: Participation in Working Groups or the Governing Board (if you are an elected member), Development of reference implementations Interoperability testingโฆ In any case, the grant requires a commitment to spend at least 10h per week on the project and would provide a fixed monthly payment of โฌ4,800 to โฌ5,200 from mid-June 2026 through June 2027. Obviously these suggestions are purely based on our understanding and we cannot guarantee that any of these may be accepted by the Sovereign Tech Agency , but submitting these could at least drive the STAโs reflection on the subject and hopefully lead to funding now or down the line to grow Matrix!
