next you're gonna show up at my front door and offer me a pamphlet with quotes from the Book of Mautrix
Today I present you with the latest and greatest in Continuwuity technology: v26.9.1!
This release contains several very important bug fixes, including a fix for a critical severity vulnerability affecting all federated deployments of all versions. Details will be released at a later date.
Important
If you cannot update to this version, you should disable federation entirely: either block it in your reverse proxy, or set
allow_federation=falsein your configuration.Note that after updating to this version, there is a database migration that runs in the background - it may take several hours, and you may notice significantly elevated resource usage while it is running (notably CPU and disk IO). It only runs once, after updating. Try to avoid interrupting it, however in this case there will be no negative side effects of interrupting the migration while it is in the background, it just means it'll have to start from scratch again.
INFOlevel logs will be provided as it progresses.Features
- The server now calculates some data for
unsigneddata when sending it to clients, rather than embedding it at rest. This brings decreased storage costs and improved access control checks. Contributed by @nex. (#2270) - Added encrypted Web Push (MSC4174), enabled by default. Contributed by @eleboucher.
Bugfixes
- Fixed exponential blowup in auth event fetching for deep auth chains, which caused runaway CPU and RAM until restart. Contributed by @eleboucher. (auth-event-walk)
- Fixed events being repeatedly re-requested over federation when they were fetched successfully but could not be resolved, and throttled remote event fetches made on behalf of clients. Contributed by @eleboucher. (#2090)
- SEC8 (embargoed until next release)
Improved Documentation
- Add Open Collective links to docs and restyle action buttons. Contributed by @stratself (#2269)

MY PAWS ARE BIG AND FLUFFY PAYPAL ME $20
Look ma, new release! We did things! Most of the team has been on hiatus for this release cycle, but luckily we've still had a flux of community contributions, with a wave of bugfixes in no small part thanks to @eleboucher. There's nothing super exciting in this update, it's mostly housekeeping, but it fixes a regression introduced in v26.8.0 that caused outbound federation to stall under specific circumstances.
Important
There are potentially breaking changes in this release, please review if you are affected BEFORE updating:
- Challengeless registration has been soft-removed -
yes_i_am_very_very_sure_i_want_an_open_registration_server_prone_to_abuseno longer has any effect, meaning as of v26.9.0, to register on a continuwuity server, you MUST either use a token, or pass a captcha and/or verify an email. This configuration option now only works in debugging builds with a custom build feature, which is not enabled by default. - Unauthenticated media is now disabled by default - the legacy
/_matrix/media/*paths that were unauthenticated now no longer respond by default, enforcing the requirement that media requests are authenticated. This may break old bridges or other services that relied on Matrix being an open media proxy.
Features
-
Added connection_uri_file to configuration options (#1790)
-
Removed the ability to run a server with "challengeless registration" (i.e. the big scary long config option, with no captcha, email, or registration token requirements), without manually compiling
the server with non-default arguments. Contributed by @nex.(This is part of a wider effort to reduce abuse in the Matrix network, of which servers that are easily automated cause a disproportionate amount of) (#2189)
-
Disable legacy, unauthenticated media (
allow_legacy_media) by default as the Matrix ecosystem has completely sunsetted this functionality. Legacy media allows anyone to access a file just by knowing its URL, thereby turning homeservers into unwitting CDNs. Homeserver admins are strongly encouraged to check and turn off this option. (#2225) -
Added the
provider_nameandprovider_iconOIDC options, which show the identity provider's name and icon on the web login page. Contributed by @eleboucher. -
Advertised MatrixRTC (MSC4143) support in
/_matrix/client/versions. Contributed by @eleboucher. -
The account management web UI now shows users' MSC4427 profile banners. Contributed by @ginger.
Bugfixes
- Fixed simplified Sliding Sync lists returning rooms out of activity order. Contributed by @eleboucher. (sliding-sync-activity-ordering)
- Fixed simplified Sliding Sync restarting when overlapping sync responses arrive out of order. Contributed by @eleboucher. (sliding-sync-overlapping-responses)
- Fixed simplified Sliding Sync re-sending rooms in full after a list's window shrinks and grows again. Contributed by @eleboucher. (sliding-sync-window-positions)
- Fixed MSC4155 invite filtering being applied to outgoing invites, which prevented users from inviting anyone they had blocked or ignored invites from. Contributed by @eleboucher. (msc4155-outbound-invites)
- Fixed
!admin query pusher delete-all-userreporting success without deleting any pushers. Contributed by @eleboucher. (#1726) - Removing a device from the web UI will no longer show a "Back" link pointing to a 404. Contributed by @ginger. (#2062)
- Fixed simplified sliding sync omitting device list updates for rooms with only timeline changes. Contributed by @eleboucher. (#2175)
- Fixed federation transactions never being sent to a remote that was put into backoff by an unrelated request. Contributed by @eleboucher. (#2188)
- Re-added a cooldown when fetching events from remote servers that have previously failed to be pulled, preventing request spam. (#2201)
- One-time keys and fallback keys are now properly cleaned up when a device is deleted. (#2202)
- Sliding sync responses no longer include an empty room account data entry for every room in a list's range. Contributed by @eleboucher. (#2226)
- Fixed the space hierarchy endpoints returning non-suggested
m.space.childevents inchildren_statewhensuggested_onlywas requested. Contributed by @eleboucher. - The account deactivation page in the account management web UI now shows a message when OIDC is enabled instead of prompting users for a nonexistent account password.

Experts aren't real it's all just a tgirl in a hoodie on a thinkpad
Boo! Surprise release! It's a good one, too - we've hugely improved the reliability of federation, again! We've upgraded our tracking of remote servers to automatically notice when they come back online, and re-resolve the addresses of servers that have moved!
If you're feeling a little experimental, you can enable
allow_sticky_eventsand try out the Matrix 2.0 version of Element Call (in its developer tools). On top of that, we've resolved (badum tss) a boatload of bugs. Improvements in sync, Simplified Sliding Sync and spaces! That's a lot of S's!This release also conains a security fix (SEC30).
Features
- Added new health tracking to monitor the health of remote servers and intelligently back-off federation globally with automatic stale re-resolution.
(#2097) - Added MSC4354 sticky events (and MSC4480 for sliding sync), behind the
allow_sticky_eventsconfig option. Contributed by @eleboucher. - Added scoped typing updates to Simplified Sliding Sync (MSC4508). Contributed by @eleboucher.
- Added MSC4186 direct, encrypted, and room-type list filters to Simplified Sliding Sync, resolving invited rooms from their stripped invite state. Contributed by
@eleboucher.
Bugfixes
- Re-introduced admin room registration alerts that were accidentally removed in the OAuth2 update. (#2057)
- Fixed federation PDUs received during remote joins being dropped before their room state was available. Contributed by @eleboucher.
(#2063) - Resolve membership service by correct name for auto-join. Contributed by @Aranjedeath (#2082)
- Fixed simplified sliding sync reporting the number of live timeline events. Contributed by @eleboucher. (#2083)
- Plugged a logic gap that may have been allowing Continuwuity to process events with incorrect room versions under certain conditions. Contributed by @nex.
(#2106) - The OAuth 2.0 device authorization endpoint now rejects clients which did not register the device code grant type, instead of issuing them a device code. The token endpoint now returns the
unauthorized_clienterror code when a client requests a grant type it did not register, instead ofinvalid_grant. Contributed by @mmaudet.
(#2110) - Events arriving after one of their children has already been backfilled are no longer used as forward extremities. Contributed by @eleboucher.
(#2115) - Fixed federated space hierarchies omitting rooms restricted to members of private spaces. Contributed by @eleboucher. (#2132)
- A panic during transaction handling will no longer cause the handle tracker to reference a stale transaction, which caused federation between two servers to fail until continuwuity was restarted.
Contributed by @nex. (#2137) - Fixed event tracking forgetting to mark soft-failed/rejected events as referenced, which caused a build-up of incorrectly unreferenced events, triggering frequent dummy squashes and associated state
resets. (#2164) - Fixed left/banned rooms sometimes not coming down sync.
- Fixed local events dropping forward extremities they did not reference. Contributed by @eleboucher.
- Fixed missed wake-ups and stale responses in legacy and sliding sync long polls. Contributed by @eleboucher.
- Fixed space hierarchy depth limits, child ordering, and non-space child traversal. Contributed by @eleboucher.
- Fixed state resolution ordering room creators as having no power level. Contributed by @eleboucher.
- Fixed sync loops being woken before membership changes are fully committed.
- Fixed typing notifications not interrupting a sync long poll. Contributed by @eleboucher.
- Preserve all users' read receipts when batching room receipt updates.
- Fixed MSC4323 suspend/lock admin endpoints: the lock endpoint now locks instead of suspending users, and error codes match the
ratified spec. Contributed by @eleboucher.
Improved Documentation
- Refactor TURN docs and remove unsafe setups. Polish LiveKit docs. Add guidance for TURNS-over-443 multiplexing for both LiveKit and legacy calls. Contributed by @stratself
(#1740) - Updated the docs to reflect the current default User-Agent for URL previews (#2079)
- Added missing documentation to config parameters. Contributed by @renegadespork (#2107)
- Generic deployment documentation: Use
/etc/caddy/Caddyfileinstead of/etc/caddy/conf.d/*paths, which do not exist on a majority of Caddy installations.
(#2117) - Add caveat and workaround for container resolution (e.g. for dockerized appservices) when using mounted
/etc/resolv.conf. Contributed by @stratself - Livekit docs, troubleshooting section: Advise using
host-gatewaymagic address forlk-jwt-servicecontainer to loop back to host, instead of the other incomplete/incorrect workarounds.
Contributed by @stratself - Livekit docs:
room.auto_create: falseis now included in defaultlivekit.yaml, followinglk-jwt-servicerecommendation. - Replace deprecated
docker-composecommands withdocker composeto reflect latest Docker changes. - Update backup instructions: the right paths for
.sstfiles are now in$DATABASE_BACKUP_PATH/private/<number>path instead of$DATABASE_BACKUP_PATH/<number>. Contributed by @stratself
Misc
- Updated admin command names (list-users -> list, list-rooms -> list, and reload-mods -> reload), old names are now aliases. Contributed by @PerformativeJade (#2033)
- Updated Ruma dependencies. Contributed by @eleboucher.

You've given a perfectly good computer ADHD is what you've done
Ello there. It's my turn to make a release, so today I (and the continuwuity team) am proud to present to you: v26.8.0-alpha.1! This pre-release contains many bug fixes and performance improvements.

This release fixes a few important fixes that slipped by the previous release, including one security fix:
Bugfixes
- Sliding sync no longer continues streaming data to a user after they are removed from a room. Contributed by @eleboucher. (SEC10)
- Valid redaction events no longer arbitrarily soft-fail and are applied correctly as expected.
- Fixed a regression that caused the server to process events for rooms it no longer has any local users in, which caused users to be reset back into rooms.

Continuwuity is a community-driven Matrix chat server, designed to be efficient and easy to run
now I just need to figure out how you've broken the laws of mathematics on a friday evening
Hello friends! We've got another release for you all, incorporating loads of bugfixes since 26.6.0 released earlier this month. Legacy sync has gotten a fresh coat of paint, including a mitigation for the infamous bug known as !779 that caused newly joined rooms to fail to sync to clients. Various issues with appservice masquerading have been fixed as well, so E2EE-compatible appservices should work properly again. Finally, we now have official ARM64 Debian and Ubuntu packages available in our repository -- check the documentation to learn more.
The team would like to extend special thanks to everyone who updated to 26.6.0 and its patch releases, reported bugs, and help us polish everything up. Your support is critical to keeping the project together 💜
Note
26.7.1 is a retag of 26.7.0 to fix an issue with the new ARM64 deb workflow. The releases have identical code and identical binaries.
Features
- Build and publish arm64 .deb packages alongside amd64 for all supported Debian and Ubuntu releases. (#1235)
- Dehydrated devices are now visible in the account panel. Contributed by @ginger. (#1970)
- Introduce
accepted_ip_sourcesas a multiple options variant ofrequest_ip_source, allowing for more advanced deployments and making fallbacks an explicit choice. Contributed by @Omar007 (#1985) - Added an admin command to issue an access token for a bot account, to allow legacy bots to function while legacy authentication is disabled. Contributed by @ginger (#2044)
- Added support for the OAuth2 device authorization flow. Contributed by @ginger
- Added support for the stable mutual rooms query endpoint. Contributed by @ginger
Bugfixes
- Fix joining restricted rooms over federation failing with signature verification error. (fix-federation-signature)
- Fixed the client space hierarchy endpoint returning a 500 "Space hierarchy is unreasonably large" error for cyclic space graphs (e.g. a space containing itself). Rooms are now deduplicated during traversal as required by the spec, and the traversal depth is bounded even when the client does not specify
max_depth. (space-hierarchy-cycle) - Fixed simplified sliding sync holding account data for up to 30 seconds, which made encryption setup and cross-signing resets appear to hang. (sss-account-data-longpoll)
- Fixed local invites and invite acceptances not being reflected in sync promptly. Contributed by @eleboucher (wake-local-member-sync)
- Fixed the deeplink redirect for deleting devices. Contributed by @koen (#1965)
- Fix status code for oauth registration. Contributed by @n00byking (#1984)
- Exempt m.room.create from auth_events check. Contributed by @eleboucher (#1987)
- Fixed
createbeing returned as a supported prompt value regardless of if registration is enabled or not. Contributed by @ginger (#1994) - Fixed high CPU usage when multiple clients from the same account were connected at once. Each sync woke the account's other sync loops, causing them to wake each other in a loop. (#2006)
- Fixed MSC4190 appservice device creation registering a random device ID instead of the requested one (and dropping the requested display name), which prevented encrypted mautrix bridges from starting on OIDC-enabled servers and leaked an orphan device on the bridge bot per startup attempt. (#2015)
- Deactivated users and appservice puppets are no longer counted by
/_continuwuity/local_user_count. Contributed by @ginger. (#2040) - Re-introduced admin room registration alerts that were accidentally removed in the OAuth2 update. (#2057)
- Appservices are now properly able to create devices for E2EE.
- Appservices may now specify both the unstable and stable
device_idquery parameters in a request. The stable parameter will take priority. Contributed by @ginger. - Fixed
roomuserid_lastnotificationreadbeing aliased to the highlight count table, which clobbered highlight counts when setting a read marker. Contributed by @eleboucher - Fixed freshly left room failing to sync.
- Fixed newly created rooms failing to sync properly in clients using legacy sync.
- Fixed newly joined rooms failing to sync their full state (including the room name) to clients using legacy sync.
- Fixed requests returning
500 Internal Server Errorwhen the header selected byrequest_ip_sourceis absent, duplicated, or malformed (for example Envoy omittingX-Envoy-External-Addresson internal requests). The client IP now falls back to the connection peer address instead of failing the request. Contributed by @eleboucher - Resolve alias service by correct name for auto-join. Contributed by @eleboucher
Improved Documentation
- Updated an out-of-date statement about Oracle Linux release cadences. (#1999)

EVERY TIME I FIX AN ERROR TEN MORE APPEAR
One more time for the people in the back! This is a bugfix release that fixes a further late-arriving issue with OIDC, as well as some issues which were supposed to be fixed in the previous release but were lost because of a forge hiccup. It is recommended all deployments update as soon as possible, especially if they are using OIDC.
Bugfixes
- Fixed the server returning 500 errors if
admin_console_automaticis enabled and no TTY is available. Contributed by @s1lv3r. (#1975) - Fixed
global.oauth.compatibility_modebeing required, despite being ignored, when the[global.oauth.oidc]config section is provided. - Fixed an issue with a migration that could cause user accounts imported from an identity provider to be marked as deactivated when the server started. If you have accounts affected by this issue, use
!admin users reset-password --convert-to-local-accountto reactivate them.

Warning
Several very disruptive bugs have been discovered in this release. It is recommended you skip this version and instead choose the latest 26.6.X patch release.
That time again, already? This is a bugfix release that hashes over some bugs that were found shortly after releasing v26.6.0. It is recommended all deployments update as soon as possible, especially if they are using OIDC.
Features
- Added enforcement for new federated invite checks and corrected a bunch of related spec compliance issues along the way. Contributed by @nex. (#1952)
Bugfixes
- Fixed existing accounts failing to link when logging in with OIDC if
prompt_for_localpartwasfalse. (#1942) - Authentication is no longer required on the
/_matrix/client/v3/account/3pid/email/requestTokenendpoint. (#1953) - Fixed newly created rooms failing to sync properly in clients using legacy sync.
- Stopped appservice users from being erroneously marked as deactivated during a 26.6 database migration.
- Whitespace will now automatically be trimmed from the start and end of the
global.oauth.oidc.client_secret_file.
Incompatible changes
- The new validation checks performed as part of #1952 will prevent any Continuwuity server that is not up to date from sending federated invites to up-to-date servers due to spec compliance issues in prior versions. If this causes problems for you, you should downgrade or just remain on the previous version. Local invites are unaffected.

Continuwuity is a community-driven Matrix chat server, designed to be efficient and easy to run
this PR makes performance and stability WORSE. we did this because we are EVIL.
Warning
Several very disruptive bugs have been discovered in this release. It is recommended you skip this version and instead choose the latest 26.6.X patch release.
Hello friends! It's been a while. Almost three months, in fact, but we've been busy. I'm not sure how to convey how major this release is, and how excited we are for you all to get to play with it. We've changed more than thirty five thousand lines of code - a third of the codebase - and brought you some incredible features since our last release, including some of our most highly requested features ever. To mark this milestone, we've changed our versioning scheme! Continuwuity is officially out of the zerover tarpit.
In compatible clients, you'll notice a new login and registration screen. This is our newly introduced support for OAuth login, also referred to as next-generation authentication. This means it's finally possible to register new accounts in Element X! We've also added support for Single Sign On using OpenID Connect-compatible identity providers, and have removed support for LDAP per #1701.
We've fixed a longstanding design flaw with our legacy sync code which should massively reduce database sizes for old deployments and slow database growth for new ones.
We've also got an incredible amount of invisible improvements! Many improvements have been made to federation to make it faster and more reliable. You're much less likely to experience a state reset. Room upgrades are smoother and more reliable. Synchronisation with clients is more correct and reliable. Unable to Decrypt errors should be less likely when you recive lots of messages while offline. Policy server support has been updated.
Server administrators may wish to configure the new
request_ip_sourceoption to set how Continuwuity determines the client's IP address.Thanks to @julian45, our Fedora RPM packages have been replaced by packages in the Terra repository and the OpenSUSE Build Service. This means that Continuwuity is now available for EL and OpenSUSE distributions. To use these packages, please follow the new RPM guide. Users on the old
forgejo.ellis.linkRPM repositories must migrate to the new packages.Note
Updating to this release is one-way, as it includes database migrations that make it incompatible with the 0.5.x series.
Features
-
Added support for linking an external identity provider with OIDC. Contributed by @ginger. (#765)
-
Updated MSC4284: Policy Servers implementation to support the newly stabilised proposal. Contributed by @nex. (#1487)
-
Added config option for default room ACLs. Contributed by @eve. (#1691)
-
Added support for fallback encryption keys. (#1710)
-
Add
!admin users reject-all-invitesto clean invite spam (#1741) -
Implemented event rejection, which should resolve and prevent future netsplits of the kinds observed
within some Continuwuity rooms.
Also resolved several bugs related to both soft-failing events, and event backfilling, which should
improve state resolution stability.
The!admin debug get-pducommand was updated to disambiguate event acceptance status, and
!admin debug show-auth-chainwas added to visually display event auth chains, which may assist
developers in debugging strangely complex events. -
Added full support for MSC4168: Update
m.space.*state on room upgrade. Contributed by @nex. (#1807) -
Improved the performance and reliability of fetching missing events, improving network partition recovery. Contributed
by @nex. (#1818) -
Added static builds using Nix, allowing for Continuwuity on musl. During this, we also introduced a
max-perf-haswellpackage, separating it frommax-perf, so you may want to swap to this if you are on NixOS. Contributed by @Henry-Hiles (QuadRadical). (#1853) -
Added support for MSC4380 invite blocking, which has become part of the Matrix specification in v1.18. Contributed by @nex. (#1875)
-
Added
!admin debug get-state-atcommand (#1877) -
Added a configuration option to allow choosing a client IP source that is not the TCP connecting IP. Contributed by @nex. (#1931)
-
Added support for MSC4466, which allows clients to customize how changes to a user's global profile are propagated. Contributed by @ginger.
-
Added support for Matrix 1.16's
state_afterfeature, allowing clients which understand it to sync room state changes more reliably. Contributed by @ginger. -
Added support for authenticating clients using the new OAuth 2.0 login API. Contributed by @ginger.
-
Appservice device management as outlined in MSC4190 (part of Matrix 1.17) is now fully supported. Contributed by @ginger.
-
Users may now be forbidden from deactivating their own accounts with the new
allow_deactivationconfig option. Contributed by @ginger.
Bugfixes
- Adjusted legacy sync logic to allow the
roomsynctoken_shortstatehashdatabase column to be dropped, massively reducing database sizes, especially for old deployments. Contributed by @ginger. (#917) - Fixed a bug that caused the server to drop events during processing if several events for the same room were sent in a singular transaction. Contributed by @nex. (#1711)
- fix
!admin query account-data account-data-getnot returning the content (#1742) - Fixed an issue where Continuwuity would only advertise support for the unstable endpoint for Mutual Rooms (MSC2666), despite only supporting the stable endpoint. Contributed by @Henry-Hiles (QuadRadical) (#1752)
- Fixed admin commands being ignored when they had leading whitespace before admin commands. Contributed by @kitvonsnookerz. (#1804)
- Fixed several bugs in the
POST /_matrix/client/v3/rooms/{roomId}/upgradeendpoint. Contributed by @nex. (#1807) - Devices which set their presence as "offline" will no longer be considered for presence updates. Contributed by @timedout.
- Improved invite and join reliability in clients using legacy sync. Contributed by @ginger
- The invite recipient's membership event is now included in invite stripped state, which should fix flaky invite display in some clients. Contributed by @ginger
Improved Documentation
- Add performance tuning documentation. Contributed by @stratself. (#1498)
- Explain accessing Continuwuity's server console when deployed via Docker. (#1671)
- Clarified in the config that
max_request_sizeaffects federated media as well. (#1706) - Added example configuration using caddy-docker-proxy in the livekit setup section of the docs. Contributed by @Cease (#1762)
- Updated deployment docs to account for new RPM package availability across more distros. Contributed by @julian45. (#1912)
Deprecations and Removals
- Removed support for LDAP. (#1701)
- Removed support for guest user registration, a little-used and deprecated approach to room previews.
- Removed the
/_conduwuit/versions of thelocal_user_countandversionroutes. These routes are still accessible under the/_continuwuityprefix. - Support for server-side blurhashing (part of MSC2448) has been removed.
- The deprecated
well_known.rtc_focus_server_urlsconfig option has been removed. MatrixRTC foci should be configured using thematrix_rtc.fociconfig option.
Misc
- #1505, #1829, #1927, #1933, #1934
- Switched from Continuwuity's fork of Ruma back to upstream Ruma. Contributed by @ginger.
- The version of Debian that the Docker-based build process uses has been upgraded from Bookworm to Trixie, meaning that standalone binaries now have a minimum glibc of 2.41, and can no longer be used on distro versions from before 2025-01-30
