    Continuwuity 0.5.2

    brave or insane?

    The only difference between the two is success rate

    Today we're releasing Continuwuity 0.5.2, a minor release for Continuwuity 0.5.0. This release includes numerous improvements to Continuwuity's administration tooling, such as limited-use registration tokens and server-wide invite anti-spam.

    Features

    • Added support for issuing additional registration tokens, stored in the database, which supplement the existing registration token hardcoded in the config file. These tokens may optionally expire after a certain number of uses or after a certain amount of time has passed. Additionally, the registration_token_file configuration option is superseded by this feature and has been removed. Use the new !admin token command family to manage registration tokens. Contributed by @ginger (#783).
    • Implemented a configuration defined admin list independent of the admin room. Contributed by @Terryiscool160. (#1253)
    • Added support for invite and join anti-spam via Draupnir and Meowlnir, similar to that of synapse-http-antispam. Contributed by @nex. (#1263)
    • Implemented account locking functionality, to complement user suspension. Contributed by @nex. (#1266)
    • Added admin command to forcefully log out all of a user's existing sessions. Contributed by @nex. (#1271)
    • Implemented toggling the ability for an account to log in without mutating any of its data. Contributed by @nex. (#1272)
    • Add support for custom room create event timestamps, to allow generating custom prefixes in hashed room IDs. Contributed by @nex. (#1277)
    • Certain potentially dangerous admin commands are now restricted to only be usable in the admin room and server console. Contributed by @ginger.

    Bugfixes

    • Fixed unreliable room summary fetching and improved error messages. Contributed by @nex. (#1257)
    • Client requested timeout parameter is now applied to e2ee key lookups and claims. Related federation requests are now also concurrent. Contributed by @nex. (#1261)
    • Fixed the whoami endpoint returning HTTP 404 instead of HTTP 403, which confused some appservices. Contributed by @nex. (#1276)

    Misc

    • The console feature is now enabled by default, allowing the server console to be used for running admin commands directly. To automatically open the console on startup, set the admin_console_automatic config option to true. Contributed by @ginger.
    • We now (finally) document our container image mirrors. Contributed by @Jade

    Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release, and a special shoutout to first-time contributor @Terryiscool160!

    Continuwuity 0.5.0

    there just happens to be a lot of fires to put out recently

    We're thrilled to announce Continuwuity v0.5.0, our first full release!

    This release contains a fix for the critical vulnerability GHSA-22fw-4jq7-g8r8. Update as soon as possible.

    This release represents months of dedicated work from our amazing community since the last release candidate, bringing together 249 commits, around 100 pull requests, and contributions from 14 contributors. That totals up to an incredible 741 commits, over 355 pull requests, and contributions from 28 contributors since the start of the project! We couldn't have done it without you - that's an incredible amount from a project that started with the question "Where can I send my patches?" Here's to another 8 months of awesome.

    What's actually in this release? It's a massive stability and feature release that brings significant improvements to sync performance, client compatiblity, security enhancements, heaps of new features, and much more. We've also completely redesigned our documentation site to make it easier than ever to get started with Continuwuity!

    Important Note

    This release includes a database migration as part of its improvements to legacy sync, which means starting the server will take longer than usual on the first run after updating. The time it will take to run the migration depends on the age of your homeserver, and should not be more than ten minutes at the extreme upper end.

    If you are using systemd to run Continuwuity, systemctl start will appear to hang while the migration is in progress. You may wish to replace the contents of your unit file with the updated file included in the new official packages, which (among other fixes) increases the startup time limit to prevent systemd from killing Continuwuity during the migration.

    Highlights

    Sync Improvements

    We've completely rewritten our legacy (non-sliding) client synchronization code from the ground up, improving perfomance and fixing numerous bugs. You'll notice the increased stability and speed, particularly with initial syncs, which are now over twice as fast and transfer half as much data in some scenarios.

    Leaving rooms is now much more consistent, reducing situations where left rooms could get "stuck" in clients after leaving and improving the appearance of left rooms in clients which support displaying them. Rejecting invites will also now consistently clear them from clients.

    Bundled aggregations are now supported, fixing several subtle bugs across many parts of the protocol, including edits to very old messages and certain cases in end-to-end encryption.

    As for Simplified Sliding Sync, typing indicators are now supported -- you should see those showing up in Element X.

    We've removed legacy sliding sync (MSC3575) in favor of simplified sliding sync - this is what Element X has been using for a year now, and no known consumers of MSC3575 exist.

    New features and bugfixes

    Room version 12 is now stabilized! This release includes a few more fixes for v12 and other room versions, building off of rc8.1.

    Support for policy servers (MSC4284) has been improved with this update, introducing support for policy server signatures and improved error handling.

    Continuwuity now supports returning preferences for EDU opt-out (MSC4373), allowing you to opt-out of recieving typing events and presence updates from compliant servers.

    The last active timestamp is now properly updated when devices request a sync, improving UX in clients which support this field.

    Continuwuity now properly sends notifiations to systemd when systemctl reload is executed, preventing the command from hanging indefinitely.

    Support for Sentry is now enabled by default in release builds, for those who want to log errors to their own instances without compiling Continuwuity themselves.

    Continuwuity now uses Rust 1.90, bringing with it bugfixes and performance improvements for developers.

    First-Party Package Distribution

    We have made available first-party packages for common Linux distributions.

    • Debian packages are now built and distributed through Forgejo's repository.
    • Fedora RPM packages are now available too, distributed the same way.
    • Bleeding-edge Debian and RPM packages built daily from the main branch are also available.
    • Docker images additionally mirrored to Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry (ghcr), and additional registries.

    Configuration Changes

    • New configuration options for policy server controls
    • New configuration option for sync timeline size
    • WAL compression mode can now be configured

    Brand New Documentation Site

    We've completely redesigned our documentation from the ground up! It's got our new branding, a better layout and search support. We're also working on adding and updating our guides - feel free to share what you found helpful.

    Visit us at continuwuity.org to check it out!

    It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's 0.5.0-rc.8.1!

    This is a minor bugfix update to the rc8 which backports some important fixes from the latest main branch. If you still haven't updated to rc8, you should skip to main. Otherwise, you should upgrade to this bugfix release as soon as possible.

    Bugfixes backported to this version (full git changelog):

    • Resolved several issues with state resolution v2.1 (room version 12)
    • Fixed issues with the restricted and knock_restricted join rules that would sometimes incorrectly disallow a valid join
    • Fixed the automatic support contact listing being a no-op
    • Fixed upgrading pre-v12 rooms to v12 rooms
    • Fixed policy servers sending the incorrect JSON objects (resulted in false positives)
    • Fixed debug build panic during MSC4133 migration

    It is recommended, if you can and are comfortable with doing so, following updates to the main branch - we're in the run up to the full 0.5.0 release, and more and more bugfixes and new features are being pushed constantly. Please don't forget to join #announcements:continuwuity.org to receive this news faster and be alerted to other important updates!

    Warning

    This upgrade may not be downgrade-safe, much like rc8 itself - it is recommended you take a database backup before upgrading, just in case.

    Matrix Rooms

    Join our Matrix room and space to chat with us about the project!

    If you run your own continuwuity server, you should also join the announcements room, as important announcements are sent there (and may not be mirrored to the main room).

    Caution

    There are several known critical bugs found in this release that will cause issues with state resolution and restricted joins. It is highly advised you do not use this release unless you already upgraded to it. Instead, track the main branch, which includes a fleet of bugfixes, or stay on rc7 until 0.5.0 is released in the near future.

    If you were previously on this version and upgraded to main because you noticed bugs with kicking/banning/unbanning users or redacting messages, you should use !admin debug force-set-room-state-from-server <room ID> <trusted server that is in the room> to re-set your local state copy to a known good one. RC8 has a tendency to not honour bans and unbans, so if you have been running it for a while, you may have a different, incorrect room state.
    If you need room v12 support, use the latest main branch commit. While this version introduces it, it is very broken!
    This version also bumps the database version, so you cannot downgrade to rc7 without restoring a database backup pre-upgrade.

    Continuwuity is a community-driven fork and continuation of the much-loved conduwuit Matrix homeserver, written entirely in Rust. Today we're releasing v0.5.0-rc.8!

    MSC4155 invite filtering! Full profile fields! Join routing optimisation! LDAP! User suspension via API! It's all in this action-packed thriller update coming to a forge near you! Persons under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

    A lot has happened since rc7 - we've got 30 stars on the main forge, 111 (one hundred and eleven!) stars on the GitHub mirror, and 16 stars on the Codeberg mirror. We also had to unfortunately upgrade our main room, but over two thirds (200) of the previous room made it over! Thanks for sticking with us :)
    Hopefully, this is the final RC release before we release 0.5.0, allowing us to switch back to traditional 0ver versioning. But also here's a big list of everything that happened (also visible on the v0.5.0-rc.8 milestone):]

    New features

    • v12 room support (#943) (known to be very broken in this release)
    • LDAP authentication support (#921)
    • Full MSC4133 profile support (#1034)
    • Suspending users via MSC4323 (#967)
    • MSC4155 invite filtering (#1013)
    • Support providing faster joins (lowers CPU and bandwidth usage when providing a join) (#997)
    • Admin command to allow leaving a room remotely (#956)
    • Allow overriding via-stuffing behaviour (#956 also)

    Bug fixes

    • Update resolv-conf dependency to resolve some jemalloc errors (#1056)
    • Call the policy server later in the PDU creation process (#915)
    • Dropped fake v2 room support (#926)
    • Room leave events are now correctly sent down sync (#959)
    • Preserve image metadata during thumbnailing (#944, #999)

    Security fixes

    • inhibit_login no-longer bypasses suspend-on-register, autojoins, and admin room announcement (reported by #1014, fixed in #1015)

    As before, if you are still running conduwuit 0.4.6 or above, or an older version of continuwuity, you can just drop in this version with no trouble!
    A Docker image is available at forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity:v0.5.0-rc.8. You can always get the latest release with the latest tag. We also mirror to GitLab: registry.gitlab.com/continuwuity/continuwuity

    You can also find binaries attached to this release.

    Caution

    You'll notice that they're named differently from the rc.6 release - we've been having some issues getting static binaries built in time, so we've uploaded dynamic binaries in the meantime. You need to install liburing and have glibc available to run these binaries - we'll get static binaries (and .debs) up soon! When we do, we'll post in the announcements room.

    Matrix Rooms

    Join our Matrix room and space to chat with us about the project!

    If you run your own continuwuity server, you should also join the announcements room, as important announcements are sent there (and may not be mirrored to the main room).

    Continuwuity is a community-driven Matrix homeserver written entirely in Rust. Today we're sharing over a month's worth of work with 177 commits, 35 pull requests and 11 contributors as v0.5.0-rc.7.

    Our main room also reached 300 members, and from our janky measurements, we discovered around 150 publicly federated deployments of Continuwuity. In addition, our GitHub mirror also recently surpassed 60 stars! We can’t thank everyone enough for the support ❤️

    If you are currently running the original conduwuit, you can migrate your existing installation to Continuwuity - just like the last two releases. It's a completely drop-in replacement!

    A Docker image is available at forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity:v0.5.0-rc.7. You can always get the latest release with the latest tag. We're also now mirroring to GitLab at registry.gitlab.com/continuwuity/continuwuity!

    You can also find binaries and packages attached to this release.

    Caution

    You'll notice that they're named differently from the last release - we've been having some issues getting static binaries built in time, so we've uploaded dynamic binaries in the meantime. You need to install liburing and have glibc available to run these binaries - we'll get static binaries (and .debs) up soon! When we do, we'll post in the announcements room.

    Update: We've got debs up now. You'll need to install liburing2 for them to work, and they require Debian Bookworm or newer

    Matrix Rooms

    Join our Matrix room and space to chat with us about the project!

    If you run your own continuwuity server, you should also join the announcements room, as important announcements are sent there (and may not be mirrored to the main room).

    You can boost this post on the Fediverse
    or on Bluesky, and give us a star on GitHub!

    Continuwuity is a community-driven fork and continuation of the much-loved conduwuit Matrix homeserver, written entirely in Rust. Today we're releasing v0.5.0-rc.6!

    We've made knock-restricted rooms work more smoothly, added automatic support contact configuration to help users reach admins when needed, and introduced a welcoming HTML landing page. Behind the scenes, we've improved our infrastructure with comprehensive testing, security policies, and continued updating our documentation.

    We've got more in the pipeline! It's been awesome watching the community come together, and I can't wait to see what's next! -- @Jade

    Continuwuity is a community-driven fork and continuation of the much-loved conduwuit Matrix homeserver, written entirely in Rust. When the original project was archived, a dedicated group of users, developers, and administrators came together, unwilling to let this lightweight homeserver fade away. Today marks the culmination of our initial efforts to breathe new life into the project.

    - the Continuwuity team (@Jade, @nex, @tcpipuk, @Aranjedeath, @morguldir)
