    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 ❤️

    Features

    • Policy server following: Continuwuity now checks events against a room's policy server (if configured) to prevent spam reaching your timeline #857 (@nex)

    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.

    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!
