  Continuwuity is a community-driven Matrix chat server, designed to be efficient and easy to run

  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_events and 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_events config 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_client error code when a client requests a grant type it did not register, instead of invalid_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/Caddyfile instead 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-gateway magic address for lk-jwt-service container to loop back to host, instead of the other incomplete/incorrect workarounds.
    Contributed by @stratself
  • Livekit docs: room.auto_create: false is now included in default livekit.yaml, following lk-jwt-service recommendation.
  • Replace deprecated docker-compose commands with docker compose to reflect latest Docker changes.
  • Update backup instructions: the right paths for .sst files 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.
