  v26.8.1 Stable

  Jade released this 2026-08-22 23:57:24 +00:00 | 76 commits to main since this release

  Signed by Jade

  GPG key ID: 8705A2A3EBF77BD2

  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.

  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 26.7.1

  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_sources as a multiple options variant of request_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 create being 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_id query parameters in a request. The stable parameter will take priority. Contributed by @ginger.
  • Fixed roomuserid_lastnotificationread being 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 Error when the header selected by request_ip_source is absent, duplicated, or malformed (for example Envoy omitting X-Envoy-External-Address on 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_automatic is enabled and no TTY is available. Contributed by @s1lv3r. (#1975)
  • Fixed global.oauth.compatibility_mode being 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-account to reactivate them.

  EDU stands for Evil Data Unit

  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_localpart was false. (#1942)
  • Authentication is no longer required on the /_matrix/client/v3/account/3pid/email/requestToken endpoint. (#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_source option 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.link RPM 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-invites to 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-pdu command was updated to disambiguate event acceptance status, and
    !admin debug show-auth-chain was added to visually display event auth chains, which may assist
    developers in debugging strangely complex events.

    Contributed by @nex. (#1747)

  • 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-haswell package, separating it from max-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-at command (#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_after feature, 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_deactivation config option. Contributed by @ginger.

  Bugfixes

  • Adjusted legacy sync logic to allow the roomsynctoken_shortstatehash database 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-get not 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}/upgrade endpoint. 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_size affects 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 the local_user_count and version routes. These routes are still accessible under the /_continuwuity prefix.
  • Support for server-side blurhashing (part of MSC2448) has been removed.
  • The deprecated well_known.rtc_focus_server_urls config option has been removed. MatrixRTC foci should be configured using the matrix_rtc.foci config 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

  This release is a security bugfix release based on v0.5.9 - it does not incorporate any new features or other changes pushed into main since v0.5.8. If you want new features, you should track the main branch instead - we'll be releasing a new major version with shiny new features soon!

  Security

  • Fixed a bug that allowed a remote server to send to-device messages to a non-local user. Reported by echoray.
  • Fixed a bug that allowed local users to request URL previews of explicitly forbidden domains. Reported by echoray.
  • Fixed a bug that permitted authentication as a dehydrated device. Reported by @stratself.

  Important

  Security patches were after this alpha was released - please use the main branch instead of this release, as it does not have those fixes.

  Hey all,

  This is a prerelease for people who want to test out what's coming for the next release. Right now the major differences to check are the ruma refactoring (#1656), which changes pretty much everything, a modification to the sync endpoint that should halt database growth (#1795) and event rejection + state reset fixes (#1747).

  Also of note is #1487, removal of LDAP support, #1710, #1807. There are of course many more changes (fragments are kept in the changelog.d directory)

  Please test these changes, and let us know about any new bugs or regressions. We've got several more major changes in the queue to merge before release!

  Best,
  Jade
