  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

  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

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

  This release is a security bugfix release based on v0.5.8 - it does not incorporate any new features or other changes pushed into main since v0.5.8.

  Security

  • 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)
  • Fixed a bug that caused the server to panic while handling transactions with malformed events, resulting in a deadlock that prevented the remote server from federating with us until the server was restarted. Contributed by @nex.
  • Fixed a bug that resulted in the m.federate field of m.room.create being ignored in v12 rooms, allowing remote servers to participate in local-only rooms. Contributed by @nex, reported by @mat:emzee.ee.

  working on it, may take 6 years

  Surprise! This is a patch release (semver isn't real and can't hurt us) to fix a bug with email support that could cause the database to get mangled. If you're running a public Continuwuity homeserver with email configured, you should update as soon as possible. Besides that. room version 12 is now the default for new rooms, and LDAP has gained support for StartTLS.

  (fedi announcement)

  Features

  • LDAP can now optionally be connected to using StartTLS, and you may unsafely skip verification. Contributed by @getz (#1389)
  • Users will now be prevented from removing their email if the server is configured to require an email when registering an account.

  Bugfixes

  • Fixed a situation where multiple email addresses could be erroneously associated with one user in the database when that user changes their email address, causing email features to behave inconsistently.

  Improved Documentation

  • Updated config docs to state we support room version 12, and set it as default. Contributed by @ezera. (#1622)
  • Improve instructions for generic deployments, removing unnecessary parts and documenting the new initial registration token flow. Contributed by @stratself (#1677)

  @maintainers continuwuity won't let me reset my password on IE9

  Hi everyone! It's been a hot minute since the last release, but we're back - with a bunch of pretty awesome features.
  The headline feature for this release is email support! You can now add an email to your account, reset your password, require verification for sign up and so on. To complement that, you can also now require users to accept terms & conditions before registering. Notification pushers are now automatically removed when a device logs out, saving your server resources, too.

  We've also got some fun new options - you can deprioritise specific slow servers when joining a room, and you can tell search engines they're not allowed to index your instance's homepage. Registration tokens can be read from a file again, too. On top of that, binaries now expose more information about how they were built to you in admin commands, and you can reset the push rules of a user in case they get messed up.

  We've also got a lot of bug fixes, which should express themselves as more reliable room joins, less logged errors, and changing your displayname and avatar no longer failing in specific cases. Also less ways to accidentally break your server, which is always good.

  (announcement on fedi)

  Features

  • Re-added support for reading registration tokens from a file. Contributed by @ginger and @benbot. (#1371)
  • Add new config option to allow or disallow search engine indexing through a <meta ../> tag. Defaults to blocking indexing (content="noindex"). Contributed by @s1lv3r and @ginger. (#1527)
  • Add new config option for MSC4439
    PGP key URIs. Contributed by LogN. (#1609)
  • Added !admin users reset-push-rules command to reset the notification settings of users. Contributed by @nex. (#1613)
  • Notification pushers are now automatically removed when their associated device is. Admin commands now exist for manual cleanup too. Contributed by @nex. (#1614)
  • Implemented option to deprioritize servers for room join requests. Contributed by @ezera. (#1624)
  • Added admin commands to get build information and features. Contributed by @Jade (#1629)
  • Added support for associating email addresses with accounts, requiring email addresses for registration, and resetting passwords via email. Contributed by @ginger
  • Added support for requiring users to accept terms and conditions when registering.
  • Added support for using an admin command to issue self-service password reset links.

  Bugfixes

  • Fixed corrupted appservice registrations causing the server to enter a crash loop. Contributed by @nex. (#1265)
  • Prevent removing the admin room alias (#admins) to avoid accidentally breaking admin room functionality. Contributed by @0xnim (#1448)
  • Stripped join_authorised_via_users_server from json if user is already in room (@partha:cxy.run) (#1542)
  • Fixed internal server errors for fetching thumbnails. Contributed by @PerformativeJade (#1572)
  • Fixed error 500 when joining non-existent rooms. Contributed by @ezera. (#1579)
  • Refactored nix package. Breaking, since all-features package no longer exists. Continuwuity is now built with jemalloc and liburing by default. Contributed by @Henry-Hiles (QuadRadical). (#1596)
  • Fixed resolving IP of servers that only use SRV delegation. Contributed by @tulir. (#1615)
  • Fixed "Sender must be a local user" error for make_join, make_knock, and make_leave federation routes. Contributed by @nex. (#1623)
  • Fixed restricted joins not being signed when we are being used as an authorising server. Contributed by @nex, reported by vel. (#1630)
  • Fixed room alias deletion so removing one local alias no longer removes other aliases from room alias listings.
  • Stopped left rooms from being unconditionally sent on initial sync, hopefully fixing spurious appearances of left rooms in some clients (and making sync faster as a bonus). Contributed by @ginger
  • Corrected the response field name for MatrixRTC transports. Contributed by @spaetz

  Improved Documentation

  • Added Testing and Troubleshooting instructions for Livekit documentation. Contributed by @stratself. (#1429)
  • Refactored docker docs to include new initial token workflow, and add Caddyfile example. Contributed by @stratself. (#1594)
  • Add DNS tuning guide for Continuwuity. Users are recommended to set up a local caching resolver following the guide's advice. Contributed by @stratself (#1601)

  no, federation drug will kill the patient! she needs soft fails to live!

  Aaaand we're back, just long enough to haunt the release notes! This time we've got a couple of small security improvements, as well as improvements to federation performance & reliability, a fix to being unable to decrypt messages sent while you were logged out of all devices and disabling outbound presence by default - which should cause a reduction in CPU usage on many people's servers.

  We've had a massive amount of community contribution, so much that it's hard to keep up with it all! Thank you to everyone who has contributed – we're working our way through open PRs. It might take some time to get all the new changes incorporated, especially with our reduced capacity right now.

  Please reshare the announcement on the Fediverse and on Bluesky, and consider giving us a star on github :3

  Security

  • Admin escape commands (\\!admin in rooms other than the admin room) recieved over federation will never be executed, as this is never valid in a genuine situation. Contributed by @Jade. This is a followup enhancement to further improve the resilliance to attacks similar to CVE-2026-24471 and CVE-2025-68667.
  • Fixed data amplification vulnerability (CWE-409) that affected configurations with server-side compression enabled (non-default). Contributed by @nex.

  Features

  • Outgoing presence is now disabled by default, and the config option documentation has been adjusted to more accurately represent the weight of presence, typing indicators, and read receipts. Contributed by @nex. (#1399)
  • Improved the concurrency handling of federation transactions, vastly improving performance and reliability by more accurately handling inbound transactions and reducing the amount of repeated wasted work. Contributed by @nex and @Jade. (#1428)
  • Added MSC3202 Device masquerading (not all of MSC3202). This should fix issues with enabling MSC4190 for some Mautrix bridges. Contributed by @Jade (#1435)
  • Added MSC3814 Dehydrated Devices - you can now decrypt messages sent while all devices were logged out. (#1436)
  • Implement MSC4143 MatrixRTC transport discovery endpoint. Move RTC foci configuration from [global.well_known] to a new [global.matrix_rtc] section with a foci field. Contributed by @0xnim (#1442)
  • Updated list-backups admin command to output one backup per line. (#1394)
  • Improved URL preview fetching with a more compatible user agent for sites like YouTube Music. Added !admin media delete-url-preview <url> command to clear cached URL previews that were stuck and broken. (#1434)

  Bugfixes

  • Removed non-compliant nor functional room alias lookups over federation. Contributed by @nex (#1393)
  • Removed ability to set rocksdb as read only. Doing so would cause unintentional and buggy behaviour. Contributed by @Terryiscool160. (#1418)
  • Fixed a startup crash in the sender service if we can't detect the number of CPU cores, even if the sender_workers config option is set correctly. Contributed by @katie. (#1421)
  • Removed the allow_public_room_directory_without_auth config option. Contributed by @0xnim. (#1441)
  • Fixed sliding sync v5 list ranges always starting from 0, causing extra rooms to be unnecessarily processed and returned. Contributed by @0xnim (#1445)
  • Fixed a bug that (repairably) caused a room split between continuwuity and non-continuwuity servers when the room had both m.room.policy and org.matrix.msc4284.policy in its room state. Contributed by @nex (#1481)
  • Fixed !admin media delete --mxc <url> responding with an error message when the media was deleted successfully. Contributed by @lynxize
  • Fixed spurious 404 media errors in the logs. Contributed by @benbot.
  • Fixed spurious warn about needed backfill via federation for non-federated rooms. Contributed by @kraem.
