The release is the outcome of efforts from various contributors and upstream projects, with particular appreciation extended to the translators.
Fractal 11 released
A new version of Fractal numbered Eleven? Stranger things have happened… Features come running up that hill:
- Support for login using the OAuth 2.0 API (as used by matrix.org, which recently made the switch to Matrix Authentication Service)
- Overhaul of the page that lists user sessions, with details moved to subpages, for a less cluttered feel, and allowing to rename sessions!
- Rearranged account settings, with a new Safety tab that includes a setting to toggle media preview visibility
- BlurHashes for images and videos, that are used as placeholders while the media is loading or if the preview is disabled
- Contiguous state events are grouped behind a single item
As usual, this release includes other improvements and fixes thanks to all our contributors, and our upstream projects.
We want to address special thanks to the translators who worked on this version. We know this is a huge undertaking and have a deep appreciation for what you’ve done. If you want to help with this effort, head over to Damned Lies.
This version is available right now on Flathub.
