v0.5.0

Release post: https://mau.fi/blog/2024-09-mautrix-release/

• Bumped minimum Go version to 1.22.
• Rewrote bridge using bridgev2 architecture.
  • It is recommended to check the config file after upgrading. If you have prevented the bridge from writing to the config, you should update it manually.

v0.4.3

• Added support for new protocol version in Google account pairing.
• Added support for handling messages being modified, e.g. full-res media arriving later than the thumbnail.
  • This may or may not cover actual RCS edits if/when those are rolled out.

v0.4.2

Note: this release has a bug handling replies in encrypted rooms from clients that don't use mautrix-go or matrix-rust-sdk. Element Web with Rust crypto and Element X should work fine, but other clients likely won't. It is recommended to skip this release if you use end-to-bridge encryption with such clients.

• Added error message if phone doesn't send echo for outgoing message in time.
• Added better error messages for some message send failures.
• Added logging for RPC request and response IDs.
• Fixed sending messages incorrectly forcing RCS in some cases causing failures (e.g. when using dual SIM and sending from a SIM with RCS disabled).
• Fixed ping loop getting stuck (and therefore not keeping the connection alive) if the first ping never responds.
• Removed unnecessary sleep after Google account pairing.

v0.4.1

• Added support for sending captions.
  • Note that RCS doesn't support captions yet, so sending captions in RCS chats will cause weirdness. Captions should work in MMS chats.
• Fixed frequent disconnections when using Google account pairing with an email containing uppercase characters.
• Fixed some cases of spam messages being bridged even after Google's filter caught them.

v0.4.0

• Added automatic detection and workarounds for cases where the app stops sending new messages to the bridge.
• Improved participant deduplication and extended it to cover groups too instead of only DMs.
• Fixed some cases of Google account pairing not working correctly.
• Fixed database errors related to ghosts after switching phones or clearing data on phone (caused by the ghost avatar fix in 0.3.0).

v0.3.0

• Bumped minimum Go version to 1.21.
• Added support for pairing via Google account.
  • See docs for instructions.
  • There are no benefits to using this method, it still requires your phone to be online. Google Fi cloud sync is still not supported.
• Added deduplication for DM participants, as Google randomly sends duplicate participant entries sometimes.
• Added voice message conversion.
• Changed custom image reactions to be bridged as :custom: instead of a UUID. Google Messages for Web doesn't support fetching the actual image yet.
• Fixed sending reactions breaking for some users.
• Fixed ghost user avatars not being reset properly when switching phones or clearing data on phone.

v0.2.4

• Fixed panic handling read receipts if the user isn't connected.
• Fixed some error states being persisted and not being cleared properly if the user logs out and back in.

v0.2.3

• Added error notice if user switches to google account pairing.

v0.2.2

No notable changes.

v0.2.1

• Added notice messages to management room if phone stops responding.
• Fixed all Matrix event handling getting blocked by read receipts in some cases.
• Fixed panic if editing Matrix message fails.
