Fractal 11, the latest iteration of the Matrix messaging application designed for the GNOME desktop environment, has officially launched. This version introduces several significant enhancements, most notably improved login capabilities via the OAuth 2.0 API, which aligns with the recent transition of matrix.org to the Matrix Authentication Service.
In addition to the new login feature, Fractal 11 presents a redesigned user session list. The update streamlines the user interface by moving detailed information to subpages, providing a cleaner look and even allowing users to rename their sessions. The account settings have also been reorganized, now featuring a new Safety tab that offers a toggle for media preview visibility, enhancing user control over content display.
Moreover, the application has implemented BlurHashes for images and videos, which serve as placeholders while media loads or if previews are disabled, thus improving the user experience. The update further groups related state events under a single item, making it easier to navigate.
This release showcases the collaborative effort of various contributors and upstream projects, with a heartfelt acknowledgment of the translators whose hard work has significantly contributed to this version. Their dedication is recognized as a vital part of making Fractal accessible to a broader audience.
Fractal 11 is now available for download on Flathub, allowing users to easily access the latest features and improvements.
In summary, Fractal 11 not only enhances user experience with its new features and improved interface but also emphasizes community collaboration and accessibility through translation efforts. Future updates could potentially focus on enhancing security features or integrating additional third-party services to further enrich the user experience
