## Room Version 6, Client-Server r0.6.1, and Federation r0.1.4 spec releases
|
|
|
|
Hey all,
|
|
|
|
It's been [a little while](https://matrix.org/blog/2019/11/08/client-server-r-0-6-0-and-identity-service-r-0-3-0-releases) since we've done a spec release, so here we are with [Room Version 6](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/rooms/v6), [Client-Server r0.6.1](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1), and [Federation r0.1.4](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/server_server/r0.1.4).
|
|
|
|
Room Version 6 (and the associated Federation r0.1.4 release) is largely something for implementations to worry about. It contains new event authorisation rules, changes to the redaction algorithm, and stricter compliance for JSON.
|
|
|
|
Client-Server r0.6.1 contains a number of clarifications as well as SSO support for authorisation, "soft logout" to avoid needlessly destroying e2e history, and new ways to publish aliases within rooms.
|
|
|
|
If you're wondering where all the E2E-by-default related MSCs are - we're doing final iterations based on the real-world feedback from the E2E-by-default launch a few weeks ago, and they are then expected to land in the upcoming Client-Server r0.7.
|
|
|
|
