|
> Here's your weekly spec update! The heart of Matrix is the specification - and this is modified by Matrix Spec Change (MSC) proposals. Learn more about how the process works at <https://spec.matrix.org/proposals>.

>
|
|
> - [MSC4159: Remove the deprecated name attribute on HTML anchor elements](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4159)
|

|
|
>
|
|
> - *No MSCs were closed/rejected this week.*
|
|
>
|
|
> ## Spec Updates
|
|
>
|
|
> Lots of new MSCs this week - thank you to everyone proposing new ideas or clarifications to the spec!
|
|
>
|
|
> We have just one MSC this week from the Tuesday pings. Get it below.
|
|
>
|
|
> - [MSC3572: Relation aggregation cleanup](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3572) (disposition: close)
|
|
> - Since this MSC was written, it has been shown that having (unstable) prefixes in the `unsigned` field of events is useful. Hence the general consensus from the SCT has been to close this MSC as it stands.
|
|
> - Needs 1 checkmark from the SCT (started the week needing 2).

## Dept of VoIP 🤙

[Andrew F](https://matrix.to/#/@andrewf:element.io) announces
|
|
|
|
### VoIP call membership reliability
|
|
|
|
> The VoIP team is hard at work finalizing the foundations of **MatrixRTC**. The current main topic is **"reliable call member state"**, which has many different possible solutions and is very important to get right.
|
|
>
|
|
> We've been making progress, and this week we can share a demo of the first implementation of reliable state, shown in the video below this post.
|
|
>
|
|
> Here's an explanation of the demo:
|
|
>
|
|
> - Two users join a call, and each users' client sends a state event to communicate its membership in that call. The room state is used to render the call participant count.
|
|
>
|
|
> - Then, one of the users forcefully closes its Element Call tab, and cannot send anything to the homeserver anymore.
|
|
> - But, in just a few seconds, the other user sees the call participant count drop. This means the room state was "magically" updated even though the client of the user who left is disconnected!
|
|
>
|
|
> Why this is so important and how this is achieved can be found in the Matrix Live video of this week (at the top of this TWIM entry).
|
|
>
|
|
> For the technical details on how the demo works, see [MSC4140](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4140) for the basis of its implementation of the participant count cleanup.
