[Andrew Morgan (anoa) {he/him}](https://matrix.to/#/@andrewm:element.io) says
|
||
|
||
> 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>.
|
||
>
|
||
>
|
||
> ### MSC Status
|
||
>
|
||
> **New MSCs:**
|
||
> * [Comparison of proposals for ignoring invites](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4192)
|
||
> * [MSC4191: Account management deep-linking](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4191)
|
||
> * [MSC4190: Device management for application services](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4190)
|
||
>
|
||
> **MSCs in Final Comment Period:**
|
||
> * *No MSCs are in FCP.*
|
||
>
|
||
> **Accepted MSCs:**
|
||
> * *No MSCs were accepted this week.*
|
||
>
|
||
> **Closed MSCs:**
|
||
> * [MSC4018: Reliable call membership](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4018)
|
||
> * Succeeded by [MSC4140: Cancellable delayed events](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4140).
|
||
>
|
||
> ### Spec Updates
|
||
>
|
||
> A further call to developers, protocol designers, and future MSC writers to attend the ["Authenticated media & how to ship spec features"](https://cfp.matrix.org/matrixconf2024/talk/P9KPFG/) and [MSC Process Guidance](https://cfp.matrix.org/matrixconf2024/talk/VJVF3T/) talks in LAB 4 at this year's Matrix Conference! We'll be discussing the spec process itself, as well as how large features (and breaking changes in the spec) get designed, developed, and deployed with support from the MSC process.
|
||
>
|
||
> If you're thinking about how to get your idea for a feature out in the hands of users, these talks are for you!

|
||
|
||
> Super super early preview for the new extensible profiles MSC.
|
||
>
|
||
> I know that a lot of you have patiently waited for *years* for Matrix to support custom profile keys, and I'm glad to say we're getting very close to living the dream now :). The spec for extending profiles with keys [MSC4133](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4133) is progressing at pace, and we've got several implementations to back it up now.
|
||
>
|
||
> Element Web has [merged support](https://github.com/element-hq/matrix-react-sdk/pull/20) for [MSC4175](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4175), which allows you to share and display a timezone. If you are running a server with MSC4133 / extensible profiles support configured, then this will be available to you (in a later E Web version).
|
||
>
|
||
> I am **very** excited that this is finally starting to gain traction as it has the potential to unblock many use cases, like biographys in profiles / pronouns or anything else we can dream up.
|
||
>
|
||
> Special thanks to Tom Foster [he/him] and clokep for progressing it to this point, and to the EWeb team for taking time out of their busy schedules to review the work too.

> This week we released [v1.115.0rc2](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/releases/tag/v1.115.0rc2). Here are a few of the highlights:
|
||
>
|
||
> * Improve cross-signing upload when using [MSC3861](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3861) (Next-generation auth for Matrix) to use a custom UIA flow stage, with web fallback support. ([\#17509](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17509))
|
||
> * Fix authenticated media responses using a wrong limit when following redirects over federation. ([\#17626](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17626))
|
||
> * Stabilise [MSC4156](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4156) (Migrate `server_name` to `via`) by removing the `msc4156_enabled` config setting and defaulting it to `true`. ([\#17650](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17650))
|
||
> * A bunch of improvements for sliding sync support

|
||
> * Support for authenticated media ([MSC3916](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3916)) has been added 🎉
|
||

|

|

> and may behave weirdly, so if you see any issues with it,
|
||
> please feel free to open up issues(and to potentially

|

> Һаумыһығыҙ! Здравствуйте! Hello! こんにちは！
|
||
>
|
||
> During this week, Extera got some changes. Because it's school time, Extera isn't updated often.
|
||
>
|
||
> But nevermind, following things happened to Extera:
|
||
> * Media caching in Android app. Extera now caches Matrix Media via Service Worker.
|
||
> * Faster loading Profile button.
|
||
> * Wallpapers are now saved locally, not on Matrix server
|
||
>
|
||
> Here is what will be done during this month (aka Upcoming features):
|
||
> * Background media player. Ability to put media files into floating window or manage playback via notification.
|
||
> * Censorship bypass mode (Android build only). We will embed V2Ray/X-Ray into Extera and use free proxies from GitHub.
|
||
> * Call redesign on Android. It will look like in Telegram app.
|
||
>
|
||
> Also, Extera.xyz got 12 registrations this month!

Cinny is a Matrix client focused on simplicity, elegance and security
|
||
|
||
[Lozenge](https://matrix.to/#/@kfiven:matrix.org) announces
|
||
|
||
> Cinny v4.2.0
|
||
>
|
||
> This release add support for Authenticated media (special thanks to [@shadowrz:nixos.dev](https://matrix.to/#/@shadowrz:nixos.dev) for leading the change), basic support for threads (added by [@greentore:pettan.cc](https://matrix.to/#/@greentore:pettan.cc)) and many bugs fixes. This release also laid foundations for the work on making the app support multiple languages (thanks to [@aceart.de:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/@aceart.de:matrix.org)).
|
||
>
|
||
> NOTE: For the media to work, please reload the app multiple times after updating to v4.2.0. Sometimes you might need to close the app or browser and reopen to make it work. As we have setup service worker to make authenticated media work, this is intended as service workers require refreshes after registering for first time.
|
||
>
|
||
> We are going to do another release for service worker to work on cinny-desktop at 14 Sept 2024 at 13:00 UTC. For service worker to work on Tauri app we need to change custom `tauri:` protocol with `http:` which means the existing sessions will lost and you will have to login again. If you are not using online key-backup for encryption keys, please backup your keys before upgrading.

## Dept of Widgets 🧩
|
||
|
||
[Milton Moura](https://matrix.to/#/@miltonmoura:matrix.org) announces
|
||
|
||
> ### NeoBoard Widget v1.19.0
|
||
>
|
||
> Version 1.19.0 of NeoBoard has so much new stuff it's scary! Here are some of the highlights you should know about:
|
||
>
|
||
> * Image Uploads and Authenticated Media
|
||
> * New ways to add slides
|
||
> * Enhanced tools & hotkeys
|
||
> * Many other optimisations and bug fixes
|
||
>
|
||
> Checkout the details below!
|
||
>
|
||
> #### Image Uploads and Authenticated Media
|
||
>
|
||
> The possibility to add images to your slides has been under a feature flag since [v1.15.0](https://github.com/nordeck/matrix-neoboard/releases/tag/v1.15.0). We have now removed the feature flag and have complete support for adding PNG, JPEG, GIF and SVG files to your slides. This also includes:
|
||
>
|
||
> * Import and export your boards with images included
|
||
> * Export your slides to PDF with images included
|
||
> * Drag and drop images to the board for uploading
|
||
>
|
||
> Because NeoBoard uses the Matrix [Content Repository API](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.11/client-server-api/#content-repository) to upload and store images, the recent changes regarding [Authenticated Media](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3916) meant that we had to extend the existing Widget API to also include file downloads. As such, [MSC4039](https://github.com/nordeck/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/nic/feat/widgetapi-upload-files/proposals/4039-widget-api-media.md) was enhanced to support this and soon after [Widget API](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-widget-api/releases/tag/v1.9.0), [WIdget API Toolkit](https://github.com/nordeck/matrix-widget-toolkit/releases/tag/%40matrix-widget-toolkit%2Fapi%403.4.0) and the [React SDK](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/pull/12931) were updated.
|
||
>
|
||
> So this release adds support for uploading images to homeservers with Authenticated Media enabled using the latest [Element Web v1.11.77](https://github.com/element-hq/element-web/releases/tag/v1.11.77) but also makes sure other users don't miss out, by providing a fallback for older client and homeserver versions.
|
||
>
|
||
> #### New ways to add slides
|
||
>
|
||
> Importing an existing external NeoBoard file replaces your full slide deck. But now we support inserting it into any position of your current presentation, with "Import Here", which makes it easier for you to build a slide template library and reuse them when designing presentations.
|
||
>
|
||
> We also have added the option to insert a new blank slide between any existing slides, along with adding to the end of the deck.
|
||
>
|
||
> #### Enhanced tools and hotkeys
|
||
>
|
||
> We have introduced a new enhanced colour palette, where for each color you can choose between a set of 7 shades, allowing for even more creative slide designs. We have also introduced rounded shapes and one-click shape placement, for a quicker editing flow.
|
||
>
|
||
> On that note, we have also added hotkeys for toggling text styles (CTRL+B for bold, CTRL-I for italic) and slide navigation with the left and right arrows when in presentation mode.
|
||
>
|
||
> #### Optimisations and bug fixes
|
||
>
|
||
> As usual, we try to improve existing features and fix bugs whenever we can. Check out the [full changelog](https://github.com/nordeck/matrix-neoboard/releases/tag/%40nordeck%2Fmatrix-neoboard-widget%401.19.0) for a more detailed report of what else has changed.
|
||
>
|
||
> #### Try it now
|
||
>
|
||
> You can add **NeoBoard** as a widget to one of your rooms right now by [following these instructions](https://nordeck.github.io/matrix-neoboard) .
|
||
>
|
||
> We invite you to try all of this and would love to get some feedback at [#nordeck:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#nordeck:matrix.org).
|
||
>
|
||
> See you at the Matrix Conference next week! We will be sharing even more exciting news there!

> While working on our new AI chatbot ([baibot](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot)), we found the need for a higher level wrapper around [matrix-rust-sdk](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk).
|
||
>
|
||
> We initially considered [headjack](https://github.com/arcuru/headjack), but found it too opinionated and lacking in robustness (especially when it comes to handling encryption recovery keys, etc.)
|
||
>
|
||
> This provoked us to write our own library (`mxlink`), licensed under LGPLv3.

Over time, we identified several areas where small tweaks and enhancements could improve the user experience.
|
||
>
|
||
> Little by little, we'be been making improvements or adopting and reworking existing upstream PRs, which have been stuck in review for long.
|
||
> We're hoping that all our changes will eventually be accepted upstream and will make our fork obsolete.

|

|

|
||
> ### Matrix Conference & Call for Slides
|
||
>
|
||
> We are very excited that The Matrix Conference starts next week! It will take place in person in Berlin, Germany. To make it as accessible as possible for everyone, all the talks from all 3 stages are going to be recorded and streamed live! Beyond that, Q&A will not be limited to those present but also through the chat rooms of the Conference Matrix Space: [#matrix-conference-2024:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#matrix-conference-2024:matrix.org)
|
||
>
|
||
> There will be a bit of downtime on the projectors and stream between talks, and we want to fill it with your community contributions: Send us a slide about your Matrix project for a chance to have it appear on stream during a break! Slides should be 1920x1080 pixels large JPG or PNG pictures and submitted to the Matrix room [#matrix-conf-screen-slides:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#matrix-conf-screen-slides:matrix.org). The conference media team reserves the right to select or reject submissions as deemed appropriate.

[clokep](https://matrix.to/#/@clokep:matrix.org) announces
|
||
|
||
> My [homeserver-spec-versions](https://patrick.cloke.us/homeserver-spec-versions/) dashboard which displays information on spec version supported by different homeservers (and how long it takes homeserver implementations to support each spec version) has had a bunch of updates in the past ~6 months:
|
||
>
|
||
> * It now includes supported spec versions, room versions & the default room version for each homeserver.
|
||
> * It now defaults to showing information based on release date, not commit date, which is more useful for homeserver operators.
|
||
> * You can zoom, tooltips are improved, and other odds and ends were fixed.
|
||
> * A separate [timeline](https://patrick.cloke.us/homeserver-spec-versions/timeline.html) view shows a family tree of forked homeservers.
|
||
> * A bunch more homeservers were added, although most are alpha/pre-alpha stage.
|
||

|
||
> If you see anything missing or incorrect feel free to reach out or [file an issue](https://github.com/clokep/homeserver-spec-versions/issues/new).
