Matrix at Fosdem 2019

The big news is that we released r0.1 of Matrix’s Server-Server API late on Friday night – our first ever formal stable release of Matrix’s Federation API, having addressed the core of the issues which have kept Federation in beta thus far. All that remains before we declare Matrix out of beta is to release updates of the CS API (0.5) and possibly the IS API (0.2) and then we can formally declare the overall combination as Matrix 1.0

We spoke about SS API r0.1 at length in our main stage FOSDEM talk on Saturday – as well as showing off the Riot Redesign, the E2E Encryption Endgame and giving an update on the French Government deployment of Matrix and the focus it’s given us on finally shipping Matrix 1.0! Then, on Sunday we had the opportunity to have a quick 20 minute talk in the Real Time Comms dev room, where we gave a tour of some of the work we’ve been doing recently to scale Matrix down to working on incredibly low bandwidth networks (100bps or less).
