In a recent Matrix blog post dated November 24, they wrote:
“Matrix 1.9 is due out next week. Keep your eyes peeled for an update.”
This means that we can expect the new version this week. All new features are described here.
The most important are:
- Role-Based Access Control
- Account locking (by server admins) [MSC3939]
- Official spec support for custom emojis and stickers [MSC2545/MSC1951/MSC3892/MSC4027]
I am so excited especially about the custom emojis! Stay tuned 😎
For those who don’t know what the hell is Matrix:
Matrix defines a set of open APIs for decentralised communication, suitable for securely publishing, persisting and subscribing to data over a global open federation of servers with no single point of control. Uses include Instant Messaging (IM), Voice over IP (VoIP) signalling, Internet of Things (IoT) communication, and bridging together existing communication silos - providing the basis of a new open real-time communication ecosystem.
Why not post it on [email protected] as well?
Matrix seems like a great idea but the mobile clients are horrible
Have you heard of Element X?
Yes, it’s the least horrible app, but still not that great. I tried the new version of element as well and it’s even worse, lol.
I’m pretty satisfied with Fluffy but the clients do still need a lot of work indeed.

Yeah, it’s just the spec, not a finished implementation.
