# Fractal
|
||||
|
||||
Fractal is a Matrix messaging app for GNOME written in Rust. Its interface is optimized for
|
||||
collaboration in large groups, such as free software projects.
|
||||
collaboration in large groups, such as free software projects, and will fit all screens, big or small.

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Work in Progress
|
||||
Highlights:
|
||||
|
||||
Up until the 4.4 series, Fractal was built with GTK 3 and used its own implementation of the Matrix
|
||||
API. With the availability of the [matrix-rust-sdk](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk)
|
||||
and [GTK 4](https://www.gtk.org/), the technological landscape had changed enough that a full
|
||||
rewrite made more sense than simply trying to port the complex codebase that we had. That effort
|
||||
started in March 2021 and the result is the current [Fractal 5 beta](#beta-version) (and
|
||||
[nightly](#development-version)).
|
||||
|
||||
You can follow along our progress towards the stable release by looking at the
|
||||
[Fractal 5](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/fractal/-/milestones/18) milestone.
|
||||
* Find rooms to discuss your favorite topics, or talk privately to people, securely thanks to end-to-end encryption
|
||||
* Send rich formatted messages, files, or your current location
|
||||
* Reply to specific messages, react with emoji, edit or remove messages
|
||||
* View images, and play audio and video directly in the conversation
|
||||
* See who has read messages, and who is typing
|
||||
* Log into multiple accounts at once (with Single-Sign On support)

<p>Fractal 5.rc1 is the first release candidate since the rewrite of
|
||||
Fractal to take advantage of GTK 4 and the Matrix Rust SDK, an effort
|
||||
that started in March 2021.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The most notable changes since Fractal 5.beta2, that was released 2
|
||||
months ago, are:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Fractal 5 is a full rewrite compared to Fractal 4, that now leverages GTK 4, libadwaita,
|
||||
and the Matrix Rust SDK. The two-and-a-half-year effort brings a new interface that fits
|
||||
all screens, big 🖥️ or small 📱, but should still look familiar to users of earlier versions.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
It still offers the same old features you know and love, with a few additions.
|
||||
Highlights (<em>italics</em> is new✨ in 5):
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>An awesome new look thanks to libadwaita 1.4</li>
|
||||
<li>Read receipts tracking has been largely improved thanks to some
|
||||
upstream work in the Matrix Rust SDK</li>
|
||||
<li>The same upstream work allows to have much better tracking of the
|
||||
activity in the rooms list</li>
|
||||
<li>The full lists of read receipts and reactions on messages can be
|
||||
perused in popovers</li>
|
||||
<li>Destructive actions like removing a message or leaving a room now
|
||||
ask for confirmation</li>
|
||||
<li>The most noticeable performance issues and memory leaks were fixed
|
||||
to make Fractal run as smoothly as ever</li>
|
||||
<li>Find rooms to discuss your favorite topics, or talk privately to people, securely thanks to <em>end-to-end encryption</em></li>
|
||||
<li>Send rich formatted messages, files, or <em>your current location</em></li>
|
||||
<li><em>Reply</em> to specific messages, <em>react</em> with emoji, <em>edit</em> or remove messages</li>
|
||||
<li>View images, and play audio and video directly in the conversation</li>
|
||||
<li>See <em>who has read messages</em>, and who is typing</li>
|
||||
<li>Log into <em>multiple accounts</em> at once (with <em>Single-Sign On</em> support)</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This list is far from complete and hides more enhancements, including
|
||||
bug fixes and new translations thanks to all our contributors, and our
|
||||
upstream projects.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As the version implies, if we don’t find any major bug in the next 2
|
||||
weeks, our next release should be the long-awaited Fractal 5 stable
|
||||
version!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In the meantime, if you want to fix bugs, implement new features, or
|
||||
any other kind of contribution, you can get inspired by taking a look
|
||||
at our issues tracker on GitLab. Any help is greatly appreciated!</p>
