This was a quieter month, so there aren't that many exciting changes. Various bridges got bugfixes, Meowlnir got a bunch of new commands and gomuks can now create rooms. Read more...

Meowlnir has a bunch of new features and gomuks received support for widgets & Element Call. The Meta bridge received an experimental fix for missing user profiles in encrypted chats, but most other bridge changes were minor. Read more...

This month's highlight is the new history transfer feature on Signal, which is now supported in the bridge. Read more...

Most bridges didn't have any significant changes over the holidays, so only Signal and Twitter have new releases. I accidentally became an Android developer and made a GeckoView wrapper for gomuks web. Read more...

There's a Wails wrapper for gomuks web now, plus mobile optimization and a lot of features. A new Bluesky bridge was released, and the Twitter bridge was upgraded to a megabridge. Read more...

This month's bridge releases mostly include bugfixes. On the non-bridge side, gomuks web is progressing quickly. Read more...

As expected, WhatsApp has been upgraded to a megabridge. Other bridges have received minor bugfixes, but nothing too exciting. In non-bridge news, hicli has finally progressed again. Read more...

As mentioned in last month's release post, the Google Messages and Meta bridges have been upgraded to megabridges. As a bonus surprise, there's now a Google Voice bridge as well. Read more...

All mautrix bridges are primarily meant for puppeting, which means users need to log into the bridges with their credentials. The difficulty of doing that varies by network: some just require scanning a QR code, while others require logging into the official website and grabbing cookies using browser devtools. Read more...

As always, this month's releases happened on the 16th. Highly unusually, this month's releases included most of the bridges, including the Python ones that don't follow release schedules. This is because all bridges needed to be updated to gain support for authenticated media added in Matrix v1.11 (more specifically MSC3916). Read more...

In this post, I'll go over all the steps necessary to build a Twilio bridge using the new bridgev2 module in mautrix-go. The whole bridge can be found at github.com/mautrix/twilio. Read more...

I haven't been posting on TWIM for a long time and too many things have piled up to post everything in TWIM. This post recaps the potentially interesting things that I've worked on in the past ~half a year. Read more...
