In the newest version, when launching the app, you will get a welcome page that lets you choose which account you want to use and lets you log in to other accounts. The welcome screen will also warn you when NeoChat cannot load an account.

NeoChat will also let you register a new account directly from the app itself. Deactivating your Matrix account is also possible from within NeoChat.

Spaces are a relatively new feature of Matrix that let you group chat channels together. This is used to improve the discoverability of rooms, manage large communities, or just tidy all the channels you are in. You can now do all this without leaving NeoChat.

NeoChat won't let you miss any new notifications anymore. We added a new page that includes all your recent notifications and when NeoChat is closed, you will still be able to receive push notifications. The main timeline will let you know when more messages are loading and when you reach the end of it.

We have also improved the video controls, added a new command /knock <room-id> to send a knock event to a room, and you can now edit a prior message inline, within the chat pane.

Other usability improvements include an overhaul of the keyboard navigation and shortcuts like Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn that allow you to skip from room to room.

NeoChat 1.2 brings a major redesign of the user interface. The chat page is now using bubbles for the messages and the input component was completely rewritten with a nicer look as well.

It's now possible to send custom reactions by replying to a comment with /react <message>.

NeoChat now supports opening Matrix URIs from your browser.

Probably the highlight of this release is the completely new login page. It detects the server configuration based on your Matrix Id. This allows you to login to servers requiring Single Sign On (SSO) (like the Mozilla or the incoming Fedora Matrix instance).

Servers that require agreeing to the TOS before usage are correctly detected now and redirect to their TOS webpage, allowing the user to agree to them instead of silently failing to load the account.

It is now possible to open a room into a new window. This allows you to view and interact with multiple rooms at the same time.

We added a few commands to NeoChat (/shrug, /lenny, /join, /ignore, ...).

We improved the Plasma integration a bit. Now the number of unread messages is displayed in the Plasma Taskbar.

This version fixes several bugs.

• NeoChat doesn't require a .well-know configuration in the server to work.
• Edited messages won't show up duplicated anymore.
• Various graphic glitches have been fixed.
• NeoChat now ask for consent to terms and conditions if required instead of displaying nothing.
• Users avatar in the room list are now displayed correctly.
