We’ve created a common cryptographic library implementation in Rust - codenamed Element R - for all our Element clients. With the latest release of Element Web and Desktop, the new implementation is now deployed across all of our mobile and desktop apps (iOS, Android, Windows, MacOS, Linux and Web) and means we can now start to realise its full potential.

In the midst of winter, while many resolutions may fade, at Element we remain steadfast in our commitment to excellence. In our latest ESS release (24.02), we've been laser-focused on improving our installation process for customers who self-host their servers. Below we unveil the latest updates and stories from behind the scenes.
