Exciting news for Riot users today as New Vector (the company set up by the team behind Matrix & Riot to keep development going) has raised an additional $8.5M of funding in order to make Riot even better!

Riot Web 1.4.0 is out today (with Android and iOS to follow shortly), landing a range of enhancements and powerful new features to make sure you’re always informed and in control of how, when, where and why your data is processed. As you probably already know, Riot runs atop Matrix and Matrix is a decentralised, federated instant messaging network.

Our development team identified a security issue affecting all previous versions of the Matrix Android SDK and, by extension, any Android clients which use the Matrix Android SDK. This includes Riot Android (Google Play and F-Droid) and mini Vector. The issue has been fixed in version 0.9.27 of the Matrix Android SDK and Riot Android 0.9.4. RiotX is not affected, nor are any Matrix clients on any other platform.

The wait is over, they’re finally here! Message editing and reactions are live on Riot Web (1.3), Riot iOS (0.9.1) and RiotX (0.1.0) on Android!

Attention Matrix fans! Modular has just announced public availabilty of their personal hosted homeservers! Starting at $10/month for a 5-user server, they’re speedy, they’re reliable, and just like their larger cousins come with a custom-branded Riot Web instance and can be used with your existing domain name. And did I mentions there’s a one month free trial? What are you even waiting for!?

Hi all, We’re incredibly excited to introduce the first ever public beta of RiotX on Android today! RiotX is the codename for an entirely new Matrix Client built by the Riot/Android team, intended to replace Riot/Android in the relatively near future.

Riot Web 1.2 has landed today, featuring all new emoji as we switch from emojione to twemoji.

Riot Web 1.1 is here! The Riot Web devs have been hard at their craft, landing functional and aesthetic upgrades to timeline scrolling, registration, room preview, receiving invitations and image upload.

After the security incident at Matrix.org, we have decided to publish a new Riot.im Android app on the Google Play Store out of an abundance of caution. The fresh app is still called Riot.im but internally it has a different application identifier (im.vector.app). Because of this new id, the new app appears in Google Play as a completely different application. This also prevents an automatic update from the old to the new application.

After February’s release of Riot Web 1.0, it was time to take a step back, take some deep breaths, and to think big thoughts about the future. And then (ultimately) to write the very best of those thoughts on day-glo post-its and stick them to a large glass wall: the roadmap was born.
