Hello Matrix friends. We have recently launched an online learning platform that has Element at its core. We added some great features such as annotations for both course material and web pages. Here is an overview video of what we are doing.

Oh I had missed it, it's a really great platform, I'm very happy to see widgets used for an education platform. It looks very much like a glimpse of the future!

The bot recorded your report :)

TWIM: Heisenbridge roundup!

Heisenbridge is a bouncer-style Matrix IRC bridge.

Release v1.13.0 🥳

• Read default port and listen address from config url (@BtbN)
• Improvements to pillifying IRC nicks, again
• Fixes for AUTOQUERY not always working correctly
• Allow anyone to use STATUS command to get their own status
• Filter control characters only for plumbs so people can send garbage to IRC if they wish from Matrix
• Support for converting IRC color codes to Matrix (@tjaderxyz)
• Fixed compose docker Synapse configuration for registration
• Improved Python 3.10 compatibliy (@BtbN)
• Hidden room to hide joins using restricted rooms join rule (@BtbN)

Some cool stuff this time around! Aside from many bug fixes this release has two great new features: IRC message colors and hiding invites from channels.

IRC colors are enabled by default and are rendered how your Matrix client sees fit. They can be disabled per network if needed.

Hiding joins works with room v9 restricted join rules feture to allow IRC ghosts to join rooms without an invite from the bridge bot first. This clears some clutter and may even make joining a bit faster in the long run - we will see. This feature is disabled by default and needs to be enabled by the bridge administrator as it is consiered a "labs" feature for now.

Go and get a Dell from GitHub, PyPI or matrix-docker-ansible-deploy!

Thanks!
