From 5e05f3090b2285d98c8e61c59239745af8f8043b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kegan Dougal <7190048+kegsay@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2025 20:44:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] v0.15.0 (#3627) Also updates the README to: - highlight Dendrite is in maintenance mode - remove references to being "scalable" as we eventually decided to focus on smaller deployments not huge ones. - remove the progress section as it was horribly outdated and in general Dendrite is roughly feature complete with synapse (with the exception of sliding sync and OIDC, which is also now mentioned explicitly) --- CHANGES.md | 20 ++++++++++++++++++++ README.md | 44 +++++++++----------------------------------- internal/version.go | 4 ++-- 3 files changed, 31 insertions(+), 37 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGES.md b/CHANGES.md index b5947c44..18d9f5c4 100644 --- a/CHANGES.md +++ b/CHANGES.md @@ -1,5 +1,25 @@ # Changelog +## Dendrite 0.15.0 (2025-08-12) + +### ⚠ Important + +This is a security release, adding support for [room version 12](https://matrix.org/blog/2025/08/security-release/). + +### Features + - Add support for [MSC4163](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4163). + - Add support for [MSC3967](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3967). + - Add support for room version 12. + +### Bug fixes + - Refactored NATS JetStream code to gracefully handle more potential errors.
