@troed We'd also like everything to be open source. But the reality is that even with AGPL, we're still stuck in the pattern that enormous deployments use FOSS Synapse without contributing to its dev/maintenance costs.Every time an opportunity that we're counting on to fund the team turns around and says "oh, FOSS Synapse is good enough, and we can use it for free, bye" we find ourselves needing to provide a very concrete reason not to freeride - hence Synapse Pro.

@teto @troed tl;dr is more "need to be able to keep paying people to work on this".

@teto @troed KDE get 350K EUR/y according to their annual report, which is barely enough to pay for the matrix.org hardware costs, let alone anyone to work on Matrix, unfortunately.

@mkljczk @djsumdog nope, but it's being developed as a best-effort FOSS project currently, as there's no $ to fund folks to work on both it & synapse fulltime. it had a similar fallow period in 2018-2019 which it bounced back from. If/when we have available $ we'll fund fulltime dev on it again.

⚠️ If you’re running an outdated version of Synapse you’re putting your organisation at risk. 🚨 Version 1.98.0 of Synapse (or older) exposes you to critical vulnerabilities, compliance failures and security risks.🔐 Get up to date!https://element.io/blog/running-outdated-versions-of-synapse-is-a-problem/

Apple withdrawing ADP from its UK iCloud service was inevitable, and is a serious wake up call for the UK government.While the UK government may have had good intentions, trying to undermine E2EE has backfired catastrophically. No way Apple would capitulate and sabotage the privacy of its service globally.As 70 years of geopolitical stability fractures, the UK is weakening the nation’s cyber defences through its flawed obsession with blanket surveillance.https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/apple-government-cybersecurity-data-protection-sky-news-b2702490.html

Our first TI-Messenger compliant edition of ESS is here! This is built for the German healthcare system and ships with Synapse Pro 'in the box'. It's the first time SP is included in a general release of our software and therefore represents a significant milestone in how we will work within the public sector to secure the future of the wider Synapse open source development, and by extension aim to secure the future of the entire Matrix project.

Acceptance at last? The US government’s unequivocal support for end-to-end encryption is likely to bring an end to the encryption debate.https://element.io/blog/reality-bites-the-uk-governments-push-to-undermine-end-to-end-encryption/

Element users on the default http://matrix.org homeserver are currently impacted by a serious database outage (https://mastodon.matrix.org/@matrix/115136245785561439)which will take at least 12 hours to recover - many apologies to everyone impacted. Users on their own deployments are of course unaffected.

The Matrix Conference 2025 was a huge success! 🎉We were delighted to be the anchor sponsor! 🙌With so many governments presenting on their Matrix-based initiatives. There was a genuine realisation that @matrix is the future of government, and inter-governmental, communications.See our round-up of the conference, which includes the links to all of the presentations: https://element.io/blog/the-matrix-conference-a-seminal-moment-for-matrix/

@Lioh please do not use the old classic Element Android app - we do not have bandwidth to maintain it; all the effort is going into Element X instead. https://element.io/de/download

@Lioh Element X is native OIDC for all auth. It sounds like your server needs to be migrated to use native OIDC rather than legacy SSO - https://element-hq.github.io/matrix-authentication-service/setup/migration.html
