BIG 1.6 UPDATE HAS HIT
https://blog.riot.im/e2e-encryption-by-default-cross-signing-is-here/
A lot of great stuff, and most of it has to do with end-to-end encryption (E2EE).
Highlights:
- E2EE enabled by default on all private rooms
- Search enabled in E2EE rooms
- Files will show up in the files pane in E2EE rooms.
- Cross-signing has been enabled. This means that if you add a new device, it no longer needs to be verified by everyone else in the room. Instead, you take the responsibility of verifying it from a known good device of your own.
- Custom theming enabled (https://github.com/aaronraimist/riot-web-themes, https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/blob/master/docs/theming.md)
