matterhorn v50200.7.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-03-09 // about 4 years ago

  • 🆕 New features:

    • The channel sidebar now displays channels by display name, not URL name (#522).
      • The channel autocompletion list now includes channel display names.
    • Matterhorn now adds the character set with "stty erase" to the Vty input map so that the erase character translates to a backspace key event.
    • Matterhorn now supports viewing pinned posts and changing pinning status (#213)
      • This change adds a new command, /pinned-posts, that will show a post list of pinned posts in the current channel.
      • This change adds a new message select key event, pin-message (default: p) to toggle the pinning state of the selected post.
      • A new [PIN] indicator is now displayed to the left of pinned posts.
      • A new theme attribute, pinnedMessageIndicator, was added to render the pinning indicator.
    • A new configuration option now controls certificate validation (#263). This change adds a new config setting, validateServerCertificate. Its default is True. The sample config also includes documentation about the setting.
    • A new /purpose command was added to set channel purpose strings (#524).
    • A new example notification script for Mac OS systems was added at notification-scripts/notify-macos.

    Other changes:
