Work in Progress

We already talked several times in the past about rewriting the application, but for different reasons we didn't do it. Now that the matrix-rust-sdk exists, which does a lot of the heavy lifting for us, we have a good starting point to build Fractal without the need to implement every single feature from the Matrix API. Finally with the release of GTK4 we would need to rework most of Fractal's code anyways. Therefore, it just makes sense to start over and build Fractal with all the features (e.g end-to-end encryption) we have in mind.

A year ago we started working on rewriting Fractal from scratch using GTK4 and the matrix-rust-sdk. This effort was called Fractal Next.

Fractal Next now replaced our previous codebase, and has become the new nightly version. It isn't yet ready for a release and you can follow along our progress towards it by looking at the Fractal v5 (Fractal-next) milestone.

That's an excerpt from upstream's repo.

I'm going to build Fractal 5 beta in GNext, and let's see how it goes.
