The team behind the Matrix open standard and real-time communication protocol has announced the release of its second major version, bringing end-to-end encryption to group VoIP, faster loading times, and more.
You log in, confirm it with another device (better hope it’s nearby! That first setup of a 2nd client is a doozy of a feel bad, if it isn’t),
Your devices don’t have to be nearby to verify them. You can enter a key backup passphrase instead.
then a few days later it just stops letting you do anything,
That’s not normal. Looks like you ran into a bug. Did you report it, so it can be tracked and fixed?
I gather from their weekly reports that they’ve been fixing encryption bugs lately, and that the clients now in testing (the Element X code base) seem to have them solved. You might want to try those, or one of the third-party clients.

The new Rust library is really solid. Once things start moving to that instead of rolling their own, it will get a lot more smooth.
Can you tell me more about this? I’m running a synapse server at the moment, but if there’s about to be a smoother Rust option, I’m interested!
There technically is Conduit , but it’s still in beta.
It’s a client library only. Keep running Synapse. :D
