This release fixes a bug in our build system that prevented Docker images from being built. Users not using Docker on 2.0.0 are not required to upgrade.

Note this release requires Node.16 or greater.

Features

• New releases will now include Docker images built on the linux/amd64 platform in addition to x86_64. (#656)

Bugfixes

• Add missing reactions:write scope to oauth scopes. (#696)

• Fix PostgreSQL schema 14 not applying cleanly if events containing NULL columns. (#701)

• Fix /metrics and /ready paths requiring authentication. (#704)

• Disallowed the accidental behaviour of puppeting two or more Slack accounts from the same team to the same Matrix user. This would cause all puppeting for the user to stop working. The bridge will now automatically delete any puppeted connections which violate this rule. You will be notified via the bridge when this happens, so you can relink your accounts. (#705)

Improved Documentation
