Mautrix Facebook Versions Save

• Security: Updated Pillow to 10.0.1.
• Added support for double puppeting with arbitrary as_tokens. See docs for more info.
• Added support for sending captions with MSC2530.
• Fixed profile info not being visible in community group chats.
• Fixed permalinks being broken when bridging certain types of shared posts from Facebook.

• Added config option to disable bridging m.notice messages (thanks to @jzapataikono in #280).
• Added options to automatically ratchet/delete megolm sessions to minimize access to old messages.
• Added option to not set room name/avatar even in encrypted rooms.
• Added option to disable reply fallbacks entirely.
• Added notice message when a call is received on Messenger.
• Redid backfill system to support MSC2716.
  • Note that using Synapse's MSC2716 implementation is not recommended, and the bridge can still backfill messages without MSC2716.
• Implemented appservice pinging using MSC2659.
• Possibly improved MQTT connection handling.
• Fixed bridging profile pictures for Instagram users.
• Fixed MQTT connection failing in certain cases when Facebook returned weird data in the chat list.

• Improved unsupported message fallbacks and added support for more message types from Facebook.
  • Powerup messages, descriptions in story attachments, facebook pay messages and group join links among other things should be bridged now.
• Added support for dynamically fetching a proxy URL.
• Added option to bypass startup script in docker image.

• Dropped Python 3.7 support.
• Added optional support for bridging presence from Facebook to Matrix (thanks to @JakuJ in #189).

• Changed some fields to stop the user from showing up as online on Facebook all the time.
• Changed incoming message handling to preserve order from Facebook to Matrix.
• Fixed calculating mention offsets (mentioning users in messages with complicated unicode characters like emojis).
  • This will break message rendering that involves mentions and emojis in the Messenger web app, but it works everywhere else. The issue on web happens even with messages sent from the official apps.
• Fixed bridging reactions from Facebook in certain cases.
• Fixed bridging files from Matrix with non-ascii names.

• Formatted all code using black and isort.

• Fixed error when receiving a reply to an unknown message.

N.B. Docker images have moved from dock.mau.dev/tulir/mautrix-facebook to dock.mau.dev/mautrix/facebook. New versions are only available at the new path.

• Updated Docker image to Alpine 3.14.
• Fixed messages being dropped if they came in while the portal was being created.
• Fixed bridge info causing canonical JSON errors due to the id field not being stringified.

• Fixed bridging audio messages and other things containing 32-bit floats.
• Fixed handling multiple mentions in a Messenger message (#144).

Breaking change: old cookie logins will no longer work, all users have to relogin. See upgrade instructions on docs.mau.fi.
