Toward Matrix support in Chats - Purism
We have been aiming for proper Matrix support for the Chats application since the beginning of its development.
The initial support for Matrix was provided with the purple-matrix plugin. It had rudimentary Matrix support for non-encrypted chats and decryption (but not for encryption).
This plug-in has been unmaintained for quite a long time and making it work flawlessly would have been a bit difficult. It is limiting us to the libpurple workflow, and adding signals with callbacks would result them in being APIs which can’t ever be modified.
