Matrix 2.0 is Here
summary
Ten years in, Matrix 2.0 delivers four concrete platform changes: a simplified Sliding Sync implemented natively in Synapse (on by default since 1.14) giving instant login and fast resync; a native OpenID Connect flow via the Matrix Authentication Service (Mass) ready for new deployments and planned for matrix.org by year end; a Matrix RTC spec (MSC 4143) using LiveKit SFU with end‑to‑end encrypted VoIP now in Element and Element X; and invisible crypto improvements reducing unable‑to‑decrypt errors. Demos largely succeed; Synapse and matrix‑rust‑sdk carry the implementations.
