v0.1.8

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

• Added very basic support for bridging MSC3245 voice messages into push-to-talk messages on WhatsApp.
• Added support for Matrix->WhatsApp location messages.
• Renamed whatsapp_message_age and whatsapp_message prometheus metrics to remote_event_age and remote_event respectively.
• Fixed handling sticker gifs from Matrix.
• Fixed bridging audio/video duration from/to WhatsApp.
• Fixed messages not going through until restart if initial room creation attempt fails.
• Fixed issues where some WhatsApp protocol message in new chats prevented the first actual message from being bridged.
• Fixed some media from WhatsApp not being bridged due to file length or checksum mismatches. WhatsApp clients don't seem to care, so the bridge also ignores those errors now.

v0.1.7

• Added option to disable creating WhatsApp status broadcast rooms (#166).
• Added option to bridge chat archive, pin and mute statuses from WhatsApp.
• Moved Matrix HTTP request retrying to mautrix-go (which now retries all requests instead of only send message requests).
• Made bridge status reporting more generic (now takes an arbitrary HTTP endpoint to push bridge status to instead of requiring mautrix-asmux).
• Updated error messages sent to Matrix to be more understandable if WhatsApp returns status code 400 or 599.
• Fixed encryption getting messed up after receiving inbound olm sessions if using SQLite.
• Fixed bridge sending old messages after new ones if initial backfill limit is low and bridge gets restarted.
• Fixed read receipt bridging sometimes marking too many messages as read on Matrix (and then echoing it back to WhatsApp).
• Fixed false-positive message send error that showed up on WhatsApp mobile for messages sent from Matrix.
• Fixed ghost user displaynames for newly added group members never getting set if chat_meta_sync is false.

v0.1.6

• Added support for broadcast lists.
• Added automatic re-login-matrix using login shared secret if /sync returns M_UNKNOWN_TOKEN.
• Added syncing of contact info when syncing room members to ensure that WhatsApp ghost users have displaynames before the Matrix user sees them for the first time.
• Added bridging of own WhatsApp read receipts after backfilling.
• Added option not to re-sync chat info and user avatars on startup to avoid WhatsApp rate limits (error 599).
  • When resync is disabled, chat info changes will still come through by backfilling messages. However, user avatars will currently not update after being synced once.
• Improved automatic reconnection to work more like WhatsApp Web.
  • The bridge no longer disconnects the websocket if the phone stops responding. Instead it sends periodic pings until the phone responds.
  • Outgoing messages will be queued and resent automatically when the phone responds again.
• Added option to disable bridging messages where the msgtype is m.notice (thanks to @hramirezf in #259).
• Fixed backfilling failing in some cases due to 404 errors.
• Merged the whatsapp-ext module into go-whatsapp.
• Disabled personal filtering communities by default
• Updated Docker image to Alpine 3.13

v0.1.5

• Renamed device name fields in config from device_name and short_name to os_name and browser_name respectively.
• Replaced shared secret login with appservice login (MSC2778) when logging into bridge bot for e2be.
• Removed webp conversion for WhatsApp→Matrix stickers.
• Added short wait if encrypted message arrives before decryption keys.
• Added bridge error notices if messages fail to decrypt.
• Added command to discard the bridge's Megolm session in a room.
• Added retrying for Matrix message sending if server returns 502.
• Added browser-compatible authentication to login API websocket.
• Fixed creating new WhatsApp groups for unencrypted Matrix rooms (#209).
• Changed provisioning API to automatically delete session if logout request fails.
• Changed CI to statically compile olm into the bridge executable.
• Fixed bridging changes to group read-only status to Matrix (#228, thanks to @rreuvekamp in #232).
• Fixed bridging names of files that were sent from another bridge.
• Fixed handling empty commands.

v0.1.4

• Added better error reporting for media bridging errors
• Added bridging for own read receipts from WhatsApp mobile when using double puppeting
• Added build tag to disable crypto without disabling SQLite
• Added support for automatic key sharing
• Added option to update m.direct when using double puppeting
• Made read receipt bridging toggleable separately from presence bridging
• Fixed the formatter bridging all numbers starting with @ on WhatsApp into pills on Matrix (now it only bridges actual mentions into pills)
• Fixed handling new contacts and receiving names of non-contacts in groups when they send a message

v0.1.3

• Added command to create WhatsApp groups
• Added command to disable bridging presence and read receipts
• Added full group member syncing (including kicking of users who left before)

• Fixed bug where inaccessible private chat portals couldn't be recreated with pm command (#188)

v0.1.2
