# v0.4.0 (unreleased)
* Switched from `/r0` to `/v3` paths everywhere.
* The new `v3` paths are implemented since Synapse 1.48, Dendrite 0.6.5,
and Conduit 0.4.0. Servers older than these are no longer supported.
* Added new deferred backfill system to allow backfilling historical messages
later instead of doing everything at login.
2022-04-29 15:09:55 +02:00
* Added option to automatically request old media from phone after backfilling.
* Added experimental provisioning API to check if a phone number is registered
on WhatsApp.
2022-05-11 13:33:19 +02:00
* Added automatic retrying if the websocket dies while sending a message.
* Improved error handling if Postgres dies while the bridge is running.
* Fixed bridging stickers sent from WhatsApp web.

# v0.3.1 (2022-04-16)
2022-03-22 12:49:28 +01:00
* Added emoji normalization for reactions in both directions to add/remove
variation selector 16 as appropriate.
* Added option to use [MSC2246] async media uploads.
2022-04-16 22:21:15 +02:00

# v0.3.0 (2022-03-16)
2022-02-23 13:34:05 +01:00
2022-03-05 20:22:31 +01:00
* Added reaction bridging in both directions.
2022-02-23 13:34:05 +01:00
* Added automatic sending of hidden messages to primary device to prevent
false-positive disconnection warnings if there have been no messages sent or
received in >12 days.
* Added proper error message when WhatsApp rejects the connection due to the
bridge being out of date.
2022-03-05 20:22:31 +01:00
* Added experimental provisioning API to list contacts/groups, start DMs and
open group portals. Note that these APIs are subject to change at any time.
* Added option to always send "active" delivery receipts (two gray ticks), even
if presence bridging is disabled. By default, WhatsApp web only sends those
receipts when it's in the foreground (i.e. showing online status).
* Added option to send online presence on typing notifications (thanks to
[@abmantis] in [#452]). This can be used to enable incoming typing
notifications without enabling Matrix presence (WhatsApp only sends typing
notifications if you're online).
* Added checks to prevent sharing the database with unrelated software.
2022-02-23 13:34:05 +01:00
* Exposed maximum database connection idle time and lifetime options.
2022-03-05 20:22:31 +01:00
* Fixed syncing group topics. To get topics into existing portals on Matrix,
you can use `!wa sync groups`.
* Fixed sticker events on Matrix including a redundant `msgtype` field.
* Disabled file logging in Docker image by default.
* To enable it, mount a directory for the logs that's writable for the user
inside the container (1337 by default), then point the bridge at it using
the `logging` -> `directory` field, and finally set `file_name_format` to
something non-empty (the default is `{{.Date}}-{{.Index}}.log`).

2022-02-16 11:15:38 +01:00
* Fixed some issues with read receipt bridging.
2022-02-06 19:43:41 +01:00

2021-12-29 16:39:03 +01:00
* Added support for bridging incoming broadcast list messages.
* Added overrides for mime type -> file extension mapping as some OSes have
very obscure extensions in their mime type database.
* Added support for personal filtering spaces (started by [@HelderFSFerreira] and [@clmnin] in [#413]).
2022-01-03 15:11:39 +01:00
* Added support for multi-contact messages.
2022-01-07 13:32:00 +01:00

# v0.2.2 (2021-12-16)
**This release includes a fix for a moderate severity security issue that
affects all versions since v0.1.4.** If your bridge allows untrusted users to
run commands in bridged rooms (`user` permission level), you should update the
bridge or demote untrusted users to the `relay` level. If all whitelisted users
are trusted, then you're not affected.
* Added proper thumbnail generation when sending images to WhatsApp.
* Added support for the stable version of [MSC2778].
* Added support for receiving ephemeral events via [MSC2409]
(previously only possible via double puppeting).
* Added option to mute status broadcast room and move it to low priority by default.
* Added command to search your contact list and joined groups
(thanks to [@abmantis] in [#387]).
* Added support for automatically re-requesting Megolm keys if they don't
arrive, and automatically recreating Olm sessions if an incoming message
fails to decrypt.
* Added support for passing through media dimensions in image/video messages
from WhatsApp.
* Switched double puppeted messages to use `"fi.mau.double_puppet_source": "mautrix-whatsapp"`
instead of `"net.maunium.whatsapp.puppet": true` as the indicator.
* Renamed `!wa check-invite` to `!wa resolve-link` and added support for
WhatsApp business DM links (`https://wa.me/message/...`).
* Improved read receipt handling to mark all unread messages as read on
WhatsApp instead of only marking the last message as read.
* Updated Docker image to Alpine 3.15.
* Fixed some issues with app state syncing not working
(especially related to contacts).
* Fixed responding to retry receipts not working correctly.

# v0.2.1 (2021-11-10)
* Added support for double puppeting from other servers
(started by [@abmantis] in [#368]).
* This does not apply to post-login backfilling, as it's not possible to use
MSC2716's `/batch_send` with users from other servers.
* Added config updater similar to mautrix-python bridges.
* Added support for responding to retry receipts (to automatically resolve
other devices not being able to decrypt messages from the bridge).
* Added `sync` command to resync contact and group info to Matrix (not to be
confused with the pre-v0.2.0 `sync` command which also did backfill and other
such things).
* Added warning when reacting to messages in portal rooms
(thanks to [@abmantis] in [#373]).
* Can be disabled with the `reaction_notices` config option.
* Fixed WhatsApp encryption failing if other user reinstalled the app.
* New identities will now be auto-trusted, and if `identity_change_notices`
is set to true, a notice about the change will be sent to the private chat
portal.
* Fixed contact info sync at login racing with portal/puppet creation and
therefore not being synced properly.
* Fixed read receipts from WhatsApp on iOS that mark multiple messages as read
not being handled properly.
* Fixed backfilling not working when double puppeting was not enabled at all.
* Fixed portals not being saved on SQLite.
* Fixed relay mode using old name for users after displayname change.
* Fixed displayname not being HTML-escaped in relay mode message templates.

# v0.2.0 (2021-11-05)
**N.B.** The minimum Go version is now 1.17. Also note that Docker image paths
have changed as mentioned in the [v0.1.8](#v018-2021-08-07) release notes.
* Switched to WhatsApp multidevice API. All users will have to log into the
bridge again.
* Initial backfilling now uses [MSC2716]'s batch send endpoint.
* MSC2716 support is behind a feature flag in Synapse, so initial backfilling
is disabled by default. See the `history_sync` section in the example
config for more details.
* Missed message backfilling (e.g. after bridge downtime) still sends the
messages normally and is always enabled.
* Replaced old relaybot system with a portal-specific relay user option like in mautrix-signal.
* You will have to re-setup the relaybot with the new system
(see [docs](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/relay-mode.html)).
* Many config fields have been changed/renamed/removed, so it is recommended to
look through the example config and update your config.

# v0.1.10 (2021-11-02)
This release just disables SQLite foreign keys, since some people already have
invalid rows in the database, which caused issues when SQLite re-checked the
rows during database migrations (#360). The invalid rows shouldn't cause any
actual issues, since the bridge uses foreign keys primarily for cascade delete
purposes.
If you're using Postgres, this update is not necessary.
# v0.1.9 (2021-10-28)
This is the final release targeting the legacy WhatsApp web API that requires a
phone connection. v0.2.0 will switch to the new multidevice API.
* Added support for bridging ephemeral and view-once messages.
* Added custom flag to invite events that will be auto-accepted using double
puppeting.
* Added proper error message when trying to log in with multidevice enabled.
* Added automatic conversion of webp images to png when sending to WhatsApp
(thanks to [@apmechev] in [#346]).
* Added support for customizing bridge bot welcome message
(thanks to [@justinbot] and [@Half-Shot] in [#355]).
* Fixed MetricsHandler causing panics on heavy traffic instances
(thanks to [@tadzik] in [#359]).
* Removed message content from database.

# v0.1.8 (2021-08-07)
**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 (2021-06-15)
* Added option to disable creating WhatsApp status broadcast rooms.
* 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 (2021-04-01)
* 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 (2020-12-28)
* 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.

* 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 (thanks to [@rreuvekamp] in [#232]).
* Fixed bridging names of files that were sent from another bridge.
* Fixed handling empty commands.
