the next release will be coming pretty soon and it'll have a lot of fixes to changes i made to the network stack while i was having some weird technical issues with godot loading libraries. i was getting an error "failed to map segment" which turns out is caused by file permissions errors on shared libraries in projects on a drive without full execution permissions on linux, i solved it by changing the mount settings and the mounting user for that drive on linux.
the next release will also come with voip and hopefully some improvements to the UX of how session joining works. for ui, i'm planning at the very least to will make sure there is a more clear indication of what session you're in and the state of that session. voip might be rough for a few updates and at the current moment nothing is using matrix's defined end to end encryption. but i have already started development on those things and they'll be coming soon.
