Most issues are related to people being on an older version of Riot, or an issue with their own hosting but some end up as a required fix, and we track them as a public issue ( here’s the one for rageshakes). The rageshake invites you to submit your logs (see the screenshot) so we can analyse issues and fix them. The way a rageshake kicks in at the moment of the issue means the app can send the immediate logs in the context of the problem. It’s one of our favourite UX bits of Riot :) It’s a neat feature, because the Etch-A-Sketch moment of shaking your phone in response to a problem is very natural.
In case you’re not familiar with rageshakes, they automatically spring to life when you shake your phone. Kafkaesque 🤯.Īnyway, it’s fixed now (along with a small issue around key backup restore)! Our take on the rageshake they didn’t work anymore because they were expecting a bit of code that we’d removed as we jumped into the new world.Īmusingly we didn’t spot the problem with rageshakes for a few days because, well, there were no rageshakes about the rageshakes not working. The wild complexity of default end-to-end encryption and cross-signing created a minor snafu for rageshakes. View-blocking banner-style notifications have gone replaced by breadcrumbs of tasty toast that are thankfully free from dripping butter. To be clear, we’re talking pop-up notifications. Given we’re all still working from home, it could be confusing to say we’ve been making a lot of toast. Just in case you don’t know already, the full shortcuts guide is available within your Riot client by clicking Settings/Help & About (under the FAQ).Īlternatively, to see all the available shortcuts, press ‘Cmd’ + ‘/’ on macOS or ‘Ctrl’ + ‘/’ on Windows and Linux (a shortcut for shortcuts, how very meta!). Cmd/Ctrl + ‘Shift’ + ‘U’ is also new and gives you a slightly faster way to upload. There are a couple of new keyboard shortcuts: ‘Shift’ + ‘Page Up’ now magically transport you to your last unread message in a room, which has proved very popular in testing.

#Desktop toasts for critical updates upgrade
Heads up that 1.6.3 is a security update, so please upgrade - many thanks to Quentin Gliech for reporting a vulnerability in single sign-on (SSO) deployments where Riot could be confused into sending authentication details to an attacker-controlled server.
#Desktop toasts for critical updates update
We’ve released a few updates for Riot today, grouped under the logically titled 1.6.3 (guess what the previous update was called.more on that later).
