We've recently seen serious spam attacks against Matrix, so we're introducing Policy Servers to recommend whether servers should accept or discard events *before* they get synced to clients. If your server participates in public rooms, see matrix.org/blog/2025/04... to keep it safe.

It's the last spec release of 2024! 🎉 Matrix 1.13 has even more Trust & Safety features for you. Account Suspension, new reporting endpoints, fixes to existing endpoints, and not-T&S features like EDUs to appservices!

Details on the blog:

Matrix 1.11 is here with authenticated media! 🎉
