    v1.0.0-alpha2 Pre-release

    Henry-Hiles released this 2026-10-16 11:23:14 -04:00 | 21 commits to main since this release

    The second alpha of Nexus 1.0.0, with crypto initialization and a handful of fixes on top of alpha1.

    New

    • Set up encryption: If your account doesn't have encryption set up yet, Nexus now walks you through setting it up instead of asking for a recovery key you don't have. You can optionally use a passphrase as well as your recovery key.
    • Reset your encryption identity: If you've lost your recovery key, you can reset your identity from the verify screen or from Settings.

    Fixes

    • Pasting text with Ctrl+V in the message box works again.
    • When jumping to an older message, the highlight now stays until you've actually scrolled to it, even if loading the history takes a while.
    • Video controls no longer overflow on narrow (vertical) videos.
    • Various small cleanups.

    Other

    • Updated the README, including new screenshots.

    As this is an alpha, expect some bugs. If you run into anything, please let us know in #nexus:federated.nexus.
