v1.0.0-alpha5 Stable
released this
2026-10-19 21:18:33 -04:00 | 24 commits to main since this releaseThe fifth alpha of Nexus 1.0.0, improving notifications and making the app smaller and more reliable on top of alpha4.
Features
- Conversation notifications: On Android, messages from the same chat now stack into one notification showing each sender's name and avatar.
- Sender names in group notifications: Notifications from room now show who sent each message.
- System emoji: Nexus now uses your device's emoji instead of bundling its own, so emoji match the rest of your system.
Fixes
- AVIF images now load on Linux on ARM (aarch64), and animated AVIFs play.
- Nexus no longer shows sync errors right after coming back to the app on Android, as syncing now pauses while it's in the background.
- Notification sound settings are now respected on all platforms.
- Denied notification permissions are now handled gracefully.
- Reactions with custom emoji that fail to load no longer show an error dialog.
- The Android download is now much smaller, as the APK no longer includes builds of libmpv not meant for your current architecture.
As this is an alpha, expect some bugs. If you run into anything, please let us know in #nexus:federated.nexus.
