v1.6.3

ChangeLog

Bot

• Bugfix: !mjolnir config get was broken, should now be fixed by @jesopo in 5824539.
• Feature: Support for decentralized abuse report (MSC3215). Use command !mjolnir rooms setup <room alias/ID> reporting to setup a room so that users can decide to send abuse reports to moderators (who can read the offending messages) instead of homeserver administrators (who typically cannot) by @Yoric in fa5fbee, 5b509a2. Sending an abuse report this way currently requires Element Web Develop with Labs feature report_to_moderator.
• Feature: Mjölnir-for-all bot now has a nicer name and is easier to invite by @Yoric in d83127e.

Hosting

• Feature: Early support for OpenMetrics/Prometheus. If you are hosting your Mjölnir, this will let you monitor e.g. CPU usage, memory usage, number of Matrix errors, ... Additional probes may be added in the future. Off by default. By @Yoric in c3cb22b

Security

• Bumping up dependency json5 to 1.0.2 by @dependabot in 1451ac9

v1.6.2

Changelog

Year

• We are now in 2023. Happy New Year to all!

Bot

• Change of behavior The bot can now start even if it doesn't manage to resolve some policy rooms. Note that this situation is not ideal, because a broken policy room means that your protections are most likely broken, but at least users are now able to use Mjölnir to fix that list by @Yoric in 433ff7e.
• Change of behavior Setting autojoinOnlyIfManager is now true by default by @Gnuxie in 1d3da94.
• Performance improvement Changing the policy sync algorithm means that we need fewer communications with the homeserver whenever there are policy list changes by @Gnuxie in 704bb66.

Monitoring

• Mjölnir now supports sending events and alerts to a Sentry server by @Yoric in 2915757.

Dependencies

• Bump express 4.17.3 in dafbd20
