[Matrix](https://matrix.org/)，一个流行的安全、去中心化通讯网络，正在日益变得更为重要。我们周围的世界正在以前所未有的速度变化，而安全通讯工具的需求只是其产物之一，除此之外还有其他方面的需求。


在帮助实现 Matrix 功能方面的工具之一就是 Fractal。它是 [最好的 Matrix 分布式消息客户端之一](https://itsfoss.com/best-matrix-clients/)。


最近发布的消息是，**Fractal 5** 带来了大型改版。?


那么，让我们简要了解一下。


### ? Fractal 5：有什么新特性？


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/30/174920xclc2sswlv3c35lm.png)


与之前版本相比，作为**完全重写**的 Fractal 5 现在采用了 [GTK 4](https://blog.gtk.org/2020/12/16/gtk-4-0/)、[libadwaita](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libadwaita) 和 [Matrix Rust SDK](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk)，提供了现代化的界面，使人感到非常亲切。


Fractal 现在在所有类型的屏幕上都可以**正确缩放**，无论是小屏还是大屏。之前版本的用户应该会觉得很熟悉，学习曲线不会太陡峭。


此外，现在可以**回复特定消息**，用 emoji **回应消息**，甚至在使用 Fractal 聊天时**编辑/删除消息**。

你还可以将**当前位置发送**到你的任何聊天中，只需确保你的系统支持“位置服务”并已启用。

查看图片和播放音频或视频现在更加直观，你可以直接从聊天窗口中查看/播放。

最后，Fractal 现在支持**登录多个帐户**，并提供 [单点登录](https://matrix.org/docs/older/client-sso-guide/)（SSO）的附加支持。这将使在同一客户端实例上处理多个帐户变得轻松。

**对于将来的版本**，开发人员计划添加一些新功能，如房间设置、更好的管理工具和通知设置。他们还希望改善无障碍方面的内容。


你可以查看 [发布说明](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/fractal/-/releases/5) 以了解所有技术细节。


我很高兴看到 Fractal 正在积极开发，如果问我，这个版本使其更加接近正在开发中的 [ElementX](https://news.itsfoss.com/element-x-matrix-2/)，它是 Element 消息应用的继任者。


我很高兴 Matrix 不再是少数人使用的小众事物，而是许多人建议的常态。

[Matrix](https://matrix.org/?ref=news.itsfoss.com), a popular network for secure, decentralized communication, is getting more relevant day-by-day. The world around us is changing at a pace previously unheard of, and the need for a secure communication tool is just one of its by-products, among other things.

One such tool that helps in leveraging Matrix, is Fractal. It is one of the [best Matrix clients for decentralized messaging](https://itsfoss.com/best-matrix-clients/?ref=news.itsfoss.com).

With a recent announcement, **Fractal 5** is here with a major overhaul 🎉

So, let's take a brief look at it.

## 🆕 Fractal 5: What's New?

![a screenshot of fractal 5](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/11/Fractal_5_a.png)

Being **a complete rewrite** compared to the previous release, Fractal 5 now makes use of [GTK 4](https://blog.gtk.org/2020/12/16/gtk-4-0/?ref=news.itsfoss.com), [libadwaita](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libadwaita?ref=news.itsfoss.com), and the [Matrix Rust SDK](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk?ref=news.itsfoss.com) for providing a modern looking interface that just feels at home.

Fractal now **scales properly on all kinds of screens**, be it small or large; users of the previous releases should find it familiar without much of a learning curve.

Moreover, it is now possible to **reply to specific messages**, **react to messages** with emoji, and even **edit/remove messages **while chatting on Fractal.

You can also **send your current location** to any of your chats, just ensure that your system supports 'Location Services', and is enabled.

And lastly, Fractal now has **support for logging into multiple accounts**, with additional support for [Single-Sign On](https://matrix.org/docs/older/client-sso-guide/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) (SSO). This will make it effortless to handle multiple accounts on the same client instance.

**For its future releases**, the developers have planned to add some neat features such as room settings, better moderation tools, and notification settings. They also want to improve the accessibility side of things.

You may go through the [release notes](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/fractal/-/releases/5?ref=news.itsfoss.com) to learn all the technical details.

I am glad to see that Fractal is being actively developed, and if you ask me, this release brings it more on par with the under development [ElementX](https://news.itsfoss.com/element-x-matrix-2/), a successor to the Element messaging app.

I am excited about a time when Matrix is not just a niche thing used by a few, but the norm suggested by many.
