FluffyChat Web Now Available for Order

A new web client app, FluffyChat, has been added. If you’re familiar with its mobile version, you’ll find the web version just as easy to use. Starting this week, you can install it on your own server.

• New customers can order it through the order form.
• Existing customers can contact us to have it added.

Hydrogen Deprecated

The Hydrogen client has not been actively maintained for a while, so we have decided to deprecate it. It is no longer available for new customers.

Service Updates

Switching to a Rolling Release Model

Previously, we maintained two stability branches:

• Fresh: Included the latest changes for all components.
• Stable: Updated once a week, bundling all weekly changes into a single release.

However, this model had drawbacks, especially when handling hotfixes. To improve flexibility and responsiveness, we are switching to a rolling release model, where changes are automatically tested on etke.cc internal servers before being published.

What’s Changing?

• Before: Changes were collected throughout the week and released together every Friday.
• Now: Each change is automatically tested and released as soon as it passes testing.

Whenever you see a new message in the #updates:etke.cc room, you can trigger maintenance immediately to install the latest update—no more waiting up to a week!
