55 shipped features. Add a "June–October 2026 Additions" section,
grouped by area, one line per feature with its commit and issue.

## June–October 2026 Additions
Features shipped since the sections above were last updated (Gitea #294). Each
line names the commit that introduced it.
### Calls
- **Selectable ringtone + volume:** pick the incoming-call ringtone (`4a875884`).
- **In-call incoming-call banner:** a small banner for a second call instead of a full ring (`c67aed01`).
- **Denoise tester:** Settings → Calls lets you audition the ML models and calibrate the noise gate (`14cfa021`).
- **Mic level meter** on the mute button (`3449338b`, #146).
- **"You're muted" nudge** when you talk into a muted mic (`73b1d1e3`, #117).
- **Undeafen catch-up toast:** what you missed while deafened (`33e16e85`, #128).
- **Admin turned off screen share / camera:** a toast explains why your share or camera stopped (`34574178`, #223).
- **Voice-limit / audio-only chip** in the room header (`7f17940d`, #134).
- **"N Live" pill names** who is in the call on hover / focus (`a475531b`, #157).
- **Live-call dot on the space rail** (`4fe9c870`, #148).
- **Missed-call line** in the timeline for DMs and small groups (`c921f115`, #162).
- **Answer with camera or audio-only:** answering says when it turns the camera on (`d2f56817`, #135).
- **Audio output quick-switch** in the call bar (`98c80f36`, #119).
- **Call-ended summary toast:** "Call ended · 41 min · connection was good" (`af1c0ee1`, #143).
- **No WebRTC on desktop:** offers "Open in browser" instead of a dead end (`fff583fc`).
- **Call page on its own origin** (desktop, opt-in) (`7d7a379c`, #43).
### Messaging & composer
- **Reactions collapse** to one row with a +N chip (`bf05751e`, #138).
- **Consecutive photos / videos** render as one gallery grid (`bd8c79e0`, #137).
- **Inline audio playback** for `m.file` audio attachments (`eb34b047`).
- **Recently used GIFs** in the GIF picker (`5b58e5fe`).
- **Pasted image → caption field:** a single pasted or dropped image lands in its caption (`0c45bde8`, #129).
- **Offer to format pasted code** as a code block (`75d55e86`, #107).
- **Tap to preview stickers / GIFs** on touch, tap again to send (`8d11a62e`, #147).
- **Link-mismatch confirmation** before opening a link whose text names another site (`74d8e311`, #122).
- **Embed fallback** for hung embeds and deleted X posts (`ba5b1ffe`, #200).
- **"Back to where you were"** after jumping in the timeline (`7da91bd8`, #127).
- **Offline outbox:** unsent messages survive a reload and retry (`02d86cae`, #112).
- **Terms-consent explanation** when "Failed to send" is the server wanting its terms accepted (`c96c47dd`).
### Search & navigation
- **Quick switcher (Ctrl/⌘+K)**, with a configurable key (`9d4679d2`).
- **Search filters:** `has:image/file/video`, recent searches, pinned only (`1ee0f0b5`).
- **Search operators:** `in:`, `before:` / `after:`, `has:`, `is:pinned` (`75951f90`, #106).
- **Explore:** featured Lotus Guild space and the matrixrooms.info directory (`b1ecb0c4`).
### Rooms & threads
- **Disappearing messages** (MSC1763 `m.room.retention`) (`82e52e1b`).
- **Mark as Unread** (MSC2867) and **Low Priority** rooms (`d46b91b1`).
- **"Who can see this"** line under the room name in Room Settings (`ad1cbcf7`, #133).
- **Threads: Mark all read** in the threads list (`fdec3ed7`, #165).
### Media viewer

- **Delete all my messages** in a room (`edb46247`, #169).
- **Self-hosted VT323 font** instead of Google Fonts (`6f250353`, #214).
- **Device-security nudge:** verify this device / set up key backup (`6a7627fa`, #110, #123).
- **Homeserver status banner** from Uptime Kuma (`6ae00872`, #124).
### Appearance
- **Custom accent colour** for non-TDS themes (`3c4842df`, P5-1).
- **Theme presets:** Cyberpunk, Ocean, Blood Red, Matrix, Midnight (`65e24bd4`, P5-2).
### Mobile & PWA
- **Saved Messages** from the room header's More Options menu (`8c711f5f`).
- **Long-press bottom sheet** of message actions (`53a80adb`, #166).
- **Haptics** on PTT press / release and on reactions (`492b57c6`, #125).
- **Android share target:** share into Lotus Chat from other apps (`96a97a2f`, #155).
### Notifications
- **Inline reply** from a browser notification (unencrypted rooms) (`d4420905`, #203).
### Desktop app
- **Tray icon mirrors call state** (`25fa0f6e`, cinny-desktop #4).
- **Start minimized** under Launch on login (`4a982389`, cinny-desktop #3).
- **First-close choice:** asks once what closing the window should do (`359c79a4`, cinny-desktop #5).

## 🚫 Blocked Features (server / upstream gated)
Re-run `/_matrix/client/versions` + `unstable_features` after each Synapse upgrade. **Re-checked on 1.157.1 (2026-07-23): no change — all four below are still `false`.** The 1.156.0→1.157.1 delta unblocked nothing (it's a bugfix release; the only feature-bearing release in the gap was 1.156.0, which we were already running).
Re-run `/_matrix/client/versions` + `unstable_features` after each Synapse upgrade. **Re-checked on 1.162.0 (2026-10-18, Gitea #294):** live location (`msc3489`/`msc3672`) and relation redaction (`msc3892`) are still unadvertised; thread subscriptions (`msc4306`), sticky events (`msc4354`) and QR login (`msc4108`) are still `false`. New: `org.matrix.msc3026.busy_presence` is advertised as `false`, and enabling it would give Do Not Disturb a real presence state (#283). `msc3266` and `msc4222` are no longer listed, but room preview still works (`im.nheko.summary` and `v1/room_summary` both answer 200). (Previous check: 1.157.1 on 2026-07-23, no change then.)
- **[BLOCKED] Live Location Sharing** (MSC3489 + MSC3672 both `false`) — real-time GPS beacons over the existing static share.
- **[BLOCKED] Reaction/Relation Redaction** (MSC3892 `false`) — remove a reaction without redacting the parent; current full-redaction fallback is acceptable.
