HealthChat Changelog

Release notes for HealthChat builds of element-web. The release pipeline (.github/workflows/build-healthchat.yaml) extracts the matching ## Changes in <version> section and uses it as the body of the GitHub Release.

One section per released version, newest on top. Upstream element-hq CHANGELOG.md is kept separate and untouched.

Changes in 1.6.0 (2026-07-29)

🙌 Improvements

• Upgraded the bundled HealthChat workspace plugin to v1.2.0: the user directory search is now gated on approval, so unapproved accounts no longer appear in search results.

🧹 Internal

• Desktop installers and the auto-update feed are now hosted at https://packages.healthchat.ch/desktop/. Already-installed apps keep updating: releases are also published to the legacy https://healthchat.ch/packages/desktop/ feed until all clients are on a build that knows the new address.

Changes in 1.5.0 (2026-07-28)

🙌 Improvements

• Upgraded the bundled HealthChat workspace plugin to v1.1.0:
  • Space administrators can now manage the members of a space directly from the workspace panel.
  • Removing a member from a space now also removes them from the bot-owned rooms inside that space, instead of leaving them behind.
  • The admin area shows the version of the deployed API.
  • The registration form now mentions the SHPC register alongside the diploma upload.
  • Granting the Verwalter role now force-joins the space administrator, fixing cases where the grant appeared to have no effect.

Changes in 1.4.1 (2026-07-14)

🧹 Internal

• Consolidated the "HealthChat Light" theme into a single source of truth (apps/web/element.io/healthchat/HealthChat-Light-Theme.json) that is synced into the web and desktop configs, with a lint check that fails on drift. No user-visible change.

Changes in 1.4.0 (2026-07-14)

🙌 Improvements

• Upgraded the bundled HealthChat workspace plugin to v1.0.0. The plugin now authenticates against the Matrix backend through the MAS Admin API instead of an appservice token.

Changes in 1.3.1 (2026-07-10)

🙌 Improvements

• The Help & About settings tab now has a Sign out button, so you can log out without leaving the settings screen.

Changes in 1.3.0 (2026-07-08)

🙌 Improvements

• The Help & About tab is back in User Settings, in a slimmed-down form that shows the app version and support links.
• The space hierarchy list now uses the shared theme tokens for its hover and separator colours, so it blends in with the rest of the UI.

Changes in 1.2.5 (2026-07-01)

🙌 Improvements

• The desktop app's Help link now points at healthchat.ch.

Changes in 1.2.4 (2026-07-01)

🙌 Improvements

• The Windows installer splash now shows the HealthChat logo instead of the Element icon.
• The desktop About panel now shows the HealthChat brand (author, homepage, and description).
• Help links now point at healthchat.ch.

Changes in 1.2.3 (2026-06-30)

🐛 Fixes

• The desktop app (macOS) now lets you interact with the Mitglieder and Admin pages again. Their inputs and buttons were dead because the window-drag region used for the frameless title bar swallowed all mouse and keyboard events on those pages.

🙌 Improvements

• Share links and QR codes now resolve against to.healthchat.ch instead of the public matrix.to.
• The desktop About panel and macOS app menu now show the HealthChat brand instead of "Element".

Changes in 1.2.2 (2026-06-30)

🐛 Fixes

• The desktop app now talks to the correct API host (api.healthchat.ch). It was pointing at the bare healthchat.ch domain, which bypassed widget auto-approval and could leave permission prompts and revoke/minimise controls showing.

Changes in 1.2.1 (2026-06-28)

🙌 Improvements

• The desktop auto-update prompt now shows what's changed in the new version. On macOS the release notes travel with the update feed; on Windows the app fetches them alongside the download (Squirrel.Windows can't deliver notes inline). The notes are this changelog's entry for the new version.

Changes in 1.2.0 (2026-06-28)

🙌 Improvements

• HealthChat desktop apps now auto-update. Installed macOS and Windows apps check the HealthChat update feed and install new releases automatically, and the public installers are now hosted at https://healthchat.ch/packages/desktop/ so first-time downloads no longer require GitHub access.

🐛 Fixes

• Gated upstream element-hq-only CI workflows (including the Storybook build) so they no longer run — and fail — in this fork.

Changes in 1.1.2 (2026-06-28)

🐛 Fixes

• Removed the Linux desktop build from the release pipeline. It could never succeed in this fork: the upstream Linux build step pulls a build-env Docker image keyed by commit SHA that only exists in the upstream element-hq registry, so every tagged build failed with manifest unknown. Desktop releases now ship macOS (.dmg/.zip) and Windows (.msi/.exe) installers only.

Changes in 1.1.1 (2026-06-26)

🙌 Improvements

• Updated the bundled HealthChat workspace plugin to v0.6.0.

🐛 Fixes

• Fixed the desktop release pipeline so signed Windows and macOS apps build and publish reliably: the build now reads the correct pnpm version, has permission to clone the internal fork, and asserts the desktop app version matches the release tag.

Changes in 1.1.0 (2026-06-26)

🙌 Improvements

• HealthChat desktop apps for Windows (.exe/.msi) and macOS (.dmg) are now built and published alongside Linux on each release, with full HealthChat branding (app icon, name and healthchat:// deep links).
• Windows and macOS desktop builds are code-signed, and macOS builds are notarised, so they install without security warnings.
• Desktop installers are attached directly to the GitHub Release for the tag.

Changes in 1.0.1 (2026-05-15)

🙌 Improvements

• Refined Element Call translations across English, German, French, and Italian.

Changes in 1.0.0 (2026-04-21)

First tagged HealthChat release of element-web.

🙌 Improvements

• Initial HealthChat branding, theming, and healthchat-workspace module integration.
