Nextcloud Talk is cutting v24 RC with permanent call rooms, advanced noise suppression, and avatar-menu calling.

◆Current state
The project is in the final stretch of a major version: v24.0.0-beta.1 dropped May 4 and v24.0.0-rc.1 followed on May 13. The beta introduced permanent call rooms, calling from the avatar menu, advanced noise suppression, conversation tagging and sorting, and attachment grouping. In parallel, the team is shipping backport-heavy maintenance releases on three older stable lines (21.1.x, 22.0.x, 23.0.x), with signaling and federation reliability fixes dominating the bugfix queue.
◆Where it's heading
v24 is being positioned as a structural upgrade rather than a cosmetic one: presence is no longer tied to ad-hoc rooms, calls are surfaced from the OS-like avatar menu, and audio quality gets a meaningful lift. The maintenance branches show a project under enterprise-style support pressure — federation, signaling, calendar integration, and bot behavior keep generating fixes across multiple supported versions. The combination signals a mature product investing simultaneously in capability and long-tail stability.
◆Prediction
v24.0.0 stable is the likely next move within the next two to three weeks given the rc.1 milestone. Expect at least one more rc to absorb regression reports from the beta's larger surface area before the final tag.

    v24.0.0-rc.1

    Release candidate for v24 that adds email guests without requiring a public link and a setting to force-enable the lobby. The rest is regression fixes against the beta — exactly the shape of a normal pre-stable rc.

    v24.0.0-beta.1

    ⚡ SPARK

    v24 beta is the directional release of the cycle: permanent call rooms, calling from the avatar menu, advanced noise suppression, attachment grouping per conversation, and conversation tagging. Each one shifts how users actually live in Talk day-to-day.

    v22.0.12

    Maintenance release on the 22.0 line carrying a substantial fix bundle — bot lifecycle, federation session handling, calendar appointment expiry, signaling for live transcription, and conversation list resilience. Reflects the breadth of the support burden the team carries while v24 ships.

    v21.1.11

    Stable31 maintenance release focused on a calendar integration fix and a federation session-id check on conversation leave. Narrow scope; the kind of release that exists because someone is paying for 21.x support.

    v22.0.11

    Earlier 22.0.x patch concentrated on signaling correctness — recipient room checks, support limits without conversation tokens, hosted HPB nonce handling — plus chat, federation, and video-verification fixes. Same theme as 22.0.12: reliability work on the call and federation path.

    v21.1.10

    Stable31 companion to 22.0.11, carrying the same signaling reliability fixes back to the 21.1 line. The fact that these fixes need to travel three branches deep is the clearest signal of how seriously the team takes legacy support.
