-> And a final call to developers, protocol designers, and future MSC writers to attend the ["Authenticated media & how to ship spec features"](https://cfp.matrix.org/matrixconf2024/talk/P9KPFG/) and ["MSC Process Guidance"](https://cfp.matrix.org/matrixconf2024/talk/VJVF3T/) talks in LAB 4 at this year's Matrix Conference! We'll be discussing the spec process itself, as well as how large features (and breaking changes in the spec) get designed, developed, and deployed with support from the MSC process.
+> ~~Hello from the [Matrix Conference 2024](https://2024.matrix.org/)! `richvdh`, `matthew`, `tulir`, `travisr`, `kitsune` and I (`anoa`) are around - come find us at the conference if you want to talk spec!~~

The talks about ["Authenticated media & how to ship spec features"](https://cfp.matrix.org/matrixconf2024/talk/P9KPFG/) and ["MSC Process Guidance"](https://cfp.matrix.org/matrixconf2024/talk/VJVF3T/) already happened and you can find the MSC written during the conference as [MSC4197](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4197). Thanks to Matthew there even has been [an implementation](https://github.com/element-hq/matrix-react-sdk/pull/83).

-> Lots of tools have been added, updated or reworked since the original post back in May!
->
-> A short list of major changes:
->
-> * A general tool list has been added, as well as a Labs section! Visit your nearest RMU instance to learn all about them!
-> * Policy list editor can create new policies (*even in bulk!*, though beware, bulk addition is still very much in beta, "works but no guarantees")
-> * Bulk writing of bans via Policy List Editor has deprecated the "Mass CME Ban" tool, which had been written to cover a very specific use case. This opens up the tooling for a lot more users, especially when dealing with spam waves!
-> * Partial support for the concept of authenticated media, though I'd like to raise a severe epilepsy warning!
-> * Lots of stability and improvements due to upstream Rory&::LibMatrix changes and improvements
-> * Some tools have seen a 60%+ performance improvement! (Policy List Editor mainly)
-> * Membership history viewer is now more informative about what actually changed, enabling more uses for the tool
-> * Joining a space's children is now recursive
->
-> The "first party" instance is available at <https://mru.rory.gay>, and is a clientside-only web app!
-> If RMU has provided value in your daily routines or as a one time thing, please do consider donating over at [Liberapay](https://liberapay.com/RorySys)!
->
-> ***And, as with all of the other projects:***

-> * The code is available at [cgit.rory.gay](https://cgit.rory.gay/matrix/tools/MatrixUtils.git/)!
