About Rocket.Chat
Rocket.Chat grinds through 8.5/8.6 release candidates with security and federation work underneath
Rocket.Chat's feed is a stream of 8.5.x and 8.6.x release candidates, most of which are routine meteor version bumps and dependency updates. The substance sits in the .rc.0 cuts, where the real minor changes land: a unified presence engine foundation, attribute-based access control (ABAC) work, and an OAuth security overhaul.
