Nextcloud Talk Desktop 2.3.3 adds accessibility options and bundles Talk v25.0.6.

◆Current state
Nextcloud Talk Desktop v2.3.3 bundles Talk v25.0.6 and adds a high-contrast toggle, a dyslexia-friendly font, a remembered window position and a release channel choice that persists. It also shrinks the app by no longer bundling Talk assets into every entry point, and moves the build to electron-forge v8 with Talk pulled as an npm dependency. v2.3.2 had brought Talk v25 stable and fixed an E2EE call regression and Windows ARM64 crashes.
◆Where it's heading
With Talk v25 stable, the desktop app has shifted from tracking a major release to polishing it: accessibility, window behaviour and package size. The build changes make it easier to follow Talk server point releases quickly, and the earlier managed-configuration work (Windows GPO, macOS defaults) shows continued attention to enterprise deployment.
◆Prediction
Expect more frequent v2.3.x builds that bump bundled Talk v25 point releases, helped by the npm-based Talk dependency. Nothing in the entries points to the next major desktop feature.

    Talk Desktop 2.3.3: accessibility options, smaller app, Talk 25.0.6

    After the Talk v25 stable release, this build turns to polish: high-contrast and dyslexia-font options, a remembered window position and a persistent beta channel choice, plus a smaller app. Moving Talk to an npm dependency should make future server bumps faster.

    Nextcloud Talk Desktop 2.3.2: Talk v25 stable + E2EE call fix

    The v2.3.2 stable release brings Talk v25.0.0 to all users and closes several reliability gaps: E2EE calls with no audio/video (a complete regression for encrypted calls), Windows ARM64 crashes, Linux tray icon absence, and Flatpak drag-and-drop failures. The Electron 44.3.0 update and media list pagination add platform currency and a UX improvement for browsing large attachment galleries.

    Fix: visually broken reply quotes and file previews

    Reply quotes and file previews were visually broken by a PostCSS BOM issue — a bug with real-world visibility for anyone reviewing messages with attachments. The fix (pinning postcss@8.5.23) resolves a regression that affected the core messaging workflow.
