About Rocket.Chat
Rocket.Chat is methodically migrating off Meteor DDP toward a REST core
Rocket.Chat is mid-flight on its 8.5/8.6 release-candidate cycle. Beneath a steady stream of RC version bumps, the substantive work is a deliberate migration of client traffic from legacy Meteor DDP methods to REST endpoints, plus security hardening, federation fixes, and self-hostable building blocks like LibreTranslate auto-translation.
