About Rocket.Chat
Rocket.Chat pours its energy into enterprise access governance while grinding through 8.5 release candidates.
Rocket.Chat is stabilizing its 8.5 line through a long run of release candidates, most of which only bump the underlying Meteor monorepo with no user-visible change. The substantive work sits in the 8.6.0-rc.0 and 8.5.0-rc.0 baselines: attribute-based access control (ABAC), phishing-resistant MFA, hardened OAuth, and a re-architected presence engine. The team's attention is clearly on enterprise security and governance rather than end-user chat features.
