At The Matrix Conference 2025, I shared the latest updates on Element Server Suite (ESS) - our distribution for Matrix-based deployments. ESS includes both the Classic stack and the new Helm-based ESS stack (organised into three editions: Community, Pro and TI-Messenger). Let’s break down their capabilities, and take a look at what’s ahead on the roadmap. Watch the whole presentation.

Act now: continue sending & receiving encrypted messages In April 2026, we will be rolling out a significant update to strengthen the security of your conversations: unverified devices will no longer be able to send and receive end-to-end encrypted messages via Element.

We’re happy to announce that new Long Term Support (LTS) releases for Element Server Suite (ESS) are now available for ESS Classic, ESS Pro and ESS TI-M. We encourage our customers to upgrade accordingly. Long Term Support versions, of course, are of particular importance for workplace deployments that need to prioritise stability over new features. Please visit ESS Classic 25.10 LTS release notes or ESS Pro 25.10 LTS release notes for full details.

At The Matrix Conference 2025, I had the opportunity to present how we’re building large-scale, multi-tenancy hosting for TI-Messenger - the standard for secure communications across the German healthcare system.
