6.3 release notes

October 8, 2020

This page describes release information relating to all Matrix 6.3 versions including patch releases.

Improvements

The following improvements were introduced in this version of Matrix.

Improved main panel UI architecture

The backend UI’s main panel architecture has been upgraded significantly to improve how all screens load and save within the UI.

The notable difference with this new architecture is that the main panel no longer loads through an iframe. Removing iframe dependencies improves the front-end performance of how screens are loaded and saved across all areas of Matrix 6. The move away from iframes also provides more flexibility in how future UI improvements and features are added to the product.
