TriCord changelog

v0.6.0 · Nov 1, 2026

Huge performance improvements and animated GIF support!

Performance

  • Rebuilt the entire networking layer to be lighter and more efficient
  • Frames where nothing changed are no longer drawn, and rendering, background threads and texture memory have been optimized
  • Accounts with hundreds of servers no longer run out of memory
  • Custom emoji and avatars load faster, with on-screen emoji fetched first
  • QR login key generation is much faster
  • Old 3DS uses fewer network workers and caps remote images at 256px, while New 3DS decodes images and emoji on its extra CPU core
  • Voice calls are much lighter: a fixed-point Opus build cuts encoding time by about 40% on a real Old 3DS, and echo cancellation has been reworked for the 3DS CPU

GIFs

  • GIFs now play in attachments, stickers and embeds such as Tenor, along with animated custom emoji
  • GIF embeds are shown without the embed frame or link
  • Playback is limited to 30 fps on New 3DS and 15 fps on Old 3DS. GIFs larger than 6 MB on New 3DS or 3 MB on Old 3DS are shown as still images

Bots

  • Added support for buttons, select menus and forms (modals)
  • Added support for Components V2 messages and ephemeral messages
  • Fixed application command replies not being displayed, and added the "used /command" line

Voice

  • Added a voice panel with per-user volume and microphone sensitivity
  • Echo cancellation is now always on for every model, and its setting has been removed
  • Encryption key changes no longer stall audio
  • Reduced latency and echo in voice calls, with better optimization for Nintendo 2DS, by @Nicolino075 in https://github.com/2b-zipper/TriCord/pull/63

Security

  • WebSocket connections now verify TLS certificates
  • QR login now verifies the public key fingerprint
  • Fixed TLS and QR login keys being generated without a proper random source
  • Removed the option to disable SSL certificate verification

Other changes

  • Added a setting to turn off the notification sound
  • Added a token login hint to the login screen
  • Added a runtime stats overlay (hold R and press L)
  • Reactions now appear immediately and are sent in order
  • Fixed channels staying unread after leaving them
  • Fixed returning to channel selection instead of the server list from menu screens
  • Fixed the threads menu item not showing for channels with only archived threads
  • Fixed reactions overlapping system messages
  • Updated translations
