My colleague Magnus presented what's new and magical in PostgreSQL 11. My colleague Magnus presented what's new and magical in PostgreSQL 11. Some of the ones that interested me were:
* RANGE BETWEEN, allowing you to operate on windows in your data in ranges based on any sortable data type
* Stored procedures, making it much easier to migrate from... other database systems which one might encounter when you need to embed transactions inside your code
* Logical replication of TRUNCATE, which was confusing by its absence
And of course general improvements in performance, with better use of parallelism.
If you're a PostgreSQL user I'd suggest checking the talk out yourself to get all the details.

## Matrix France ## [Matrix in the French State](https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/matrix_french_state/) --- Matthew Hodgson
The French government were looking for a new communication tool and landed on
Matrix. This talk covered some of the design and deployment of this solution,
and the challenges involved. He also talked about the feedback into the open
source project and the improvements we can expect or access now.
I found this talk enthralling, because I had reviewed Matrix for use as a
corporate communications tool a couple of years ago when it was much more basic,
and it was delightful to see how far they have come. Developments like easily
verifiable end-to-end encryption in this sort of tool just sound marvellous.
The improvements they have made in the development version of Riot bring it up
to par with (dare I say better than?) the major players in this field.
Definitely a project to keep an eye on.
