We released Zulip Server 11.1 today! This is a bug fix release, containing cherry-picked changes since Zulip Server 11.0.

Upgrading

We recommend that all installations upgrade to this new release. See the upgrade instructions in the Zulip documentation. Zulip Cloud has already been upgraded with the improvements in this release.

Commercial support for server upgrades is available for installations that purchase a Business or Enterprise plan. For community support, everyone is welcome to drop by the Zulip development community.

Notable changes

  • Added upgrade instructions for Debian 12 → 13.

  • Improved the label for channels not in a folder when channel folders are in use.
  • Improved visual spacing and alignment in the web app left and right sidebars.

  • Fixed internals of message reminder body construction.

  • Fixed the copy keyboard shortcut not working for logged-out access.

  • Fixed a bug resulting in useless extra suggestions in the search typeahead.
  • Optimized performance for processing deleted messages slightly.
