Any news on how the e2e support is progressing? The FAQ [0] says "End-to-end encryption is coming shortly to clients for both 1:1 and group chats to protect user data stored on servers, using the Olm cryptographic ratchet implementation. As of October 2015 this is blocked on implementing the necessary key distribution and fingerprint management." and I can't see much floating around on Github.

I tried asking in the group chat as well but nobody seemed to know.

E2E is our main focus at the moment - sorry for missing the question; we must have missed it. There's nothing on github as the E2E stuff is all hosted on https://matrix.org/git/olm. The FAQ is old - we have finished the 1:1 ratchet and group ratchet and almost all the key distribution stuff. Currently wiring it into all the SDKs and checking it works and then getting it audited. We should be ready to yell about it in N weeks where 2<N<5.
