Some vulnerabilities in libolm have been disclosed, which in response has been deprecated by the Matrix developers in favour of vodozemac. Is migrating to vodozemac something that might be possible?

    It'll probably be changed eventually as mentioned in https://mau.fi/blog/2024-08-mautrix-release/, fairly low priority though as there's nothing exploitable

    This is currently blocked on matrix-org/vodozemac#95 plus the associated updates to Python bindings
