+
+[Matchbox] is a library for easily establishing unreliable, unordered,
+peer-to-peer WebRTC data connections using rust WASM. This enables low-latency
+multiplayer browser games.
+
+Originally, it was written for web assembly, but a native implementation using
+[WebRTC.rs] has been available since 0.4. However, a few minor incompatibilities
+between the two implementations meant connections between native and web
+were not possible.
+
+In version 0.5, however, [Alex Rozgo] fixed the the last of these issues. And
+cross-play sessions are now finally fully supported.
+
+In addition, [johanhelsing][johanhelsing_mastodon] fixed a serious bug that used
+to cause disconnections on recent versions of Firefox.
+
+The tutorial series on [how to make a p2p web game with Bevy, GGRS and
+Matchbox][extreme_bevy] was also updated to the latest versions of all three
+libraries.
