I haven't been following Matrix development too closely, but last I heard, both the protocol and the reference implementation had serious flaws, including gaping security holes. As in, issues that couldn't be overcome without a clean-slate redesign. Did they somehow manage to salvage something useable?
Got any more info on what you heard? There were problems in their Olm library (certain vulnerabilities with encryption that could be exploited) and they encouraged projects (servers + clients) to switch to a more secure library. Anything else you are thinking of?
Do you have the issue trackers?
