* Jun 2022 [Read marker](https://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/read-marker) - Allows several clients of the same user connected to a server or bouncer to tell each other about which messages have been read in each buffer (channel or query)

### Other

We have reorganized the main [specifications page]({{ site.baseurl }}/irc/) to group related specs together in a more logical manner given the recent additions.

Finally, do check the support tables to see how adoption of our specs is coming along, there've been a bunch of busy implementations over the past year; especially [Goguma](https://sr.ht/~emersion/goguma/), a new Android client spearheading many draft specifications.
