**Amethyst v1.15.2 refines NIP-22 replies**
Released September 12, the patch "splits NIP-22 root-scope replies into separate engagement filters," alongside media-extension and Health Connect fixes — a small but concrete move on the replies question tracked in the baseline, no change to its NIP-17/Marmot DM stance.
**Marmot interop hit early bugs, now largely fixed**
A same-day PR (4109) tested Marmot/White Noise interop against an embedded relay: only 17 of 29 scenarios passed at first, because White Noise's MDK treats any non-"duplicate:" OK-false as unknown and retries forever, exposing non-compliant relay handling of duplicate and superseded events. After fixes, 28 of 29 passed; the last failure is MLS replay reporting, not Nostr transport.

**Amethyst ships Marmot, becomes largest client on MLS messaging**
Amethyst released v1.15.0 on September 11 (patched hours later as v1.15.1 for an Android AGP 9.4.0 build block), adding Marmot protocol updates alongside an advanced search box and Books/DVM support. Marmot layers MLS group-key-agreement cryptography on Nostr transport, superseding NIP-EE; until now it was implemented chiefly by the dedicated app White Noise, so Amethyst adopting it makes private group messaging a three-way split — NIP-04, NIP-17 gift wrap, and now Marmot/MLS — rather than the two-way DM contest tracked so far, with Amethyst keeping NIP-17 support alongside rather than dropping it.
