Phabricator integrates with Git, Mercurial, and Subversion. It is available as free software under the Apache License 2.0.

Phabricator was originally developed as an internal tool at Facebook [8] [9] [10] overseen by Evan Priestley. [1] Priestley left Facebook to continue Phabricator's development in a new company called Phacility. [2]

On May 29, 2021, Phacility announced that it was ceasing operations and no longer maintaining Phabricator starting June 1, 2021. [5] A community fork, Phorge, was created and announced its stable release to the public on September 7, 2022. [11]

Matrix is an open standard and communication protocol for real-time communication. It aims to make real-time communication work seamlessly between different service providers, in the way that standard Simple Mail Transfer Protocol email currently does for store-and-forward email service, by allowing users with accounts at one communications service provider to communicate with users of a different service provider via online chat, voice over IP, and videotelephony. It therefore serves a similar purpose to protocols like XMPP, but is not based on any existing communication protocol.
