Hi all,
|
|
|
|
What with the chaos of Mobile World Congress last week we seem to have been hoarding releases - so here's what's been happening!
|
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse">Synapse 0.8.0</a> was released this afternoon. This is a major performance/stability release, with lots of good stuff going on - especially adding more customisable push notification support APIs for iOS/Android; support for registering accounts from mobile devices; extensions to the new Application Service API and lots of federation improvements and bug fixes. <b>Please upgrade at your earliest convenience.</b>
|
|
|
|
Meanwhile, we quietly released the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.matrix.androidsdk.alpha">Matrix Console</a> Android example app to the Google Play last week, alongside <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-android-sdk">v0.2.2 of the Android SDK</a> - release notes below. There'll be a new version of the Android Console app out tomorrow, but mentioning here for completeness and to share the release notes. Also, the <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-ios-sdk">iOS SDK is now on v0.3.1</a>, with lots of performance and usability improvements.
|
|
|
|
Finally, we have a whole new official <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk">Matrix client SDK for JavaScript</a>, all packaged up ready for use by Node developers and JS purists alike as an NPM with minimal dependencies. Meanwhile, the <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-angular-sdk">matrix-angular-sdk</a> has been switched to use matrix-js-sdk from now on. You can use the plain JS API with a <code>npm install matrix-js-sdk</code> and then:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
var sdk = require("matrix-js-sdk");
|
|
var client = sdk.createClient("https://matrix.org");
|
|
client.publicRooms(function(err, data) {'{'}
|
|
console.log("Public Rooms: %s", JSON.stringify(data));
|
|
{'}'});
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
Meanwhile, release notes for all & sundry lie below.

|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
General:
|
|
|
|
* Add support for registration fallback. This is a page hosted on the server
|
|
which allows a user to register for an account, regardless of what client
|
|

|
|
|
|
* Added new default push rules and made them configurable by clients:
|
|

|
|

|
|
* Notify for messages that don't match any rule.
|
|
* Notify on incoming call.
|
|
|
|
Federation:
|
|
|
|
* Added per host server side rate-limiting of incoming federation requests.
|
|
* Added a ``/get_missing_events/`` API to federation to reduce number of
|
|
``/events/`` requests.
|
|
|
|
Configuration:
|
|
|
|
* Added configuration option to disable registration:
|
|
``disable_registration``.
|
|
* Added configuration option to change soft limit of number of open file
|
|
descriptors: ``soft_file_limit``.
|
|
* Make ``tls_private_key_path`` optional when running with ``no_tls``.
|
|
|
|
Application services:
|
|
|
|

SDK
|
|
-----
|
|
Breaks:
|
|
* [MXSession initWithMatrixRestClient: andStore: ] and the onStoreDataReady argument in
|
|
[MXSession start:] has been removed. The SDK client can now use the asynchronous
|
|
[MXSession setStore:] method to define a store and getting notified when the SDK can
|
|
read cached data from it. (SYIOS-62)
|
|
* MXStore implementations must now implement [MXStore openWithCredentials].
|
|
* All MXRestClient methods now return MXHTTPOperation objects.
|
|
|
|
Improvements:
|
|
* Created the MXSession.notificationCenter component: it indicates when an event must be
|
|
notified to the user according to user's push rules settings.
|
|
* MXFileStore: Improved loading performance by 8x.
|
|
* Added an option (MXSession.loadPresenceBeforeCompletingSessionStart) to refresh presence
|
|
data in background when starting a session.
|
|
* Created MXLogger to redirect NSLog to file and to log crashes or uncaught exception.
|
|
* MXRestClient: Added [MXRestClient registerFallback].
|
|
* Logs: Make all NSLog calls follows the same format.
|
|
|
|
Features:
|
|
* SYIOS-40 - Any HTTP request can fail due to rate-limiting on the server, and need to be retried.
|
|
* SYIOS-81 - Ability to send messages in the background.
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
* SYIOS-67 - We should synthesise identicons for users with no avatar.
|
|
