SDK API changes ⚠️

  • Stop using original_event field from /relations endpoint (#7282)
  • Add formattedText or similar optional parameters in several methods:
  • RelationService:
    • editTextMessage
    • editReply
    • replyToMessage
  • SendService:
    • sendQuotedTextMessage
      This allows us to send any HTML formatted text message without needing to rely on automatic Markdown > HTML translation. All these new parameters have a null value by default, so previous calls to these API methods remain compatible. (#7288)

  • Allow getting the formatted or plain text body of a message for the fun TimelineEvent.getTextEditableContent(). (#7359)

  • Dependency to arrow has been removed. Please use org.matrix.android.sdk.api.util.Optional instead. (#7335)
  • Update WYSIWYG editor designs. (#7354)
  • Update WYSIWYG library to v0.2.1. (#7384)
