Dendrite 0.8.2

on GitHub

Features

• Lazy-loading has been added to the /sync endpoint, which should speed up syncs considerably
• Filtering has been added to the /messages endpoint
• The room summary now contains "heroes" (up to 5 users in the room) for clients to display when no room name is set
• The existing lazy-loading caches will now be used by /messages and /context so that member events will not be sent to clients more times than necessary
• The account data stream now uses the provided filters
• The built-in NATS Server has been updated to version 2.8.0
• The /state and /state_ids endpoints will now return M_NOT_FOUND for rejected events
• Repeated calls to the /redact endpoint will now be idempotent when a transaction ID is given
• Dendrite should now be able to run as a Windows service under Service Control Manager

Fixes

• Fictitious presence updates will no longer be created for users which have not sent us presence updates, which should speed up complete syncs considerably
• Uploading cross-signing device signatures should now be more reliable, fixing a number of bugs with cross-signing
• All account data should now be sent properly on a complete sync, which should eliminate problems with client settings or key backups appearing to be missing
• Account data will now be limited correctly on incremental syncs, returning the stream position of the most recent update rather than the latest stream position
• Account data will not be sent for parted rooms, which should reduce the number of left/forgotten rooms reappearing in clients as empty rooms
• The TURN username hash has been fixed which should help to resolve some problems when using TURN for voice calls (contributed by fcwoknhenuxdfiyv)
• Push rules can no longer be modified using the account data endpoints
• Querying account availability should now work properly in polylith deployments
• A number of bugs with sync filters have been fixed
• A default sync filter will now be used if the request contains a filter ID that does not exist
• The pushkey_ts field is now using seconds instead of milliseconds
• A race condition when gracefully shutting down has been fixed, so JetStream should no longer cause the process to exit before other Dendrite components are finished shutting down
