Encrypted messages will not be visible on clients that do not yet implement encryption.

Changes in Matrix iOS SDK in 0.1.0 (2014-12-09)

SDK:

  • Added MXStore, an abstract interface to store events received from the Home Server. It comes with two implementations: MXNoStore and MXMemoryStore:

    • MXNoStore does not store events. The SDK will always make requests to the HS.
    • MXMemoryStore stores them in memory. The SDK will make requests to the HS only if required.

  • Added MXRoomPowerLevels, an helper class to get power levels values of a room.

  • Improved [MXStore resume]. It takes now a callback to inform the app when the SDK data is synchronised with the HS.

Matrix Console:
  • Use MXMemoryStore to reuse events already downloaded.
  • Use new [MXStore resume] method to show an activity indicator while resuming the SDK.
  • In the recents tab, highlight rooms with unread messages.
  • Added search inputs in public rooms and in recents.
  • Prevent user from doing actions (kick, ban, change topic, etc) when he does not have enough power level.
