BREAKING CHANGE

In order to support a move to a more scalable storage backend, we need to make
a number of the APIs related end-to-end encryption asynchronous.
This release of the JS-SDK includes the following changes which will affect
applications which support end-to-end encryption:

  1. MatrixClient now provides a new (asynchronous) method,
    initCrypto. Applications which support end-to-end encryption must call
    this method (and wait for it to complete) before calling startClient, to
    give the crypto layer a chance to initialise.
  2. The following APIs have been changed to return promises:
  • MatrixClient.getStoredDevicesForUser
  • MatrixClient.getStoredDevice
  • MatrixClient.setDeviceVerified
  • MatrixClient.setDeviceBlocked
  • MatrixClient.setDeviceKnown
  • MatrixClient.getEventSenderDeviceInfo
  • MatrixClient.isEventSenderVerified
  • MatrixClient.importRoomKeys
    Applications using the results of any of the above methods will need to be
    updated to wait for the result of the promise.
  1. MatrixClient.listDeviceKeys has been removed altogether. It's been
    deprecated for some time. Applications using it should instead be changed to
    use MatrixClient.getStoredDevices, which is similar but returns its results
    in a slightly different format.
