Features:
- Add `typing` extension.
- Add `receipts` extension.
- Add comprehensive prometheus `/metrics` activated via `SYNCV3_PROM`.
- Add `SYNCV3_PPROF` support.
- Add `by_notification_level` sort order.
- Add `include_old_rooms` support.
- Add support for `$ME` and `$LAZY`.
- Add correct filtering when `*,*` is used as `required_state`.
- Add `num_live` to each room response to indicate how many timeline entries are live.
Bug fixes:
- Use a stricter comparison function on ranges: fixes an issue whereby UTs fail on go1.19 due to change in sorting algorithm.
- Send back an `errcode` on HTTP errors (e.g expired sessions).
- Remove `unsigned.txn_id` on insertion into the DB. Otherwise other users would see other users txn IDs :(
- Improve range delta algorithm: previously it didn't handle cases like `[0,20] -> [20,30]` and would panic.
- Send HTTP 400 for invalid range requests.
- Don't publish no-op unread counts which just adds extra noise.
- Fix leaking DB connections which could eventually consume all available connections.
- Ensure we always unblock WaitUntilInitialSync even on invalid access tokens. Other code relies on WaitUntilInitialSync() actually returning at _some_ point e.g on startup we have N workers which bound the number of concurrent pollers made at any one time, we need to not just hog a worker forever.
Improvements:
- Greatly improve startup times of sync3 handlers by improving `JoinedRoomsTracker`: a modest amount of data would take ~28s to create the handler, now it takes 4s.
- Massively improve initial initial v3 sync times, by refactoring `JoinedRoomsTracker`, from ~47s to <1s.
- Add `SlidingSyncUntil...` in tests to reduce races.
- Tweak the API shape of JoinedUsersForRoom to reduce state block processing time for large rooms from 63s to 39s.
- Add trace task for initial syncs.
- Include the proxy version in UA strings.
- HTTP errors now wait 1s before returning to stop clients tight-looping on error.
- Pending event buffer is now 2000.
- Index the room ID first to cull the most events when returning timeline entries. Speeds up `SelectLatestEventsBetween` by a factor of 8.
- Remove cancelled `m.room_key_requests` from the to-device inbox. Cuts down the amount of events in the inbox by ~94% for very large (20k+) inboxes, ~50% for moderate sized (200 events) inboxes. Adds book-keeping to remember the unacked to-device position for each client.
