This is some preparatory work for fixing up the problems with te timeline
ordering of unsent messages
(https://github.com/vector-im/vector-web/issues/1120). The functional changes
here should be minimal (bar an extra `Room.localEchoUpdated` when the local
echo is first added to the timeline).
Give `MatrixClient.sendEvent` its own entry point `Room.addPendingMessage`
instead of pushing it through `addEventsToTimeline`; this considerably
simplifies the implementation of the latter and also means that we can contain
the `_txnId` ming to MatrixClient.
Move the code which deals with a successful `/send` response from
`MatrixClient` into `Room.updatePendingEvent`, since it involves fiddling with
the innards of the Room.
Also adds a new EventStatus 'SENT' for events which have been successfully sent
but whose remote echo we still haven't received.
Transmission of encrypted messages was happening somewhat differently to
normal messages. In particular, we weren't copying the 'unsigned' field when we
got the remote-echo, which meant the 'sync' code didn't correctly match up the
echo with the original.
The separate codepath was becoming a thorn in my side, so fix things up to
bring it back in line.
We need to know about more transitions for local-echo status changes, so raise
localEchoUpdated events for each transition.
Fixes an issue where we weren't turning failed transmissions red, because the
timeline wasn't being updated.
We need to reset things at the UI level when we get a gappy sync, so give the
clients something to listen for.
Also add a bunch of tests for that bit of code.
In order to resolve the conflict between local and remote read-receipts, try to
give precedence to the read-receipt which refers to the most recent event.
Also fix the read-receipt synthesis in _addLiveEvents so that it actually works
(drop the spurious MatrixEvent wrapper), and remove the synthesis in
recalculate() (which appears to be redundant).
This provides optional support for fetching old events via the /context API,
and paginating backwards and forwards from them, eventually merging into the
live timeline.
To support it, events are now stored in an EventTimeline, rather than directly
in an array in the Room; the old names are maintained as references for
compatibility.
The feature has to be enabled explicitly, otherwise it would be impossible for
existing clients to back-paginate to the old events after a gappy /sync.
Still TODO here:
* An object which provides a window into the timelines to make them possible to
use. This will be a separate PR.
* Rewrite the 'EventContext' used by the searchRoomEvents API in terms of an
EventTimeline - it is essentially a subset.
