Description

Complete changelog v1.5

Client-Server API

Backwards Compatible Changes

  • Add m.reference relations, as per MSC3267.
    • Only missing aggregation, if anything?

Spec Clarifications (NOTE: non-actionable things removed, as well as things we don't have implemented at all yet, e.g. refresh tokens clarification would be fixed when implementing refresh tokens)

  • Define a 400 response from /_matrix/client/v3/directory/rooms/{roomAlias}. (#1286)
    • We already return 400, but not the correct errcode

Application Service API

Spec Clarifications

  • Clarify that application services can only register an interest in local users, as per MSC3905. (#1305)
    • From the looks of it, we just compile the provided regex, but don't check if the user is local

Contributor guide

Research direction
Pick a specific sub task from the checklist, such as 'Add m.reference relations' or 'Fix 400 response errcode for directory/rooms/{roomAlias}'. Read the Matrix spec changelog and the referenced MSC. Look at existing Dendrite code for similar relation types or error handling to understand the pattern.
