This is a combination of a few different PRs, finally all being merged into `develop`:
* #5875
* #5876
* #5868 (This one added the `/versions` flag but the flag itself was actually [backed out](891afb57cb (diff-e591d42d30690ffb79f63bb726200891)) in #5969. What's left is just giving /versions access to the config file, which could be useful in the future)
* #5835
* #5969
* #5940
Clients should not actually use the new registration functionality until https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5972 is merged.
UPGRADE.rst, changelog entries and config file changes should all be reviewed closely before this PR is merged.
Set the limit on the returned events in the timeline in the get and sync
operations. The default value is -1, means no upper limit.
For example, using `filter_timeline_limit: 5000`:
POST /_matrix/client/r0/user/user:id/filter
{
room: {
timeline: {
limit: 1000000000000000000
}
}
}
GET /_matrix/client/r0/user/user:id/filter/filter:id
{
room: {
timeline: {
limit: 5000
}
}
}
The server cuts down the room.timeline.limit.
implement a GET /devices endpoint which lists all of the user's devices.
It also returns the last IP where we saw that device, so there is some dancing
to fish that out of the user_ips table.
