If a box is corrupted the clear function fails on it. Then
we should delete the box from the disk.
Currently we use the Hive.deletefromDisk() method which does not
work because it deletes only open boxes, but the box is obviously not open in
this case.
Previously we had a check which uses the old
sortOrder value.
This check has been removed with the refactoring which leads to
bug #209. This fixes it by checking if the
event is already known in the database.
I am not 100% happy with this solution as this database api is impossible
to be implemented with a sqlite db. Once we start to refactor the whole sync update logic
we maybe could find a better way, but only the fox god knows.
Previously when using RoomUpdate in the constructor the notificationCount to update
was never null and set to 0 if it was missing. Now that we are
no longer using it, I forgot to
add the null fallback at this point.
This leads to serious crashes in the apps at runtime
and thats why I bump the version here as well!
The method was not type safe and therefore there
was no warning that with the sortOrder changes
now DateTimes are compared which leads to
an exception in the app if not using converting to milliseconds first.
RoomUpdate came from a time where we had no data model for
SyncUpdates but now we have and therefore this class is just
code duplication. This removes the class
and uses the SyncRoomUpdate class from
the package matrix_api_lite instead.
It needed a lot of refactoring at some places
where I also have removed some unnecessary null or type checks.
This is an edge case which might occour
on unstable data connections. The user sends an event and receives the sync
before the response to the sending
http request. This leads to duplicated
events while the response actually
should be ignored at this point.
The current implementation of sortOrder can be made way more easier now
by just keeping the sortOrder of the list
and the timelineFragments in the hiveStore. This needed a huge
change but mostly removes a lot of code which can be done
way more easy now. This also needed some rewriting of the setState logic and changes to
the prevEvent calculation. This solution should also be more stable.

Normally we do not need a workaround here at all but we had
one in the displayname calculation for
historical reasons. A "good" server should always send the mHeroes correctly.
Instead of removing this workaround completely we do a compromise and implement a more
lightweight alt behaviour by just saying that in a DM room with no
heroes, the directChatMatrixId will be used. This is the same behaviour like in Element
and needs way less lines than before and also covers the avatar
calculation. For Synapse we seem to not need this but for Conduit it
might be helpful.
That way some concurrency bugs might be fixed, such as if two sync
requests are processed at the same time. That can e.g. happen if you
request history while a sync request is already being processed.
