In `RoomList::entries_with_dynamic_adapters`, we were using the
`Limit::dynamic` constructor. It builds a `Limit` stream adapter where
the limits come from a `Stream`. The immediate impact is that this
constructor does only return a new `Stream`, but it cannot return
the initial items of the vector. Thus, it wasn't possible to reset
the final `Stream` with a `VectorDiff::Reset { values }`. Instead, we
were emitting a `Clear` (from this code) then a `Append` (from the
`Limit` stream). Sadly, for some client apps, like Element X iOS, these
2 diffs (`Clear` and `Append`) result in a “rendering blink”.
Hopefully for us, now there is new constructors for `Limit`! One of them
is `Limit::dynamic_with_initial_limit`, which returns the initial items
along with the new `Stream`. That's perfect, we can reset the final
`Stream` with `Reset { values }` again, thus removing the “UI blinking”
effect in Element X iOS.
This patch switches `Limit::dynamic` to
`Limit::dynamic_with_initial_limit`, and updates/simplifies the tests
accordingly.
matrix-rust-sdk
matrix-rust-sdk is an implementation of a Matrix client-server library in Rust.
Project structure
The rust-sdk consists of multiple crates that can be picked at your convenience:
- matrix-sdk - High level client library, with batteries included, you're most likely interested in this.
- matrix-sdk-base - No (network) IO client state machine that can be used to embed a Matrix client in your project or build a full fledged network enabled client lib on top of it.
- matrix-sdk-crypto - No (network) IO encryption state machine that can be used to add Matrix E2EE support to your client or client library.
Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)
These crates are built with the Rust language version 2021 and require a minimum compiler version of 1.70.
Status
The library is in an alpha state, things that are implemented generally work but the API will change in breaking ways.
If you are interested in using the matrix-sdk now is the time to try it out and provide feedback.
Bindings
Some crates of the matrix-rust-sdk can be embedded inside other
environments, like Swift, Kotlin, JavaScript, Node.js etc. Please,
explore the bindings/ directory to learn more.
