1701213 - Send m.read and m.fully_read receipts

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Chat Core :: Matrix, enhancement)

Description

[Martin Giger [:freaktechnik]]

We should indicate the read and fully read states back to the server for a better cross-client experience.

We might also want m.fully_read for our own sync state management so we can show meaningful catchup messages when re-connecting.

I'm guessing this requires the UI calling back to the protocol to tell it that things have been read? Shouldn't be too bad to add an API for that.

Yeah, either by adding callbacks on the prplIMessage interface, or on the prplIConversation. The suggested callbacks would be message displayed for m.read (which means we printed the message in a chat browser that the user has displayed) and read marker moved (for the built in read marker we have) for m.fully_read
