Rework how room versions are represented
Versions are actually on a scale of recommendations, and are expected to be created as needed. The scale presented here (develop/beta/default/recommended/mandatory) is a more wordy version of what was previously discussed/intended for room versions - the labels aren't final and may be changed.pull/977/head

# How to release Room Version 2
|
||||
|
||||
Room versions are a bit special for the release given they have been
|
||||
introduced at v2 rather than ever getting a v1 release. Additionally,
|
||||
room versions have different release requirements due to the in-project
|
||||
versioning of documents rather than relying on matrix.org to maintain
|
||||
old generated output of specifications.
|
||||
|
||||
As of writing, the project is structured to support 3 logical versions
|
||||
for rooms: v1, v2, and unstable. Unstable is currently pointed at v2
|
||||
in order to aid development. After v2 is released, unstable may wish
|
||||
to be left as an independent version or similarly be pointed at a "v3"
|
||||
document.
|
||||
|
||||
Due to room versions being versioned in-project, the generated output
|
||||
from a release is not to be sent off to matrix-doc/matrix.org. Instead,
|
||||
in `gendoc.py` the default value for `--room_version` should be set to
|
||||
the current release (`v2`, for example) so the index renders the right
|
||||
edition in the table.
|
||||
|
||||
After editing `gendoc.py`, the changelog should be generated according
|
||||
to the towncrier instructions. You may need to fix the `.. version: v2`
|
||||
comment located in the `rooms.rst` changelog to be just underneath the
|
||||
title instead of at the end of the section.
|
||||
|
||||
The `targets.yaml` file needs to be set up to point unstable to the
|
||||
right set of files. Ensure that `unstable.rst` is referenced instead
|
||||
of `v2.rst`, and that `unstable.rst` has appropriate contents.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, in the `intro.rst` for room versions, re-add unstable to the
|
||||
list of available versions. It is currently commented out to avoid
|
||||
confusing people, so it should be possible to uncomment it and put it
|
||||
back into the list.
|
||||
|
||||
From there, the standard process of using a release branch, tagging it,
|
||||
and announcing it to the world should be followed. If required, the
|
||||
various other APIs should be updated to better support the new room
|
||||
version.

Room Specification
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
.. contents:: Table of Contents
|
||||
.. sectnum::
|
||||
|
||||
Rooms are central to how Matrix operates, and have strict rules for what
|
||||
is allowed to be contained within them. Rooms can also have various
|
||||
algorithms that handle different tasks, such as what to do when two or
|
||||
more events collide in the underlying DAG. To allow rooms to be improved
|
||||
upon through new algorithms or rules, "room versions" are employed to
|
||||
manage a set of expectations for each room.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Room version grammar
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Room versions are used to change properties of rooms that may not be compatible
|
||||
with other servers. For example, changing the rules for event authorization would
|
||||
cause older servers to potentially end up in a split-brain situation due to them
|
||||
not understanding the new rules.
|
||||
|
||||
A room version is defined as a string of characters which MUST NOT exceed 32
|
||||
codepoints in length. Room versions MUST NOT be empty and SHOULD contain only
|
||||
the characters ``a-z``, ``0-9``, ``.``, and ``-``.
|
||||
|
||||
Room versions are not intended to be parsed and should be treated as opaque
|
||||
identifiers. Room versions consisting only of the characters ``0-9`` and ``.``
|
||||
are reserved for future versions of the Matrix protocol.
|
||||
|
||||
The complete grammar for a legal room version is::
|
||||
|
||||
room_version = 1*room_version_char
|
||||
room_version_char = DIGIT
|
||||
/ %x61-7A ; a-z
|
||||
/ "-" / "."
|
||||
|
||||
Examples of valid room versions are:
|
||||
|
||||
* ``1`` (would be reserved by the Matrix protocol)
|
||||
* ``1.2`` (would be reserved by the Matrix protocol)
|
||||
* ``1.2-beta``
|
||||
* ``com.example.version``
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Other room versions
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The available room versions are:
|
||||
|
||||
* `Version 1 <v1.html>`_ - The current version of most rooms.
|
||||
* `Version 2 <v2.html>`_ - Currently in development.
|
||||
|
||||
.. Note: the 'unstable' version is commented out pending a real release of rooms v2
|
||||
.. See meta/releasing-rooms-v2.md
|
||||
.. * `Unstable <unstable.html>`_ - The upcoming version of the room specification.
