v1.5.4

Changes in Matrix-SDK v1.5.4 (2022-10-25)

Imported from Element 1.5.4. (https://github.com/vector-im/element-android/releases/tag/v1.5.4)

Target API 33.

SDK API changes ⚠️

• Stop using original_event field from /relations endpoint (#7282)
• Add formattedText or similar optional parameters in several methods:

• RelationService:
  • editTextMessage
  • editReply
  • replyToMessage
• SendService:
  • sendQuotedTextMessage
    This allows us to send any HTML formatted text message without needing to rely on automatic Markdown > HTML translation. All these new parameters have a null value by default, so previous calls to these API methods remain compatible. (#7288)

• Add support for m.login.token auth during QR code based sign in (#7358)
• Allow getting the formatted or plain text body of a message for the fun TimelineEvent.getTextEditableContent(). (#7359)
