Comment on Matrix 2.0: Radically faster client, OAuth logins and native video calls

I don’t get how this works in relation with Element X. Surely, installing and using Element X is not sufficient to use Matrix 2.0 protocols is it? I mean, it must depends on the room version and the like, right?

Element X implements most of the client side stuff mentioned above, but it doesn’t depend on a specific room version: instead, your homeserver must implement/run an additional service (a “sliding sync” proxy, a special binary written in Go that is deployed alongside Synapse) and then advertise that services existence.
If it does the latter, Element X will know where to connect and will function.
Note that this is only temporary so that people can make use of Sync V3 before it officially lands in Synapse. And it, technically, isn’t synapse exclusive either, as it’s its own thing.

OK, it’s clearer now, thanks for the explanation!
