 - `BaseClient` now has a `handle_verification_events` field which is `true` by 
   default and can be negated so the `NotificationClient` won't handle received 
   verification events too, causing errors in the `VerificationMachine`.
+- [**breaking**] `Room::is_encryption_state_synced` has been removed
+  ([#4777](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk/pull/4777))
+- [**breaking**] `Room::is_encrypted` is replaced by `Room::encryption_state`
+  which returns a value of the new `EncryptionState` enum
