Changes in synapse v0.18.0 (2016-09-19)
=======================================

The release includes major changes to the state storage database schemas, which
significantly reduce database size. Synapse will attempt to upgrade the current
data in the background. Servers with large SQLite database may experience
degradation of performance while this upgrade is in progress, therefore you may
want to consider migrating to using Postgres before upgrading very large SQLite
daabases

Changes:

* Make public room search case insensitive (PR #1127)

Bug fixes:
