Changes in synapse v0.29.0 (2018-05-16) =========================================== Changes in synapse v0.29.0-rc1 (2018-05-14) =========================================== Notable changes, a docker file for running Synapse (Thanks to @kaiyou!) and a closed spec bug in the Client Server API. Additionally further prep for Python 3 migration. Potentially breaking change: * Make Client-Server API return 401 for invalid token (PR #3161). This changes the Client-server spec to return a 401 error code instead of 403 when the access token is unrecognised. This is the behaviour required by the specification, but some clients may be relying on the old, incorrect behaviour. Thanks to @NotAFile for fixing this.
