Changes in synapse v0.12.0-rc1 (2015-12-10)
===========================================

* Host the client APIs released as r0 by
  https://matrix.org/docs/spec/r0.0.0/client_server.html
  on paths prefixed by ``/_matrix/client/r0``. (PR #430, PR #415, PR #400)
* Updates the client APIs to match r0 of the matrix specification.

  * All APIs return events in the new event format, old APIs also include
    the fields needed to parse the event using the old format for
    compatibility. (PR #402)
  * Search results are now given as a JSON array rather than
    a JSON object (PR #405)
  * Miscellaneous changes to search (PR #403, PR #406, PR #412)
  * Filter JSON objects may now be passed as query parameters to ``/sync``
    (PR #431)
  * Fix implementation of ``/admin/whois`` (PR #418)
  * Only include the rooms that user has left in ``/sync`` if the client
    requests them in the filter (PR #423)
  * Don't push for ``m.room.message`` by default (PR #411)
  * Add API for setting per account user data (PR #392)
  * Allow users to forget rooms (PR #385)

* Performance improvements and monitoring:

  * Add per-request counters for CPU time spent on the main python thread.
    (PR #421, PR #420)
  * Add per-request counters for time spent in the database (PR #429)
  * Make state updates in the C+S API idempotent (PR #416)
  * Only fire ``user_joined_room`` if the user has actually joined. (PR #410)
  * Reuse a single http client, rather than creating new ones (PR #413)

Changes in synapse v0.11.1 (2015-11-20)
=======================================

  could take several hours for servers to start talking to ressurected servers,
  even when they were receiving traffic from them (PR #393)
* Don't advertise login token flow unless CAS is enabled. This caused issues
  where some clients would always use the fallback API if they did not
  recognize all login flows (PR #391)
* Change /v2 sync API to rename ``private_user_data`` to ``account_data``
  (PR #386)
* Change /v2 sync API to remove the ``event_map`` and rename keys in ``rooms``
  object (PR #389)

Changes in synapse v0.10.0 (2015-09-03)

No change from release candidate.

Changes in synapse v0.10.0-rc6 (2015-09-02)

* Remove some of the old database upgrade scripts.
* Fix database port script to work with newly created sqlite databases.

Changes in synapse v0.10.0-rc3 (2015-08-25)
===========================================

* Add ``--keys-directory`` config option to specify where files such as
  certs and signing keys should be stored in, when using ``--generate-config``
  or ``--generate-keys``.
* Allow ``--config-path`` to specify a directory, causing synapse to use all
  \*.yaml files in the directory as config files.

  ``#matrix:matrix.org``)
* Reduce the number of times we wake up pushers by not listening for presence
  or typing events, reducing the CPU cost of each pusher.

Changes in synapse v0.10.0-rc1 (2015-08-20)
===========================================

Also see v0.9.4-rc1 changelog, which has been amalgamated into this release.

General:

* Upgrade to Twisted 15 (PR #173)
* Add support for serving and fetching encryption keys over federation.
  (PR #208)
* Add support for logging in with email address (PR #234)
* Add support for new ``m.room.canonical_alias`` event. (PR #233)
* Change synapse to treat user IDs case insensitively during registration and
  login. (If two users already exist with case insensitive matching user ids,
  synapse will continue to require them to specify their user ids exactly.)
* Error if a user tries to register with an email already in use. (PR #211)
* Add extra and improve existing caches  (PR #212, #219, #226, #228)
* Batch various storage request (PR #226, #228)
* Fix bug where we didn't correctly log the entity that triggered the request
  if the request came in via an application service (PR #230)
* Fix bug where we needlessly regenerated the full list of rooms an AS is
  interested in. (PR #232)
* Add support for AS's to use v2_alpha registration API (PR #210)

Configuration:

* Add ``--generate-keys`` that will generate any missing cert and key files in
  the configuration files. This is equivalent to running ``--generate-config``
  on an existing configuration file. (PR #220)
* ``--generate-config`` now no longer requires a ``--server-name`` parameter
  when used on existing configuration files. (PR #220)
* Add ``--print-pidfile`` flag that controls the printing of the pid to stdout
  of the demonised process. (PR #213)

Media Repository:

* Fix bug where we picked a lower resolution image than requested. (PR #205)
* Add support for specifying if a the media repository should dynamically
  thumbnail images or not. (PR #206)

Metrics:

* Add statistics from the reactor to the metrics API. (PR #224, #225)

Demo Homeservers:

* Fix starting the demo homeservers without rate-limiting enabled. (PR #182)
* Fix enabling registration on demo homeservers (PR #223)

Changes in synapse v0.9.4-rc1 (2015-07-21)
==========================================

General:

* Add basic implementation of receipts. (SPEC-99)
* Add support for configuration presets in room creation API.
* Add auth event that limits the visibility of history for new users.
  (SPEC-134)
* Add SAML2 login/registration support. (Thanks Muthu Subramanian!)
* Add Content-Disposition headers to content repository responses. (SYN-150)
* Add client side key management APIs for end to end encryption.
* Change power level semantics so that you cannot kick, ban or change power
  levels of users that have equal or greater power level than you. (SYN-192)
* Improve performance by bulk inserting events where appropriate.
* Improve performance by bulk verifying signatures where appropriate.

Configuration:

* Add support for including TLS certificate chains.
