    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)
    
  • v0.10.0-rc2
    Changes in synapse v0.10.0-rc2 (2015-08-24)
    ===========================================
    
    * Fix bug where we incorrectly populated the ``event_forward_extremities``
      table, resulting in problems joining large remote rooms (e.g.
      ``#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.
    
  • v0.10.0-rc3
    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.
    * Add ``web_client_location`` config option to specify static files to be
      hosted by synapse under ``/_matrix/client``.
    * Add helper utility to synapse to read and parse the config files and extract
      the value of a given key. For example::
    
        $ python -m synapse.config read server_name -c homeserver.yaml
        localhost
    
  • v0.10.0-rc4

    Changes in synapse v0.10.0-rc5 (2015-08-27)
    ===========================================

    =======================================
    
    * Add extra options to search API (PR #394)

      could take several hours for servers to start talking to ressurected servers,
      even when they were receiving traffic from them (PR #393)

      (PR #386)

    * Allow guest accounts access to ``/sync`` (PR #455)
    * Allow filters to include/exclude rooms at the room level
      rather than just from the components of the sync for each
      room. (PR #454)

      retries a request to ``/initialSync`` before the a response was computed
      to the first request then the same response is used for both requests
      (PR #457)

      remote servers even when the key was cached locally (PR #452)

    * 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)

      * Add per-request counters for time spent in the database (PR #429)
      * Make state updates in the C+S API idempotent (PR #416)

  • v0.13.0
    Changes in synapse v0.13.0 (2016-02-10)
    =======================================
    
    This version includes an upgrade of the schema, specifically adding an index to
    the ``events`` table. This may cause synapse to pause for several minutes the
    first time it is started after the upgrade.
    
    Changes:
    
    * Improve general performance (PR #540, #543. #544, #54, #549, #567)
    * Change guest user ids to be incrementing integers (PR #550)

    * Change profile API to omit keys rather than return null (PR #557)
    * Add ``/media/r0`` endpoint prefix, which is equivalent to ``/media/v1/``
      (PR #595)
    
    Bug fixes:
    
    * Fix bug with upgrading guest accounts where it would fail if you opened the
      registration email on a different device (PR #547)
    * Fix bug where unread count could be wrong (PR #568)

    =======================================
    
    This version includes an upgrade of the schema, specifically adding an index to
    the ``events`` table. This may cause synapse to pause for several minutes the
    first time it is started after the upgrade.
    
    Changes:
    
    * Improve general performance (PR #540, #543. #544, #54, #549, #567)
    * Change guest user ids to be incrementing integers (PR #550)
    * Improve performance of public room list API (PR #552)
    * Change profile API to omit keys rather than return null (PR #557)
    * Add ``/media/r0`` endpoint prefix, which is equivalent to ``/media/v1/``
      (PR #595)
    
    Bug fixes:
    
    * Fix bug with upgrading guest accounts where it would fail if you opened the
      registration email on a different device (PR #547)
    * Fix bug where unread count could be wrong (PR #568)
