* 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)
