Changes in synapse v0.12.0 (2016-01-04)
=======================================

* Expose ``/login`` under ``r0`` (PR #459)

Changes in synapse v0.12.0-rc3 (2015-12-23)
===========================================

* 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)

* Send more information to the identity server for third-party invites so that
  it can send richer messages to the invitee (PR #446)

  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)

  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)

    a JSON object (PR #405)

    (PR #431)

  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)

  or ``--generate-keys``.
* Allow ``--config-path`` to specify a directory, causing synapse to use all

  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)
