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.

Features:

* Add a Dockerfile for synapse (PR #2846) Thanks to @kaiyou!
