The first was to ensure that changes are checked by +multiple authors before being committed (everyone makes mistakes!) and the second +was visibility of the documentation. Not everyone knows that Synapse has some very +useful information hidden away in its GitHub wiki pages. Bringing them to the +documentation website should help with visibility, as well as keep all Synapse documentation +in one, easily-searchable location. + +Note that contributions to the documentation website happen through [GitHub pull +requests](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pulls). Please visit [#synapse-dev:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#synapse-dev:matrix.org) +if you need help with the process! + + +Features +-------- + +- Add [MSC3030](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3030) experimental client and federation API endpoints to get the closest event to a given timestamp.
