This is a page hosted on the server + which allows a user to register for an account, regardless of what client + they are using (e.g. mobile devices). + +* Added new default push rules and made them configurable by clients: + + * Suppress all notice messages. + * Notify when invited to a new room. + * Notify for messages that don't match any rule. + * Notify on incoming call. + +Federation: + +* Added per host server side rate-limiting of incoming federation requests. +* Added a ``/get_missing_events/`` API to federation to reduce number of + ``/events/`` requests. + +Configuration: + +* Added configuration option to disable registration: + ``disable_registration``. +* Added configuration option to change soft limit of number of open file + descriptors: ``soft_file_limit``. +* Make ``tls_private_key_path`` optional when running with ``no_tls``. + +Application services: + +* Application services can now poll on the CS API ``/events`` for their events, + by providing their application service ``access_token``. +* Added exclusive namespace support to application services API. + + +Changes in synapse v0.7.1 (2015-02-19) +====================================== + +* Initial alpha implementation of parts of the Application Services API. + Including: + + - AS Registration / Unregistration + - User Query API + - Room Alias Query API + - Push transport for receiving events. + - User/Alias namespace admin control + +* Add cache when fetching events from remote servers to stop repeatedly + fetching events with bad signatures. +* Respect the per remote server retry scheme when fetching both events and + server keys to reduce the number of times we send requests to dead servers. +* Inform remote servers when the local server fails to handle a received event. +* Turn off python bytecode generation due to problems experienced when + upgrading from previous versions. + +Changes in synapse v0.7.0 (2015-02-12) +====================================== + +* Add initial implementation of the query auth federation API, allowing + servers to agree on whether an event should be allowed or rejected. +* Persist events we have rejected from federation, fixing the bug where + servers would keep requesting the same events. +* Various federation performance improvements, including: + + - Add in memory caches on queries such as: + + * Computing the state of a room at a point in time, used for + authorization on federation requests. + * Fetching events from the database. + * User's room membership, used for authorizing presence updates. + + - Upgraded JSON library to improve parsing and serialisation speeds. + +* Add default avatars to new user accounts using pydenticon library. +* Correctly time out federation requests. +* Retry federation requests against different servers. +* Add support for push and push rules. +* Add alpha versions of proposed new CSv2 APIs, including ``/sync`` API. + Changes in synapse 0.6.1 (2015-01-07) ===================================== - * Major optimizations to improve performance of initial sync and event sending - in large rooms (by up to 10x) - * Media repository now includes a Content-Length header on media downloads. - * Improve quality of thumbnails by changing resizing algorithm. +* Major optimizations to improve performance of initial sync and event sending + in large rooms (by up to 10x) +* Media repository now includes a Content-Length header on media downloads. +* Improve quality of thumbnails by changing resizing algorithm. Changes in synapse 0.6.0 (2014-12-16) ===================================== - * Add new API for media upload and download that supports thumbnailing. - * Replicate media uploads over multiple homeservers so media is always served - to clients from their local homeserver. This obsoletes the - --content-addr parameter and confusion over accessing content directly - from remote homeservers. - * Implement exponential backoff when retrying federation requests when - sending to remote homeservers which are offline. - * Implement typing notifications. - * Fix bugs where we sent events with invalid signatures due to bugs where - we incorrectly persisted events. - * Improve performance of database queries involving retrieving events. +* Add new API for media upload and download that supports thumbnailing. +* Replicate media uploads over multiple homeservers so media is always served + to clients from their local homeserver.
