Changes in synapse v0.12.0-rc1 (2015-12-10)

===========================================

* Host the client APIs released as r0 by
  https://matrix.org/docs/spec/r0.0.0/client_server.html
  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)
  * Search results are now given as a JSON array rather than
    a JSON object (PR #405)

  * Filter JSON objects may now be passed as query parameters to ``/sync``
    (PR #431)
  * Fix implementation of ``/admin/whois`` (PR #418)
  * Only include the rooms that user has left in ``/sync`` if the client
    requests them in the filter (PR #423)

  * Add per-request counters for CPU time spent on the main python thread.
    (PR #421, PR #420)
  * Add per-request counters for time spent in the database (PR #429)
  * Make state updates in the C+S API idempotent (PR #416)
