Changes in synapse v0.27.3 (2018-04-09)
=======================================
Notable changes include API support for joinability of groups. Also new metrics
and phone home stats. Phone home stats include better visibility of system usage
so we can tweak synpase to work better for all users rather than our own experience
with matrix.org. Also, recording 'r30' stat which is the measure we use to track
overal growth of the Matrix ecosystem. It is defined as:-
Counts the number of native 30 day retained users, defined as:-
* Users who have created their accounts more than 30 days
* Where last seen at most 30 days ago
* Where account creation and last_seen are > 30 days"
Features:
* Add joinability for groups (PR #3045)
* Implement group join API (PR #3046)
* Add counter metrics for calculating state delta (PR #3033)

===========================================
The common case for running Synapse is not to run separate workers, but for those that do, be aware that synctl no longer starts the main synapse when using ``-a`` option with workers. A new worker file should be added with ``worker_app: synapse.app.homeserver``.
This release also begins the process of renaming a number of the metrics
reported to prometheus. See `docs/metrics-howto.rst <docs/metrics-howto.rst#block-and-response-metrics-renamed-for-0-27-0>`_.
Note that the v0.28.0 release will remove the deprecated metric names.

* Don't advertise login token flow unless CAS is enabled. This caused issues
where some clients would always use the fallback API if they did not
recognize all login flows (PR #391)

(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)

interested in. (PR #232)
* Add support for AS's to use v2_alpha registration API (PR #210)
Configuration:

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)

No changes from v0.9.3 Release Candidate 1.
Changes in synapse v0.9.3-rc1 (2015-06-23)
==========================================
General:
* Fix a memory leak in the notifier. (SYN-412)
* Improve performance of room initial sync. (SYN-418)

* Fix bug where synapse failed to send user queries to application services.
Changes in synapse v0.9.2-r2 (2015-06-15)
=========================================
Fix packaging so that schema delta python files get included in the package.
Changes in synapse v0.9.2 (2015-06-12)
======================================
General:
* Use ultrajson for json (de)serialisation when a canonical encoding is not
required. Ultrajson is significantly faster than simplejson in certain
circumstances.
* Use connection pools for outgoing HTTP connections.
* Process thumbnails on separate threads.
Configuration:

Federation:
* Improve resilience of backfill by ensuring we fetch any missing auth events.
* Improve performance of backfill and joining remote rooms by removing
unnecessary computations. This included handling events we'd previously
handled as well as attempting to compute the current state for outliers.
Changes in synapse v0.9.1 (2015-05-26)
======================================
General:
* Add support for backfilling when a client paginates. This allows servers to
request history for a room from remote servers when a client tries to
paginate history the server does not have - SYN-36
* Fix bug where you couldn't disable non-default pushrules - SYN-378
* Fix ``register_new_user`` script - SYN-359
* Improve performance of fetching events from the database, this improves both
initialSync and sending of events.

simultaneous connected clients.
Federation:
* Fix bug with existing backfill implementation where it returned the wrong
selection of events in some circumstances.
* Improve performance of joining remote rooms.
Configuration:
* Add support for changing the bind host of the metrics listener via the
``metrics_bind_host`` option.
Changes in synapse v0.9.0-r5 (2015-05-21)
=========================================
* Add more database caches to reduce amount of work done for each pusher. This
radically reduces CPU usage when multiple pushers are set up in the same room.
Changes in synapse v0.9.0 (2015-05-07)
======================================
General:
* Add support for using a PostgreSQL database instead of SQLite. See
`docs/postgres.rst`_ for details.
* Add password change and reset APIs. See `Registration`_ in the spec.
* Fix memory leak due to not releasing stale notifiers - SYN-339.
* Fix race in caches that occasionally caused some presence updates to be
dropped - SYN-369.
* Check server name has not changed on restart.
* Add a sample systemd unit file and a logger configuration in
contrib/systemd. Contributed Ivan Shapovalov.
Federation:
* Add key distribution mechanisms for fetching public keys of unavailable
remote home servers. See `Retrieving Server Keys`_ in the spec.
Configuration:
* Add support for multiple config files.
* Add support for dictionaries in config files.
* Remove support for specifying config options on the command line, except
for:
* ``--daemonize`` - Daemonize the home server.
* ``--manhole`` - Turn on the twisted telnet manhole service on the given
port.
* ``--database-path`` - The path to a sqlite database to use.
* ``--verbose`` - The verbosity level.
* ``--log-file`` - File to log to.
* ``--log-config`` - Python logging config file.
* ``--enable-registration`` - Enable registration for new users.
Application services:
* Reliably retry sending of events from Synapse to application services, as per
`Application Services`_ spec.
* Application services can no longer register via the ``/register`` API,
instead their configuration should be saved to a file and listed in the
synapse ``app_service_config_files`` config option. The AS configuration file
has the same format as the old ``/register`` request.

Changes in synapse v0.8.1 (2015-03-18)
======================================
* Disable registration by default. New users can be added using the command
``register_new_matrix_user`` or by enabling registration in the config.
* Add metrics to synapse. To enable metrics use config options
``enable_metrics`` and ``metrics_port``.
* Fix bug where banning only kicked the user.
Changes in synapse v0.8.0 (2015-03-06)
======================================
General:
* Add support for registration fallback. 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.
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.
Changes in synapse 0.5.4a (2014-12-13)
======================================
* Fix bug while generating the error message when a file path specified in
the config doesn't exist.
Changes in synapse 0.5.4 (2014-12-03)

remote users.
* Do not log SQL timing log lines when started with "-v"
* Fix potential memory leak.
Changes in synapse 0.5.3c (2014-12-02)
======================================
* Change the default value for the `content_addr` option to use the HTTP
listener, as by default the HTTPS listener will be using a self-signed
certificate.
Changes in synapse 0.5.3 (2014-11-27)
=====================================
* Fix bug that caused joining a remote room to fail if a single event was not
signed correctly.
* Fix bug which caused servers to continuously try and fetch events from other
servers.
Changes in synapse 0.5.2 (2014-11-26)
=====================================
Fix major bug that caused rooms to disappear from peoples initial sync.
Changes in synapse 0.5.1 (2014-11-26)
=====================================
See UPGRADES.rst for specific instructions on how to upgrade.
* Fix bug where we served up an Event that did not match its signatures.

Changes in synapse 0.5.0 (2014-11-19)
=====================================
This release includes changes to the federation protocol and client-server API
that is not backwards compatible.
This release also changes the internal database schemas and so requires servers to
drop their current history. See UPGRADES.rst for details.
