- Process thumbnails on separate threads.
Configuration:
- Add option, `gzip_responses`, to disable HTTP response compression.
Federation:
- Improve resilience of backfill by ensuring we fetch any missing auth events.

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

======================================
General:
- Add support for using a PostgreSQL database instead of SQLite. See [docs/postgres.rst](docs/postgres.rst) for details.

- 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](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/6f2698/specification/30_server_server_api.rst#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.

- Reliably retry sending of events from Synapse to application services, as per [Application Services](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/0c6bd9/specification/25_application_service_api.rst#home-server---application-service-api) 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. See [docs/application\_services.rst](docs/application_services.rst) for more information.
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.

- 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.

- 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.

=====================================
See UPGRADES.rst for specific instructions on how to upgrade.
