Synapse 0.99.0 (2019-02-05)
===========================

Synapse v0.99.x is a precursor to the upcoming Synapse v1.0 release. It contains foundational changes to room architecture and the federation security model necessary to support the upcoming r0 release of the Server to Server API.

Features
--------

- Synapse's cipher string has been updated to require ECDH key exchange. Configuring and generating dh_params is no longer required, and they will be ignored. ([\#4229](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4229))

Changes in synapse v0.30.0 (2018-05-24)
=======================================

\'Server Notices\' are a new feature introduced in Synapse 0.30. They provide a channel whereby server administrators can send messages to users on the server.

They are used as part of communication of the server policies (see `docs/consent_tracking.md`), however the intention is that they may also find a use for features such as \"Message of the day\".

This feature is specific to Synapse, but uses standard Matrix communication mechanisms, so should work with any Matrix client. For more details see `docs/server_notices.md`

Further Server Notices/Consent Tracking Support:

-   Allow overriding the server\_notices user\'s avatar (PR #3273)
-   Use the localpart in the consent uri (PR #3272)
-   Support for putting %(consent\_uri)s in messages (PR #3271)
-   Block attempts to send server notices to remote users (PR #3270)
-   Docs on consent bits (PR #3268)

Changes in synapse v0.30.0-rc1 (2018-05-23)
===========================================

Server Notices/Consent Tracking Support:

-   ConsentResource to gather policy consent from users (PR #3213)
-   Move RoomCreationHandler out of synapse.handlers.Handlers (PR #3225)
-   Infrastructure for a server notices room (PR #3232)
-   Send users a server notice about consent (PR #3236)
-   Reject attempts to send event before privacy consent is given (PR #3257)
-   Add a \'has\_consented\' template var to consent forms (PR #3262)
-   Fix dependency on jinja2 (PR #3263)
