Changes in synapse v0.29.0-rc1 (2018-05-14)
===========================================
Notable changes, a docker file for running Synapse (Thanks to @kaiyou!) and a closed spec bug in the Client Server API. Additionally further prep for Python 3 migration.
- Make Client-Server API return 401 for invalid token (PR #3161).
This changes the Client-server spec to return a 401 error code instead of 403 when the access token is unrecognised. This is the behaviour required by the specification, but some clients may be relying on the old, incorrect behaviour.

Changes in synapse v0.28.1 (2018-05-01)
=======================================
SECURITY UPDATE
- Clamp the allowed values of event depth received over federation to be \[0, 2\^63 - 1\]. This mitigates an attack where malicious events injected with depth = 2\^63 - 1 render rooms unusable. Depth is used to determine the cosmetic ordering of events within a room, and so the ordering of events in such a room will default to using stream\_ordering rather than depth (topological\_ordering).
This is a temporary solution to mitigate abuse in the wild, whilst a long term solution is being implemented to improve how the depth parameter is used.
Full details at <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I3fi2S-XnpO45qrpCsowZv8P8dHcNZ4fsBsbOW7KABI>
- Pin Twisted to \<18.4 until we stop using the private \_OpenSSLECCurve API.

Changes in synapse v0.27.3-rc1 (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

Changes in synapse v0.27.0-rc1 (2018-03-14)
===========================================
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.
