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)) - Synapse can now automatically provision TLS certificates via ACME (the protocol used by CAs like Let's Encrypt).
