Changes in synapse v0.27.3-rc2 (2018-04-09)
==========================================

v0.27.3-rc1 used a stale version of the develop branch so the changelog overstates
the functionality. v0.27.3-rc2 is up to date, rc1 should be ignored.

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
         * 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)
* R30 stats (PR #3041)
* Measure time it takes to calculate state group ID (PR #3043)
* Add basic performance statistics to phone home (PR #3044)
* Add response size metrics (PR #3071)
* phone home cache size configurations (PR #3063)

Changes:

* Add a blurb explaining the main synapse worker (PR #2886) Thanks to @turt2live!
* Replace old style error catching with 'as' keyword (PR #3000) Thanks to @NotAFile!

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.

Features:

* Add ability for ASes to override message send time (PR #2754)
* Add support for custom storage providers for media repository (PR #2867, #2777, #2783, #2789, #2791, #2804, #2812, #2814, #2857, #2868, #2767)

* Add support for whitelisting 3PIDs that users can register. (PR #2813)
* Add ``/room/{id}/event/{id}`` API (PR #2766)
* Add an admin API to get all the media in a room (PR #2818) Thanks to @turt2live!
* Add ``federation_domain_whitelist`` option (PR #2820, #2821)
