Changes in synapse v0.10.0-rc1 (2015-08-20)
===========================================

Also see v0.9.4-rc1 changelog, which has been amalgamated into this release.

General:

* Upgrade to Twisted 15 (PR #173)
* Add support for serving and fetching encryption keys over federation.
  (PR #208)
* Add support for logging in with email address (PR #234)
* Add support for new ``m.room.canonical_alias`` event. (PR #233)
* Change synapse to treat user IDs case insensitively during registration and
  login. (If two users already exist with case insensitive matching user ids,
  synapse will continue to require them to specify their user ids exactly.)
* Error if a user tries to register with an email already in use. (PR #211)
* Add extra and improve existing caches  (PR #212, #219, #226, #228)
* Batch various storage request (PR #226, #228)
* Fix bug where we didn't correctly log the entity that triggered the request
  if the request came in via an application service (PR #230)
* Fix bug where we needlessly regenerated the full list of rooms an AS is
  interested in. (PR #232)
* Add support for AS's to use v2_alpha registration API (PR #210)

Configuration:

* Add ``--generate-keys`` that will generate any missing cert and key files in
  the configuration files. This is equivalent to running ``--generate-config``
  on an existing configuration file. (PR #220)
* ``--generate-config`` now no longer requires a ``--server-name`` parameter
  when used on existing configuration files. (PR #220)
* Add ``--print-pidfile`` flag that controls the printing of the pid to stdout
  of the demonised process. (PR #213)

Media Repository:

* Fix bug where we picked a lower resolution image than requested. (PR #205)
* Add support for specifying if a the media repository should dynamically
  thumbnail images or not. (PR #206)

Metrics:

* Add statistics from the reactor to the metrics API. (PR #224, #225)

Demo Homeservers:

* Fix starting the demo homeservers without rate-limiting enabled. (PR #182)
* Fix enabling registration on demo homeservers (PR #223)

Changes in synapse v0.9.4-rc1 (2015-07-21)
==========================================

General:

* Add basic implementation of receipts. (SPEC-99)
* Add support for configuration presets in room creation API.
* Add auth event that limits the visibility of history for new users.
  (SPEC-134)
* Add SAML2 login/registration support. (Thanks Muthu Subramanian!)
* Add Content-Disposition headers to content repository responses. (SYN-150)
* Add client side key management APIs for end to end encryption.
* Change power level semantics so that you cannot kick, ban or change power
  levels of users that have equal or greater power level than you. (SYN-192)
* Improve performance by bulk inserting events where appropriate.
* Improve performance by bulk verifying signatures where appropriate.

Configuration:

* Add support for including TLS certificate chains.

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.
  * Notify on incoming call.

Federation:

* Added per host server side rate-limiting of incoming federation requests.
* Added a ``/get_missing_events/`` API to federation to reduce number of
  ``/events/`` requests.

Configuration:

* Added configuration option to disable registration:
  ``disable_registration``.
* Added configuration option to change soft limit of number of open file
  descriptors: ``soft_file_limit``.
* Make ``tls_private_key_path`` optional when running with ``no_tls``.

Application services:

* Application services can now poll on the CS API ``/events`` for their events,
  by providing their application service ``access_token``.
* Added exclusive namespace support to application services API.
