CHANGES.rst

+Changes in synapse v0.27.3 (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"
