Synapse 1.29.0 (2021-03-08) =========================== Note that synapse now expects an `X-Forwarded-Proto` header when used with a reverse proxy. Please see [UPGRADE.rst](UPGRADE.rst#upgrading-to-v1290) for more details on this change. No significant changes. Synapse 1.29.0rc1 (2021-03-04) ============================== Features -------- - Add rate limiters to cross-user key sharing requests. ([\#8957](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8957)) - Add `order_by` to the admin API `GET /_synapse/admin/v1/users/<user_id>/media`. Contributed by @dklimpel. ([\#8978](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8978)) - Add some configuration settings to make users' profile data more private. ([\#9203](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9203)) - The `no_proxy` and `NO_PROXY` environment variables are now respected in proxied HTTP clients with the lowercase form taking precedence if both are present. Additionally, the lowercase `https_proxy` environment variable is now respected in proxied HTTP clients on top of existing support for the uppercase `HTTPS_PROXY` form and takes precedence if both are present. Contributed by Timothy Leung. ([\#9372](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9372)) - Add a configuration option, `user_directory.prefer_local_users`, which when enabled will make it more likely for users on the same server as you to appear above other users.
