Changes in synapse v0.30.0 (2018-05-24)
=======================================
\'Server Notices\' are a new feature introduced in Synapse 0.30. They provide a channel whereby server administrators can send messages to users on the server.
They are used as part of communication of the server policies (see `docs/consent_tracking.md`), however the intention is that they may also find a use for features such as \"Message of the day\".
This feature is specific to Synapse, but uses standard Matrix communication mechanisms, so should work with any Matrix client. For more details see `docs/server_notices.md`
Further Server Notices/Consent Tracking Support:
- Allow overriding the server\_notices user\'s avatar (PR #3273)
- Use the localpart in the consent uri (PR #3272)
- Support for putting %(consent\_uri)s in messages (PR #3271)
- Block attempts to send server notices to remote users (PR #3270)
- Docs on consent bits (PR #3268)

=======================================
Changes:
- Update docker documentation (PR #3222)
Changes in synapse v0.29.0 (2018-05-16)
=======================================
Not changes since v0.29.0-rc1
Changes in synapse v0.29.0-rc1 (2018-05-14)
===========================================
Notable changes, a docker file for running Synapse (Thanks to @kaiyou!) and a closed spec bug in the Client Server API. Additionally further prep for Python 3 migration.
Potentially breaking change:
- Make Client-Server API return 401 for invalid token (PR #3161).
This changes the Client-server spec to return a 401 error code instead of 403 when the access token is unrecognised. This is the behaviour required by the specification, but some clients may be relying on the old, incorrect behaviour.
Thanks to @NotAFile for fixing this.

Changes in synapse v0.28.1 (2018-05-01)
=======================================
SECURITY UPDATE
- Clamp the allowed values of event depth received over federation to be \[0, 2\^63 - 1\]. This mitigates an attack where malicious events injected with depth = 2\^63 - 1 render rooms unusable. Depth is used to determine the cosmetic ordering of events within a room, and so the ordering of events in such a room will default to using stream\_ordering rather than depth (topological\_ordering).
This is a temporary solution to mitigate abuse in the wild, whilst a long term solution is being implemented to improve how the depth parameter is used.
Full details at <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I3fi2S-XnpO45qrpCsowZv8P8dHcNZ4fsBsbOW7KABI>
- Pin Twisted to \<18.4 until we stop using the private \_OpenSSLECCurve API.

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

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.

- Fix memory leak due to not releasing stale notifiers - SYN-339.
- Fix race in caches that occasionally caused some presence updates to be dropped - SYN-369.
- Check server name has not changed on restart.
- Add a sample systemd unit file and a logger configuration in contrib/systemd. Contributed Ivan Shapovalov.
Federation:
- Add key distribution mechanisms for fetching public keys of unavailable remote home servers. See [Retrieving Server Keys](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/6f2698/specification/30_server_server_api.rst#retrieving-server-keys) in the spec.
Configuration:
- Add support for multiple config files.
- Add support for dictionaries in config files.

- Application services can no longer register via the `/register` API, instead their configuration should be saved to a file and listed in the synapse `app_service_config_files` config option. The AS configuration file has the same format as the old `/register` request. See [docs/application\_services.rst](docs/application_services.rst) for more information.
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)
