v0.9.2

Changes in synapse v0.9.2 (2015-06-12)

General:

• Use ultrajson for json (de)serialisation when a canonical encoding is not
  required. Ultrajson is significantly faster than simplejson in certain
  circumstances.
• Use connection pools for outgoing HTTP connections.
• Process thumbnails on separate threads.

Configuration:

• Add option, gzip_responses, to disable HTTP response compression.

Federation:

• Improve resilience of backfill by ensuring we fetch any missing auth events.
• Improve performance of backfill and joining remote rooms by removing
  unnecessary computations. This included handling events we'd previously
  handled as well as attempting to compute the current state for outliers.

v0.9.1

Changes in synapse v0.9.1 (2015-05-26)

General:

• Add support for backfilling when a client paginates. This allows servers to
  request history for a room from remote servers when a client tries to
  paginate history the server does not have - SYN-36
• Fix bug where you couldn't disable non-default pushrules - SYN-378
• Fix register_new_user script - SYN-359
• Improve performance of fetching events from the database, this improves both
  initialSync and sending of events.
• Improve performance of event streams, allowing synapse to handle more
  simultaneous connected clients.

Federation:

• Fix bug with existing backfill implementation where it returned the wrong
  selection of events in some circumstances.
• Improve performance of joining remote rooms.

Configuration:

• Add support for changing the bind host of the metrics listener via the
  metrics_bind_host option.

General:

• Add support for using a PostgreSQL database instead of SQLite. See
  docs/postgres.rst for details.
• Add password change and reset APIs. See Registration in the spec.
• 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.

Federation:

• Add key distribution mechanisms for fetching public keys of unavailable
  remote home servers. See Retrieving Server Keys in the spec.

Configuration:

• Add support for multiple config files.
• Add support for dictionaries in config files.
• Remove support for specifying config options on the command line, except
  for:
  • --daemonize - Daemonize the home server.
  • --manhole - Turn on the twisted telnet manhole service on the given
    port.
  • --database-path - The path to a sqlite database to use.
  • --verbose - The verbosity level.
  • --log-file - File to log to.
  • --log-config - Python logging config file.
  • --enable-registration - Enable registration for new users.

Application services:

• Reliably retry sending of events from Synapse to application services, as per
  Application Services spec.
• 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 for more information.
