v0.12.0-rc3

Changes in synapse v0.12.0-rc3 (2015-12-23)

• Allow guest accounts access to /sync (PR #455)
• Allow filters to include/exclude rooms at the room level
  rather than just from the components of the sync for each
  room. (PR #454)
• Include urls for room avatars in the response to /publicRooms (PR #453)
• Don't set a identicon as the avatar for a user when they register (PR #450)

• Send more information to the identity server for third-party invites so that
  it can send richer messages to the invitee (PR #446)

  retries a request to /initialSync before the a response was computed
  to the first request then the same response is used for both requests
  (PR #457)

  remote servers even when the key was cached locally (PR #452)
• Fix 500 when pagination search results (PR #447)
• Fix a bug where synapse was leaking raw email address in third-party invites
  (PR #448)

  https://matrix.org/docs/spec/r0.0.0/client_server.html
  on paths prefixed by /_matrix/client/r0. (PR #430, PR #415, PR #400)
• Updates the client APIs to match r0 of the matrix specification.
  • All APIs return events in the new event format, old APIs also include
    the fields needed to parse the event using the old format for
    compatibility. (PR #402)
  • Search results are now given as a JSON array rather than
    a JSON object (PR #405)

v0.11.1

Changes in synapse v0.11.1 (2015-11-20)

• Add extra options to search API (PR #394)

  could take several hours for servers to start talking to ressurected servers,
  even when they were receiving traffic from them (PR #393)
• Don't advertise login token flow unless CAS is enabled. This caused issues
  where some clients would always use the fallback API if they did not
  recognize all login flows (PR #391)

  (PR #386)
• Change /v2 sync API to remove the event_map and rename keys in rooms
