Synapse 0.4.2 released!

Hi all,

There’s been loads of work going on in various branches on Synapse (federation_authorization and event_signing) as we land the final features needed for Synapse to be used in production as a Matrix reference server.  Meanwhile the iOS demo client and SDK has been coming on leaps and bounds too over at https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-ios-sdk.

However, stuff has also been happening on the main Synapse development branch too, and we’ve just released 0.4.2 onto master for lots of various goodies – see release notes below.

Please upgrade your homeservers and play with the new client – the new JSON viewing/editing features are particularly useful and interesting for powerusers and developers!
