Today, we are releasing Synapse version 0.11.0. In the last week, we have had two release candidates, and this release also includes changes in v0.10.1-rc1 from October.

New features include a new Search API and better options for logging in (CAS and login fallback support) - thanks to Steven for contributing CAS support. We also introduce room tagging and as usual, there are plenty of improvements and fixes. For the full info, see the changelog below.
