r0.3.0
======
- Breaking changes:
- Change the rule kind of ``.m.rule.contains_display_name`` from
``underride`` to ``override``. This works with all known clients
which support push rules, but any other clients implementing
the push rules API should be aware of this change. This
makes it simple to mute rooms correctly in the API
(`#373 <https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/373>`_).
- Remove ``/tokenrefresh`` from the API
(`#395 <https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/395>`_).
- Remove requirement that tokens used in token-based login be macaroons
(`#395 <https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/395>`_).
- Move ``thumbnail_url`` and ``thumbnail_info`` members of json objects
for ``m.room.message`` events with msgtypes ``m.image``, ``m.file``
and ``m.location``, inside the ``info`` member, to match ``m.video``
events
(`#723 <https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/723>`_).
- Changes to the API which will be backwards-compatible for clients:
- Add ``filename`` parameter to ``POST /_matrix/media/r0/upload``
(`#364 <https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/364>`_).

r0.1.0
======
This release includes the following changes since r0.0.1:
- Breaking changes to the API [#]_:
- ``POST /rooms/{roomId}/join`` no longer permits use of a room alias instead
of a room id. (``POST /join/{roomIdOrAlias}`` continues to allow either.)
- ``POST /account/3pid``: correct the name of the ``three_pid_creds``
parameter
- The "Push Rules" module no longer supports device-specific rules:
- ``GET /pushrules`` no longer returns a ``device`` property
- ``device/{profile_tag}`` is no longer a valid ``scope`` for push rules
- ``profile_tag`` is no longer a valid kind of condition on push rules.
(Device-specific push rules will be reintroduced in the future; in the
meantime, their specification has been moved to a `draft branch`__.)
__ https://matrix.org/speculator/spec/drafts%2Freinstate_device_push_rules/
- Changes to the API which will be backwards-compatible for clients:
- New endpoints:
- ``POST /logout``
- ``POST /rooms/{roomId}/unban``
- ``POST /rooms/{roomId}/kick``
- ``GET /pushers``
- ``GET /pushrules/{scope}/{kind}/{ruleId}/enabled``
(previously ``PUT``-only)
- ``GET`` and ``PUT /pushrules/{scope}/{kind}/{ruleId}/actions``
- Add ``third_party_signed`` parameter to ``POST /rooms/{roomId}/join``
- Add ``M_INVALID_USERNAME`` as valid response to ``POST /register``
- Add ``unread_notifications`` field to ``GET /sync`` response
- Add optional ``invite`` property to ``m.room.power_levels`` state event
- Add optional ``public_key`` and ``public_keys`` to
``m.room.third_party_invite`` state event
- Password-based ``/login`` may now use a third-party identifier instead of
a matrix user id.
- Spec clarifications
- Make the state diagram for room membership explicit
- Note that a user may not be invited to a room while banned
- Clarify the expected order of events in the response to
``GET /rooms/{roomId}/context/{eventId}``, as well as correcting the
example for that API
- Clarify the behaviour of the "Room History Visibility" module; in
particular, the behaviour of the ``shared`` history visibilty, and how
events at visibility boundaries should be handled
- Separate the "Room Previews" module from "Guest access"
- Reword the description of the ``profile_tag`` property in
``PUT /pushers/set``, and note that it is not mandatory.
.. [#] Our `versioning policy <../index.html#specification-versions>`_ would
strictly require that a breaking change be denoted by a new major
specification version. However we are not aware of any clients which
rely on the old behaviour here, nor server implementations which offer
it, so we have chosen to retain the r0 designation on this occasion.

- Content repository
- Instant messaging
- Push notification
- History visibility
- Search
- Invites based on third party identifiers
- Room tagging
- Guest access
- Client config
- The following APIs were added:
- ``/sync``
