+Synapse 0.99.0rc1 (2019-01-30)
+==============================
+
+Synapse v0.99.x is a precursor to the upcoming Synapse v1.0 release. It contains foundational changes to room architecture and the federation security model necessary to support the upcoming r0 release of the Server to Server API.
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- Synapse's cipher string has been updated to require ECDH key exchange. Configuring and generating dh_params is no longer required, and they will be ignored. ([\#4229](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4229))
+- Synapse can now automatically provision TLS certificates via ACME (the protocol used by CAs like Let's Encrypt). ([\#4384](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4384), [\#4492](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4492), [\#4525](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4525))
+- Implement MSC1708 (.well-known routing for server-server federation) ([\#4408](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4408), [\#4409](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4409), [\#4426](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4426), [\#4427](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4427), [\#4428](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4428), [\#4464](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4464), [\#4468](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4468), [\#4487](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4487), [\#4488](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4488), [\#4489](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4489), [\#4497](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4497), [\#4511](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4511), [\#4516](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4516), [\#4520](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4520), [\#4521](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4521))
+- Search now includes results from predecessor rooms after a room upgrade. ([\#4415](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4415))
+- Config option to disable requesting MSISDN on registration. ([\#4423](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4423))
+- Add a metric for tracking event stream position of the user directory. ([\#4445](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4445))
+- Support exposing server capabilities in CS API (MSC1753, MSC1804) ([\#4472](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4472))
+- Add support for room version 3 ([\#4483](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4483), [\#4499](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4499), [\#4515](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4515), [\#4523](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4523))
+- Synapse will now reload TLS certificates from disk upon SIGHUP. ([\#4495](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4495), [\#4524](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4524))
+
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Prevent users with access tokens predating the introduction of device IDs from creating spurious entries in the user_ips table. ([\#4369](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4369))

+Upgrading to v0.99.0
+====================
+
+In preparation for Synapse v1.0, you must update your TLS certificates from
+self-signed ones to verifiable ones signed by a trusted root CA.
+
+If you do not already have a certificate for your domain, the easiest way to get
+one is with Synapse's new ACME support, which will use the ACME protocol to
+provision a certificate automatically. By default, certificates will be obtained
+from the publicly trusted CA Let's Encrypt.
+
+For a sample configuration, please inspect the new ACME section in the example
+generated config by running the ``generate-config`` executable. For example::
+
+  ~/synapse/env3/bin/generate-config
+
+You will need to provide Let's Encrypt (or other ACME provider) access to your
+Synapse ACME challenge responder on port 80, at the domain of your homeserver.
+This requires you either change the port of the ACME listener provided by
+Synapse to a high port and reverse proxy to it, or use a tool like authbind to
+allow Synapse to listen on port 80 without root access. (Do not run Synapse with
+root permissions!)
+
+You will need to back up or delete your self signed TLS certificate
+(``example.com.tls.crt`` and ``example.com.tls.key``), Synapse's ACME
+implementation will not overwrite them.
+
+You may wish to use alternate methods such as Certbot to obtain a certificate
+from Let's Encrypt, depending on your server configuration. Of course, if you
+already have a valid certificate for your homeserver's domain, that can be
+placed in Synapse's config directory without the need for ACME.
+
