Hi all,

We just pushed our first major update since matrix.org launched for Synapse, the reference Matrix homeserver:

Changes in synapse 0.2.2 (2014-09-06)

Webclient:

• Fix desktop notifications
• Add support for captchas on registration
• Handle m.room.aliases events.
• Implement local echo when sending message
• Inform the UI when a message failed to send.
• Only autoscroll on receiving a new message if the user was already at the bottom of the screen.
• Add support for ban/kick reasons.
• Add /join support for IRC acolytes
• Make IRC-style commands a little more forgiving

Homeserver:

• Validate m.room.power_level events.
• When the server returns state events it now also includes the previous content if any to aid pagination
• Add support for inviting people when creating a new room.
• Make the homeserver inform the room via m.room.aliases when a new alias is added for a room.

The matrix.org homeserver & webclient has already been updated to the latest version - if you're running your own homeserver, please update. v0.2.2 retains backwards compatibility with previous homeserver releases.
