## REST auth support via matrix-synapse-rest-auth
The playbook can now install and configure [matrix-synapse-rest-auth ](https://github.com/kamax-io/matrix-synapse-rest-auth ) for you.

## Compression improvements
Shifted Matrix Synapse compression from happening in the Matrix Synapse,
to happening in the nginx proxy that's in front of it.
Additionally, `riot-web` also gets compressed now (in the nginx proxy),
which drops the initial page load's size from 5.31MB to 1.86MB.

## Disabling some unnecessary Synapse services
The following services are not necessary, so they have been disabled:
- on the federation port (8448): the `client` service
2018-08-17 09:22:05 +00:00
- on the http port (8008, exposed over 443): the old Angular `webclient` and the `federation` service
2018-08-17 04:27:02 +00:00
Federation runs only on the federation port (8448) now.
2018-08-17 09:22:05 +00:00
The Client APIs run only on the http port (8008) now.

## mxisd Identity Server support
The playbook now sets up an [mxisd ](https://github.com/kamax-io/mxisd ) Identity Server for you by default.

## Email-sending support
The playbook now configures an email-sending service (postfix) by default.
Additional details are available in [Adjusting email-sending settings ](docs/configuring-playbook-email.md ).
With this, Matrix Synapse is able to send email notifications for missed messages, etc.

## (BC Break) Renaming playbook variables
The following playbook variables were renamed:
- from `matrix_max_upload_size_mb` to `matrix_synapse_max_upload_size_mb`
- from `matrix_max_log_file_size_mb` to `matrix_synapse_max_log_file_size_mb`
- from `matrix_max_log_files_count` to `matrix_synapse_max_log_files_count`
- from `docker_matrix_image` to `matrix_docker_image_synapse`
- from `docker_nginx_image` to `matrix_docker_image_nginx`
- from `docker_riot_image` to `matrix_docker_image_riot`
- from `docker_goofys_image` to `matrix_docker_image_goofys`
- from `docker_coturn_image` to `matrix_docker_image_coturn`
If you're overriding any of them in your `vars.yml` file, you'd need to change to the new names.

## Renaming Ansible playbook tag
The command for executing the whole playbook has changed.
The `setup-main` tag got renamed to `setup-all` .

## Docker container linking
Changed the way the Docker containers are linked together. The ones that need to communicate with others operate in a `matrix` network now and not in the default bridge network.
