v0.4.0

This is a new release to address the incompatibility between matrix-python v0.3.2 and Synapse v1.38.0+. See #320 for the full details.

Changes since v0.3.2:

• Experimental support for encrypted rooms has been implemented. Note that
  the functionality is disabled by default, but can be enabled by first
  installing the native libolm library (v3.0.0+), then the
  encryption-related python dependencies with:

  pip install matrix-client[e2e]
  

• Add an option (use_authorization_header) for sending auth tokens using the HTTP Authorization
  header instead of the access_token query parameter.

• Add the ability to set the room name and whether room federation is allowed with create_room().

• Catch MissingSchema errors that could be raised by the http library
  (see issue #221 for details).

• Add urllib3 as an explicit dependency.

• Include the SDK version in the User Agent of requests.

• Speed up membership handling code in rooms.

• Use lexicographical sort to room displayname calculation.

• Add a new method, whoami, for determining the Matrix ID of the
  currently authenticated user.

• Better support for global vs. per-room display names.

• Better handling of users who lack a display name.

• Add support for specifying a filename when uploading media.

• Numerous fixes to the tests.

v0.3.2

User-facing changes since v0.2.0:

• Can now set join_rules and guest_access for rooms #174
• Fix crash of listener thread for HTTP errors <500 #183
• Deprecate getter and setter methods #196
• Fix exception when retrieving avatar that doesn't exist #202
• Fix ignoring state events coming down timeline in /sync #199
• Add Api endpoints necessary for e2ee #209 #212 #222
• Make full_state sync parameter actually work #227
• Fix room member list getting corrupted any time display_name property
  retrieved #231
• Combine login methods to single method with kwargs #229
• Allow specifying device_id on login #229
• Fix many potential bugs especially in cases with multiple MatrixHttpApi
• objects #236

A lot of the things above might seem inconsequential, but many of these were
rather hideous bugs. Stability of the sdk should be greatly improved after this
update. After updating, please make sure to update your code to deal with
deprecation warnings; deprecated functionality will likely be replaced in the
next release.

Many thanks to @Zil0, @Matrixcoffee, @DylanVanAssche, @Androbin, @pik,
@AnothonyOfSeattlle, @Half-Shot, and @pcppcp for all their help with this
release.
