v2.2.0

Highlights

• Files that are part of syncFromSynapse and syncToSynapse operations (synapse get -r and synapse sync in the command line client, respectively) are transferred in in parallel threads rather than serially, substantially improving the performance of these operations.
• Table metadata from synapse get -q is automatically downloaded to a users working directory instead of to the Synapse cache (a hidden folder).
• Users can now pass their API key to synapse login in place of a password.
