    Synapse 1.60.0 (2022-05-31)
    ===========================
    
    This release of Synapse adds a unique index to the `state_group_edges` table, in
    order to prevent accidentally introducing duplicate information (for example,
    because a database backup was restored multiple times). If your Synapse database
    already has duplicate rows in this table, this could fail with an error and
    require manual remediation.
    
    Additionally, the signature of the `check_event_for_spam` module callback has changed.
    The previous signature has been deprecated and remains working for now. Module authors
    should update their modules to use the new signature where possible.
    
    See [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1600)
    for more details.

    Synapse 1.59.0rc1 (2022-05-10)
    ==============================
    
    This release makes several changes that server administrators should be aware of:
    
    - Device name lookup over federation is now disabled by default. ([\#12616](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12616))
    - The `synapse.app.appservice` and `synapse.app.user_dir` worker application types are now deprecated. ([\#12452](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12452), [\#12654](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12654))
    
    See [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1590) for more details.
    
    Additionally, this release removes the non-standard `m.login.jwt` login type from Synapse. It can be replaced with `org.matrix.login.jwt` for identical behaviour. This is only used if `jwt_config.enabled` is set to `true` in the configuration. ([\#12597](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12597))
    
    Features
    --------
    
    - Support [MSC3266](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3266) room summaries over federation. ([\#11507](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11507))

  • v1.58.1
    Synapse 1.58.1 (2022-05-05)
    ===========================
    
    This patch release includes a fix to the Debian packages, installing the
    `systemd` and `cache_memory` extra package groups, which were incorrectly
    omitted in v1.58.0. This primarily prevented Synapse from starting
    when the `systemd.journal.JournalHandler` log handler was configured.
    See [#12631](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12631) for further information.
    
    Otherwise, no significant changes since 1.58.0.

  • v1.57.1
    f8f06fc7 · Clarify changelog entry ·
    Synapse 1.57.1 (2022-04-20)
    ===========================
    
    This is a patch release that only affects the Docker image. It is only of interest to administrators using [the LDAP module][LDAPModule] to authenticate their users.
    If you have already upgraded to Synapse 1.57.0 without problem, then you have no need to upgrade to this patch release.
    
    [LDAPModule]: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-synapse-ldap3
    
    Updates to the Docker image
    ---------------------------
    
    - Include version 0.2.0 of the Synapse LDAP Auth Provider module in the Docker image. This matches the version that was present in the Docker image for Synapse v1.56.0. ([\#12512](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12512))
    
  • v1.57.0
    Synapse 1.57.0 (2022-04-19)
    ===========================
    
    This version includes a [change](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/12209) to the way transaction IDs are managed for application services. If your deployment uses a dedicated worker for application service traffic, **it must be stopped** when the database is upgraded (which normally happens when the main process is upgraded), to ensure the change is made safely without any risk of reusing transaction IDs.
    
    See the [upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/v1.57.0rc1/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1570) for more details.
    
    No significant changes since 1.57.0rc1.

    Synapse 1.57.0rc1 (2022-04-12)
    ==============================
    
    This version includes a [change](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/12209) to the way transaction IDs are managed for application services. If your deployment uses a dedicated worker for application service traffic, **it must be stopped** when the database is upgraded (which normally happens when the main process is upgraded), to ensure the change is made safely without any risk of reusing transaction IDs.
    
    See the [upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1570) for more details.
    
    Features
    --------
    
    - Send device list changes to application services as specified by [MSC3202](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3202), using unstable prefixes. The `msc3202_transaction_extensions` experimental homeserver config option must be enabled and `org.matrix.msc3202: true` must be present in the application service registration file for device list changes to be sent. The "left" field is currently always empty. ([\#11881](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11881))
    - Optimise fetching large quantities of missing room state over federation. ([\#12040](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12040))
    - Offload the `update_client_ip` background job from the main process to the background worker, when using Redis-based replication. ([\#12251](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12251))
    - Move `update_client_ip` background job from the main process to the background worker. ([\#12252](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12252))

    Synapse 1.56.0 (2022-04-05)
    ===========================
    
    Synapse will now refuse to start up if open registration is enabled, in order to help mitigate
    abuse across the federation. If you would like
    to provide registration to anyone, consider adding [email](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/8a519f8abc6de772167c2cca101d22ee2052fafc/docs/sample_config.yaml#L1285),
    [recaptcha](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/CAPTCHA_SETUP.html)
    or [token-based](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/usage/administration/admin_api/registration_tokens.html) verification
    in order to prevent automated registration from bad actors.
    This check can be disabled by setting the `enable_registration_without_verification` option in your
    homeserver configuration file to `true`. More details are available in the
    [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/upgrade.html#open-registration-without-verification-is-now-disabled-by-default).
    
    Synapse will additionally now refuse to start when using PostgreSQL with a non-`C` values for `COLLATE` and `CTYPE`, unless
    the config flag `allow_unsafe_locale`, found in the database section of the configuration file, is set to `true`. See the
    [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/upgrade#change-in-behaviour-for-postgresql-databases-with-unsafe-locale)
    for details.

    Synapse 1.55.2 (2022-03-24)
    ===========================
    
    This patch version reverts the earlier fixes from Synapse 1.55.1, which could cause problems in certain deployments, and instead adds a cap to the version of Jinja to be installed. Again, this is to fix an incompatibility with version 3.1.0 of the [Jinja](https://pypi.org/project/Jinja2/) library, and again, deployments of Synapse using the `matrixdotorg/synapse` Docker image or Debian packages from packages.matrix.org are not affected.
    
    Internal Changes
    ----------------
    
    - Pin Jinja to <3.1.0, as Synapse fails to start with Jinja 3.1.0. ([\#12297](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12297))
    - Revert changes from 1.55.1 as they caused problems with older versions of Jinja ([\#12296](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12296))

    This is a patch release that fixes an incompatibility with version 3.1.0 of the [Jinja](https://pypi.org/project/Jinja2/) library, released on March 24th, 2022. Deployments of Synapse using the `matrixdotorg/synapse` Docker image or Debian packages from packages.matrix.org are not affected.
    
    Internal Changes
