Admins can opt-out: see [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.76/docs/upgrade.md#faster-joins-are-enabled-by-default) for more details.
The upgrade from 1.75 to 1.76 changes the account data replication streams in a backwards-incompatible manner. Server operators running a multi-worker deployment should consult [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.76/docs/upgrade.md#changes-to-the-account-data-replication-streams).
Those who are `poetry install`ing from source using our lockfile should ensure their poetry version is 1.3.2 or higher; [see upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.76/docs/upgrade.md#minimum-version-of-poetry-is-now-132).
Notes on faster joins
---------------------
The faster joins project sees the most benefit when joining a room with a large number of members (joined or historical). We expect it to be particularly useful for joining large public rooms like the [Matrix HQ](https://matrix.to/#/#matrix:matrix.org) or [Synapse Admins](https://matrix.to/#/#synapse:matrix.org) rooms.
After a faster join, Synapse considers that room "partially joined". In this state, you should be able to
- read incoming messages;
- see incoming state changes, e.g. room topic changes; and
- send messages, if the room is unencrypted.
Synapse has to spend more effort to complete the join in the background. Once this finishes, you will be able to
- send messages, if the room is in encrypted;
- retrieve room history from before your join, if permitted by the room settings; and
- access the full list of room members.
Improved Documentation

Synapse 1.70.1 (2022-10-28)
===========================
This release fixes some regressions that were discovered in 1.70.0.
[#14300](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14300)
was previously reported to be a regression in 1.70.0 as well. However, we have
since concluded that it was limited to the reporter and thus have not needed
to include any fix for it in 1.70.1.
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.70.0rc1 where the access tokens sent to application services as headers were malformed. Application services which were obtaining access tokens from query parameters were not affected. ([\#14301](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14301))
- Fix room creation being rate limited too aggressively since Synapse v1.69.0. ([\#14314](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14314))
Synapse 1.70.0 (2022-10-26)

**Notice:** from the next major release (1.68.0) installing Synapse from a source
checkout will require a recent Rust compiler. Those using packages or
`pip install matrix-synapse` will not be affected. See the [upgrade
notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.67/upgrade.html#upgrading-to-v1670).
**Notice:** from the next major release (1.68.0), running Synapse with a SQLite
database will require SQLite version 3.27.0 or higher. (The [current minimum
version is SQLite 3.22.0](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.67/synapse/storage/engines/sqlite.py#L69-L78).)
See [#12983](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12983) and the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.67/upgrade.html#upgrading-to-v1670) for more details.
No significant changes since 1.67.0rc1.

Synapse 1.66.0 (2022-08-31)
===========================
No significant changes since 1.66.0rc2.
This release removes the ability for homeservers to delegate email ownership
verification and password reset confirmation to identity servers. This removal
was originally planned for Synapse 1.64, but was later deferred until now. See
the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.66/upgrade.html#upgrading-to-v1660) for more details.
Deployments with multiple workers should note that the direct TCP replication
configuration was deprecated in Synapse 1.18.0 and will be removed in Synapse
v1.67.0. In particular, the TCP `replication` [listener](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.66/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#listeners)
type (not to be confused with the `replication` resource on the `http` listener
type) and the `worker_replication_port` config option will be removed .
To migrate to Redis, add the [`redis` config](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.66/workers.html#shared-configuration),
then remove the TCP `replication` listener from config of the master and
`worker_replication_port` from worker config. Note that a HTTP listener with a
`replication` resource is still required. See the
[worker documentation](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.66/workers.html)
for more details.
Synapse 1.66.0rc2 (2022-08-30)
==============================

Synapse 1.62.0 (2022-07-05)
===========================
No significant changes since 1.62.0rc3.
Authors of spam-checker plugins should consult the [upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.62/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1620) to learn about the enriched signatures for spam checker callbacks, which are supported with this release of Synapse.
## Security advisory
The following issue is fixed in 1.62.0.
* [GHSA-jhjh-776m-4765](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-jhjh-776m-4765) / [CVE-2022-31152](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-31152)
Synapse instances prior to 1.62.0 did not implement the Matrix [event authorization rules](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.3/rooms/v10/#authorization-rules) correctly. An attacker could craft events which would be accepted by Synapse but not a spec-conformant server, potentially causing divergence in the room state between servers.
Homeservers with federation disabled via the [`federation_domain_whitelist`](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#federation_domain_whitelist) config option are unaffected.
Administrators of homeservers with federation enabled are advised to upgrade to v1.62.0 or higher.
Fixed by [#13087](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/13087) and [#13088](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/13088).

Synapse 1.61.1 (2022-06-28)
===========================
This patch release fixes a security issue regarding URL previews, affecting all prior versions of Synapse. Server administrators are encouraged to update Synapse as soon as possible. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild.
Server administrators who are unable to update Synapse may use the workarounds described in the linked GitHub Security Advisory below.
## Security advisory
The following issue is fixed in 1.61.1.
* [GHSA-22p3-qrh9-cx32](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-22p3-qrh9-cx32) / [CVE-2022-31052](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-31052)
Synapse instances with the [`url_preview_enabled`](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.61/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#media-store) homeserver config option set to `true` are affected. URL previews of some web pages can lead to unbounded recursion, causing the request to either fail, or in some cases crash the running Synapse process.
Requesting URL previews requires authentication. Nevertheless, it is possible to exploit this maliciously, either by malicious users on the homeserver, or by remote users sending URLs that a local user's client may automatically request a URL preview for.
Homeservers with the `url_preview_enabled` configuration option set to `false` (the default) are unaffected. Instances with the `enable_media_repo` configuration option set to `false` are also unaffected, as this also disables URL preview functionality.
Fixed by [fa1308061802ac7b7d20e954ba7372c5ac292333](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/fa1308061802ac7b7d20e954ba7372c5ac292333).
Synapse 1.61.0 (2022-06-14)
===========================
This release removes support for the non-standard feature known both as 'groups' and as 'communities', which have been superseded by *Spaces*.
See [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1610)
for more details.
- Mention removed community/group worker endpoints in [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1610). Contributed by @olmari. ([\#13023](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13023))
