Please note that, as announced in the release notes for Synapse 1.69.0, legacy Prometheus metric names are now disabled by default.
They will be removed altogether in Synapse 1.73.0.
If not already done, server administrators should update their dashboards and alerting rules to avoid using the deprecated metric names.
See the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.71/upgrade.html#upgrading-to-v1710) for more details.
**Note:** in line with our [deprecation policy](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/deprecation_policy.html) for platform dependencies, this will be the last release to support PostgreSQL 10, which reaches upstream end-of-life on November 10th, 2022. Future releases of Synapse will require PostgreSQL 11+.
No significant changes since 1.71.0rc2.

- Complement: Initialise the Postgres database directly inside the target image instead of the base Postgres image to fix building using Buildah. ([\#13819](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13819))
- Support providing an index predicate clause when doing upserts. ([\#13822](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13822))
- Minor speedups to linting in CI. ([\#13827](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13827))
This release removes using the deprecated direct TCP replication configuration
for workers. Server admins should use Redis instead. See the [upgrade
notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.67/upgrade.html#upgrading-to-v1670).
The minimum version of `poetry` supported for managing source checkouts is now
1.2.0.
**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)
==============================
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.66.0rc1 where the new rate limit metrics were misreported (`synapse_rate_limit_sleep_affected_hosts`, `synapse_rate_limit_reject_affected_hosts`). ([\#13649](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13649))

Bugfixes
--------
- Faster room joins: make `/joined_members` block whilst the room is partial stated. ([\#13514](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13514))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.21.0 where the [`/event_reports` Admin API](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/admin_api/event_reports.html) could return a total count which was larger than the number of results you can actually query for. ([\#13525](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13525))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.52.0 where sending server notices fails if `max_avatar_size` or `allowed_avatar_mimetypes` is set and not `system_mxid_avatar_url`. ([\#13566](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13566))
- Fix a bug where the `opentracing.force_tracing_for_users` config option would not apply to [`/sendToDevice`](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.3/client-server-api/#put_matrixclientv3sendtodeviceeventtypetxnid) and [`/keys/upload`](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.3/client-server-api/#post_matrixclientv3keysupload) requests. ([\#13574](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13574))

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
- Remove the ability for homeservers to delegate email ownership verification
and password reset confirmation to identity servers. See [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.66/upgrade.html#upgrading-to-v1660) for more details.
