+# Maunium Synapse
+This is a fork of [Synapse] to remove dumb limits and fix bugs that the
+upstream devs don't want to fix.
+
+The only official distribution is the docker image in the [GitLab container
+registry], but you can also install from source ([upstream instructions]).
+
+The master branch and `:latest` docker tag are upgraded to each upstream
+release candidate very soon after release (usually within 10 minutes†). There
+are also docker tags for each release, e.g. `:1.75.0`. If you don't want RCs,
+use the specific release tags.
+
+†If there are merge conflicts, the update may be delayed for up to a few days
+after the full release.

+## List of changes
+* Default power level for room creator is 9001 instead of 100.
+* Room creator can specify a custom room ID with the `room_id` param in the
+  request body. If the room ID is already in use, it will return `M_CONFLICT`.
+* ~~URL previewer user agent includes `Bot` so Twitter previews work properly.~~
+  Upstreamed after over 2 years 🎉
+* ~~Local event creation concurrency is disabled to avoid unnecessary state
+  resolution.~~ Upstreamed after over 3 years 🎉
+* Register admin API can register invalid user IDs.
+* Docker image with jemalloc enabled by default.
+* Config option to allow specific users to send events without unnecessary
+  validation.
+* Config option to allow specific users to receive events that are usually
+  filtered away (e.g. `org.matrix.dummy_event` and `m.room.aliases`).
+* Config option to allow specific users to use timestamp massaging without
+  being appservice users.
+* Removed bad pusher URL validation.
+* webp images are thumbnailed to webp instead of jpeg to avoid losing
+  transparency.
+* Media repo `Cache-Control` header says `immutable` and 1 year for all media
+  that exists, as media IDs in Matrix are immutable.
+* Allowed sending custom data with read receipts.
+
+You can view the full list of changes on the [meow-patchset] branch.
+Additionally, historical patch sets are saved as `meow-patchset-vX` [tags].

+Synapse is an open source `Matrix <https://matrix.org>`__ homeserver
+implementation, written and maintained by `Element <https://element.io>`_.
+`Matrix <https://github.com/matrix-org>`__ is the open standard for
+secure and interoperable real time communications. You can directly run
+and manage the source code in this repository, available under an AGPL
+license (or alternatively under a commercial license from Element).
+There is no support provided by Element unless you have a
+subscription from Element.
+
+Subscription
+============
+
+For those that need an enterprise-ready solution, Element
+Server Suite (ESS) is `available via subscription <https://element.io/pricing>`_.
+ESS builds on Synapse to offer a complete Matrix-based backend including the full
+`Admin Console product <https://element.io/enterprise-functionality/admin-console>`_,
+giving admins the power to easily manage an organization-wide
+deployment. It includes advanced identity management, auditing,
+moderation and data retention options as well as Long Term Support and
+SLAs. ESS can be used to support any Matrix-based frontend client.
