v1.49.2

Synapse 1.49.2 (2021-12-21)

This release fixes a regression introduced in Synapse 1.49.0 which could cause /sync requests to take significantly longer. This would particularly affect "initial" syncs for users participating in a large number of rooms, and in extreme cases, could make it impossible for such users to log in on a new client.

Note: in line with our deprecation policy for platform dependencies, this will be the last release to support Python 3.6 and PostgreSQL 9.6, both of which have now reached upstream end-of-life. Synapse will require Python 3.7+ and PostgreSQL 10+.

Note: We will also stop producing packages for Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) after this release, as it uses Python 3.6.

Bugfixes

• Fix a performance regression in /sync handling, introduced in 1.49.0. (#11583)

Internal Changes

• Work around a build problem on Debian Buster. (#11625)

v1.49.0

Synapse 1.49.0 (2021-12-14)

No significant changes since version 1.49.0rc1.

Support for Ubuntu 21.04 ends next month on the 20th of January

For users of Ubuntu 21.04 (Hirsute Hippo), please be aware that upstream support for this version of Ubuntu will end next month. We will stop producing packages for Ubuntu 21.04 after upstream support ends.

The wiki has been migrated to the documentation website

We've decided to move the existing, somewhat stagnant pages from the GitHub wiki to the documentation website.

This was done for two reasons. The first was to ensure that changes are checked by multiple authors before being committed (everyone makes mistakes!) and the second was visibility of the documentation. Not everyone knows that Synapse has some very useful information hidden away in its GitHub wiki pages. Bringing them to the documentation website should help with visibility, as well as keep all Synapse documentation in one, easily-searchable location.

Note that contributions to the documentation website happen through [GitHub pull
