Synapse 1.34.0 (2021-05-17)

This release deprecates the room_invite_state_types configuration setting. See the upgrade notes for instructions on updating your configuration file to use the new room_prejoin_state setting.

This release also deprecates the POST /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>/delete admin API route. Server administrators are encouraged to update their scripts to use the new DELETE /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id> route instead.

No significant changes since v1.34.0rc1.

Features

  • Add experimental option to track memory usage of the caches. (#9881)
  • Add support for DELETE /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>. (#9889)

  • Improve performance after joining a large room when presence is enabled. (#9910, #9916)
