-Synapse 1.54.0 (2022-03-08)
-===========================
-
-Please note that this will be the last release of Synapse that is compatible with Mjolnir 1.3.1 and earlier.
-Administrators of servers which have the Mjolnir module installed are advised to upgrade Mjolnir to version 1.3.2 or later.
-
-
-Bugfixes
---------
-
-- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.54.0rc1 preventing the new module callbacks introduced in this release from being registered by modules. ([\#12141](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12141))
-- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.54.0rc1 where runtime dependency version checks would mistakenly check development dependencies if they were present and would not accept pre-release versions of dependencies. ([\#12129](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12129), [\#12177](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12177))
-
-
-Internal Changes
-----------------
-
-- Update release script to insert the previous version when writing "No significant changes" line in the changelog. ([\#12127](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12127))

-Synapse 1.54.0rc1 (2022-03-02)
-==============================
-
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add support for [MSC3202](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3202): sending one-time key counts and fallback key usage states to Application Services. ([\#11617](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11617))
-- Improve the generated URL previews for some web pages. Contributed by @AndrewRyanChama. ([\#11985](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11985))
-- Track cache invalidations in Prometheus metrics, as already happens for cache eviction based on size or time. ([\#12000](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12000))
-- Implement experimental support for [MSC3720](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3720) (account status endpoints). ([\#12001](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12001), [\#12067](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12067))
-- Enable modules to set a custom display name when registering a user. ([\#12009](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12009))
-- Advertise Matrix 1.1 and 1.2 support on `/_matrix/client/versions`. ([\#12020](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12020), ([\#12022](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12022))
-- Support only the stable identifier for [MSC3069](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3069)'s `is_guest` on `/_matrix/client/v3/account/whoami`. ([\#12021](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12021))
-- Use room version 9 as the default room version (per [MSC3589](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3589)). ([\#12058](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12058))
-- Add module callbacks to react to user deactivation status changes (i.e. deactivations and reactivations) and profile updates. ([\#12062](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12062))
-
-
-Bugfixes
---------
-
-- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.48.0 where an edit of the latest event in a thread would not be properly applied to the thread summary. ([\#11992](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11992))
-- Fix long-standing bug where the `get_rooms_for_user` cache was not correctly invalidated for remote users when the server left a room. ([\#11999](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11999))
-- Fix a 500 error with Postgres when looking backwards with the [MSC3030](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3030) `/timestamp_to_event?dir=b` endpoint. ([\#12024](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12024))
-- Properly fix a long-standing bug where wrong data could be inserted into the `event_search` table when using SQLite. This could block running `synapse_port_db` with an `argument of type 'int' is not iterable` error. This bug was partially fixed by a change in Synapse 1.44.0. ([\#12037](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12037))
-- Fix slow performance of `/logout` in some cases where refresh tokens are in use. The slowness existed since the initial implementation of refresh tokens in version 1.38.0. ([\#12056](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12056))
-- Fix a long-standing bug where Synapse would make additional failing requests over federation for missing data. ([\#12077](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12077))
-- Fix occasional `Unhandled error in Deferred` error message. ([\#12089](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12089))
-- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.51.0 where incoming federation transactions containing at least one EDU would be dropped if debug logging was enabled for `synapse.8631_debug`. ([\#12098](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12098))
-- Fix a long-standing bug which could cause push notifications to malfunction if `use_frozen_dicts` was set in the configuration. ([\#12100](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12100))
-- Fix an extremely rare, long-standing bug in `ReadWriteLock` that would cause an error when a newly unblocked writer completes instantly. ([\#12105](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12105))
-- Make a `POST` to `/rooms/<room_id>/receipt/m.read/<event_id>` only trigger a push notification if the count of unread messages is different to the one in the last successfully sent push. This reduces server load and load on the receiving device. ([\#11835](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11835))
-
-
-Updates to the Docker image
----------------------------
-
-- The Docker image no longer automatically creates a temporary volume at `/data`. This is not expected to affect normal usage. ([\#11997](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11997))
-- Use Python 3.9 in Docker images by default. ([\#12112](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12112))
-
-
-Improved Documentation
-----------------------
-
-- Document support for the `to_device`, `account_data`, `receipts`, and `presence` stream writers for workers. ([\#11599](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11599))
-- Explain the meaning of spam checker callbacks' return values. ([\#12003](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12003))
-- Clarify information about external Identity Provider IDs. ([\#12004](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12004))
-
-
-Deprecations and Removals
--------------------------
-
-- Deprecate using `synctl` with the config option `synctl_cache_factor` and print a warning if a user still uses this option. ([\#11865](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11865))
-- Remove support for the legacy structured logging configuration (please see the the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/upgrade#legacy-structured-logging-configuration-removal) if you are using `structured: true` in the Synapse configuration). ([\#12008](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12008))
-- Drop support for [MSC3283](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3283) unstable flags now that the stable flags are supported. ([\#12018](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12018))
-- Remove the unstable `/spaces` endpoint from [MSC2946](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2946). ([\#12073](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12073))

-has recently been released, which fixes a [security issue](https://github.com/twisted/twisted/security/advisories/GHSA-92x2-jw7w-xvvx)
-within the Twisted library. We do not believe Synapse is affected by this vulnerability,
-though we advise server administrators who installed Synapse via pip to upgrade Twisted
-with `pip install --upgrade Twisted treq` as a matter of good practice. The Docker image
-`matrixdotorg/synapse` and the Debian packages from `packages.matrix.org` are using the
-updated library.

-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](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/deprecation_policy.html) 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](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11583))
-
-Internal Changes
-----------------
-
-- Work around a build problem on Debian Buster. ([\#11625](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11625))

-
-Synapse 1.49.1 (2021-12-21)

-
-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][Ubuntu2104EOL].
-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](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/).
-
-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
-requests](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pulls). Please visit [#synapse-dev:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#synapse-dev:matrix.org)
-if you need help with the process!

-Synapse 1.47.1 (2021-11-23)
-===========================
-
-This release fixes a security issue in the media store, affecting all prior releases 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 1.47.1.
-
-- **[GHSA-3hfw-x7gx-437c](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-3hfw-x7gx-437c) / [CVE-2021-41281](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-41281): Path traversal when downloading remote media.**
-
-  Synapse instances with the media repository enabled can be tricked into downloading a file from a remote server into an arbitrary directory, potentially outside the media store directory.
-
-  The last two directories and file name of the path are chosen randomly by Synapse and cannot be controlled by an attacker, which limits the impact.
-
-  Homeservers with the media repository disabled are unaffected. Homeservers configured with a federation whitelist are also unaffected.
-
-  Fixed by [91f2bd090](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/91f2bd090).
-
-
-Synapse 1.47.0 (2021-11-17)

-Bugfixes
---------
-
-- Fix a bug introduced in 1.47.0rc1 which caused worker processes to not halt startup in the presence of outstanding database migrations. ([\#11346](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11346))
-- Fix a bug introduced in 1.47.0rc1 which prevented the 'remove deleted devices from `device_inbox` column' background process from running when updating from a recent Synapse version. ([\#11303](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11303), [\#11353](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11353))

+DO NOT USE THESE DEMO SERVERS IN PRODUCTION
+
+Requires you to have done:
+    python setup.py develop
+
+
+The demo start.sh will start three synapse servers on ports 8080, 8081 and 8082, with host names localhost:$port. This can be easily changed to `hostname`:$port in start.sh if required.
+
+To enable the servers to communicate untrusted ssl certs are used. In order to do this the servers do not check the certs
+and are configured in a highly insecure way. Do not use these configuration files in production.
+
+stop.sh will stop the synapse servers and the webclient.
+
+clean.sh will delete the databases and log files.
+
+To start a completely new set of servers, run:
+
+    ./demo/stop.sh; ./demo/clean.sh && ./demo/start.sh
+
+
+Logs and sqlitedb will be stored in demo/808{0,1,2}.{log,db}
+
+
+
+Also note that when joining a public room on a differnt HS via "#foo:bar.net", then you are (in the current impl) joining a room with room_id "foo". This means that it won't work if your HS already has a room with that name.

+
+## Historical Note
+This document was originally written to guide server admins through the upgrade
+path towards Synapse 1.0. Specifically,
+[MSC1711](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/main/proposals/1711-x509-for-federation.md)
+required that all servers present valid TLS certificates on their federation
+API. Admins were encouraged to achieve compliance from version 0.99.0 (released
+in February 2019) ahead of version 1.0 (released June 2019) enforcing the
+certificate checks.
+
+Much of what follows is now outdated since most admins will have already
+upgraded, however it may be of use to those with old installs returning to the
+project.
+
+If you are setting up a server from scratch you almost certainly should look at
+the [installation guide](setup/installation.md) instead.
+
+## Introduction
+The goal of Synapse 0.99.0 is to act as a stepping stone to Synapse 1.0.0. It
+supports the r0.1 release of the server to server specification, but is
+compatible with both the legacy Matrix federation behaviour (pre-r0.1) as well
+as post-r0.1 behaviour, in order to allow for a smooth upgrade across the
+federation.
+
+The most important thing to know is that Synapse 1.0.0 will require a valid TLS
+certificate on federation endpoints. Self signed certificates will not be
+sufficient.
+
+Synapse 0.99.0 makes it easy to configure TLS certificates and will
+interoperate with both >= 1.0.0 servers as well as existing servers yet to
+upgrade.
+
+**It is critical that all admins upgrade to 0.99.0 and configure a valid TLS
+certificate.** Admins will have 1 month to do so, after which 1.0.0 will be
+released and those servers without a valid certificate will not longer be able
+to federate with >= 1.0.0 servers.
+
+Full details on how to carry out this configuration change is given
+[below](#configuring-certificates-for-compatibility-with-synapse-100). A
+timeline and some frequently asked questions are also given below.
+
+For more details and context on the release of the r0.1 Server/Server API and
+imminent Matrix 1.0 release, you can also see our
+[main talk from FOSDEM 2019](https://matrix.org/blog/2019/02/04/matrix-at-fosdem-2019/).

+## Timeline
+
+**5th Feb 2019  - Synapse 0.99.0 is released.**
+
+All server admins are encouraged to upgrade.
+
+0.99.0:
+
+-   provides support for ACME to make setting up Let's Encrypt certs easy, as
+    well as .well-known support.
+
+-   does not enforce that a valid CA cert is present on the federation API, but
+    rather makes it easy to set one up.
+
+-   provides support for .well-known
+
+Admins should upgrade and configure a valid CA cert. Homeservers that require a
+.well-known entry (see below), should retain their SRV record and use it
+alongside their .well-known record.
+
+**10th June 2019  - Synapse 1.0.0 is released**
+
+1.0.0 is scheduled for release on 10th June. In
+accordance with the the [S2S spec](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/server_server/r0.1.0.html)
+1.0.0 will enforce certificate validity. This means that any homeserver without a
+valid certificate after this point will no longer be able to federate with
+1.0.0 servers.
+
+## Configuring certificates for compatibility with Synapse 1.0.0
+
+### If you do not currently have an SRV record
+
+In this case, your `server_name` points to the host where your Synapse is
+running. There is no need to create a `.well-known` URI or an SRV record, but
+you will need to give Synapse a valid, signed, certificate.
+
+### If you do have an SRV record currently
+
+If you are using an SRV record, your matrix domain (`server_name`) may not
+point to the same host that your Synapse is running on (the 'target
+domain'). (If it does, you can follow the recommendation above; otherwise, read
+on.)
+
+Let's assume that your `server_name` is `example.com`, and your Synapse is
+hosted at a target domain of `customer.example.net`. Currently you should have
+an SRV record which looks like:
+
+```
+_matrix._tcp.example.com. IN SRV 10 5 8000 customer.example.net.
+```
+
+In this situation, you have three choices for how to proceed:
+
+#### Option 1: give Synapse a certificate for your matrix domain
+
+Synapse 1.0 will expect your server to present a TLS certificate for your
+`server_name` (`example.com` in the above example). You can achieve this by acquiring a
+certificate for the `server_name` yourself (for example, using `certbot`), and giving it
+and the key to Synapse via `tls_certificate_path` and `tls_private_key_path`.
+
+#### Option 2: run Synapse behind a reverse proxy
+
+If you have an existing reverse proxy set up with correct TLS certificates for
+your domain, you can simply route all traffic through the reverse proxy by
+updating the SRV record appropriately (or removing it, if the proxy listens on
+8448).
+
+See [the reverse proxy documentation](reverse_proxy.md) for information on setting up a
+reverse proxy.
+
+#### Option 3: add a .well-known file to delegate your matrix traffic
+
+This will allow you to keep Synapse on a separate domain, without having to
+give it a certificate for the matrix domain.
+
+You can do this with a `.well-known` file as follows:
+
+ 1. Keep the SRV record in place - it is needed for backwards compatibility
+    with Synapse 0.34 and earlier.
+
+  2. Give Synapse a certificate corresponding to the target domain
+    (`customer.example.net` in the above example). You can do this by acquire a 
+    certificate for the target domain and giving it to Synapse via `tls_certificate_path`
+    and `tls_private_key_path`.
+
+ 3. Restart Synapse to ensure the new certificate is loaded.
+
+ 4. Arrange for a `.well-known` file at
+    `https://<server_name>/.well-known/matrix/server` with contents:
+
+    ```json
+    {"m.server": "<target server name>"}
+    ```
+
+    where the target server name is resolved as usual (i.e. SRV lookup, falling
+    back to talking to port 8448).
+
+    In the above example, where synapse is listening on port 8000,
+    `https://example.com/.well-known/matrix/server` should have `m.server` set to one of:
+
+    1. `customer.example.net` ─ with a SRV record on
+       `_matrix._tcp.customer.example.com` pointing to port 8000, or:
+
+    2. `customer.example.net` ─ updating synapse to listen on the default port
+       8448, or:
+
+    3. `customer.example.net:8000` ─ ensuring that if there is a reverse proxy
+       on `customer.example.net:8000` it correctly handles HTTP requests with
+       Host header set to `customer.example.net:8000`.
+
+## FAQ
+
+### Synapse 0.99.0 has just been released, what do I need to do right now?
+
+Upgrade as soon as you can in preparation for Synapse 1.0.0, and update your
+TLS certificates as [above](#configuring-certificates-for-compatibility-with-synapse-100).
+
+### What will happen if I do not set up a valid federation certificate immediately?
+
+Nothing initially, but once 1.0.0 is in the wild it will not be possible to
+federate with 1.0.0 servers.
+
+### What will happen if I do nothing at all?
+
+If the admin takes no action at all, and remains on a Synapse < 0.99.0 then the
+homeserver will be unable to federate with those who have implemented
+.well-known. Then, as above, once the month upgrade window has expired the
+homeserver will not be able to federate with any Synapse >= 1.0.0
+
+### When do I need a SRV record or .well-known URI?
+
+If your homeserver listens on the default federation port (8448), and your
+`server_name` points to the host that your homeserver runs on, you do not need an
+SRV record or `.well-known/matrix/server` URI.
+
+For instance, if you registered `example.com` and pointed its DNS A record at a
+fresh Upcloud VPS or similar, you could install Synapse 0.99 on that host,
+giving it a server_name of `example.com`, and it would automatically generate a
+valid TLS certificate for you via Let's Encrypt and no SRV record or
+`.well-known` URI would be needed.
+
+This is the common case, although you can add an SRV record or
+`.well-known/matrix/server` URI for completeness if you wish.
+
+**However**, if your server does not listen on port 8448, or if your `server_name`
+does not point to the host that your homeserver runs on, you will need to let
+other servers know how to find it.
+
+In this case, you should see ["If you do have an SRV record
+currently"](#if-you-do-have-an-srv-record-currently) above.
+
+### Can I still use an SRV record?
+
+Firstly, if you didn't need an SRV record before (because your server is
+listening on port 8448 of your server_name), you certainly don't need one now:
+the defaults are still the same.
+
+If you previously had an SRV record, you can keep using it provided you are
+able to give Synapse a TLS certificate corresponding to your server name. For
+example, suppose you had the following SRV record, which directs matrix traffic
+for example.com to matrix.example.com:443:
+
+```
+_matrix._tcp.example.com. IN SRV 10 5 443 matrix.example.com
+```
+
+In this case, Synapse must be given a certificate for example.com - or be
+configured to acquire one from Let's Encrypt.
+
+If you are unable to give Synapse a certificate for your server_name, you will
+also need to use a .well-known URI instead. However, see also "I have created a
+.well-known URI. Do I still need an SRV record?".
+
+### I have created a .well-known URI. Do I still need an SRV record?
+
+As of Synapse 0.99, Synapse will first check for the existence of a `.well-known`
+URI and follow any delegation it suggests. It will only then check for the
+existence of an SRV record.
+
+That means that the SRV record will often be redundant. However, you should
+remember that there may still be older versions of Synapse in the federation
+which do not understand `.well-known` URIs, so if you removed your SRV record you
+would no longer be able to federate with them.
+
+It is therefore best to leave the SRV record in place for now. Synapse 0.34 and
+earlier will follow the SRV record (and not care about the invalid
+certificate). Synapse 0.99 and later will follow the .well-known URI, with the
+correct certificate chain.
+
+### It used to work just fine, why are you breaking everything?
+
+We have always wanted Matrix servers to be as easy to set up as possible, and
+so back when we started federation in 2014 we didn't want admins to have to go
+through the cumbersome process of buying a valid TLS certificate to run a
+server. This was before Let's Encrypt came along and made getting a free and
+valid TLS certificate straightforward. So instead, we adopted a system based on
+[Perspectives](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergence_(SSL)): an approach
+where you check a set of "notary servers" (in practice, homeservers) to vouch
+for the validity of a certificate rather than having it signed by a CA. As long
+as enough different notaries agree on the certificate's validity, then it is
+trusted.
+
+However, in practice this has never worked properly. Most people only use the
+default notary server (matrix.org), leading to inadvertent centralisation which
+we want to eliminate. Meanwhile, we never implemented the full consensus
+algorithm to query the servers participating in a room to determine consensus
+on whether a given certificate is valid. This is fiddly to get right
+(especially in face of sybil attacks), and we found ourselves questioning
+whether it was worth the effort to finish the work and commit to maintaining a
+secure certificate validation system as opposed to focusing on core Matrix
+development.
+
+Meanwhile, Let's Encrypt came along in 2016, and put the final nail in the
+coffin of the Perspectives project (which was already pretty dead). So, the
+Spec Core Team decided that a better approach would be to mandate valid TLS
+certificates for federation alongside the rest of the Web. More details can be
+found in
+[MSC1711](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/main/proposals/1711-x509-for-federation.md#background-the-failure-of-the-perspectives-approach).
+
+This results in a breaking change, which is disruptive, but absolutely critical
+for the security model. However, the existence of Let's Encrypt as a trivial
+way to replace the old self-signed certificates with valid CA-signed ones helps
+smooth things over massively, especially as Synapse can now automate Let's
+Encrypt certificate generation if needed.
+
+### Can I manage my own certificates rather than having Synapse renew certificates itself?
+
+Yes, you are welcome to manage your certificates yourself. Synapse will only
+attempt to obtain certificates from Let's Encrypt if you configure it to do
+so.The only requirement is that there is a valid TLS cert present for
+federation end points.
+
+### Do you still recommend against using a reverse proxy on the federation port?
+
+We no longer actively recommend against using a reverse proxy. Many admins will
+find it easier to direct federation traffic to a reverse proxy and manage their
+own TLS certificates, and this is a supported configuration.
+
+See [the reverse proxy documentation](reverse_proxy.md) for information on setting up a
+reverse proxy.
+
+### Do I still need to give my TLS certificates to Synapse if I am using a reverse proxy?
+
+Practically speaking, this is no longer necessary.
+
+If you are using a reverse proxy for all of your TLS traffic, then you can set
+`no_tls: True`. In that case, the only reason Synapse needs the certificate is
+to populate a legacy 'tls_fingerprints' field in the federation API. This is
+ignored by Synapse 0.99.0 and later, and the only time pre-0.99 Synapses will
+check it is when attempting to fetch the server keys - and generally this is
+delegated via `matrix.org`, which is on 0.99.0.
+
+However, there is a bug in Synapse 0.99.0
+[4554](<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4554>) which prevents
+Synapse from starting if you do not give it a TLS certificate. To work around
+this, you can give it any TLS certificate at all. This will be fixed soon.
+
+### Do I need the same certificate for the client and federation port?
+
+No. There is nothing stopping you from using different certificates,
+particularly if you are using a reverse proxy. However, Synapse will use the
+same certificate on any ports where TLS is configured.
+
+### How do I tell Synapse to reload my keys/certificates after I replace them?
+
+Synapse will reload the keys and certificates when it receives a SIGHUP - for
+example `kill -HUP $(cat homeserver.pid)`. Alternatively, simply restart
+Synapse, though this will result in downtime while it restarts.
