-Next version
-============
-
-* Two new templates (`sso_auth_confirm.html` and `sso_account_deactivated.html`)
-  were added to Synapse. If your Synapse is configured to use SSO and a custom 
-  `sso_redirect_confirm_template_dir` configuration then these templates will
-  need to be duplicated into that directory.
-
-* Plugins using the `complete_sso_login` method of `synapse.module_api.ModuleApi`
-  should update to using the async/await version `complete_sso_login_async` which
-  includes additional checks. The non-async version is considered deprecated.

-Synapse 1.12.3 (2020-04-03)
-===========================

-- Fix a bug which could cause outbound federation traffic to stop working if a client uploaded an incorrect e2e device signature. ([\#7177](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7177)). Introduced in v1.11.0.
-
-Synapse 1.12.0 (2020-03-23)
-===========================
-
-No significant changes since 1.12.0rc1.
-
-Debian packages and Docker images are rebuilt using the latest versions of
-dependency libraries, including Twisted 20.3.0. **Please see security advisory
-below**.
-
-Security advisory
------------------
-
-Synapse may be vulnerable to request-smuggling attacks when it is used with a
-reverse-proxy. The vulnerabilties are fixed in Twisted 20.3.0, and are
-described in
-[CVE-2020-10108](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-10108)
-and
-[CVE-2020-10109](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-10109).
-For a good introduction to this class of request-smuggling attacks, see
-https://portswigger.net/research/http-desync-attacks-request-smuggling-reborn.
-
-We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild, and
-do not believe that they are exploitable with current versions of any reverse
-proxies. Nevertheless, we recommend that all Synapse administrators ensure that
-they have the latest versions of the Twisted library to ensure that their
-installation remains secure.
-
-* Administrators using the [`matrix.org` Docker
-  image](https://hub.docker.com/r/matrixdotorg/synapse/) or the [Debian/Ubuntu
-  packages from
-  `matrix.org`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/INSTALL.md#matrixorg-packages)
-  should ensure that they have version 1.12.0 installed: these images include
-  Twisted 20.3.0.
-* Administrators who have [installed Synapse from
-  source](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/INSTALL.md#installing-from-source)
-  should upgrade Twisted within their virtualenv by running:
-  ```sh
-  <path_to_virtualenv>/bin/pip install 'Twisted>=20.3.0'
-  ```
-* Administrators who have installed Synapse from distribution packages should
-  consult the information from their distributions.
-
-The `matrix.org` Synapse instance was not vulnerable to these vulnerabilities.
-
-Advance notice of change to the default `git` branch for Synapse
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Currently, the default `git` branch for Synapse is `master`, which tracks the
-latest release.
-
-After the release of Synapse 1.13.0, we intend to change this default to
-`develop`, which is the development tip. This is more consistent with common
-practice and modern `git` usage.
-
-Although we try to keep `develop` in a stable state, there may be occasions
-where regressions creep in. Developers and distributors who have scripts which
-run builds using the default branch of `Synapse` should therefore consider
-pinning their scripts to `master`.

-- Changes related to room alias management ([MSC2432](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2432)):
-  - Publishing/removing a room from the room directory now requires the user to have a power level capable of modifying the canonical alias, instead of the room aliases. ([\#6965](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6965))

-## Merge Strategy
-
-We use the commit history of develop/master extensively to identify
-when regressions were introduced and what changes have been made.
-
-We aim to have a clean merge history, which means we normally squash-merge
-changes into develop. For small changes this means there is no need to rebase
-to clean up your PR before merging. Larger changes with an organised set of
-commits may be merged as-is, if the history is judged to be useful.
-
-This use of squash-merging will mean PRs built on each other will be hard to 
-merge. We suggest avoiding these where possible, and if required, ensuring
-each PR has a tidy set of commits to ease merging.
-
 ## Conclusion
 
 That's it! Matrix is a very open and collaborative project as you might expect

+### Troubleshooting Installation
+
+XXX a bunch of this is no longer relevant.
+
+Synapse requires pip 8 or later, so if your OS provides too old a version you
+may need to manually upgrade it::
+
+    sudo pip install --upgrade pip
+
+Installing may fail with `Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pymacaroons-pynacl (from matrix-synapse==0.12.0)`.
+You can fix this by manually upgrading pip and virtualenv::
+
+    sudo pip install --upgrade virtualenv
+
+You can next rerun `virtualenv -p python3 synapse` to update the virtual env.
+
+Installing may fail during installing virtualenv with `InsecurePlatformWarning: A true SSLContext object is not available. This prevents urllib3 from configuring SSL appropriately and may cause certain SSL connections to fail. For more information, see https://urllib3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/security.html#insecureplatformwarning.`
+You can fix this  by manually installing ndg-httpsclient::
+
+    pip install --upgrade ndg-httpsclient
+
+Installing may fail with `mock requires setuptools>=17.1. Aborting installation`.
+You can fix this by upgrading setuptools::
+
+    pip install --upgrade setuptools
+
+If pip crashes mid-installation for reason (e.g. lost terminal), pip may
+refuse to run until you remove the temporary installation directory it
+created. To reset the installation::
+
+    rm -rf /tmp/pip_install_matrix
+
+pip seems to leak *lots* of memory during installation.  For instance, a Linux
+host with 512MB of RAM may run out of memory whilst installing Twisted.  If this
+happens, you will have to individually install the dependencies which are
+failing, e.g.::
