+## How to contribute
 
-# 1. Who can contribute to Synapse?
+The preferred and easiest way to contribute changes to Matrix is to fork the
+relevant project on github, and then [create a pull request](
+https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/) to ask us to pull
+your changes into our repo.
 
-Everyone is welcome to contribute code to [matrix.org
-projects](https://github.com/matrix-org), provided that they are willing to
-license their contributions under the same license as the project itself. We
-follow a simple 'inbound=outbound' model for contributions: the act of
-submitting an 'inbound' contribution means that the contributor agrees to
-license the code under the same terms as the project's overall 'outbound'
-license - in our case, this is almost always Apache Software License v2 (see
-[LICENSE](LICENSE)).
+**The single biggest thing you need to know is: please base your changes on
+the develop branch - *not* master.**
 
-# 2. What do I need?
+We use the master branch to track the most recent release, so that folks who
+blindly clone the repo and automatically check out master get something that
+works. Develop is the unstable branch where all the development actually
+happens: the workflow is that contributors should fork the develop branch to
+make a 'feature' branch for a particular contribution, and then make a pull
+request to merge this back into the matrix.org 'official' develop branch. We
+use github's pull request workflow to review the contribution, and either ask
+you to make any refinements needed or merge it and make them ourselves. The
+changes will then land on master when we next do a release.
 
-The code of Synapse is written in Python 3. To do pretty much anything, you'll need [a recent version of Python 3](https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download).
+We use [Buildkite](https://buildkite.com/matrix-dot-org/synapse) for continuous
+integration. If your change breaks the build, this will be shown in GitHub, so
+please keep an eye on the pull request for feedback.
 
-The source code of Synapse is hosted on GitHub. You will also need [a recent version of git](https://github.com/git-guides/install-git).
+To run unit tests in a local development environment, you can use:
 
-For some tests, you will need [a recent version of Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/).
+- ``tox -e py35`` (requires tox to be installed by ``pip install tox``)
+  for SQLite-backed Synapse on Python 3.5.
+- ``tox -e py36`` for SQLite-backed Synapse on Python 3.6.
+- ``tox -e py36-postgres`` for PostgreSQL-backed Synapse on Python 3.6
+  (requires a running local PostgreSQL with access to create databases).
+- ``./test_postgresql.sh`` for PostgreSQL-backed Synapse on Python 3.5
+  (requires Docker). Entirely self-contained, recommended if you don't want to
+  set up PostgreSQL yourself.
 
+Docker images are available for running the integration tests (SyTest) locally,
+see the [documentation in the SyTest repo](
+https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest/blob/develop/docker/README.md) for more
+information.
 
-# 3. Get the source.
+## Code style
 
-The preferred and easiest way to contribute changes is to fork the relevant
-project on GitHub, and then [create a pull request](
-https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/) to ask us to pull your
-changes into our repo.
+All Matrix projects have a well-defined code-style - and sometimes we've even
+got as far as documenting it... For instance, synapse's code style doc lives
+[here](docs/code_style.md).
 
-Please base your changes on the `develop` branch.
+To facilitate meeting these criteria you can run `scripts-dev/lint.sh`
+locally. Since this runs the tools listed in the above document, you'll need
+python 3.6 and to install each tool:
 
-```sh
-git clone git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_USER_NAME/synapse.git
-git checkout develop
 ```
+# Install the dependencies
+pip install -U black flake8 flake8-comprehensions isort
 
-If you need help getting started with git, this is beyond the scope of the document, but you
-can find many good git tutorials on the web.
-
-# 4. Install the dependencies
-
-## Under Unix (macOS, Linux, BSD, ...)
-
-Once you have installed Python 3 and added the source, please open a terminal and
-setup a *virtualenv*, as follows:
-
-```sh
-cd path/where/you/have/cloned/the/repository
-python3 -m venv ./env
-source ./env/bin/activate
-pip install -e ".[all,lint,mypy,test]"
-pip install tox
-```
-
-This will install the developer dependencies for the project.
-
-## Under Windows
-
-TBD
-
-
-# 5. Get in touch.
-
-Join our developer community on Matrix: #synapse-dev:matrix.org !
-
-
-# 6. Pick an issue.
-
-Fix your favorite problem or perhaps find a [Good First Issue](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22Good+First+Issue%22)
-to work on.
-
-
-# 7. Turn coffee and documentation into code and documentation!
-
-Synapse's code style is documented [here](docs/code_style.md). Please follow
-it, including the conventions for the [sample configuration
-file](docs/code_style.md#configuration-file-format).
-
-There is a growing amount of documentation located in the [docs](docs)
-directory. This documentation is intended primarily for sysadmins running their
-own Synapse instance, as well as developers interacting externally with
-Synapse. [docs/dev](docs/dev) exists primarily to house documentation for
-Synapse developers. [docs/admin_api](docs/admin_api) houses documentation
-regarding Synapse's Admin API, which is used mostly by sysadmins and external
-service developers.
-
-If you add new files added to either of these folders, please use [GitHub-Flavoured
-Markdown](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/).
-
-Some documentation also exists in [Synapse's GitHub
-Wiki](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/wiki), although this is primarily
-contributed to by community authors.
-
-
-# 8. Test, test, test!
-<a name="test-test-test"></a>
-
-While you're developing and before submitting a patch, you'll
-want to test your code.
-
-## Run the linters.
-
-The linters look at your code and do two things:
-
-- ensure that your code follows the coding style adopted by the project;
-- catch a number of errors in your code.
-
-They're pretty fast, don't hesitate!
-
-```sh
-source ./env/bin/activate
+# Run the linter script
 ./scripts-dev/lint.sh
 ```
 
-Note that this script *will modify your files* to fix styling errors.
-Make sure that you have saved all your files.
+**Note that the script does not just test/check, but also reformats code, so you
+may wish to ensure any new code is committed first**. By default this script
+checks all files and can take some time; if you alter only certain files, you
+might wish to specify paths as arguments to reduce the run-time:
 
-If you wish to restrict the linters to only the files changed since the last commit
-(much faster!), you can instead run:
-
-```sh
-source ./env/bin/activate
-./scripts-dev/lint.sh -d
 ```
-
-Or if you know exactly which files you wish to lint, you can instead run:
-
-```sh
-source ./env/bin/activate
 ./scripts-dev/lint.sh path/to/file1.py path/to/file2.py path/to/folder
 ```
 
-## Run the unit tests.
+Before pushing new changes, ensure they don't produce linting errors. Commit any
+files that were corrected.
 
-The unit tests run parts of Synapse, including your changes, to see if anything
-was broken. They are slower than the linters but will typically catch more errors.
-
-```sh
-source ./env/bin/activate
-trial tests
-```
-
-If you wish to only run *some* unit tests, you may specify
-another module instead of `tests` - or a test class or a method:
-
-```sh
-source ./env/bin/activate
-trial tests.rest.admin.test_room tests.handlers.test_admin.ExfiltrateData.test_invite
-```
-
-If your tests fail, you may wish to look at the logs:
-
-```sh
-less _trial_temp/test.log
-```
-
-## Run the integration tests.
-
-The integration tests are a more comprehensive suite of tests. They
-run a full version of Synapse, including your changes, to check if
-anything was broken. They are slower than the unit tests but will
-typically catch more errors.
-
-The following command will let you run the integration test with the most common
-configuration:
-
-```sh
-$ docker run --rm -it -v /path/where/you/have/cloned/the/repository\:/src:ro -v /path/to/where/you/want/logs\:/logs matrixdotorg/sytest-synapse:py37
-```
-
-This configuration should generally cover  your needs. For more details about other configurations, see [documentation in the SyTest repo](https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest/blob/develop/docker/README.md).
-
-
-# 9. Submit your patch.
-
-Once you're happy with your patch, it's time to prepare a Pull Request.
-
-To prepare a Pull Request, please:
-
-1. verify that [all the tests pass](#test-test-test), including the coding style;
-2. [sign off](#sign-off) your contribution;
-3. `git push` your commit to your fork of Synapse;
-4. on GitHub, [create the Pull Request](https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request);
-5. add a [changelog entry](#changelog) and push it to your Pull Request;
-6. for most contributors, that's all - however, if you are a member of the organization `matrix-org`, on GitHub, please request a review from `matrix.org / Synapse Core`.
+Please ensure your changes match the cosmetic style of the existing project,
+and **never** mix cosmetic and functional changes in the same commit, as it
+makes it horribly hard to review otherwise.

-
-Obviously, you don't know if you should call your newsfile

-
-There are two options for solving this:
-
- 1. Open the PR without a changelog file, see what number you got, and *then*
-    add the changelog file to your branch (see [Updating your pull

-
- 1. Look at the [list of all

+## Merge Strategy
 
-# 10. Turn feedback into better code.
+We use the commit history of develop/master extensively to identify
+when regressions were introduced and what changes have been made.
 
-Once the Pull Request is opened, you will see a few things:
+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.
 
-1. our automated CI (Continuous Integration) pipeline will run (again) the linters, the unit tests, the integration tests and more;
-2. one or more of the developers will take a look at your Pull Request and offer feedback.
+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.
 
-From this point, you should:
-
-1. Look at the results of the CI pipeline.
-   - If there is any error, fix the error.
-2. If a developer has requested changes, make these changes and let us know if it is ready for a developer to review again.
-3. Create a new commit with the changes.
-   - Please do NOT overwrite the history. New commits make the reviewer's life easier.
-   - Push this commits to your Pull Request.
-4. Back to 1.

-Once both the CI and the developers are happy, the patch will be merged into Synapse and released shortly!

-To be able to build Synapse's dependency on python the `WRKOBJDIR`

-Assuming `PORTS_PRIVSEP=Yes` (cf. `bsd.port.mk(5)`) and `SUDO=doas` are

-```sh
-doas chown _pbuild:_pbuild /usr/local/pobj_wxallowed
-```
+(XXX: I suspect this is out of date)
 
-Setting the `WRKOBJDIR` for building python:
+1. Create a new directory in `/usr/local` called `_synapse`. Also, create a
+   new user called `_synapse` and set that directory as the new user's home.
+   This is required because, by default, OpenBSD only allows binaries which need
+   write and execute permissions on the same memory space to be run from
+   `/usr/local`.
+2. `su` to the new `_synapse` user and change to their home directory.
+3. Create a new virtualenv: `virtualenv -p python3 ~/.synapse`
+4. Source the virtualenv configuration located at
+   `/usr/local/_synapse/.synapse/bin/activate`. This is done in `ksh` by
+   using the `.` command, rather than `bash`'s `source`.
+5. Optionally, use `pip` to install `lxml`, which Synapse needs to parse
+   webpages for their titles.
+6. Use `pip` to install this repository: `pip install matrix-synapse`
+7. Optionally, change `_synapse`'s shell to `/bin/false` to reduce the
+   chance of a compromised Synapse server being used to take over your box.
 
-```sh
-echo WRKOBJDIR_lang/python/3.7=/usr/local/pobj_wxallowed  \\nWRKOBJDIR_lang/python/2.7=/usr/local/pobj_wxallowed >> /etc/mk.conf

+Using PostgreSQL
+================
+
+Synapse offers two database engines:

+ * `PostgreSQL <https://www.postgresql.org>`_
+
+By default Synapse uses SQLite in and doing so trades performance for convenience.
+SQLite is only recommended in Synapse for testing purposes or for servers with
+light workloads.
+
+Almost all installations should opt to use PostreSQL. Advantages include:

+* allowing the DB to be run on separate hardware
+* allowing basic active/backup high-availability with a "hot spare" synapse

-====================
-
-Requirement for X-Forwarded-Proto header
-----------------------------------------
-
-When using Synapse with a reverse proxy (in particular, when using the
-`x_forwarded` option on an HTTP listener), Synapse now expects to receive an
-`X-Forwarded-Proto` header on incoming HTTP requests. If it is not set, Synapse
-will log a warning on each received request.
-
-To avoid the warning, administrators using a reverse proxy should ensure that
-the reverse proxy sets `X-Forwarded-Proto` header to `https` or `http` to
-indicate the protocol used by the client.
-
-Synapse also requires the `Host` header to be preserved.
-
-See the `reverse proxy documentation <docs/reverse_proxy.md>`_, where the
-example configurations have been updated to show how to set these headers.
-
-(Users of `Caddy <https://caddyserver.com/>`_ are unaffected, since we believe it
-sets `X-Forwarded-Proto` by default.)
-
-Upgrading to v1.27.0
-====================
-
-Changes to callback URI for OAuth2 / OpenID Connect and SAML2
--------------------------------------------------------------
-
-This version changes the URI used for callbacks from OAuth2 and SAML2 identity providers:
-
-* If your server is configured for single sign-on via an OpenID Connect or OAuth2 identity
-  provider, you will need to add ``[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/callback``
-  to the list of permitted "redirect URIs" at the identity provider.
-
-  See `docs/openid.md <docs/openid.md>`_ for more information on setting up OpenID
-  Connect.
-
-* If your server is configured for single sign-on via a SAML2 identity provider, you will
-  need to add ``[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/saml2/authn_response`` as a permitted
-  "ACS location" (also known as "allowed callback URLs") at the identity provider.
-
-  The "Issuer" in the "AuthnRequest" to the SAML2 identity provider is also updated to
-  ``[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/saml2/metadata.xml``. If your SAML2 identity
-  provider uses this property to validate or otherwise identify Synapse, its configuration
-  will need to be updated to use the new URL. Alternatively you could create a new, separate
-  "EntityDescriptor" in your SAML2 identity provider with the new URLs and leave the URLs in
-  the existing "EntityDescriptor" as they were.
-
-Changes to HTML templates
--------------------------
-
-The HTML templates for SSO and email notifications now have `Jinja2's autoescape <https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/2.11.x/api/#autoescaping>`_
-enabled for files ending in ``.html``, ``.htm``, and ``.xml``. If you have customised
-these templates and see issues when viewing them you might need to update them.
-It is expected that most configurations will need no changes.
-
-If you have customised the templates *names* for these templates, it is recommended
-to verify they end in ``.html`` to ensure autoescape is enabled.
-
-The above applies to the following templates:
-
-* ``add_threepid.html``
-* ``add_threepid_failure.html``
-* ``add_threepid_success.html``
-* ``notice_expiry.html``
-* ``notice_expiry.html``
-* ``notif_mail.html`` (which, by default, includes ``room.html`` and ``notif.html``)
-* ``password_reset.html``
-* ``password_reset_confirmation.html``
-* ``password_reset_failure.html``
-* ``password_reset_success.html``
-* ``registration.html``
-* ``registration_failure.html``
-* ``registration_success.html``

-
-Upgrading to v1.26.0
-====================
-
-Rolling back to v1.25.0 after a failed upgrade
-----------------------------------------------
-
-v1.26.0 includes a lot of large changes. If something problematic occurs, you
-may want to roll-back to a previous version of Synapse. Because v1.26.0 also
-includes a new database schema version, reverting that version is also required
-alongside the generic rollback instructions mentioned above. In short, to roll
-back to v1.25.0 you need to:
-
-1. Stop the server
-2. Decrease the schema version in the database:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      UPDATE schema_version SET version = 58;
-
-3. Delete the ignored users & chain cover data:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ignored_users;
-      UPDATE rooms SET has_auth_chain_index = false;
-
-   For PostgreSQL run:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      TRUNCATE event_auth_chain_links;
-      TRUNCATE event_auth_chains;
-
-   For SQLite run:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      DELETE FROM event_auth_chain_links;
-      DELETE FROM event_auth_chains;
-
-4. Mark the deltas as not run (so they will re-run on upgrade).
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      DELETE FROM applied_schema_deltas WHERE version = 59 AND file = "59/01ignored_user.py";
-      DELETE FROM applied_schema_deltas WHERE version = 59 AND file = "59/06chain_cover_index.sql";
-
-5. Downgrade Synapse by following the instructions for your installation method
-   in the "Rolling back to older versions" section above.
-
-Upgrading to v1.25.0
-====================
-
-Last release supporting Python 3.5
-----------------------------------
-
-This is the last release of Synapse which guarantees support with Python 3.5,
-which passed its upstream End of Life date several months ago.
-
-We will attempt to maintain support through March 2021, but without guarantees.
-
-In the future, Synapse will follow upstream schedules for ending support of
-older versions of Python and PostgreSQL. Please upgrade to at least Python 3.6
-and PostgreSQL 9.6 as soon as possible.
-
-Blacklisting IP ranges
-----------------------
-
-Synapse v1.25.0 includes new settings, ``ip_range_blacklist`` and
-``ip_range_whitelist``, for controlling outgoing requests from Synapse for federation,
-identity servers, push, and for checking key validity for third-party invite events.
-The previous setting, ``federation_ip_range_blacklist``, is deprecated. The new
-``ip_range_blacklist`` defaults to private IP ranges if it is not defined.
-
-If you have never customised ``federation_ip_range_blacklist`` it is recommended
-that you remove that setting.
-
-If you have customised ``federation_ip_range_blacklist`` you should update the
-setting name to ``ip_range_blacklist``.
-
-If you have a custom push server that is reached via private IP space you may
-need to customise ``ip_range_blacklist`` or ``ip_range_whitelist``.
-
-Upgrading to v1.24.0
-====================
-
-Custom OpenID Connect mapping provider breaking change
-------------------------------------------------------
-
-This release allows the OpenID Connect mapping provider to perform normalisation
-of the localpart of the Matrix ID. This allows for the mapping provider to
-specify different algorithms, instead of the [default way](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/appendices#mapping-from-other-character-sets).
-
-If your Synapse configuration uses a custom mapping provider
-(`oidc_config.user_mapping_provider.module` is specified and not equal to
-`synapse.handlers.oidc_handler.JinjaOidcMappingProvider`) then you *must* ensure
-that `map_user_attributes` of the mapping provider performs some normalisation
-of the `localpart` returned. To match previous behaviour you can use the
-`map_username_to_mxid_localpart` function provided by Synapse. An example is
-shown below:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-  from synapse.types import map_username_to_mxid_localpart
-
-  class MyMappingProvider:
-      def map_user_attributes(self, userinfo, token):
-          # ... your custom logic ...
-          sso_user_id = ...
-          localpart = map_username_to_mxid_localpart(sso_user_id)
-
-          return {"localpart": localpart}
-
-Removal historical Synapse Admin API
-------------------------------------
-
-Historically, the Synapse Admin API has been accessible under:
-
-* ``/_matrix/client/api/v1/admin``
-* ``/_matrix/client/unstable/admin``
-* ``/_matrix/client/r0/admin``
-* ``/_synapse/admin/v1``
-
-The endpoints with ``/_matrix/client/*`` prefixes have been removed as of v1.24.0.
-The Admin API is now only accessible under:
-
-* ``/_synapse/admin/v1``
-
-The only exception is the `/admin/whois` endpoint, which is
-`also available via the client-server API <https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#get-matrix-client-r0-admin-whois-userid>`_.
-
-The deprecation of the old endpoints was announced with Synapse 1.20.0 (released
-on 2020-09-22) and makes it easier for homeserver admins to lock down external
-access to the Admin API endpoints.
-
-Upgrading to v1.23.0
-====================
-
-Structured logging configuration breaking changes
--------------------------------------------------
-
-This release deprecates use of the ``structured: true`` logging configuration for
-structured logging. If your logging configuration contains ``structured: true``
-then it should be modified based on the `structured logging documentation
-<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/structured_logging.md>`_.
-
-The ``structured`` and ``drains`` logging options are now deprecated and should
-be replaced by standard logging configuration of ``handlers`` and ``formatters``.
-
-A future will release of Synapse will make using ``structured: true`` an error.
-
-Upgrading to v1.22.0
-====================
-
-ThirdPartyEventRules breaking changes
--------------------------------------
-
-This release introduces a backwards-incompatible change to modules making use of
-``ThirdPartyEventRules`` in Synapse. If you make use of a module defined under the
-``third_party_event_rules`` config option, please make sure it is updated to handle
-the below change:
-
-The ``http_client`` argument is no longer passed to modules as they are initialised. Instead,
-modules are expected to make use of the ``http_client`` property on the ``ModuleApi`` class.
-Modules are now passed a ``module_api`` argument during initialisation, which is an instance of
-``ModuleApi``. ``ModuleApi`` instances have a ``http_client`` property which acts the same as
-the ``http_client`` argument previously passed to ``ThirdPartyEventRules`` modules.
-
-Upgrading to v1.21.0
-====================
-
-Forwarding ``/_synapse/client`` through your reverse proxy
-----------------------------------------------------------
-
-The `reverse proxy documentation
-<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/reverse_proxy.md>`_ has been updated
-to include reverse proxy directives for ``/_synapse/client/*`` endpoints. As the user password
-reset flow now uses endpoints under this prefix, **you must update your reverse proxy
-configurations for user password reset to work**.
-
-Additionally, note that the `Synapse worker documentation
-<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/workers.md>`_ has been updated to
- state that the ``/_synapse/client/password_reset/email/submit_token`` endpoint can be handled
-by all workers. If you make use of Synapse's worker feature, please update your reverse proxy
-configuration to reflect this change.
-
-New HTML templates
-------------------
-
-A new HTML template,
-`password_reset_confirmation.html <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/synapse/res/templates/password_reset_confirmation.html>`_,
-has been added to the ``synapse/res/templates`` directory. If you are using a
-custom template directory, you may want to copy the template over and modify it.
-
-Note that as of v1.20.0, templates do not need to be included in custom template
-directories for Synapse to start. The default templates will be used if a custom
-template cannot be found.
-
-This page will appear to the user after clicking a password reset link that has
-been emailed to them.
-
-To complete password reset, the page must include a way to make a `POST`
-request to
-``/_synapse/client/password_reset/{medium}/submit_token``
-with the query parameters from the original link, presented as a URL-encoded form. See the file
-itself for more details.
-
-Updated Single Sign-on HTML Templates
--------------------------------------
-
-The ``saml_error.html`` template was removed from Synapse and replaced with the
-``sso_error.html`` template. If your Synapse is configured to use SAML and a
-custom ``sso_redirect_confirm_template_dir`` configuration then any customisations
-of the ``saml_error.html`` template will need to be merged into the ``sso_error.html``
-template. These templates are similar, but the parameters are slightly different:
-
-* The ``msg`` parameter should be renamed to ``error_description``.
-* There is no longer a ``code`` parameter for the response code.
-* A string ``error`` parameter is available that includes a short hint of why a
-  user is seeing the error page.
-
-Upgrading to v1.18.0
-====================
-
-Docker `-py3` suffix will be removed in future versions
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-From 10th August 2020, we will no longer publish Docker images with the `-py3` tag suffix. The images tagged with the `-py3` suffix have been identical to the non-suffixed tags since release 0.99.0, and the suffix is obsolete.

-On 10th August, we will remove the `latest-py3` tag. Existing per-release tags (such as `v1.18.0-py3`) will not be removed, but no new `-py3` tags will be added.
-
-Scripts relying on the `-py3` suffix will need to be updated.
-
-Redis replication is now recommended in lieu of TCP replication
----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-When setting up worker processes, we now recommend the use of a Redis server for replication. **The old direct TCP connection method is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.**
-See `docs/workers.md <docs/workers.md>`_ for more details.
-
-Upgrading to v1.14.0
-====================
-
-This version includes a database update which is run as part of the upgrade,
-and which may take a couple of minutes in the case of a large server. Synapse
-will not respond to HTTP requests while this update is taking place.

 ## ENVIRONMENT
 
   * `SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR`:
-    Synapse's architecture is quite RAM hungry currently - we deliberately
-    cache a lot of recent room data and metadata in RAM in order to speed up
-    common requests. We'll improve this in the future, but for now the easiest
-    way to either reduce the RAM usage (at the risk of slowing things down)
-    is to set the almost-undocumented ``SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR`` environment
-    variable. The default is 0.5, which can be decreased to reduce RAM usage
-    in memory constrained enviroments, or increased if performance starts to
-    degrade.
-
-    However, degraded performance due to a low cache factor, common on
-    machines with slow disks, often leads to explosions in memory use due
-    backlogged requests. In this case, reducing the cache factor will make
-    things worse. Instead, try increasing it drastically. 2.0 is a good
-    starting value.
+    Synapse's architecture is quite RAM hungry currently - a lot of
+    recent room data and metadata is deliberately cached in RAM in
+    order to speed up common requests.  This will be improved in
+    future, but for now the easiest way to either reduce the RAM usage
+    (at the risk of slowing things down) is to set the
+    SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR environment variable. Roughly speaking, a
+    SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR of 1.0 will max out at around 3-4GB of
+    resident memory - this is what we currently run the matrix.org
+    on. The default setting is currently 0.1, which is probably around
+    a ~700MB footprint. You can dial it down further to 0.02 if
+    desired, which targets roughly ~512MB. Conversely you can dial it
+    up if you need performance for lots of users and have a box with a
+    lot of RAM.
