+Changes in synapse v0.8.0 (2015-03-06)
+======================================
+
+General:
+
+* Add support for registration fallback. This is a page hosted on the server
+  which allows a user to register for an account, regardless of what client
+  they are using (e.g. mobile devices).
+
+* Added new default push rules and made them configurable by clients:
+
+  * Suppress all notice messages.
+  * Notify when invited to a new room.
+  * Notify for messages that don't match any rule.
+  * Notify on incoming call.
+
+Federation:
+
+* Added per host server side rate-limiting of incoming federation requests.
+* Added a ``/get_missing_events/`` API to federation to reduce number of
+  ``/events/`` requests.
+
+Configuration:
+
+* Added configuration option to disable registration:
+  ``disable_registration``.
+* Added configuration option to change soft limit of number of open file
+  descriptors: ``soft_file_limit``.
+* Make ``tls_private_key_path`` optional when running with ``no_tls``.
+
+Application services:
+
+* Application services can now poll on the CS API ``/events`` for their events,
+  by providing their application service ``access_token``.
+* Added exclusive namespace support to application services API.
+
+
+Changes in synapse v0.7.1 (2015-02-19)
+======================================
+
+* Initial alpha implementation of parts of the Application Services API.
+  Including:
+
+  - AS Registration / Unregistration
+  - User Query API
+  - Room Alias Query API
+  - Push transport for receiving events.
+  - User/Alias namespace admin control
+
+* Add cache when fetching events from remote servers to stop repeatedly
+  fetching events with bad signatures.
+* Respect the per remote server retry scheme when fetching both events and
+  server keys to reduce the number of times we send requests to dead servers.
+* Inform remote servers when the local server fails to handle a received event.
+* Turn off python bytecode generation due to problems experienced when
+  upgrading from previous versions.
+
+Changes in synapse v0.7.0 (2015-02-12)
+======================================
+
+* Add initial implementation of the query auth federation API, allowing
+  servers to agree on whether an event should be allowed or rejected.
+* Persist events we have rejected from federation, fixing the bug where
+  servers would keep requesting the same events.
+* Various federation performance improvements, including:
+
+  - Add in memory caches on queries such as:
+
+     * Computing the state of a room at a point in time, used for
+       authorization on federation requests.
+     * Fetching events from the database.
+     * User's room membership, used for authorizing presence updates.
+
+  - Upgraded JSON library to improve parsing and serialisation speeds.
+
+* Add default avatars to new user accounts using pydenticon library.
+* Correctly time out federation requests.
+* Retry federation requests against different servers.
+* Add support for push and push rules.
+* Add alpha versions of proposed new CSv2 APIs, including ``/sync`` API.
+
+Changes in synapse 0.6.1 (2015-01-07)
+=====================================
+
+* Major optimizations to improve performance of initial sync and event sending
+  in large rooms (by up to 10x)
+* Media repository now includes a Content-Length header on media downloads.
+* Improve quality of thumbnails by changing resizing algorithm.
+
+Changes in synapse 0.6.0 (2014-12-16)
+=====================================
+
+* Add new API for media upload and download that supports thumbnailing.
+* Replicate media uploads over multiple homeservers so media is always served
+  to clients from their local homeserver.  This obsoletes the
+  --content-addr parameter and confusion over accessing content directly
+  from remote homeservers.
+* Implement exponential backoff when retrying federation requests when
+  sending to remote homeservers which are offline.
+* Implement typing notifications.
+* Fix bugs where we sent events with invalid signatures due to bugs where
+  we incorrectly persisted events.
+* Improve performance of database queries involving retrieving events.
+
+Changes in synapse 0.5.4a (2014-12-13)
+======================================
+
+* Fix bug while generating the error message when a file path specified in
+  the config doesn't exist.
+
+Changes in synapse 0.5.4 (2014-12-03)
+=====================================
+
+* Fix presence bug where some rooms did not display presence updates for
+  remote users.
+* Do not log SQL timing log lines when started with "-v"
+* Fix potential memory leak.
+
+Changes in synapse 0.5.3c (2014-12-02)
+======================================
+
+* Change the default value for the `content_addr` option to use the HTTP
+  listener, as by default the HTTPS listener will be using a self-signed
+  certificate.
+
+Changes in synapse 0.5.3 (2014-11-27)
+=====================================
+
+* Fix bug that caused joining a remote room to fail if a single event was not
+  signed correctly.
+* Fix bug which caused servers to continuously try and fetch events from other
+  servers.
+
+Changes in synapse 0.5.2 (2014-11-26)
+=====================================
+
+Fix major bug that caused rooms to disappear from peoples initial sync.

+=====================================
+This release includes changes to the federation protocol and client-server API
+that is not backwards compatible.
+
+The Matrix specification has been moved to a separate git repository:
+http://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc
+
+You will also need an updated syutil and config. See UPGRADES.rst.
+
+Homeserver:
+ * Sign federation transactions to assert strong identity over federation.
+ * Rename timestamp keys in PDUs and events from 'ts' and 'hsob_ts' to 'origin_server_ts'.
+

+
+Homeserver:
+ * Fix bug where you continued to get events for rooms you had left.
+
+Webclient:
+ * Add support for video calls with basic UI.

+ * Fix a regression where we didn't immediately remove rooms you were
+   banned in from the recents list.
+
+Changes in synapse 0.3.0 (2014-09-18)
+=====================================
+See UPGRADE for information about changes to the client server API, including
+breaking backwards compatibility with VoIP calls and registration API.
+
+Homeserver:
+ * When a user changes their displayname or avatar the server will now update 
+   all their join states to reflect this.
+ * The server now adds "age" key to events to indicate how old they are. This
+   is clock independent, so at no point does any server or webclient have to
+   assume their clock is in sync with everyone else.
+ * Fix bug where we didn't correctly pull in missing PDUs.
+ * Fix bug where prev_content key wasn't always returned.
+ * Add support for password resets.

+
+Registration API:
+ * The registration API has been overhauled to function like the login API. In
+   practice, this means registration requests must now include the following:
+   'type':'m.login.password'. See UPGRADE for more information on this.
+ * The 'user_id' key has been renamed to 'user' to better match the login API.
+ * There is an additional login type: 'm.login.email.identity'.
+ * The command client and web client have been updated to reflect these changes.
+
+Changes in synapse 0.2.3 (2014-09-12)
+=====================================

-Contributing code to Matrix
-===========================
-
-Everyone is welcome to contribute code to Matrix
-(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).
-
-How to contribute
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The preferred and easiest way to contribute changes to Matrix is to fork the
-relevant project on github, and then create a pull request to ask us to pull
-your changes into our repo
-(https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/)
-
-**The single biggest thing you need to know is: please base your changes on
-the develop branch - /not/ master.**
-
-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.
-
-We use `CircleCI <https://circleci.com/gh/matrix-org>`_ and `Travis CI
-<https://travis-ci.org/matrix-org/synapse>`_ for continuous integration. All
-pull requests to synapse get automatically tested by Travis and CircleCI.
-If your change breaks the build, this will be shown in GitHub, so please
-keep an eye on the pull request for feedback.
-
-To run unit tests in a local development environment, you can use:
-
-- ``tox -e py27`` (requires tox to be installed by ``pip install tox``) for
-  SQLite-backed Synapse on Python 2.7.
-- ``tox -e py35`` for SQLite-backed Synapse on Python 3.5.
-- ``tox -e py36`` for SQLite-backed Synapse on Python 3.6.
-- ``tox -e py27-postgres`` for PostgreSQL-backed Synapse on Python 2.7
-  (requires a running local PostgreSQL with access to create databases).
-- ``./test_postgresql.sh`` for PostgreSQL-backed Synapse on Python 2.7
-  (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.
-
-Code style
-~~~~~~~~~~
-
-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
-at https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/docs/code_style.rst.
-
-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.
-
-Changelog
-~~~~~~~~~
-
-All changes, even minor ones, need a corresponding changelog / newsfragment
-entry. These are managed by Towncrier
-(https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier).
-
-To create a changelog entry, make a new file in the ``changelog.d``
-file named in the format of ``PRnumber.type``. The type can be
-one of ``feature``, ``bugfix``, ``removal`` (also used for
-deprecations), or ``misc`` (for internal-only changes).
-
-The content of the file is your changelog entry, which can contain Markdown
-formatting. The entry should end with a full stop ('.') for consistency.
-
-Adding credits to the changelog is encouraged, we value your
-contributions and would like to have you shouted out in the release notes!
-
-For example, a fix in PR #1234 would have its changelog entry in
-``changelog.d/1234.bugfix``, and contain content like "The security levels of
-Florbs are now validated when recieved over federation. Contributed by Jane
-Matrix.".
-
-Debian changelog
-----------------
-
-Changes which affect the debian packaging files (in ``debian``) are an
-exception.
-
-In this case, you will need to add an entry to the debian changelog for the
-next release. For this, run the following command::
-
-  dch
-
-This will make up a new version number (if there isn't already an unreleased
-version in flight), and open an editor where you can add a new changelog entry.
-(Our release process will ensure that the version number and maintainer name is
-corrected for the release.)
-
-If your change affects both the debian packaging *and* files outside the debian
-directory, you will need both a regular newsfragment *and* an entry in the
-debian changelog. (Though typically such changes should be submitted as two
-separate pull requests.)

-# Installing Synapse
-
-## Installing from source
-
-(Prebuilt packages are available for some platforms - see [Prebuilt packages](#prebuilt-packages).)
-
-System requirements:
-
-- POSIX-compliant system (tested on Linux & OS X)
-- Python 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, or 2.7
-- At least 1GB of free RAM if you want to join large public rooms like #matrix:matrix.org
-
-Synapse is written in Python but some of the libraries it uses are written in
-C. So before we can install Synapse itself we need a working C compiler and the
-header files for Python C extensions. See [Platform-Specific
-Instructions](#platform-specific-instructions) for information on installing
-these on various platforms.
-
-To install the Synapse homeserver run:
-
-```
-mkdir -p ~/synapse
-virtualenv -p python3 ~/synapse/env
-source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate
-pip install --upgrade pip
-pip install --upgrade setuptools
-pip install matrix-synapse[all]
-```
-
-This will download Synapse from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/matrix-synapse)
-and install it, along with the python libraries it uses, into a virtual environment
-under `~/synapse/env`.  Feel free to pick a different directory if you
-prefer.
-
-This Synapse installation can then be later upgraded by using pip again with the
-update flag:
-
-```
-source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate
-pip install -U matrix-synapse[all]
-```
-
-Before you can start Synapse, you will need to generate a configuration
-file. To do this, run (in your virtualenv, as before)::
-
-```
-cd ~/synapse
-python -m synapse.app.homeserver \
-    --server-name my.domain.name \
-    --config-path homeserver.yaml \
-    --generate-config \
-    --report-stats=[yes|no]
-```
-
-... substituting an appropriate value for `--server-name`. The server name
-determines the "domain" part of user-ids for users on your server: these will
-all be of the format `@user:my.domain.name`. It also determines how other
-matrix servers will reach yours for Federation. For a test configuration,
-set this to the hostname of your server. For a more production-ready setup, you
-will probably want to specify your domain (`example.com`) rather than a
-matrix-specific hostname here (in the same way that your email address is
-probably `user@example.com` rather than `user@email.example.com`) - but
-doing so may require more advanced setup: see [Setting up Federation](docs/federate.md).
-Beware that the server name cannot be changed later.
-
-This command will generate you a config file that you can then customise, but it will
-also generate a set of keys for you. These keys will allow your Home Server to
-identify itself to other Home Servers, so don't lose or delete them. It would be
-wise to back them up somewhere safe. (If, for whatever reason, you do need to
-change your Home Server's keys, you may find that other Home Servers have the
-old key cached. If you update the signing key, you should change the name of the
-key in the `<server name>.signing.key` file (the second word) to something
-different. See the
-[spec](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/server_server/latest.html#retrieving-server-keys)
-for more information on key management.)
-
-You will need to give Synapse a TLS certficate before it will start - see [TLS
-certificates](#tls-certificates).
-
-To actually run your new homeserver, pick a working directory for Synapse to
-run (e.g. `~/synapse`), and::
-
-    cd ~/synapse
-    source env/bin/activate
-    synctl start
-
-### Platform-Specific Instructions
-
-#### Debian/Ubuntu/Raspbian
-
-Installing prerequisites on Ubuntu or Debian:
-
-```
-sudo apt-get install build-essential python3-dev libffi-dev \
-                     python-pip python-setuptools sqlite3 \
-                     libssl-dev python-virtualenv libjpeg-dev libxslt1-dev
-```
-
-#### ArchLinux
-
-Installing prerequisites on ArchLinux:
-
-```
-sudo pacman -S base-devel python python-pip \
-               python-setuptools python-virtualenv sqlite3
-```
-
-#### CentOS/Fedora
-
-Installing prerequisites on CentOS 7 or Fedora 25:
-
-```
-sudo yum install libtiff-devel libjpeg-devel libzip-devel freetype-devel \
-                 lcms2-devel libwebp-devel tcl-devel tk-devel redhat-rpm-config \
-                 python-virtualenv libffi-devel openssl-devel
-sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
-```
-
-#### Mac OS X
-
-Installing prerequisites on Mac OS X:
-
-```
-xcode-select --install
-sudo easy_install pip
-sudo pip install virtualenv
-brew install pkg-config libffi
-```
-
-#### OpenSUSE
-
-Installing prerequisites on openSUSE:
-
-```
-sudo zypper in -t pattern devel_basis
-sudo zypper in python-pip python-setuptools sqlite3 python-virtualenv \
-               python-devel libffi-devel libopenssl-devel libjpeg62-devel
-```
-
-#### OpenBSD
-
-Installing prerequisites on OpenBSD:
-
-```
-doas pkg_add python libffi py-pip py-setuptools sqlite3 py-virtualenv \
-              libxslt jpeg
-```
-
-There is currently no port for OpenBSD. Additionally, OpenBSD's security
-settings require a slightly more difficult installation process.
-
-XXX: I suspect this is out of date.
-
-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 python2.7 ~/.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.
-
-After this, you may proceed with the rest of the install directions.
-
-#### Windows
-
-If you wish to run or develop Synapse on Windows, the Windows Subsystem For
-Linux provides a Linux environment on Windows 10 which is capable of using the
-Debian, Fedora, or source installation methods. More information about WSL can
-be found at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10 for
-Windows 10 and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-on-server
-for Windows Server.
-
-### 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.::
-
-    pip install twisted
-
-## Prebuilt packages
-
-As an alternative to installing from source, prebuilt packages are available
-for a number of platforms.
-
-### Docker images and Ansible playbooks
-
-There is an offical synapse image available at
-https://hub.docker.com/r/matrixdotorg/synapse which can be used with
-the docker-compose file available at [contrib/docker](contrib/docker). Further information on
-this including configuration options is available in the README on
-hub.docker.com.
-
-Alternatively, Andreas Peters (previously Silvio Fricke) has contributed a
-Dockerfile to automate a synapse server in a single Docker image, at
-https://hub.docker.com/r/avhost/docker-matrix/tags/
-
-Slavi Pantaleev has created an Ansible playbook,
-which installs the offical Docker image of Matrix Synapse
-along with many other Matrix-related services (Postgres database, riot-web, coturn, mxisd, SSL support, etc.).
-For more details, see
-https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy
-
-
-### Debian/Ubuntu
-
-#### Matrix.org packages
-
-Matrix.org provides Debian/Ubuntu packages of the latest stable version of
-Synapse via https://matrix.org/packages/debian/. To use them:
-
-```
-sudo apt install -y lsb-release curl apt-transport-https
-echo "deb https://matrix.org/packages/debian `lsb_release -cs` main" |
-    sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/matrix-org.list
-curl "https://matrix.org/packages/debian/repo-key.asc" |
-    sudo apt-key add -
-sudo apt update
-sudo apt install matrix-synapse-py3
-```
-
-#### Downstream Debian/Ubuntu packages
-
-For `buster` and `sid`, Synapse is available in the Debian repositories and
-it should be possible to install it with simply:
-
-```
-    sudo apt install matrix-synapse
-```
-
-There is also a version of `matrix-synapse` in `stretch-backports`. Please see
-the [Debian documentation on
-backports](https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/) for information on how
-to use them.
-
-We do not recommend using the packages in downstream Ubuntu at this time, as
-they are old and suffer from known security vulnerabilities.
-
-### Fedora
-
-Synapse is in the Fedora repositories as `matrix-synapse`:
-
-```
-sudo dnf install matrix-synapse
-```
-
-Oleg Girko provides Fedora RPMs at
-https://obs.infoserver.lv/project/monitor/matrix-synapse
-
-### OpenSUSE
-
-Synapse is in the OpenSUSE repositories as `matrix-synapse`:
-
-```
-sudo zypper install matrix-synapse
-```
-
-### SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
-
-Unofficial package are built for SLES 15 in the openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15 repository at
-https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Backports:/SLE-15/standard/
-
-### ArchLinux
-
-The quickest way to get up and running with ArchLinux is probably with the community package
-https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/matrix-synapse/, which should pull in most of
-the necessary dependencies.
-
-pip may be outdated (6.0.7-1 and needs to be upgraded to 6.0.8-1 ):
-
-```
-sudo pip install --upgrade pip
-```
-
-If you encounter an error with lib bcrypt causing an Wrong ELF Class:
-ELFCLASS32 (x64 Systems), you may need to reinstall py-bcrypt to correctly
-compile it under the right architecture. (This should not be needed if
-installing under virtualenv):
-
-```
-sudo pip uninstall py-bcrypt
-sudo pip install py-bcrypt
-```
-
-### FreeBSD
-
-Synapse can be installed via FreeBSD Ports or Packages contributed by Brendan Molloy from:
-
- - Ports: `cd /usr/ports/net-im/py-matrix-synapse && make install clean`
- - Packages: `pkg install py27-matrix-synapse`
-
-
-### NixOS
-
-Robin Lambertz has packaged Synapse for NixOS at:
-https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/misc/matrix-synapse.nix
-
-# Setting up Synapse
-
-Once you have installed synapse as above, you will need to configure it.
-
-## TLS certificates
-
-The default configuration exposes a single HTTP port: http://localhost:8008. It
-is suitable for local testing, but for any practical use, you will either need
-to enable a reverse proxy, or configure Synapse to expose an HTTPS port.
-
-For information on using a reverse proxy, see
-[docs/reverse_proxy.rst](docs/reverse_proxy.rst).
-
-To configure Synapse to expose an HTTPS port, you will need to edit
-`homeserver.yaml`, as follows:
-
-* First, under the `listeners` section, uncomment the configuration for the
-  TLS-enabled listener. (Remove the hash sign (`#`) at the start of
-  each line). The relevant lines are like this:
-
-  ```
-    - port: 8448
-      type: http
-      tls: true
-      resources:
-        - names: [client, federation]
-  ```
-* You will also need to uncomment the `tls_certificate_path` and
-  `tls_private_key_path` lines under the `TLS` section. You can either
-  point these settings at an existing certificate and key, or you can
-  enable Synapse's built-in ACME (Let's Encrypt) support. Instructions
-  for having Synapse automatically provision and renew federation
-  certificates through ACME can be found at [ACME.md](docs/ACME.md). If you
-  are using your own certificate, be sure to use a `.pem` file that includes
-  the full certificate chain including any intermediate certificates (for
-  instance, if using certbot, use `fullchain.pem` as your certificate, not
-  `cert.pem`).
-
-For those of you upgrading your TLS certificate in readiness for Synapse 1.0,
-please take a look at `our guide <docs/MSC1711_certificates_FAQ.md#configuring-certificates-for-compatibility-with-synapse-100>`_.
-
-## Registering a user
-
-You will need at least one user on your server in order to use a Matrix
-client. Users can be registered either via a Matrix client, or via a
-commandline script.
-
-To get started, it is easiest to use the command line to register new
-users. This can be done as follows:
-
-```
-$ source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate
-$ synctl start # if not already running
-$ register_new_matrix_user -c homeserver.yaml http://localhost:8008
-New user localpart: erikj
-Password:
-Confirm password:
-Make admin [no]:
-Success!
-```
-
-This process uses a setting `registration_shared_secret` in
-`homeserver.yaml`, which is shared between Synapse itself and the
-`register_new_matrix_user` script. It doesn't matter what it is (a random
-value is generated by `--generate-config`), but it should be kept secret, as
-anyone with knowledge of it can register users, including admin accounts,
-on your server even if `enable_registration` is `false`.
-
-## Setting up a TURN server
-
-For reliable VoIP calls to be routed via this homeserver, you MUST configure
-a TURN server.  See [docs/turn-howto.rst](docs/turn-howto.rst) for details.
-
-## URL previews
-
-Synapse includes support for previewing URLs, which is disabled by default.  To
-turn it on you must enable the `url_preview_enabled: True` config parameter
-and explicitly specify the IP ranges that Synapse is not allowed to spider for
-previewing in the `url_preview_ip_range_blacklist` configuration parameter.
-This is critical from a security perspective to stop arbitrary Matrix users
-spidering 'internal' URLs on your network.  At the very least we recommend that
-your loopback and RFC1918 IP addresses are blacklisted.
-
-This also requires the optional lxml and netaddr python dependencies to be
-installed.  This in turn requires the libxml2 library to be available - on
-Debian/Ubuntu this means `apt-get install libxml2-dev`, or equivalent for
-your OS.

+Homeserver Installation
+=======================
 
-Synapse Installation
-====================
+System requirements:
+- POSIX-compliant system (tested on Linux & OSX)
+- Python 2.7
 
-.. _federation:
+Synapse is written in python but some of the libraries is uses are written in
+C. So before we can install synapse itself we need a working C compiler and the
+header files for python C extensions.
 
-* For details on how to install synapse, see `<INSTALL.md>`_.
-* For specific details on how to configure Synapse for federation see `docs/federate.md <docs/federate.md>`_
+Installing prerequisites on Ubuntu or Debian::
 
+    $ sudo apt-get install build-essential python2.7-dev libffi-dev \
+                           python-pip python-setuptools sqlite3 \
+                           libssl-dev python-virtualenv libjpeg-dev
+                           
+Installing prerequisites on ArchLinux::
 
-Connecting to Synapse from a client
-===================================
+    $ sudo pacman -S base-devel python2 python-pip \
+                     python-setuptools python-virtualenv sqlite3
 
-The easiest way to try out your new Synapse installation is by connecting to it
-from a web client.
+Installing prerequisites on Mac OS X::
 
-Unless you are running a test instance of Synapse on your local machine, in
-general, you will need to enable TLS support before you can successfully
-connect from a client: see `<INSTALL.md#tls-certificates>`_.
+    $ xcode-select --install
+    $ sudo pip install virtualenv
+    
+To install the synapse homeserver run::
 
-An easy way to get started is to login or register via Riot at
-https://riot.im/app/#/login or https://riot.im/app/#/register respectively.
-You will need to change the server you are logging into from ``matrix.org``
-and instead specify a Homeserver URL of ``https://<server_name>:8448``
-(or just ``https://<server_name>`` if you are using a reverse proxy).
-(Leave the identity server as the default - see `Identity servers`_.)
-If you prefer to use another client, refer to our
-`client breakdown <https://matrix.org/docs/projects/clients-matrix>`_.
+    $ virtualenv ~/.synapse
+    $ source ~/.synapse/bin/activate
+    $ pip install --process-dependency-links https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tarball/master
 
-If all goes well you should at least be able to log in, create a room, and
-start sending messages.
+This installs synapse, along with the libraries it uses, into a virtual
+environment under ``~/.synapse``.
 
-.. _`client-user-reg`:
+To set up your homeserver, run (in your virtualenv, as before)::
 
-Registering a new user from a client
-------------------------------------
+    $ cd ~/.synapse
+    $ python -m synapse.app.homeserver \
+        --server-name machine.my.domain.name \
+        --config-path homeserver.yaml \
+        --generate-config
 
-By default, registration of new users via Matrix clients is disabled. To enable
-it, specify ``enable_registration: true`` in ``homeserver.yaml``. (It is then
-recommended to also set up CAPTCHA - see `<docs/CAPTCHA_SETUP.rst>`_.)
+Substituting your host and domain name as appropriate.
 
-Once ``enable_registration`` is set to ``true``, it is possible to register a
-user via `riot.im <https://riot.im/app/#/register>`_ or other Matrix clients.
+For reliable VoIP calls to be routed via this homeserver, you MUST configure
+a TURN server.  See docs/turn-howto.rst for details.
 
-Your new user name will be formed partly from the ``server_name``, and partly
-from a localpart you specify when you create the account. Your name will take
-the form of::
+Troubleshooting Installation
+----------------------------
 
-    @localpart:my.domain.name
+Synapse requires pip 1.7 or later, so if your OS provides too old a version and 
+you get errors about ``error: no such option: --process-dependency-links`` you 
+may need to manually upgrade it::
 
-(pronounced "at localpart on my dot domain dot name").
+    $ sudo pip install --upgrade pip
 
-As when logging in, you will need to specify a "Custom server".  Specify your
-desired ``localpart`` in the 'User name' box.
+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::
 
-ACME setup
-==========
+    $ rm -rf /tmp/pip_install_matrix
 
-For details on having Synapse manage your federation TLS certificates
-automatically, please see `<docs/ACME.md>`_.
+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.::
 
+    $ pip install twisted
 
-Security Note
-=============
+On OSX, if you encounter clang: error: unknown argument: '-mno-fused-madd' you
+will need to export CFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments.
 
-Matrix serves raw user generated data in some APIs - specifically the `content
-repository endpoints <https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/latest.html#get-matrix-media-r0-download-servername-mediaid>`_.
+ArchLinux
+---------
 
-Whilst we have tried to mitigate against possible XSS attacks (e.g.
-https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/1021) we recommend running
-matrix homeservers on a dedicated domain name, to limit any malicious user generated
-content served to web browsers a matrix API from being able to attack webapps hosted
-on the same domain.  This is particularly true of sharing a matrix webclient and
-server on the same domain.
+Installation on ArchLinux may encounter a few hiccups as Arch defaults to
+python 3, but synapse currently assumes python 2.7 by default.
 
-See https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/1977 and
-https://developer.github.com/changes/2014-04-25-user-content-security for more details.
+pip may be outdated (6.0.7-1 and needs to be upgraded to 6.0.8-1 )::
 
+    $ sudo pip2.7 install --upgrade pip
+    
+You also may need to explicitly specify python 2.7 again during the install
+request::
 
-Upgrading an existing Synapse
-=============================
+    $ pip2.7 install --process-dependency-links \

+    
+If you encounter an error with lib bcrypt causing an Wrong ELF Class:
+ELFCLASS32 (x64 Systems), you may need to reinstall py-bcrypt to correctly
+compile it under the right architecture. (This should not be needed if
+installing under virtualenv)::
 
-The instructions for upgrading synapse are in `UPGRADE.rst`_.
-Please check these instructions as upgrading may require extra steps for some
-versions of synapse.
+    $ sudo pip2.7 uninstall py-bcrypt
+    $ sudo pip2.7 install py-bcrypt
+    
+During setup of homeserver you need to call python2.7 directly again::
 
-.. _UPGRADE.rst: UPGRADE.rst
+    $ cd ~/.synapse
+    $ python2.7 -m synapse.app.homeserver \
+      --server-name machine.my.domain.name \
+      --config-path homeserver.yaml \
+      --generate-config
+        
+...substituting your host and domain name as appropriate.
 
+Windows Install
+---------------
+Synapse can be installed on Cygwin. It requires the following Cygwin packages:
 
-Using PostgreSQL
-================
+ - gcc
+ - git
+ - libffi-devel
+ - openssl (and openssl-devel, python-openssl)
+ - python
+ - python-setuptools
 
-Synapse offers two database engines:
- * `SQLite <https://sqlite.org/>`_
- * `PostgreSQL <https://www.postgresql.org>`_
+The content repository requires additional packages and will be unable to process
+uploads without them:
+ - libjpeg8
+ - libjpeg8-devel
+ - zlib
+If you choose to install Synapse without these packages, you will need to reinstall
+``pillow`` for changes to be applied, e.g. ``pip uninstall pillow`` ``pip install
+pillow --user``
 
-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.
+Troubleshooting:
 
-Almost all installations should opt to use PostreSQL. Advantages include:
+- You may need to upgrade ``setuptools`` to get this to work correctly:
+  ``pip install setuptools --upgrade``.
+- You may encounter errors indicating that ``ffi.h`` is missing, even with
+  ``libffi-devel`` installed. If you do, copy the ``.h`` files:
+  ``cp /usr/lib/libffi-3.0.13/include/*.h /usr/include``
+- You may need to install libsodium from source in order to install PyNacl. If
+  you do, you may need to create a symlink to ``libsodium.a`` so ``ld`` can find
+  it: ``ln -s /usr/local/lib/libsodium.a /usr/lib/libsodium.a``
 
-* significant performance improvements due to the superior threading and
-  caching model, smarter query optimiser
-* allowing the DB to be run on separate hardware
-* allowing basic active/backup high-availability with a "hot spare" synapse
-  pointing at the same DB master, as well as enabling DB replication in
-  synapse itself.
+Running Your Homeserver
+=======================
 
-For information on how to install and use PostgreSQL, please see
-`docs/postgres.rst <docs/postgres.rst>`_.
+To actually run your new homeserver, pick a working directory for Synapse to run 
+(e.g. ``~/.synapse``), and::
 
-.. _reverse-proxy:
+    $ cd ~/.synapse
+    $ source ./bin/activate
+    $ synctl start
 
-Using a reverse proxy with Synapse
-==================================
+Troubleshooting Running
+-----------------------
 
-It is recommended to put a reverse proxy such as
-`nginx <https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html>`_,
-`Apache <https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy_http.html>`_,
-`Caddy <https://caddyserver.com/docs/proxy>`_ or
-`HAProxy <https://www.haproxy.org/>`_ in front of Synapse. One advantage of
-doing so is that it means that you can expose the default https port (443) to
-Matrix clients without needing to run Synapse with root privileges.
+If synapse fails with ``missing "sodium.h"`` crypto errors, you may need 
+to manually upgrade PyNaCL, as synapse uses NaCl (http://nacl.cr.yp.to/) for 
+encryption and digital signatures.
+Unfortunately PyNACL currently has a few issues
+(https://github.com/pyca/pynacl/issues/53) and
+(https://github.com/pyca/pynacl/issues/79) that mean it may not install
+correctly, causing all tests to fail with errors about missing "sodium.h". To
+fix try re-installing from PyPI or directly from
+(https://github.com/pyca/pynacl)::
 
-For information on configuring one, see `<docs/reverse_proxy.rst>`_.
+    $ # Install from PyPI
+    $ pip install --user --upgrade --force pynacl
+    $ # Install from github
+    $ pip install --user https://github.com/pyca/pynacl/tarball/master
 
-Identity Servers
-================
+ArchLinux
+---------
 
-Identity servers have the job of mapping email addresses and other 3rd Party
-IDs (3PIDs) to Matrix user IDs, as well as verifying the ownership of 3PIDs
-before creating that mapping.
+If running `$ synctl start` fails wit 'returned non-zero exit status 1', you will need to explicitly call Python2.7 - either running as::
 
-**They are not where accounts or credentials are stored - these live on home
-servers. Identity Servers are just for mapping 3rd party IDs to matrix IDs.**
+    $ python2.7 -m synapse.app.homeserver --daemonize -c homeserver.yaml --pid-file homeserver.pid
+    
+...or by editing synctl with the correct python executable.
 
-This process is very security-sensitive, as there is obvious risk of spam if it
-is too easy to sign up for Matrix accounts or harvest 3PID data. In the longer
-term, we hope to create a decentralised system to manage it (`matrix-doc #712
-<https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/712>`_), but in the meantime,
-the role of managing trusted identity in the Matrix ecosystem is farmed out to
-a cluster of known trusted ecosystem partners, who run 'Matrix Identity
-Servers' such as `Sydent <https://github.com/matrix-org/sydent>`_, whose role
-is purely to authenticate and track 3PID logins and publish end-user public
-keys.
+Homeserver Development
+======================
 
-You can host your own copy of Sydent, but this will prevent you reaching other
-users in the Matrix ecosystem via their email address, and prevent them finding
-you. We therefore recommend that you use one of the centralised identity servers
-at ``https://matrix.org`` or ``https://vector.im`` for now.
-
-To reiterate: the Identity server will only be used if you choose to associate
-an email address with your account, or send an invite to another user via their
-email address.
-
-
-Password reset
-==============
-
-If a user has registered an email address to their account using an identity
-server, they can request a password-reset token via clients such as Riot.
-
-A manual password reset can be done via direct database access as follows.
-
-First calculate the hash of the new password::
-
-    $ ~/synapse/env/bin/hash_password
-    Password:
-    Confirm password:
-    $2a$12$xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-
-Then update the `users` table in the database::

-    UPDATE users SET password_hash='$2a$12$xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
-        WHERE name='@test:test.com';

-a Matrix homeserver integration testing suite, which uses HTTP requests to
-access the API as a Matrix client would. It is able to run Synapse directly from

+Upgrading an existing homeserver
+================================
+
+IMPORTANT: Before upgrading an existing homeserver to a new version, please
+refer to UPGRADE.rst for any additional instructions.
+
+Otherwise, simply re-install the new codebase over the current one - e.g.
+by ``pip install --process-dependency-links
+https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tarball/master``
+if using pip, or by ``git pull`` if running off a git working copy.
+
+
+Setting up Federation
+=====================
+
+In order for other homeservers to send messages to your server, it will need to
+be publicly visible on the internet, and they will need to know its host name.
+You have two choices here, which will influence the form of your Matrix user
+IDs:
+
+1) Use the machine's own hostname as available on public DNS in the form of
+   its A or AAAA records. This is easier to set up initially, perhaps for
+   testing, but lacks the flexibility of SRV.
+
+2) Set up a SRV record for your domain name. This requires you create a SRV
+   record in DNS, but gives the flexibility to run the server on your own
+   choice of TCP port, on a machine that might not be the same name as the
+   domain name.
+
+For the first form, simply pass the required hostname (of the machine) as the
+--server-name parameter::
+
+    $ python -m synapse.app.homeserver \
+        --server-name machine.my.domain.name \
+        --config-path homeserver.yaml \
+        --generate-config
+    $ python -m synapse.app.homeserver --config-path homeserver.yaml
+
+Alternatively, you can run ``synctl start`` to guide you through the process.
+
+For the second form, first create your SRV record and publish it in DNS. This
+needs to be named _matrix._tcp.YOURDOMAIN, and point at at least one hostname
+and port where the server is running.  (At the current time synapse does not
+support clustering multiple servers into a single logical homeserver).  The DNS
+record would then look something like::
+
+    $ dig -t srv _matrix._tcp.machine.my.domaine.name
+    _matrix._tcp    IN      SRV     10 0 8448 machine.my.domain.name.
+
+
+At this point, you should then run the homeserver with the hostname of this
+SRV record, as that is the name other machines will expect it to have::
+
+    $ python -m synapse.app.homeserver \
+        --server-name YOURDOMAIN \
+        --bind-port 8448 \
+        --config-path homeserver.yaml \
+        --generate-config
+    $ python -m synapse.app.homeserver --config-path homeserver.yaml
+
+
+You may additionally want to pass one or more "-v" options, in order to
+increase the verbosity of logging output; at least for initial testing.
+
+For the initial alpha release, the homeserver is not speaking TLS for
+either client-server or server-server traffic for ease of debugging. We have
+also not spent any time yet getting the homeserver to run behind loadbalancers.
+
+Running a Demo Federation of Homeservers
+----------------------------------------
+
+If you want to get up and running quickly with a trio of homeservers in a
+private federation (``localhost:8080``, ``localhost:8081`` and
+``localhost:8082``) which you can then access through the webclient running at
+http://localhost:8080. Simply run::
+
+    $ demo/start.sh
+    
+This is mainly useful just for development purposes.
+
+Running The Demo Web Client
+===========================
+
+The homeserver runs a web client by default at https://localhost:8448/.
+
+If this is the first time you have used the client from that browser (it uses
+HTML5 local storage to remember its config), you will need to log in to your
+account. If you don't yet have an account, because you've just started the
+homeserver for the first time, then you'll need to register one.
+
+
+Registering A New Account
+-------------------------
+
+Your new user name will be formed partly from the hostname your server is
+running as, and partly from a localpart you specify when you create the
+account. Your name will take the form of::
+
+    @localpart:my.domain.here
+         (pronounced "at localpart on my dot domain dot here")
+
+Specify your desired localpart in the topmost box of the "Register for an
+account" form, and click the "Register" button. Hostnames can contain ports if
+required due to lack of SRV records (e.g. @matthew:localhost:8448 on an
+internal synapse sandbox running on localhost)
+
+
+Logging In To An Existing Account
+---------------------------------
+
+Just enter the ``@localpart:my.domain.here`` Matrix user ID and password into
+the form and click the Login button.
+
+
+Identity Servers
+================
+
+The job of authenticating 3PIDs and tracking which 3PIDs are associated with a
+given Matrix user is very security-sensitive, as there is obvious risk of spam
+if it is too easy to sign up for Matrix accounts or harvest 3PID data.
+Meanwhile the job of publishing the end-to-end encryption public keys for
+Matrix users is also very security-sensitive for similar reasons.
+
+Therefore the role of managing trusted identity in the Matrix ecosystem is
+farmed out to a cluster of known trusted ecosystem partners, who run 'Matrix
+Identity Servers' such as ``sydent``, whose role is purely to authenticate and
+track 3PID logins and publish end-user public keys.
+
+It's currently early days for identity servers as Matrix is not yet using 3PIDs
+as the primary means of identity and E2E encryption is not complete. As such,
+we are running a single identity server (http://matrix.org:8090) at the current
+time.

-Troubleshooting
-===============
-
-Running out of File Handles
----------------------------
-
-If synapse runs out of file handles, it typically fails badly - live-locking
-at 100% CPU, and/or failing to accept new TCP connections (blocking the
-connecting client).  Matrix currently can legitimately use a lot of file handles,
-thanks to busy rooms like #matrix:matrix.org containing hundreds of participating
-servers.  The first time a server talks in a room it will try to connect
-simultaneously to all participating servers, which could exhaust the available
-file descriptors between DNS queries & HTTPS sockets, especially if DNS is slow
-to respond. (We need to improve the routing algorithm used to be better than
-full mesh, but as of March 2019 this hasn't happened yet).
-
-If you hit this failure mode, we recommend increasing the maximum number of
-open file handles to be at least 4096 (assuming a default of 1024 or 256).
-This is typically done by editing ``/etc/security/limits.conf``
-
-Separately, Synapse may leak file handles if inbound HTTP requests get stuck

-Help!! Synapse eats all my RAM!
--------------------------------
-
-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.
-
-Using `libjemalloc <http://jemalloc.net/>`_ can also yield a significant
-improvement in overall amount, and especially in terms of giving back RAM
-to the OS. To use it, the library must simply be put in the LD_PRELOAD
-environment variable when launching Synapse. On Debian, this can be done
-by installing the ``libjemalloc1`` package and adding this line to
-``/etc/default/matrix-synapse``::
-
-    LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjemalloc.so.1
-
-This can make a significant difference on Python 2.7 - it's unclear how
-much of an improvement it provides on Python 3.x.

-Upgrading Synapse
-=================
-
-Before upgrading check if any special steps are required to upgrade from the
-what you currently have installed to current version of synapse. The extra
-instructions that may be required are listed later in this document.
-
-1. If synapse was installed in a virtualenv then activate that virtualenv before
-   upgrading. If synapse is installed in a virtualenv in ``~/synapse/env`` then
-   run:
-
-   .. code:: bash
-
-       source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate
-
-2. If synapse was installed using pip then upgrade to the latest version by
-   running:
-
-   .. code:: bash
-
-       pip install --upgrade matrix-synapse[all]
-
-       # restart synapse
-       synctl restart
-
-
-   If synapse was installed using git then upgrade to the latest version by
-   running:
-
-   .. code:: bash
-
-       # Pull the latest version of the master branch.
-       git pull
-
-       # Update synapse and its python dependencies.
-       pip install --upgrade .[all]
-
-       # restart synapse
-       ./synctl restart
-
-
-To check whether your update was successful, you can check the Server header
-returned by the Client-Server API:
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-    # replace <host.name> with the hostname of your synapse homeserver.
-    # You may need to specify a port (eg, :8448) if your server is not
-    # configured on port 443.
-    curl -kv https://<host.name>/_matrix/client/versions 2>&1 | grep "Server:"
-
-Upgrading to v0.99.0
-====================
-
-Please be aware that, before Synapse v1.0 is released around March 2019, you
-will need to replace any self-signed certificates with those verified by a
-root CA. Information on how to do so can be found at `the ACME docs
-<docs/ACME.md>`_.
-
-For more information on configuring TLS certificates see the `FAQ <docs/MSC1711_certificates_FAQ.md>`_.
-
-Upgrading to v0.34.0
-====================
-
-1. This release is the first to fully support Python 3. Synapse will now run on
-   Python versions 3.5, or 3.6 (as well as 2.7). We recommend switching to
-   Python 3, as it has been shown to give performance improvements.
-
-   For users who have installed Synapse into a virtualenv, we recommend doing
-   this by creating a new virtualenv. For example::
-
-       virtualenv -p python3 ~/synapse/env3
-       source ~/synapse/env3/bin/activate
-       pip install matrix-synapse
-
-   You can then start synapse as normal, having activated the new virtualenv::
-
-       cd ~/synapse
-       source env3/bin/activate
-       synctl start
-
-   Users who have installed from distribution packages should see the relevant
-   package documentation. See below for notes on Debian packages.
-
-   * When upgrading to Python 3, you **must** make sure that your log files are
-     configured as UTF-8, by adding ``encoding: utf8`` to the
-     ``RotatingFileHandler`` configuration (if you have one) in your
-     ``<server>.log.config`` file. For example, if your ``log.config`` file
-     contains::
-
-       handlers:
-         file:
-           class: logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler
-           formatter: precise
-           filename: homeserver.log
-           maxBytes: 104857600
-           backupCount: 10
-           filters: [context]
-         console:
-           class: logging.StreamHandler
-           formatter: precise
-           filters: [context]
-
-     Then you should update this to be::
-
-       handlers:
-         file:
-           class: logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler
-           formatter: precise
-           filename: homeserver.log
-           maxBytes: 104857600
-           backupCount: 10
-           filters: [context]
-           encoding: utf8
-         console:
-           class: logging.StreamHandler
-           formatter: precise
-           filters: [context]
-
-     There is no need to revert this change if downgrading to Python 2.
-
-   We are also making available Debian packages which will run Synapse on
-   Python 3. You can switch to these packages with ``apt-get install
-   matrix-synapse-py3``, however, please read `debian/NEWS
-   <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v0.34.0/debian/NEWS>`_
-   before doing so. The existing ``matrix-synapse`` packages will continue to
-   use Python 2 for the time being.
-
-2. This release removes the ``riot.im`` from the default list of trusted
-   identity servers.
-
-   If ``riot.im`` is in your homeserver's list of
-   ``trusted_third_party_id_servers``, you should remove it. It was added in
-   case a hypothetical future identity server was put there. If you don't
-   remove it, users may be unable to deactivate their accounts.
-
-3. This release no longer installs the (unmaintained) Matrix Console web client
-   as part of the default installation. It is possible to re-enable it by
-   installing it separately and setting the ``web_client_location`` config
-   option, but please consider switching to another client.
-
-Upgrading to v0.33.7
-====================
-
-This release removes the example email notification templates from
-``res/templates`` (they are now internal to the python package). This should
-only affect you if you (a) deploy your Synapse instance from a git checkout or
-a github snapshot URL, and (b) have email notifications enabled.
-
-If you have email notifications enabled, you should ensure that
-``email.template_dir`` is either configured to point at a directory where you
-have installed customised templates, or leave it unset to use the default
-templates.
-
-Upgrading to v0.27.3
-====================
-
-This release expands the anonymous usage stats sent if the opt-in
-``report_stats`` configuration is set to ``true``. We now capture RSS memory
-and cpu use at a very coarse level. This requires administrators to install
-the optional ``psutil`` python module.
-
-We would appreciate it if you could assist by ensuring this module is available
-and ``report_stats`` is enabled. This will let us see if performance changes to
-synapse are having an impact to the general community.
-
-Upgrading to v0.15.0
-====================
-
-If you want to use the new URL previewing API (/_matrix/media/r0/preview_url)
-then you have to explicitly enable it in the config and update your dependencies
-dependencies.  See README.rst for details.
-
-
-Upgrading to v0.11.0
-====================
-
-This release includes the option to send anonymous usage stats to matrix.org,
-and requires that administrators explictly opt in or out by setting the
-``report_stats`` option to either ``true`` or ``false``.
-
-We would really appreciate it if you could help our project out by reporting
-anonymized usage statistics from your homeserver. Only very basic aggregate
-data (e.g. number of users) will be reported, but it helps us to track the
-growth of the Matrix community, and helps us to make Matrix a success, as well
-as to convince other networks that they should peer with us.
-
-
-Upgrading to v0.9.0
-===================
-
-Application services have had a breaking API change in this version.
-
-They can no longer register themselves with a home server using the AS HTTP API. This
-decision was made because a compromised application service with free reign to register
-any regex in effect grants full read/write access to the home server if a regex of ``.*``
-is used. An attack where a compromised AS re-registers itself with ``.*`` was deemed too
-big of a security risk to ignore, and so the ability to register with the HS remotely has
-been removed.
-
-It has been replaced by specifying a list of application service registrations in
-``homeserver.yaml``::
-
-  app_service_config_files: ["registration-01.yaml", "registration-02.yaml"]
-
-Where ``registration-01.yaml`` looks like::
-
-  url: <String>  # e.g. "https://my.application.service.com"
-  as_token: <String>
-  hs_token: <String>
-  sender_localpart: <String>  # This is a new field which denotes the user_id localpart when using the AS token
-  namespaces:
-    users:
-      - exclusive: <Boolean>
-        regex: <String>  # e.g. "@prefix_.*"
-    aliases:
-      - exclusive: <Boolean>
-        regex: <String>
-    rooms:
-      - exclusive: <Boolean>
-        regex: <String>
