+Synapse 1.34.0 (2021-05-17)
+===========================
+
+This release deprecates the `room_invite_state_types` configuration setting. See the [upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.34.0/UPGRADE.rst#upgrading-to-v1340) for instructions on updating your configuration file to use the new `room_prejoin_state` setting.
+
+This release also deprecates the `POST /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>/delete` admin API route. Server administrators are encouraged to update their scripts to use the new `DELETE /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>` route instead.
+
+
+No significant changes since v1.34.0rc1.

+
+Synapse 1.34.0rc1 (2021-05-12)
+==============================
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- Add experimental option to track memory usage of the caches. ([\#9881](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9881))
+- Add support for `DELETE /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>`. ([\#9889](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9889))
+- Add limits to how often Synapse will GC, ensuring that large servers do not end up GC thrashing if `gc_thresholds` has not been correctly set. ([\#9902](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9902))
+- Improve performance of sending events for worker-based deployments using Redis. ([\#9905](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9905), [\#9950](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9950), [\#9951](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9951))
+- Improve performance after joining a large room when presence is enabled. ([\#9910](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9910), [\#9916](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9916))
+- Support stable identifiers for [MSC1772](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/1772) Spaces. `m.space.child` events will now be taken into account when populating the experimental spaces summary response. Please see [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.34.0/UPGRADE.rst#upgrading-to-v1340) if you have customised `room_invite_state_types` in your configuration. ([\#9915](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9915), [\#9966](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9966))
+- Improve performance of backfilling in large rooms. ([\#9935](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9935))
+- Add a config option to allow you to prevent device display names from being shared over federation. Contributed by @aaronraimist. ([\#9945](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9945))
+- Update support for [MSC2946](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2946): Spaces Summary. ([\#9947](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9947), [\#9954](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9954))
+
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Fix a bug introduced in v1.32.0 where the associated connection was improperly logged for SQL logging statements. ([\#9895](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9895))
+- Correct the type hint for the `user_may_create_room_alias` method of spam checkers. It is provided a `RoomAlias`, not a `str`. ([\#9896](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9896))
+- Fix bug where user directory could get out of sync if room visibility and membership changed in quick succession. ([\#9910](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9910))
+- Include the `origin_server_ts` property in the experimental [MSC2946](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2946) support to allow clients to properly sort rooms. ([\#9928](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9928))
+- Fix bugs introduced in v1.23.0 which made the PostgreSQL port script fail when run with a newly-created SQLite database. ([\#9930](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9930))
+- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.29.0 which caused `m.room_key_request` to-device messages sent from one user to another to be dropped. ([\#9961](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9961), [\#9965](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9965))
+- Fix a bug introduced in v1.27.0 preventing users and appservices exempt from ratelimiting from creating rooms with many invitees. ([\#9968](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9968))
+
+
+Updates to the Docker image
+---------------------------
+
+- Add `startup_delay` to docker healthcheck to reduce waiting time for coming online and update the documentation with extra options. Contributed by @Maquis196. ([\#9913](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9913))
+
+
+Improved Documentation
+----------------------
