From 4607be0b7b2165710dc2e5e68ec4281b593ca8c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Robertson Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2023 15:28:20 +0000 Subject: Request partial joins by default (#14905) * Request partial joins by default This is a little sloppy, but we are trying to gain confidence in faster joins in the upcoming RC. Admins can still opt out by adding the following to their Synapse config: ```yaml experimental: faster_joins: false ``` We may revert this change before the release proper, depending on how testing in the wild goes. * Changelog * Try to fix the backfill test failures * Upgrade notes * Postgres compat? --- docs/upgrade.md | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+) (limited to 'docs') diff --git a/docs/upgrade.md b/docs/upgrade.md index 0d486a3c82..6316db563b 100644 --- a/docs/upgrade.md +++ b/docs/upgrade.md @@ -90,6 +90,19 @@ process, for example: # Upgrading to v1.76.0 +## Faster joins are enabled by default + +When joining a room for the first time, Synapse 1.76.0rc1 will request a partial join from the other server by default.
