+URL Previews
+============
+
+Synapse 0.15.0 introduces an experimental new API for previewing URLs at
+/_matrix/media/r0/preview_url.  This 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.
