+Synapse 1.39.0rc1 (2021-07-20)
+==============================
+
+Note that Third-Party Event Rules module interface is deprecated in favour of the generic module interface introduced in Synapse v1.37.0. Support for the old interface is planned to be rmeoved in September 2021. See the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/upgrade.html#upgrading-to-v1390) for more information.
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- Add a module type for the account validity feature. ([\#9884](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9884))
+- The spaces summary API now returns any joinable rooms, not only rooms which are world-readable. ([\#10298](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10298), [\#10305](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10305))
+- Add a new version of the R30 phone-home metric, which removes a false impression of retention given by the old R30 metric. ([\#10332](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10332), [\#10427](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10427))
+- Allow providing credentials to `http_proxy`. ([\#10360](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10360))
+
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Add base starting insertion event when no chunk ID is specified in the historical batch send API. ([\#10250](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10250))
+- Fix historical batch send endpoint (MSC2716) rejecting batches with messages from multiple senders. ([\#10276](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10276))
+- Fix purging rooms that other homeservers are still sending events for. Contributed by @ilmari. ([\#10317](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10317))
+- Fix errors during backfill caused by previously purged redaction events. Contributed by Andreas Rammhold (@andir). ([\#10343](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10343))
+- Fix the user directory becoming broken (and noisy errors being logged) when knocking and room statistics are in use. ([\#10344](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10344))
+- Fix newly added `synapse_federation_server_oldest_inbound_pdu_in_staging` prometheus metric to measure age rather than timestamp. ([\#10355](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10355))
+- Fix PostgreSQL sometimes using table scans for queries against `state_groups_state` table, taking a long time and a large amount of IO. ([\#10359](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10359))
+- Fix `make_room_admin` failing for users that have left a private room. ([\#10367](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10367))

+- Responses from `/make_{join,leave,knock}` no longer include signatures, which will turn out to be invalid after events are returned to `/send_{join,leave,knock}`. ([\#10404](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10404))
+
