-Synapse vNext
-=============
+Synapse 1.64.0rc1 (2022-07-26)
+==============================
 
 As of this release, Synapse no longer allows the tasks of verifying email address ownership, and password reset confirmation, to be delegated to an identity server. For more information, see the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.64/upgrade.html#upgrading-to-v1640).
 
 
+Features
+--------
+
+- Provide more info why we don't have any thumbnails to serve. ([\#13038](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13038))
+- Allow pagination from remote event after discovering it from MSC3030 `/timestamp_to_event`. ([\#13205](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13205))
+- Add a `room_type` field in the responses for the list room and room details admin API. Contributed by @andrewdoh. ([\#13208](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13208))
+- Add support for room version 10. ([\#13220](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13220))
+- Add per-room rate limiting for room joins. For each room, Synapse now monitors the rate of join events in that room, and throttle additional joins if that rate grows too large. ([\#13276](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13276))
+- Support Implicit TLS for sending emails, enabled by the new option `force_tls`. Contributed by Jan Schär. ([\#13317](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13317))
+
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.15.0 where adding a user through the Synapse Admin API with a phone number would fail if the "enable_email_notifs" and "email_notifs_for_new_users" options were enabled. Contributed by @thomasweston12. ([\#13263](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13263))

+- Fix long-standing bug where in rare instances Synapse could store the incorrect state for a room after a state resolution. ([\#13278](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13278))
+- Fix a bug introduced in v1.18.0 where the `synapse_pushers` metric would overcount pushers when they are replaced. ([\#13296](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13296))
+- Disable autocorrection and autocapitalisation on the username text field shown during registration when using SSO. ([\#13350](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13350))
