+Upgrading to v1.1
+=================
+
+Synapse 1.1 removes support for older Python and PostgreSQL versions, as
+outlined in `our deprecation notice <https://matrix.org/blog/2019/04/08/synapse-deprecating-postgres-9-4-and-python-2-x>`_.
+
+Minimum Python Version
+----------------------
+
+Synapse v1.1 has a minimum Python requirement of Python 3.5. Python 3.6 or
+Python 3.7 are recommended as they have improved internal string handling,
+significantly reducing memory usage.
+
+If you use current versions of the Matrix.org-distributed Debian packages or
+Docker images, action is not required.
+
+If you install Synapse in a Python virtual environment, please see "Upgrading to
+v0.34.0" for notes on setting up a new virtualenv under Python 3.
+
+Minimum PostgreSQL Version
+--------------------------
+
+If using PostgreSQL under Synapse, you will need to use PostgreSQL 9.5 or above.
+Please see the
+`PostgreSQL documentation <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/upgrading.html>`_
+for more details on upgrading your database.

+To enable the servers to communicate untrusted ssl certs are used. In order to do this the servers do not check the certs
