See the [docker README](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.1.0/docker/README.md#legacy-dynamic-configuration-file-support) +for more details. + +No changes since 1.1.0rc2. + + +Synapse 1.1.0rc2 (2019-07-03) +============================= + +Bugfixes +-------- + +- Fix regression in 1.1rc1 where OPTIONS requests to the media repo would fail. ([\#5593](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5593)) +- Removed the `SYNAPSE_SMTP_*` docker container environment variables.

([\#5596](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5596)) +- Fix a number of "Starting txn from sentinel context" warnings. ([\#5605](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5605)) + + +Internal Changes +---------------- + +- Update github templates.

([\#5363](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5363)) +- Statistics on forward extremities per room are now exposed via Prometheus. ([\#5384](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5384), [\#5458](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5458), [\#5461](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5461)) +- Add --no-daemonize option to run synapse in the foreground, per issue #4130.

Contributed by [Alexander Trost](https://github.com/galexrt) - thank you! ([\#5422](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5422)) +- Allow server admins to define implementations of extra rules for allowing or denying incoming events.

([\#5524](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5524)) +- Split public rooms directory auth config in two settings, in order to manage client auth independently from the federation part of it. Obsoletes the "restrict_public_rooms_to_local_users" configuration setting. If "restrict_public_rooms_to_local_users" is set in the config, Synapse will act as if both new options are enabled, i.e. require authentication through the client API and deny federation requests. ([\#5534](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5534)) +- The minimum TLS version used for outgoing federation requests can now be set with `federation_client_minimum_tls_version`.

([\#5325](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5325)) +- Warn about disabling email-based password resets when a reset occurs, and remove warning when someone attempts a phone-based reset.

Users who had this problem should now simply need to run `pip install matrix-synapse`. ([\#5514](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5514)) +- Fix a regression where homeservers on private IP addresses were incorrectly blacklisted. ([\#5523](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5523)) +- Fixed m.login.jwt using unregistred user_id and added pyjwt>=1.6.4 as jwt conditional dependencies. Contributed by Pau Rodriguez-Estivill.
