If your +deployment uses a dedicated worker for application service traffic, **it must +be stopped** when the database is upgraded (which normally happens when the +main process is upgraded), to ensure the change is made safely without any risk +of reusing transaction IDs. + +See the [upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1570) for more details. + +Features +-------- + +- Send device list changes to application services as specified by [MSC3202](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3202), using unstable prefixes. The `msc3202_transaction_extensions` experimental homeserver config option must be enabled and `org.matrix.msc3202: true` must be present in the application service registration file for device list changes to be sent. The "left" field is currently always empty. ([\#11881](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11881)) +- Optimise fetching large quantities of missing room state over federation.
