This release is the first to fully support Python 3. Synapse will now run on + Python versions 3.5, or 3.6 (as well as 2.7). We recommend switching to + Python 3, as it has been shown to give performance improvements. + + For users who have installed Synapse into a virtualenv, we recommend doing + this by creating a new virtualenv. For example:: + + virtualenv -p python3 ~/synapse/env3 + source ~/synapse/env3/bin/activate + pip install matrix-synapse + + You can then start synapse as normal, having activated the new virtualenv:: + + cd ~/synapse + source env3/bin/activate + synctl start + + Users who have installed from distribution packages should see the relevant + package documentation. See below for notes on Debian packages. + + * When upgrading to Python 3, you **must** make sure that your log files are + configured as UTF-8, by adding ``encoding: utf8`` to the + ``RotatingFileHandler`` configuration (if you have one) in your + ``<server>.log.config`` file. For example, if your ``log.config`` file + contains:: + + handlers: + file: + class: logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler + formatter: precise + filename: homeserver.log + maxBytes: 104857600 + backupCount: 10 + filters: [context] + console: + class: logging.StreamHandler + formatter: precise + filters: [context] + + Then you should update this to be:: + + handlers: + file: + class: logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler + formatter: precise + filename: homeserver.log + maxBytes: 104857600 + backupCount: 10 + filters: [context] + encoding: utf8 + console: + class: logging.StreamHandler + formatter: precise + filters: [context] + + There is no need to revert this change if downgrading to Python 2. + + We are also making available Debian packages which will run Synapse on + Python 3. You can switch to these packages with ``apt-get install + matrix-synapse-py3``, however, please read `debian/NEWS + <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v0.34.0/debian/NEWS>`_ + before doing so.

It was added in + case a hypothetical future identity server was put there. If you don't + remove it, users may be unable to deactivate their accounts. + +3. This release no longer installs the (unmaintained) Matrix Console web client + as part of the default installation. It is possible to re-enable it by + installing it separately and setting the ``web_client_location`` config + option, but please consider switching to another client. + Upgrading to v0.33.7 ==================== |
