Synapse 1.32.0 (2021-04-20)

===========================

**Note:** This release requires Python 3.6+ and Postgres 9.6+ or SQLite 3.22+.

This release removes the deprecated `GET /_synapse/admin/v1/users/<user_id>` admin API. Please use the [v2 API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/admin_api/user_admin_api.rst#query-user-account) instead, which has improved capabilities.

This release requires Application Services to use type `m.login.application_service` when registering users via the `/_matrix/client/r0/register` endpoint to comply with the spec. Please ensure your Application Services are up to date.

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix the log lines of nested logging contexts. Broke in 1.32.0rc1. ([\#9829](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9829))
