Synapse 1.64.0 (2022-08-02)

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

No significant changes since 1.64.0rc2.

Deprecation Warning
-------------------

Synapse v1.66.0 will remove the ability to delegate the tasks of verifying email address ownership, and password reset confirmation, to an identity server.

If you require your homeserver to verify e-mail addresses or to support password resets via e-mail, please configure your homeserver with SMTP access so that it can send e-mails on its own behalf.
[Consult the configuration documentation for more information.](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#email)

Synapse 1.64.0rc2 (2022-07-29)
==============================

This RC reintroduces support for `account_threepid_delegates.email`, which was removed in 1.64.0rc1. It remains deprecated and will be removed altogether in Synapse v1.66.0. ([\#13406](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13406))

Synapse 1.64.0rc1 (2022-07-26)
==============================

This RC removed the ability to delegate the tasks of verifying email address ownership, and password reset confirmation, to an identity server.

We have also stopped building `.deb` packages for Ubuntu 21.10 as it is no longer an active version of Ubuntu.

Features
--------

- Improve error messages when media thumbnails cannot be served. ([\#13038](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13038))
- Allow pagination from remote event after discovering it from [MSC3030](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3030) `/timestamp_to_event`. ([\#13205](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13205))
- Add a `room_type` field in the responses for the list room and room details admin APIs. Contributed by @andrewdoh. ([\#13208](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13208))
- Add support for room version 10. ([\#13220](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13220))

- Support Implicit TLS (TLS without using a STARTTLS upgrade, typically on port 465) for sending emails, enabled by the new option `force_tls`. Contributed by Jan Schär. ([\#13317](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13317))

Bugfixes
