matrix-synapse-py3 (0.34.0) stable; urgency=medium
matrix-synapse-py3 is intended as a drop-in replacement for the existing
matrix-synapse package. When the package is installed, matrix-synapse will be
automatically uninstalled. The replacement should be relatively seamless,
however, please note the following important differences to matrix-synapse:
* Most importantly, the matrix-synapse service now runs under Python 3 rather
than Python 2.7.
* Synapse is installed into its own virtualenv (in /opt/venvs/matrix-synapse)
instead of using the system python libraries. (This may mean that you can
remove a number of old dependencies with `apt autoremove`).
* If you have previously manually installed any custom python extensions
(such as matrix-synapse-rest-auth) into the system python directories, you
will need to reinstall them in the new virtualenv. Please consult the
documentation of the relevant extensions for further details.
matrix-synapse-py3 will take over responsibility for the existing
configuration files, including the matrix-synapse systemd service.
Beware, however, that `apt purge matrix-synapse` will *disable* the
matrix-synapse service (so that it will not be started on reboot), even
though that service is no longer being provided by the matrix-synapse
package. It can be re-enabled with `systemctl enable matrix-synapse`.
The matrix.org team will continue to provide Python 2 `matrix-synapse`
packages for the next couple of releases, to allow time for system
administrators to test the new packages.
