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. 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-get autoremove`).

  matrix-synapse-py3 will take over responsibility for the existing
  configuration files, including the matrix-synapse systemd service.

  Beware, however, that `apt-get 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`.
