matrix-synapse (1.55.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium Some of the commands shipped with Synapse now have names different from those provided by the upstream. This is to ensure more consistent naming and avoid potential name clashes with other packages: (old name) (new name) export_signing_key synapse_export_signing_key generate_config synapse_generate_config generate_log_config synapse_generate_log_config generate_signing_key synapse_generate_signing_key hash_password synapse_hash_password register_new_matrix_user synapse_register_new_matrix_user update_synapse_database synapse_update_database The commands with the previous names are still available in /usr/libexec/matrix-synapse, should you prefer those. Please also note that this version of Synapse no longer ships sync_room_to_group.pl. -- Andrej Shadura Tue, 22 Mar 2022 18:46:38 +0100 matrix-synapse (1.9.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium The default logging config now comes with the logging level for Synapse itself set to INFO, but some other modules and Twisted set to WARN. This verbosity should be fine for normal uses, but when troubleshooting, users may want to revert all WARNs to INFO or maybe even DEBUG. The future releases will try to align the defaults to the upstream’s one. -- Andrej Shadura Thu, 23 Jan 2020 18:59:21 +0100 matrix-synapse (0.99.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium This version of the package introduces support for the Server-to-Server Spec r0.1. Since this version of the specification, self-signed certificates will no longer be valid for homeservers. While 0.99.0 still accepts self-signed certificates, the next release of Synapse will not. It is critical that you configure a valid TLS certificate. Synapse will not automatically invalidate or warn about existing self-signed certificates. Starting from 0.99.0, Synapse supports ACME protocol to request certificates from Let’s Encrypt, but this code is not yet available in Debian packages, which means that you need to set it up manually for now. Please note that if your homeserver runs under a different domain name than your server name, you will need to configure the .well-known resource; just having an SRV record will not be enough to federate with Synapse 1.0 servers. See /usr/share/doc/matrix-synapse/misc/MSC1711_certificates_FAQ.md.gz for more details. -- Andrej Shadura Sat, 09 Feb 2019 15:21:23 +0100 matrix-synapse (0.34.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium From 0.34.0~rc2 on, matrix-synapse runs using Python 3. This contrasts with packages the upstream provides, where matrix-synapse is a Python 2 version, and the Python 3 version is shipped as matrix-synapse-py3. -- Andrej Shadura Fri, 21 Dec 2018 13:34:26 +0100
