# Synapse 1.139.1 (2025-10-07)

## Security Fixes

- Fix [CVE-2025-61672](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-61672) / [GHSA-fh66-fcv5-jjfr](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-fh66-fcv5-jjfr). Lack of validation for device keys in Synapse before 1.139.1 allows an attacker registered on the victim homeserver to degrade federation functionality, unpredictably breaking outbound federation to other homeservers. ([\#17097](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17097))

## Deprecations and Removals

- Drop support for unstable field names from the long-accepted [MSC2732](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/2732) (Olm fallback keys) proposal. This change allows unit tests to pass following the security patch above. ([\#18996](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18996))



# Synapse 1.139.0 (2025-09-30)

### `/register` requests from old application service implementations may break when using MAS

If you are using Matrix Authentication Service (MAS), as of this release any
Application Services that do not set `inhibit_login=true` when calling `POST
/_matrix/client/v3/register` will receive the error
`IO.ELEMENT.MSC4190.M_APPSERVICE_LOGIN_UNSUPPORTED` in response. Please see [the
upgrade
notes](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/develop/upgrade.html#register-requests-from-old-application-service-implementations-may-break-when-using-mas)

# Synapse 1.136.0 (2025-08-12)

Note: This release includes the security fixes from `1.135.2` and `1.136.0rc2`, detailed below.

### Bugfixes

- Fix bug introduced in 1.135.2 and 1.136.0rc2 where the [Make Room Admin API](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/admin_api/rooms.html#make-room-admin-api) would not treat a room v12's creator power level as the highest in room. ([\#18805](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18805))


# Synapse 1.135.2 (2025-08-11)

This is the Synapse portion of the [Matrix coordinated security release](https://matrix.org/blog/2025/07/security-predisclosure/). This release includes support for [room version](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.15/rooms/) 12 which fixes a number of security vulnerabilities, including [CVE-2025-49090](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-49090).

The default room version is not changed. Not all clients will support room version 12 immediately, and not all users will be using the latest version of their clients. Large, public rooms are advised to wait a few weeks before upgrading to room version 12 to allow users throughout the Matrix ecosystem to update their clients.

Note: release 1.135.1 was skipped due to issues discovered during the release process.

Two patched Synapse releases are now available:

* `1.135.2`: stable release comprised of `1.135.0` + security patches
    * Upgrade to this release **if you are currently running 1.135.0 or below**.
* `1.136.0rc2`: unstable release candidate comprised of `1.136.0rc1` + security patches.
    * Upgrade to this release **only if you are on 1.136.0rc1**.

### Bugfixes

- Fix invalidation of storage cache that was broken in 1.135.0. ([\#18786](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18786))

### Internal Changes

- Speed up upgrading a room with large numbers of banned users. ([\#18574](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18574))


# Synapse 1.136.0rc2 (2025-08-11)

- Update MSC4293 redaction logic for room v12. ([\#80](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/80))

### Internal Changes

- Add a parameter to `upgrade_rooms(..)` to allow auto join local users. ([\#83](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/83))

Please check [the relevant section in the upgrade notes](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v11360) as this release contains changes to MAS support, metrics labels and the module API which may require your attention when upgrading.

### Features

- When admins enable themselves to see soft-failed events, they will also see if the cause is due to the policy server flagging them as spam via `unsigned`. ([\#18585](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18585))
- Add ability to configure forward/outbound proxy via homeserver config instead of environment variables. See `http_proxy`, `https_proxy`, `no_proxy_hosts`. ([\#18686](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18686))
- Advertise experimental support for [MSC4306](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4306) (Thread Subscriptions) through `/_matrix/clients/versions` if enabled. ([\#18722](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18722))

# Synapse 1.133.0 (2025-07-01)

Pre-built wheels are now built using the [manylinux_2_28](https://github.com/pypa/manylinux#manylinux_2_28-almalinux-8-based) base, which is expected to be compatible with distros using glibc 2.28 or later, including:

 - Debian 10+
 - Ubuntu 18.10+
 - Fedora 29+
 - CentOS/RHEL 8+

# Synapse 1.122.0rc1 (2025-01-07)

### Deprecations and Removals

- Remove support for PostgreSQL 11 and 12. Contributed by @clokep. ([\#18034](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18034))

### Features

- Added the `email.tlsname` config option.  This allows specifying the domain name used to validate the SMTP server's TLS certificate separately from the `email.smtp_host` to connect to. ([\#17849](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17849))

- Add endpoints to the Admin API to fetch the number of invites the provided user has sent after a given timestamp,
  fetch the number of rooms the provided user has joined after a given timestamp, and get report IDs of event
  reports against a provided user (i.e. where the user was the sender of the reported event). ([\#17948](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17948))
- Support stable account suspension from [MSC3823](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3823). ([\#17964](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17964))
- Add `macaroon_secret_key_path` config option. ([\#17983](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17983))

### Bugfixes

- Fix bug when rejecting withdrew invite with a `third_party_rules` module, where the invite would be stuck for the client. ([\#17930](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17930))
- Properly purge state groups tables when purging a room with the Admin API. ([\#18024](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18024))

### Improved Documentation

- Update `synapse.app.generic_worker` documentation to only recommend `GET` requests for stream writer routes by default, unless the worker is also configured as a stream writer. Contributed by @evoL. ([\#17954](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17954))
- Add documentation for the previously-undocumented `last_seen_ts` query parameter to the query user Admin API. ([\#17976](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17976))
- Improve documentation for the `TaskScheduler` class. ([\#17992](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17992))

- Update Alpine Linux Synapse Package Maintainer within the installation instructions. ([\#17846](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17846))

### Internal Changes

- Add `RoomID` & `EventID` rust types. ([\#17996](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17996))
- Fix various type errors across the codebase. ([\#17998](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17998))
- Disable DB statement timeout when doing a room purge since it can be quite long. ([\#18017](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18017))
- Remove some remaining uses of `twisted.internet.defer.returnValue`. Contributed by Colin Watson. ([\#18020](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18020))
- Refactor `get_profile` to no longer include fields with a value of `None`. ([\#18063](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18063))
