-# Synapse 1.143.0rc2 (2025-11-18)
-
-## Internal Changes
-
-- Fixes docker image creation in the release workflow.
-
-
-
-# Synapse 1.143.0rc1 (2025-11-18)
-
-## Dropping support for PostgreSQL 13
-
-In line with our [deprecation policy](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/blob/develop/docs/deprecation_policy.md), we've dropped
-support for PostgreSQL 13, as it is no longer supported upstream.
-This release of Synapse requires PostgreSQL 14+.
-
-## Features
-
-- Support multiple config files in `register_new_matrix_user`. ([\#18784](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18784))
-- Remove authentication from `POST /_matrix/client/v1/delayed_events`, and allow calling this endpoint with the update action to take (`send`/`cancel`/`restart`) in the request path instead of the body. ([\#19152](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19152))
-
-## Bugfixes
-
-- Fixed a longstanding bug where background updates were only run on the `main` database. ([\#19181](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19181))
-- Fixed a bug introduced in v1.142.0 preventing subpaths in MAS endpoints from working. ([\#19186](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19186))
-- Fix the SQLite-to-PostgreSQL migration script to correctly migrate a boolean column in the `delayed_events` table. ([\#19155](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19155))
-
-## Improved Documentation
-
-- Improve documentation around streams, particularly ID generators and adding new streams. ([\#18943](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18943))
-
-## Deprecations and Removals
-
-- Remove support for PostgreSQL 13. ([\#19170](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19170))
-
-## Internal Changes
-
-- Provide additional servers with federation room directory results. ([\#18970](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18970))
-- Add a shortcut return when there are no events to purge. ([\#19093](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19093))
-- Write union types as `X | Y` where possible, as per PEP 604, added in Python 3.10. ([\#19111](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19111))
-- Reduce cardinality of `synapse_storage_events_persisted_events_sep_total` metric by removing `origin_entity` label. This also separates out events sent by local application services by changing the `origin_type` for such events to `application_service`. The `type` field also only tracks common event types, and anything else is bucketed under `*other*`. ([\#19133](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19133), [\#19168](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19168))
-- Run trial tests on Python 3.14 for PRs. ([\#19135](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19135))
-- Update `pyproject.toml` project metadata to be compatible with standard Python packaging tooling. ([\#19137](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19137))
-- Minor speed up of processing of inbound replication. ([\#19138](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19138), [\#19145](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19145), [\#19146](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19146))
-- Ignore recent Python language refactors from git blame (`.git-blame-ignore-revs`). ([\#19150](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19150))
-- Bump lower bounds of dependencies `parameterized` to `0.9.0` and `idna` to `3.3` as those are the first to advertise support for Python 3.10. ([\#19167](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19167))
-- Point out which event caused the exception when checking [MSC4293](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4293) redactions. ([\#19169](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19169))
-- Restore printing `sentinel` for the log record `request` when no logcontext is active. ([\#19172](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19172))
-- Add debug logs to track `Clock` utilities. ([\#19173](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19173))
-- Remove explicit python version skips in `cibuildwheel` config as it's no longer required after [#19137](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/19137). ([\#19177](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19177))
-- Fix potential lost logcontext when `PerDestinationQueue.shutdown(...)` is called. ([\#19178](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19178))
-- Fix bad deferred logcontext handling across the codebase. ([\#19180](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19180))

-
-## Bugfixes
-
-- Fixed a bug introduced in v1.142.0 preventing subpaths in MAS endpoints from working. ([\#19186](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19186))
-

-
-
-# Synapse 1.142.0 (2025-11-11)
-
-## Dropped support for Python 3.9
-
-This release drops support for Python 3.9, in line with our [dependency
-deprecation
-policy](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/deprecation_policy.html#platform-dependencies),
-as it is now [end of life](https://endoflife.date/python).
-
-## SQLite 3.40.0+ is now required
-
-The minimum supported SQLite version has been increased from 3.27.0 to 3.40.0.
-
-If you use current versions of the
-[matrixorg/synapse](setup/installation.html#docker-images-and-ansible-playbooks)
-Docker images, no action is required.
-
-
-## Deprecation of MacOS Python wheels
-
-The team has decided to deprecate and eventually stop publishing python wheels
-for MacOS. This is a burden on the team, and we're not aware of any parties
-that use them. Synapse docker images will continue to work on MacOS, as will
-building Synapse from source (though note this requires a Rust compiler).
-
-At present, publishing MacOS Python wheels will continue for the next release
-(1.143.0), but will not be available after that (1.144.0+). If you do make use
-of these wheels downstream, please reach out to us in
-[#synapse-dev:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#synapse-dev:matrix.org). We'd
-love to hear from you!
-
-## Internal Changes
-
-- Properly stop building wheels for Python 3.9 and free-threaded CPython. ([\#19154](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19154))
-
-
-
-
-# Synapse 1.142.0rc4 (2025-11-07)
-
-## Bugfixes
-
-- Fix a bug introduced in 1.142.0rc1 where any attempt to configure `matrix_authentication_service.secret_path` would prevent the homeserver from starting up. ([\#19144](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19144))
-
-
-
-
-# Synapse 1.142.0rc3 (2025-11-04)
-
-## Internal Changes
-
-- Update release scripts to prevent building wheels for free-threaded Python, as Synapse does not currently support it. ([\#19140](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19140))
-
-
-# Synapse 1.142.0rc2 (2025-11-04)
-
-

-- Add an [Admin API](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/administration/admin_api/index.html)
-  to allow an admin to fetch the space/room hierarchy for a given space. ([\#19021](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19021))
-
-## Bugfixes

-# Synapse 1.141.0 (2025-10-29)
-
-## Deprecation of MacOS Python wheels
-
-The team has decided to deprecate and eventually stop publishing python wheels
-for MacOS. This is a burden on the team, and we're not aware of any parties
-that use them. Synapse docker images will continue to work on MacOS, as will
-building Synapse from source (though note this requires a Rust compiler).
-
-Publishing MacOS Python wheels will continue for the next few releases. If you
-do make use of these wheels downstream, please reach out to us in
-[#synapse-dev:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#synapse-dev:matrix.org). We'd
-love to hear from you!
-
-
-## Docker images now based on Debian `trixie` with Python 3.13
-
-The Docker images are now based on Debian `trixie` and use Python 3.13. If you
-are using the Docker images as a base image you may need to e.g. adjust the
-paths you mount any additional Python packages at.
-
-No significant changes since 1.141.0rc2.

-
-## Bugfixes
-
-- Fix a bug introduced in 1.138.3 where a client could receive an Internal Server Error if they set `device_keys: null` in the request to [`POST /_matrix/client/v3/keys/upload`](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.16/client-server-api/#post_matrixclientv3keysupload).

-
-## 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.

-# 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**.
-

-# Client-Server API Extensions
-
-Server administrators can set special account data to change how the Client-Server API behaves for
-their clients. Setting the account data, or having it already set, as a non-admin has no effect.
-
-All configuration options can be set through the `io.element.synapse.admin_client_config` global 
-account data on the admin's user account. 
-
-Example:
-```
-PUT /_matrix/client/v3/user/{adminUserId}/account_data/io.element.synapse.admin_client_config
-{
-    "return_soft_failed_events": true
-}
-```
-
-## See soft failed events
-
-Learn more about soft failure from [the spec](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.14/server-server-api/#soft-failure).
-
-To receive soft failed events in APIs like `/sync` and `/messages`, set `return_soft_failed_events`
-to `true` in the admin client config. When `false`, the normal behaviour of these endpoints is to
-exclude soft failed events.
-
-**Note**: If the policy server flagged the event as spam and that caused soft failure, that will be indicated
-in the event's `unsigned` content like so:
-
-```json
-{
-  "type": "m.room.message",
-  "other": "event_fields_go_here",
-  "unsigned": {
-    "io.element.synapse.soft_failed": true,
-    "io.element.synapse.policy_server_spammy": true
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Default: `false`
-
-## See events marked spammy by policy servers
-
-Learn more about policy servers from [MSC4284](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4284).
-
-Similar to `return_soft_failed_events`, clients logged in with admin accounts can see events which were
-flagged by the policy server as spammy (and thus soft failed) by setting `return_policy_server_spammy_events`
-to `true`.
-
-`return_policy_server_spammy_events` may be `true` while `return_soft_failed_events` is `false` to only see
-policy server-flagged events. When `return_soft_failed_events` is `true` however, `return_policy_server_spammy_events`
-is always `true`.
-
-Events which were flagged by the policy will be flagged as `io.element.synapse.policy_server_spammy` in the
-event's `unsigned` content, like so:
-
-```json
-{
-  "type": "m.room.message",
-  "other": "event_fields_go_here",
-  "unsigned": {
-    "io.element.synapse.soft_failed": true,
-    "io.element.synapse.policy_server_spammy": true
-  }

-# Admin Space Hierarchy Endpoint
-
-This API allows an admin to fetch the space/room hierarchy for a given space, 
-returning details about that room and any children the room may have, paginating
-over the space tree in a depth-first manner to locate child rooms. This is
-functionally similar to the [CS Hierarchy](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.16/client-server-api/#get_matrixclientv1roomsroomidhierarchy) endpoint but does not check for
-room membership when returning room summaries.
-
-The endpoint does not query other servers over federation about remote rooms
-that the server has not joined. This is a deliberate trade-off: while this
-means it will leave some holes in the hierarchy that we could otherwise
-sometimes fill in, it significantly improves the endpoint's response time and
-the admin endpoint is designed for managing rooms local to the homeserver
-anyway.
-
-**Parameters**
-
-The following query parameters are available:
-
-* `from` - An optional pagination token, provided when there are more rooms to 
-    return than the limit. 
-* `limit` - Maximum amount of rooms to return. Must be a non-negative integer,
-   defaults to `50`.
-* `max_depth` - The maximum depth in the tree to explore, must be a non-negative
-   integer. 0 would correspond to just the root room, 1 would include just the
-   root room's children, etc.  If not provided will recurse into the space tree without limit.

 On a similar note, SQLite does not generally have a concept of "supported 
 release"; bugfixes are published for the latest minor release only. We chose to
 track Debian's oldstable as this is relatively conservative, predictably updated
-and is consistent with the `.deb` packages released by Matrix.org.
-
-
-## Application dependencies
-
-For application-level Python dependencies, we often specify loose version constraints
-(ex. `>=X.Y.Z`) to be forwards compatible with any new versions. Upper bounds (`<A.B.C`)
-are only added when necessary to prevent known incompatibilities.
-
-When selecting a minimum version, while we are mindful of the impact on downstream
-package maintainers, our primary focus is on the maintainability and progress of Synapse
-itself.
-
-For developers, a Python dependency version can be considered a "no-brainer" upgrade once it is
-available in both the latest [Debian Stable](https://packages.debian.org/stable/) and
-[Ubuntu LTS](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu) repositories. No need to burden yourself with
-extra scrutiny or consideration at this point.
-
-We aggressively update Rust dependencies. Since these are statically linked and managed
-entirely by `cargo` during build, they *can* pose no ongoing maintenance burden on others.
-This allows us to freely upgrade to leverage the latest ecosystem advancements assuming
-they don't have their own system-level dependencies.
-
-
-### Context
-
-Because Python dependencies can easily be managed in a virtual environment, we are less
-concerned about the criteria for selecting minimum versions. The only thing of concern
-is making sure we're not making it unnecessarily difficult for downstream package
-maintainers. Generally, this just means avoiding the bleeding edge for a few months.
-
-The situation for Rust dependencies is fundamentally different. For packagers, the
-concerns around Python dependency versions do not apply. The `cargo` tool handles
-downloading and building all libraries to satisfy dependencies, and these libraries are
-statically linked into the final binary. This means that from a packager's perspective,
-the Rust dependency versions are an internal build detail, not a runtime dependency to
-be managed on the target system. Consequently, we have even greater flexibility to
-upgrade Rust dependencies as needed for the project. Some distros (e.g. Fedora) do
-package Rust libraries, but this appears to be the outlier rather than the norm.

-## Deferred callbacks
-
-When a deferred callback is called, it inherits the current logcontext. The deferred
-callback chain can resume a coroutine, which if following our logcontext rules, will
-restore its own logcontext, then run:
-
- - until it yields control back to the reactor, setting the sentinel logcontext
- - or until it finishes, restoring the logcontext it was started with (calling context)
-
-This behavior creates two specific issues:
-
-**Issue 1:** The first issue is that the callback may have reset the logcontext to the
-sentinel before returning. This means our calling function will continue with the
-sentinel logcontext instead of the logcontext it was started with (bad).
-
-**Issue 2:** The second issue is that the current logcontext that called the deferred
-callback could finish before the callback finishes (bad).
-
-In the following example, the deferred callback is called with the "main" logcontext and
-runs until we yield control back to the reactor in the `await` inside `clock.sleep(0)`.
-Since `clock.sleep(0)` follows our logcontext rules, it sets the logcontext to the
-sentinel before yielding control back to the reactor. Our `main` function continues with
-the sentinel logcontext (first bad thing) instead of the "main" logcontext. Then the
-`with LoggingContext("main")` block exits, finishing the "main" logcontext and yielding
-control back to the reactor again. Finally, later on when `clock.sleep(0)` completes,
-our `with LoggingContext("competing")` block exits, and restores the previous "main"
-logcontext which has already finished, resulting in `WARNING: Re-starting finished log
-context main` and leaking the `main` logcontext into the reactor which will then
-erronously be associated with the next task the reactor picks up.
-
-```python
-async def competing_callback():
-    # Since this is run with the "main" logcontext, when the "competing"
-    # logcontext exits, it will restore the previous "main" logcontext which has
-    # already finished and results in "WARNING: Re-starting finished log context main"
-    # and leaking the `main` logcontext into the reactor.
-    with LoggingContext("competing"):
-        await clock.sleep(0)
-
-def main():
-    with LoggingContext("main"):
-        d = defer.Deferred()
-        d.addCallback(lambda _: defer.ensureDeferred(competing_callback()))
-        # Call the callback within the "main" logcontext.
-        d.callback(None)
-        # Bad: This will be logged against sentinel logcontext
-        logger.debug("ugh")
-
-main()
-```
-
-**Solution 1:** We could of course fix this by following the general rule of "always
-await your awaitables":
-
-```python
-async def main():
-    with LoggingContext("main"):
-        d = defer.Deferred()
-        d.addCallback(lambda _: defer.ensureDeferred(competing_callback()))
-        d.callback(None)
-        # Wait for `d` to finish before continuing so the "main" logcontext is
-        # still active. This works because `d` already follows our logcontext
-        # rules. If not, we would also have to use `make_deferred_yieldable(d)`.
-        await d
-        # Good: This will be logged against the "main" logcontext
-        logger.debug("phew")
-``` 
-
-**Solution 2:** We could also fix this by surrounding the call to `d.callback` with a
-`PreserveLoggingContext`, which will reset the logcontext to the sentinel before calling
-the callback, and restore the "main" logcontext afterwards before continuing the `main`
-function. This solves the problem because when the "competing" logcontext exits, it will
-restore the sentinel logcontext which is never finished by its nature, so there is no
-warning and no leakage into the reactor.
-
-```python
-async def main():
-    with LoggingContext("main"):
-        d = defer.Deferred()
-        d.addCallback(lambda _: defer.ensureDeferred(competing_callback()))
-        d.callback(None)
-        with PreserveLoggingContext():
-            # Call the callback with the sentinel logcontext.
-            d.callback(None)
-        # Good: This will be logged against the "main" logcontext
-        logger.debug("phew")
-```
-
-**Solution 3:** But let's say you *do* want to run (fire-and-forget) the deferred
-callback in the current context without running into issues:
-
-We can solve the first issue by using `run_in_background(...)` to run the callback in
-the current logcontext and it handles the magic behind the scenes of a) restoring the
-calling logcontext before returning to the caller and b) resetting the logcontext to the
-sentinel after the deferred completes and we yield control back to the reactor to avoid
-leaking the logcontext into the reactor.
-
-To solve the second issue, we can extend the lifetime of the "main" logcontext by
-avoiding the `LoggingContext`'s context manager lifetime methods
-(`__enter__`/`__exit__`). We can still set "main" as the current logcontext by using
-`PreserveLoggingContext` and passing in the "main" logcontext.
-
-
-```python
-async def main():
-    main_context = LoggingContext("main")
-    with PreserveLoggingContext(main_context):
-        d = defer.Deferred()
-        d.addCallback(lambda _: defer.ensureDeferred(competing_callback()))
-        # The whole lambda will be run in the "main" logcontext. But we're using
-        # a trick to return the deferred `d` itself so that `run_in_background`
-        # will wait on that to complete and reset the logcontext to the sentinel
-        # when it does to avoid leaking the "main" logcontext into the reactor.
-        run_in_background(lambda: (d.callback(None), d)[1])
-        # Good: This will be logged against the "main" logcontext
-        logger.debug("phew")
-
-...
-
-# Wherever possible, it's best to finish the logcontext by calling `__exit__` at some
-# point. This allows us to catch bugs if we later try to erroneously restart a finished
-# logcontext.
-#
-# Since the "main" logcontext stores the `LoggingContext.previous_context` when it is
-# created, we can wrap this call in `PreserveLoggingContext()` to restore the correct
-# previous logcontext. Our goal is to have the calling context remain unchanged after
-# finishing the "main" logcontext.
-with PreserveLoggingContext():
-    # Finish the "main" logcontext
-    with main_context:
-        # Empty block - We're just trying to call `__exit__` on the "main" context
-        # manager to finish it. We can't call `__exit__` directly as the code expects us
-        # to `__enter__` before calling `__exit__` to `start`/`stop` things
-        # appropriately. And in any case, it's probably best not to call the internal
-        # methods directly.
-        pass
-```
-
-The same thing applies if you have some deferreds stored somewhere which you want to
-callback in the current logcontext.
-
-
-### Deferred errbacks and cancellations
-
-The same care should be taken when calling errbacks on deferreds. An errback and
-callback act the same in this regard (see section above).
-
-```python
-d = defer.Deferred()
-d.addErrback(some_other_function)
-d.errback(failure)
-```
-
-Additionally, cancellation is the same as directly calling the errback with a

-The minimum supported SQLite version has been increased from 3.27.0 to 3.40.0.
-
-If you use current versions of the

-## Docker images now based on Debian `trixie` with Python 3.13
-
-The Docker images are now based on Debian `trixie` and use Python 3.13. If you
-are using the Docker images as a base image you may need to e.g. adjust the
-paths you mount any additional Python packages at.

-## Users of `synapse-s3-storage-provider` must update the module to `v1.6.0`
-
-Deployments that make use of the
-[synapse-s3-storage-provider](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-s3-storage-provider/)
-module must update it to
-[v1.6.0](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-s3-storage-provider/releases/tag/v1.6.0),
-otherwise users will be unable to upload or download media.
-
-# Upgrading to v1.139.0
-
-## `/register` requests from old application service implementations may break when using MAS
-
-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. This is a
-result of [MSC4190: Device management for application
-services](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4190) which
-adds new endpoints for application services to create encryption-ready devices
-with other than `/login` or `/register` without `inhibit_login=true`.
-
-If an application service you use starts to fail with the mentioned error,
-ensure it is up to date. If it is, then kindly let the author know that they
-need to update their implementation to call `/register` with
-`inhibit_login=true`.

-## Drop support for Ubuntu 24.10 Oracular Oriole, and add support for Ubuntu 25.04 Plucky Puffin
-
-Ubuntu 24.10 Oracular Oriole [has been end-of-life since 10 Jul
-2025](https://endoflife.date/ubuntu). This release drops support for Ubuntu
-24.10, and in its place adds support for Ubuntu 25.04 Plucky Puffin.
-
-This notice also applies to the v1.139.0 release.
-
-# Upgrading to v1.136.0
-
-## Deprecate `run_as_background_process` exported as part of the module API interface in favor of `ModuleApi.run_as_background_process`
-
-The `run_as_background_process` function is now a method of the `ModuleApi` class. If
-you were using the function directly from the module API, it will continue to work fine
-but the background process metrics will not include an accurate `server_name` label.
-This kind of metric labeling isn't relevant for many use cases and is used to
-differentiate Synapse instances running in the same Python process (relevant to Synapse
-Pro: Small Hosts). We recommend updating your usage to use the new
-`ModuleApi.run_as_background_process` method to stay on top of future changes.
-
-<details>
-<summary>Example <code>run_as_background_process</code> upgrade</summary>
-
-Before:
-```python
-class MyModule:
-    def __init__(self, module_api: ModuleApi) -> None:
-        run_as_background_process(__name__ + ":setup_database", self.setup_database)
-```
-
-After:
-```python
-class MyModule:
-    def __init__(self, module_api: ModuleApi) -> None:
-        module_api.run_as_background_process(__name__ + ":setup_database", self.setup_database)
-```
-
-</details>
-
-## Metric labels have changed on `synapse_federation_last_received_pdu_time` and `synapse_federation_last_sent_pdu_time`
-
-Previously, the `synapse_federation_last_received_pdu_time` and
-`synapse_federation_last_sent_pdu_time` metrics both used the `server_name` label to
-differentiate between different servers that we send and receive events from.
-
-Since we're now using the `server_name` label to differentiate between different Synapse
-homeserver instances running in the same process, these metrics have been changed as follows:
-
- - `synapse_federation_last_received_pdu_time` now uses the `origin_server_name` label
- - `synapse_federation_last_sent_pdu_time` now uses the `destination_server_name` label
-
-The Grafana dashboard JSON in `contrib/grafana/synapse.json` has been updated to reflect
-this change but you will need to manually update your own existing Grafana dashboards
-using these metrics.
-
-## Stable integration with Matrix Authentication Service
-
-Support for [Matrix Authentication Service (MAS)](https://github.com/element-hq/matrix-authentication-service) is now stable, with a simplified configuration.
-This stable integration requires MAS 0.20.0 or later.
-
-The existing `experimental_features.msc3861` configuration option is now deprecated and will be removed in Synapse v1.137.0.
-
-Synapse deployments already using MAS should now use the new configuration options:
-
-```yaml
-matrix_authentication_service:
-  # Enable the MAS integration
-  enabled: true
-  # The base URL where Synapse will contact MAS
-  endpoint: http://localhost:8080
-  # The shared secret used to authenticate MAS requests, must be the same as `matrix.secret` in the MAS configuration
-  # See https://element-hq.github.io/matrix-authentication-service/reference/configuration.html#matrix
-  secret: "asecurerandomsecretstring"
-```
-
-They must remove the `experimental_features.msc3861` configuration option from their configuration.
-
-They can also remove the client previously used by Synapse [in the MAS configuration](https://element-hq.github.io/matrix-authentication-service/reference/configuration.html#clients) as it is no longer in use.
-
-# Upgrading to v1.135.0
-
-## `on_user_registration` module API callback may now run on any worker
-
-Previously, the `on_user_registration` callback would only run on the main
-process. Modules relying on this callback must assume that they may now be
-called from any worker, not just the main process.
-
-# Upgrading to v1.134.0
-
-## ICU bundled with Synapse
-
-Synapse now uses the Rust `icu` library for improved user search. Installing the
-native ICU library on your system is no longer required.
-
 # Upgrading to v1.130.0
 
 ## Documented endpoint which can be delegated to a federation worker
 
 The endpoint `^/_matrix/federation/v1/version$` can be delegated to a federation
-worker. This is not new behaviour, but had not been documented yet. The
