Okay folks, this is an important one. v0.99.5.1 will be the last release before we ship Synapse v1.0. __It is really important that you upgrade to v0.99.5.1 because it implements rooms [version 4](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/matthew/room_v4/proposals/2002-rooms-v4.md) - which is the room version that Synapse 1.0 will default to.__
|
||
|
||
This means that Synapse 1.0 servers will create new rooms as version 4 by default and servers that have not upgraded to at least v0.99.5.1 will not be able to join those rooms.
|
||
|
||
Over the coming days we will announce a release day for Synapse v1.0, the idea is to give admins 2 weeks notice so that anyone yet to configure their federation SSL certificate has time to do so. __This is important, failure to configure your certs will mean not being able to federate with v1.0 servers.__ If you are not sure if you certs are valid, you can test [here](https://federationtester.matrix.org/) and read [here](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/MSC1711_certificates_FAQ.md) for more info on what to do.
|
||
|
||
Aside from room v4, this release also includes the ability to blacklist specific IPs from federating as well as experimental support for edits and reactions. We are not quite ready to mark the feature 'done done', but it is very close. Watch out for news as the feature lands properly.
|
||
|
||
We're really close to v1.0 now, give us a few more days and we'll announce an official release date.
|
||
|
||
As ever, you can get the new update [here](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/releases/tag/v0.99.5.1) or any of the sources mentioned at [https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse). Note, Synapse is now available from PyPI, pick it up [here](https://pypi.org/project/matrix-synapse/).
