Synapse 1.14.0 has landed.
|
|
|
|
This release contains OpenId Connect support, so that admins can configure a whole range of SSO options. We're really excited about what this means for helping users sign up and are considering it for matrix.org.
|
|
|
|
1.14.0 also contains finer grained cache configuration support, so that admins can tune caches in a more granular way. Our experience is that cache tuning can make a big difference to Synapse performance and over time we hope to continue improving cache tooling. Potentially we could even have caches auto-tune.
|
|
|
|
You'll also find support for [rooms v6](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/rooms/v6). v6 contains some small but important changes to improve the security of the room model. As with all room version upgrades we can't switch to v6 as the default version immediately since we need to build up a critical mass of servers that can support it. So upgrade and watch this space for when we switch over properly.
|
|
|
|
As an aside we continue to be very happy with using Redis for worker inter-communication and will likely recommend it for production use in the coming weeks.
|
|
