 Synapse 1.59.0rc1 (2022-05-10)
 ==============================
 
+This release makes several changes that server administrators should be aware of:
+
+- Device name lookup over federation is now disabled by default. ([\#12616](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12616))
+- The `synapse.app.appservice` is now deprecated. ([\#12452])(https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/12452))
+
+See [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1590) for more details.
+
+Additionally, this release removes the non-standard `m.login.jwt` login type from Synapse. It can be replaced with `org.matrix.login.jwt` for identical behaviour. This is only used if `jwt_config.enabled` is set to `true` in the configuration. ([\#12597](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12597))
+
