Synapse 1.45.0rc1 (2021-10-12)

==============================
 
 **Note:** We are aware of [a performance issue](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11049) introduced in Synapse v1.44.0, as well as [a bug](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11025) with the user directory when using application services. While this release candidate doesn't fix either of those issues, a second release candidate is expected to come out in a few days to address them.
 
 Media storage providers module that read from Synapse's configuration need changes as of this version, see the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/upgrade#upgrading-to-v1450) for more information.

+## Changes required to media storage provider modules when reading from the Synapse configuration object

+Media storage provider modules that read from the Synapse configuration object (i.e. that
+read the value of `hs.config.[...]`) now need to specify the configuration section they're
+reading from. This means that if a module reads the value of e.g. `hs.config.media_store_path`,
+it needs to replace it with `hs.config.media.media_store_path`.
