# Upgrading to v1.59.0
## Device name lookup over federation has been disabled by default
The names of user devices are no longer visible to users on other homeservers by default.
Device IDs are unaffected, as these are necessary to facilitate end-to-end encryption.
To re-enable this functionality, set the
[`allow_device_name_lookup_over_federation`](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.59/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#federation)
homeserver config option to `true`.
# Upgrading to v1.58.0
