Alternatively, to install using pip a few changes may be needed as ArchLinux
defaults to python 3, but synapse currently assumes python 2.7 by default:
pip may be outdated (6.0.7-1 and needs to be upgraded to 6.0.8-1 )::
sudo pip2.7 install --upgrade pip

cd ~/.synapse
python2.7 -m synapse.app.homeserver \

Upgrading to v0.34.0
====================
This release removes the ``riot.im`` from the default list of trusted identity servers.
1. This release is the first to fully support Python 3. We recommend switching
to Python 3, as it has been shown to give performance improvements.
For users who have installed Synapse into a virtualenv, we recommend doing
this by creating a new virtualenv. For example::
virtualenv -p python3 ~/synapse/env3
source ~/synapse/env3/bin/activate
pip install matrix-synapse
You can then start synapse as normal, having activated the new virtualenv::
cd ~/synapse
source env3/bin/activate
synctl start
Users who have installed from distribution packages should see the relevant
package documentation.
* When upgrading to Python 3, you **must** make sure that your log files are
configured as UTF-8, by adding ``encoding: utf8`` to the
``RotatingFileHandler`` configuration (if you have one) in your
``<server>.log.config`` file. For example, if your ``log.config`` file
contains::
handlers:
file:
class: logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler
formatter: precise
filename: homeserver.log
maxBytes: 104857600
backupCount: 10
filters: [context]
console:
class: logging.StreamHandler
formatter: precise
filters: [context]
Then you should update this to be::
handlers:
file:
class: logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler
formatter: precise
filename: homeserver.log
maxBytes: 104857600
backupCount: 10
filters: [context]
encoding: utf8
console:
class: logging.StreamHandler
formatter: precise
filters: [context]
There is no need to revert this change if downgrading to Python 2.
2. This release removes the ``riot.im`` from the default list of trusted
identity servers.
If ``riot.im`` is in your homeserver's list of
``trusted_third_party_id_servers``, you should remove it. It was added in
case a hypothetical future identity server was put there. If you don't
remove it, users may be unable to deactivate their accounts.
