Patrick Cloke 13a82768ac Synapse 1.13.0 (2020-05-19) 
===========================
 
 This release brings some potential changes necessary for certain
 configurations of Synapse:
 
 * If your Synapse is configured to use SSO and have a custom
   `sso_redirect_confirm_template_dir` configuration option set, you will need
   to duplicate the new `sso_auth_confirm.html`, `sso_auth_success.html` and
   `sso_account_deactivated.html` templates into that directory.
 * Synapse plugins using the `complete_sso_login` method of
   `synapse.module_api.ModuleApi` should instead switch to the async/await
   version, `complete_sso_login_async`, which includes additional checks. The
   former version is now deprecated.
 * A bug was introduced in Synapse 1.4.0 which could cause the room directory
   to be incomplete or empty if Synapse was upgraded directly from v1.2.1 or
   earlier, to versions between v1.4.0 and v1.12.x.
 
 Please review [UPGRADE.rst](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/UPGRADE.rst)
 for more details on these changes and for general upgrade guidance.
 
 Notice of change to the default `git` branch for Synapse
 --------------------------------------------------------
 
 With the release of Synapse 1.13.0, the default `git` branch for Synapse has
 changed to `develop`, which is the development tip. This is more consistent with
 common practice and modern `git` usage.
 
 The `master` branch, which tracks the latest release, is still available. It is
 recommended that developers and distributors who have scripts which run builds
 using the default branch of Synapse should therefore consider pinning their
 scripts to `master`.
 
 Features
 --------
 
 - Extend the `web_client_location` option to accept an absolute URL to use as a redirect. Adds a warning when running the web client on the same hostname as homeserver. Contributed by Martin Milata. ([\#7006](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7006))

Merge tag 'v1.13.0'

Synapse 1.13.0 (2020-05-19)
===========================

This release brings some potential changes necessary for certain
configurations of Synapse:

* If your Synapse is configured to use SSO and have a custom
  `sso_redirect_confirm_template_dir` configuration option set, you will need
  to duplicate the new `sso_auth_confirm.html`, `sso_auth_success.html` and
  `sso_account_deactivated.html` templates into that directory.
* Synapse plugins using the `complete_sso_login` method of
  `synapse.module_api.ModuleApi` should instead switch to the async/await
  version, `complete_sso_login_async`, which includes additional checks. The
  former version is now deprecated.
* A bug was introduced in Synapse 1.4.0 which could cause the room directory
  to be incomplete or empty if Synapse was upgraded directly from v1.2.1 or
  earlier, to versions between v1.4.0 and v1.12.x.

Please review [UPGRADE.rst](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/UPGRADE.rst)
for more details on these changes and for general upgrade guidance.

Notice of change to the default `git` branch for Synapse
--------------------------------------------------------

With the release of Synapse 1.13.0, the default `git` branch for Synapse has
changed to `develop`, which is the development tip. This is more consistent with
common practice and modern `git` usage.

The `master` branch, which tracks the latest release, is still available. It is
recommended that developers and distributors who have scripts which run builds
using the default branch of Synapse should therefore consider pinning their
scripts to `master`.
