Synapse 1.45.0 (2021-10-19)
===========================

No functional changes since Synapse 1.45.0rc2.

Known Issues
------------

- A suspected [performance regression](#11049) which was first reported after the release of 1.44.0 remains unresolved.

  We have not been able to identify a probable cause. Affected users report that setting up a federation sender worker appears to alleviate symptoms of the regression.

Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Reword changelog to clarify concerns about a suspected performance regression in 1.44.0. ([\#11117](#11117))

Synapse 1.45.0rc2 (2021-10-14)
==============================

This release candidate [fixes](#11053) a user directory [bug](#11025) present in 1.45.0rc1.

Known Issues
------------

- A suspected [performance regression](#11049) which was first reported after the release of 1.44.0 remains unresolved.

  We have not been able to identify a probable cause. Affected users report that setting up a federation sender worker appears to alleviate symptoms of the regression.

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a long-standing bug when using multiple event persister workers where events were not correctly sent down `/sync` due to a race. ([\#11045](#11045))

  user not in the `users` table. ([\#11053](#11053))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.44.0 when logging errors during oEmbed processing. ([\#11061](#11061))

Internal Changes
----------------

Synapse 1.45.0rc1 (2021-10-12)
==============================

**Note:** 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.

Known Issues
------------

- We are investigating [a performance issue](#11049) which was reported after the release of 1.44.0.
- We are aware of [a bug](#11025) with the user directory when using application services. A second release candidate is expected which will resolve this.
