  1. matrix-synapse-py3 (0.34.0) stable; urgency=medium
  2. matrix-synapse-py3 is intended as a drop-in replacement for the existing
  3. matrix-synapse package. When the package is installed, matrix-synapse will be
  4. automatically uninstalled. The replacement should be relatively seamless,
  5. however, please note the following important differences to matrix-synapse:
  6. * Most importantly, the matrix-synapse service now runs under Python 3 rather
  7. than Python 2.7.
  8. * Synapse is installed into its own virtualenv (in /opt/venvs/matrix-synapse)
  9. instead of using the system python libraries. (This may mean that you can
  10. remove a number of old dependencies with `apt autoremove`).
  11. * If you have previously manually installed any custom python extensions
  12. (such as matrix-synapse-rest-auth) into the system python directories, you
  13. will need to reinstall them in the new virtualenv. Please consult the
  14. documentation of the relevant extensions for further details.
  15. matrix-synapse-py3 will take over responsibility for the existing
  16. configuration files, including the matrix-synapse systemd service.
  17. Beware, however, that `apt purge matrix-synapse` will *disable* the
  18. matrix-synapse service (so that it will not be started on reboot), even
  19. though that service is no longer being provided by the matrix-synapse
  20. package. It can be re-enabled with `systemctl enable matrix-synapse`.
  21. The matrix.org team will continue to provide Python 2 `matrix-synapse`
  22. packages for the next couple of releases, to allow time for system
  23. administrators to test the new packages.
