Synapse 1.56.0rc1 (2022-03-29)
==============================

Synapse will now refuse to start up if open registration is enabled, in order to help reduce
the number of homeservers that have accidentally left registration publicly accessible. These

Synapse will now refuse to start up if open registration is enabled, in order to help mitigate
abuse across the federation. If you would like
to provide registration to anyone, consider adding [email](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/8a519f8abc6de772167c2cca101d22ee2052fafc/docs/sample_config.yaml#L1285),
[recaptcha](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/CAPTCHA_SETUP.html)
or [token-based verification](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/usage/administration/admin_api/registration_tokens.html)
or [token-based](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/usage/administration/admin_api/registration_tokens.html) verification
in order to prevent automated registration from bad actors.

This check can be disabled by setting the `enable_registration_without_verification` option in your
homeserver configuration file. More details are available in the
homeserver configuration file to `true`. More details are available in the
[upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/upgrade.html#open-registration-without-verification-is-now-disabled-by-default).
