Synapse 1.48.0 (2021-11-30)
===========================

This release removes support for the long-deprecated `trust_identity_server_for_password_resets` configuration flag.

This release also fixes some performance issues with some background database updates introduced in Synapse 1.47.0.

No significant changes since 1.48.0rc1.

Synapse 1.48.0rc1 (2021-11-25)
==============================

Features
--------

- Experimental support for the thread relation defined in [MSC3440](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3440). ([\#11161](matrix-org/synapse#11161))

- Support the stable version of [MSC2778](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2778): the `m.login.application_service` login type. Contributed by @tulir. ([\#11335](matrix-org/synapse#11335))
- Add a new version of delete room admin API `DELETE /_synapse/admin/v2/rooms/<room_id>` to run it in the background. Contributed by @dklimpel. ([\#11223](matrix-org/synapse#11223))
- Allow the admin [Delete Room API](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/admin_api/rooms.html#delete-room-api) to block a room without the need to join it. ([\#11228](matrix-org/synapse#11228))

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

- Suggest users of the Debian packages add configuration to `/etc/matrix-synapse/conf.d/` to prevent, upon upgrade, being asked to choose between their configuration and the maintainer's. ([\#11281](matrix-org/synapse#11281))
- Fix typos in the documentation for the `username_available` admin API. Contributed by Stanislav Motylkov. ([\#11286](matrix-org/synapse#11286))

This corrects the type hints on IHostnameResolver.resolveHostName:

* addressTypes is a sequence of IAddress types, not IAddress instances.
* The return value should be IHostResolution, not IResolutionReceiver.
