Do we also want to update the documentation in the sample config?

Synapse 1.60.0rc2 (2022-05-27) ============================== This release of Synapse adds a unique index to the `state_group_edges` table, in order to prevent accidentally introducing duplicate information (for example, because a database backup was restored multiple times). If your Synapse database already has duplicate rows in this table, this could fail with an error and require manual remediation. Additionally, the signature of the `check_event_for_spam` module callback has changed. The previous signature has been deprecated and remains working for now. Module authors should update their modules to use the new signature where possible. See [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1600) for more details. Features -------- - Add an option allowing users to use their password to reauthenticate for privileged actions even though password login is disabled. ([\#12883](#12883)) Bugfixes -------- - Explicitly close `ijson` coroutines once we are done with them, instead of leaving the garbage collector to close them. ([\#12875](#12875)) Internal Changes ---------------- - Improve URL previews by not including the content of media tags in the generated description. ([\#12887](#12887))

Synapse 1.59.0 (2022-05-17) =========================== Synapse 1.59 makes several changes that server administrators should be aware of: - Device name lookup over federation is now disabled by default. ([\#12616](matrix-org/synapse#12616)) - The `synapse.app.appservice` and `synapse.app.user_dir` worker application types are now deprecated.

Fixes #12844.
This splits up the use of passwords for login and for reauthentication (for privileged operations, e.g. deleting devices, setting cross-signing keys, ...).
Registration is unaffected.
