Summary

Matrix is an ambitious new ecosystem for open federated Instant Messaging and

VoIP. Synapse is a reference "homeserver" implementation of Matrix from the

core development team at matrix.org, written in Python/Twisted. It is intended

to showcase the concept of Matrix and let folks see the spec in the context of

a coded base and let you run your own homeserver and generally help bootstrap

the ecosystem.

Upstream release notes: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/CHANGES.md#synapse-1240rc1-2020-12-02 This release

includes some minor changes which may affect homeserver admins:
