Synapse 1.32.0rc1 (2021-04-13) ============================== **Note:** This release requires Python 3.6+ and Postgres 9.6+ or SQLite 3.22+. This release removes the deprecated `GET /_synapse/admin/v1/users/<user_id>` admin API. Please use the [v2 API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/admin_api/user_admin_api.rst#query-user-account) instead, which has improved capabilities. This release requires Application Services to use type `m.login.application_services` when registering users via the `/_matrix/client/r0/register` endpoint to comply with the spec. Please ensure your Application Services are up to date. Features -------- - Add a Synapse module for routing presence updates between users. ([\#9491](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9491)) - Add an admin API to manage ratelimit for a specific user.

([\#9654](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9654)) - Add `order_by` to the admin API `GET /_synapse/admin/v2/users`. Contributed by @dklimpel.

([\#9401](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9401)) - Make `/_matrix/client/r0/register` expect a type of `m.login.application_service` when an Application Service registers a user, to align with [the relevant spec](https://spec.matrix.org/unstable/application-service-api/#server-admin-style-permissions).
