Synapse 1.71.0 (2022-11-08)
===========================
Please note that, as announced in the release notes for Synapse 1.69.0, legacy Prometheus metric names are now disabled by default.
They will be removed altogether in Synapse 1.73.0.
If not already done, server administrators should update their dashboards and alerting rules to avoid using the deprecated metric names.
See the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.71/upgrade.html#upgrading-to-v1710) for more details.
**Note:** in line with our [deprecation policy](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/deprecation_policy.html) for platform dependencies, this will be the last release to support PostgreSQL 10, which reaches upstream end-of-life on November 10th, 2022. Future releases of Synapse will require PostgreSQL 11+.
No significant changes since 1.71.0rc2.
