WARNING
=======
**Synapse is currently in a state of rapid development, and not all features are yet functional.
Critically, some security features are still in development, which means Synapse can *not*
be considered secure or reliable at this point.** For instance:
- **SSL Certificates used by server-server federation are not yet validated.**
- **Room permissions are not yet enforced on traffic received via federation.**
- **Homeservers do not yet cryptographically sign their events to avoid tampering**
- Default configuration provides open signup to the service from the internet
Despite this, we believe Synapse is more than useful as a way for experimenting and
exploring Synapse, and the missing features will land shortly. **Until then, please do *NOT*
use Synapse for any remotely important or secure communication.**
