===========================
 
 This release fixes [a
 regression](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9853)
 in Synapse 1.32.0 that caused connected Prometheus instances to become
 unstable. If you

 1.32.1 and follow
 [these
 instructions](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/9854#issuecomment-823472183)
 to clean up any excess writeahead logs.
 
 Bugfixes
 --------
 
 - Fix a regression in Synapse 1.32.0 which caused Synapse to report
 large numbers of Prometheus time series, potentially overwhelming
 Prometheus instances.
