==============================
Please note that legacy Prometheus metric names are now deprecated and will be removed in Synapse 1.73.0.
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/v1.69/upgrade.html#upgrading-to-v1690) for more details.
Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
- Deprecate the `generate_short_term_login_token` method in favor of an async `create_login_token` method in the Module API. ([\#13842](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13842))
Internal Changes
----------------
- Ensure Synapse v1.69 works with upcoming database changes in v1.70. ([\#14045](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14045))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.68.0 where messages could not be sent in rooms with non-integer `notifications` power level. ([\#14073](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14073))
- Temporarily pin build-system requirements to workaround an incompatibility with poetry-core 1.3.0. This will be reverted before the v1.69.0 release proper, see [\#14079](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14079). ([\#14080](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14080))

If things like the signing key file are missing, let's just try to generate
them on startup.
Again, this is useful for k8s-like deployments where we just want to generate
keys on the first run.
* Improved section regarding server admin
Added steps describing how to elevate an existing user to administrator by manipulating a `postgres` database.

==============================
This RC reintroduces support for `account_threepid_delegates.email`, which was removed in 1.64.0rc1. It remains deprecated and will be removed altogether in a future release. ([\#13406](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13406))
Previously, TLS could only be used with STARTTLS.
Add a new option `force_tls`, where TLS is used from the start.
Implicit TLS is recommended over STARTLS,
see https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8314Fixes#8046.

* Admin API request explanation improved
Pointed out, that the Admin API is not accessible by default from any remote computer, but only from the PC `matrix-synapse` is running on.
Added a full, working example, making sure to include the cURL flag `-X`, which needs to be prepended to `GET`, `POST`, `PUT` etc. and listing the full query string including protocol, IP address and port.
* Admin API request explanation improved
* Apply suggestions from code review
Update changelog. Reword prose.

* Drop support for delegating email validation
Delegating email validation to an IS is insecure (since it allows the owner of
the IS to do a password reset on your HS), and has long been deprecated. It
will now cause a config error at startup.
* Update unit test which checks for email verification
Give it an `email` config instead of a threepid delegate
* Remove unused method `requestEmailToken`
* Simplify config handling for email verification
Rather than an enum and a boolean, all we need here is a single bool, which
says whether we are or are not doing email verification.
* update docs
* changelog
* upgrade.md: fix typo
* update version number
this will be in 1.64, not 1.63
* update version number
this one too
