+ Synapse will now refuse to start up if open registration is enabled,
+ in order to help mitigate abuse across the federation. If you would
+ like to provide registration to anyone, consider adding email,
+ recaptcha or token-based verification in order to prevent automated
+ registration from bad actors. This check can be disabled by setting
+ the enable_registration_without_verification option in your
+ homeserver configuration file to true. More details are available in
+ the upgrade notes[0].
+
+ Synapse will additionally now refuse to start when using PostgreSQL
+ with a non-C values for COLLATE and CTYPE, unless the config flag
+ allow_unsafe_locale, found in the database section of the
+ configuration file, is set to true. See the upgrade notes[1] for
+ details.
