    Synapse 1.70.1 (2022-10-28)

    🚀 This release fixes some regressions that were discovered in 1.70.0.

    #14300 was previously reported to be a regression in 1.70.0 as well. However, we have since concluded that it was limited to the reporter and thus have not needed to include any fix for it in 1.70.1.

    🛠 Bugfixes

    • 🛠 Fix room creation being rate limited too aggressively since Synapse v1.69.0. (#14314)

    Synapse 1.70.0 (2022-10-26)
