Matrix (Synapse/Element) - Package Updates
-
For those asking about the recent releases, there's been a regression somewhere in Synapse with how auth providers are handled. You can read up here - https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10171 . I opened https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-synapse-ldap3/issues/123 and https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-synapse-ldap3/issues/124 . Luckily, there is a workaround, so we can fix things in the package.
