## Synapse 1.4.0
Synapse 1.4.0 [is out](https://matrix.org/blog/2019/10/03/synapse-1-4-0-released) with lots of changes related to privacy.
Its new defaults (which we adopt as well) mean that certain old data will automatically get purged after a certain number of days. 1.4.0 automatically garbage collects redacted messages (defaults to 7 days) and removes unused IP and user agent information stored in the user_ips table (defaults to 30 days). If you'd like to preserve this data, we encourage you to look at the `redaction_retention_period` and `user_ips_max_age` options (controllable by the `matrix_synapse_redaction_retention_period` and `matrix_synapse_user_ips_max_age` playbook variables, respectively) before doing the upgrade. If you'd like to keep data indefinitely, set these variables to `null` (e.g. `matrix_synapse_redaction_retention_period: ~`).
From now on the `trusted_key_servers` setting for Synapse is configurable. It still defaults to `matrix.org` just like it always has, but in a more explicit way now. If you'd like to use another trusted key server, adjust the `matrix_synapse_trusted_key_servers` playbook variable.
Synapse 1.4.0 also changes lots of things related to identity server integration.
Because Synapse will now by default be responsible for validating email addresses for user accounts, running without an identity server looks more feasible.
We still [have concerns](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/275/files#r331104117) over disabling the identity server by default, so for now it remains enabled.
