Synapse 1.71.0rc2 (2022-11-04)

==============================
 
 Please note that, as announced in the release notes for Synapse 1.69.0, legacy Prometheus metric names are now disabled by default.
 They will be removed altogether in Synapse 1.73.0.
 If not already done, 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/v1.71/upgrade.html#upgrading-to-v1710) for more details.
 
 Improved Documentation
 ----------------------
 
 - Document the changes to monthly active user metrics due to deprecation of legacy Prometheus metric names. ([\#14358](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14358), [\#14360](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14360))
 
 Deprecations and Removals
 -------------------------
 
 - Disable legacy Prometheus metric names by default. They can still be re-enabled for now, but they will be removed altogether in Synapse 1.73.0. ([\#14353](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14353))
 
 Internal Changes
 ----------------
 
 - Run unit tests against Python 3.11. ([\#13812](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13812))

+## Legacy Prometheus metric names are now disabled by default
+
+Synapse v1.71.0 disables legacy Prometheus metric names by default.
+For administrators that still rely on them and have not yet had chance to update their
+uses of the metrics, it's still possible to specify `enable_legacy_metrics: true` in
+the configuration to re-enable them temporarily.
+
+Synapse v1.73.0 will **remove legacy metric names altogether** and at that point,
+it will no longer be possible to re-enable them.
+
+If you do not use metrics or you have already updated your Grafana dashboard(s),
+Prometheus console(s) and alerting rule(s), there is no action needed.
