 Synapse 1.57.0rc1 (2022-04-12)
 ==============================
 
-This version includes a [change](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/12209)
-to the way transaction IDs are managed for application services. If your
-deployment uses a dedicated worker for application service traffic, **it must
-be stopped** when the database is upgraded (which normally happens when the
-main process is upgraded), to ensure the change is made safely without any risk
-of reusing transaction IDs.
