Anyone know how to get a self-hosted synapse server updated to support all this?
Yes, I'm confused by the released messaging. It feels like there may be a new server requirement. Search this page for Synapse https://element.io/blog/element-x-ignition/ to see the link to the guide.
The proxy is needed until sliding sync is finalised and merged into the spec and implemented into clients
For now, you need to run a sliding-sync proxy besides synapse. They'll integrate it properly, but for now the focus was on getting it to work.
