 Synapse 1.69.0rc1 (2022-10-04)
 ==============================
 
+
+Please note that legacy Prometheus metric names are now deprecated and will be removed in Synapse 1.73.0.
+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/v1.69/upgrade.html#upgrading-to-v1690) for more details.
