+# Sygnal upgraded - ARM support and no longer requires a database
+
+The [Sygnal](docs/configuring-playbook-sygnal.md) push gateway has been upgraded from `v0.9.0` to `v0.10.1`.
+
+This is an optional component for the playbook, so most of our users wouldn't care about this announcement.
+
+Since this feels like a relatively big (and untested, as of yet) Sygnal change, we're putting up this changelog entry.
+
+The new version is also available for the ARM architecture. It also no longer requires a database anymore.
+If you need to downgrade to the previous version, changing `matrix_sygnal_version` or `matrix_sygnal_docker_image` will not be enough, as we've removed the `database` configuration completely. You'd need to switch to an earlier playbook commit.
