# MSC3904: Room version 10 as a default | ||
|
||
Enough time has passed to allow the public federation to upgrade their servers to support room | ||
version 10, though with some caveats (see "potential issues"). This proposal aims to make v10 the | ||
default room version. | ||
|
||
## Proposal | ||
|
||
The specification adopts v10 as the suggested default room version, making no changes to the stability | ||
of any room versions. As of writing, v9 is currently the suggested room version. | ||
|
||
Room version 10 is currently published here: https://spec.matrix.org/v1.4/rooms/v10/ | ||
|
||
## Potential issues | ||
|
||
Servers will be encouraged to update their config/internal defaults to use v10 instead of v9. This | ||
is considered a good problem to have. | ||
|
||
Note that servers are not required to honour the default room version due to it being a suggestion | ||
in the specification, however they might fall behind as other servers set their defaults accordingly. | ||
|
||
Some server implementations, like Synapse, support configurable default room versions: servers which | ||
have set this flag will not necessarily be affected by this change. | ||
|
||
As of writing (2022-10-09) Synapse and Dendrite both have supported Room version 10 since 2022-08-02 | ||
when Synapse in 1.64.0 added its support. Dendrite added its support back in 2022-06-01. This leaves | ||
Conduit as the only major implementation to lack v10 support. | ||
|
||
Conduit status for v10 is not implemented as of (2022-10-09) but has been reported that its getting close | ||
by Conduit developer Timo. Ruma has it implemented and the Catalyst Conduit fork has v10 working | ||
for about as long as Synapse has had its implementation based on the memory of the Author of this MSC. | ||

## Alternatives | ||
|
||
None relevant. | ||
|
||
## Security considerations | ||
|
||
None relevant. | ||
|
||
## Unstable prefix | ||
|
||
None relevant - servers can already choose a different default room version legally. This MSC | ||
just formalizes v10 as the default. |
