Synapse 1.57.0 (2022-04-19)
===========================

This version includes a [change](matrix-org/synapse#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.

See the [upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/v1.57.0rc1/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1570) for more details.

No significant changes since 1.57.0rc1.

Synapse 1.57.0rc1 (2022-04-12)
==============================

Features
--------

- Send device list changes to application services as specified by [MSC3202](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3202), using unstable prefixes. The `msc3202_transaction_extensions` experimental homeserver config option must be enabled and `org.matrix.msc3202: true` must be present in the application service registration file for device list changes to be sent. The "left" field is currently always empty. ([\#11881](matrix-org/synapse#11881))
- Optimise fetching large quantities of missing room state over federation. ([\#12040](matrix-org/synapse#12040))
- Offload the `update_client_ip` background job from the main process to the background worker, when using Redis-based replication. ([\#12251](matrix-org/synapse#12251))
- Move `update_client_ip` background job from the main process to the background worker. ([\#12252](matrix-org/synapse#12252))
- Add a module callback to react to new 3PID (email address, phone number) associations. ([\#12302](matrix-org/synapse#12302))
- Add a configuration option to remove a specific set of rooms from sync responses. ([\#12310](matrix-org/synapse#12310))
- Add a module callback to react to account data changes. ([\#12327](matrix-org/synapse#12327))
- Allow setting user admin status using the module API. Contributed by Famedly. ([\#12341](matrix-org/synapse#12341))
- Reduce overhead of restarting synchrotrons. ([\#12367](matrix-org/synapse#12367), [\#12372](matrix-org/synapse#12372))
- Update `/messages` to use historic pagination tokens if no `from` query parameter is given. ([\#12370](matrix-org/synapse#12370))
- Add a module API for reading and writing global account data. ([\#12391](matrix-org/synapse#12391))
- Support the stable `v1` endpoint for `/relations`, per [MSC2675](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2675). ([\#12403](matrix-org/synapse#12403))
- Include bundled aggregations in search results
  ([MSC3666](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3666)). ([\#12436](matrix-org/synapse#12436))

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a long-standing bug where updates to the server notices user profile (display name/avatar URL) in the configuration would not be applied to pre-existing rooms. Contributed by Jorge Florian. ([\#12115](matrix-org/synapse#12115))
- Fix a long-standing bug where events from ignored users were still considered for bundled aggregations. ([\#12235](matrix-org/synapse#12235), [\#12338](matrix-org/synapse#12338))
- Fix non-member state events not resolving for historical events when used in [MSC2716](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2716) `/batch_send` `state_events_at_start`. ([\#12329](matrix-org/synapse#12329))
- Fix a long-standing bug affecting URL previews that would generate a 500 response instead of a 403 if the previewed URL includes a port that isn't allowed by the relevant blacklist. ([\#12333](matrix-org/synapse#12333))
- Default to `private` room visibility rather than `public` when a client does not specify one, according to spec. ([\#12350](matrix-org/synapse#12350))
- Fix a spec compliance issue where requests to the `/publicRooms` federation API would specify `limit` as a string. ([\#12364](matrix-org/synapse#12364), [\#12410](matrix-org/synapse#12410))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.49.0 which caused the `synapse_event_persisted_position` metric to have invalid values. ([\#12390](matrix-org/synapse#12390))

Updates to the Docker image
---------------------------

- Bundle locked versions of dependencies into the Docker image. ([\#12385](matrix-org/synapse#12385), [\#12439](matrix-org/synapse#12439))
- Fix up healthcheck generation for workers docker image. ([\#12405](matrix-org/synapse#12405))

Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Clarify documentation for running SyTest against Synapse, including use of Postgres and worker mode. ([\#12271](matrix-org/synapse#12271))
- Document the behaviour of `LoggingTransaction.call_after` and `LoggingTransaction.call_on_exception` methods when transactions are retried. ([\#12315](matrix-org/synapse#12315))
- Update dead links in `check-newsfragment.sh` to point to the correct documentation URL. ([\#12331](matrix-org/synapse#12331))
- Upgrade the version of `mdbook` in CI to 0.4.17. ([\#12339](matrix-org/synapse#12339))
- Updates to the Room DAG concepts development document to clarify that we mark events as outliers because we don't have any state for them. ([\#12345](matrix-org/synapse#12345))
- Update the link to Redis pub/sub documentation in the workers documentation. ([\#12369](matrix-org/synapse#12369))
- Remove documentation for converting a legacy structured logging configuration to the new format. ([\#12392](matrix-org/synapse#12392))

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- Remove the unused and unstable `/aggregations` endpoint which was removed from [MSC2675](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2675). ([\#12293](matrix-org/synapse#12293))

Internal Changes
----------------

- Remove lingering unstable references to MSC2403 (knocking). ([\#12165](matrix-org/synapse#12165))
- Avoid trying to calculate the state at outlier events. ([\#12191](matrix-org/synapse#12191), [\#12316](matrix-org/synapse#12316), [\#12330](matrix-org/synapse#12330), [\#12332](matrix-org/synapse#12332), [\#12409](matrix-org/synapse#12409))
- Omit sending "offline" presence updates to application services after they are initially configured. ([\#12193](matrix-org/synapse#12193))
- Switch to using a sequence to generate AS transaction IDs. Contributed by Nick @ Beeper. If running synapse with a dedicated appservice worker, this MUST be stopped before upgrading the main process and database. ([\#12209](matrix-org/synapse#12209))
- Add missing type hints for storage. ([\#12267](matrix-org/synapse#12267))
- Add missing type definitions for scripts in docker folder. Contributed by Jorge Florian. ([\#12280](matrix-org/synapse#12280))
- Move [MSC2654](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2654) support behind an experimental configuration flag. ([\#12295](matrix-org/synapse#12295))
- Update docstrings to explain how to decipher live and historic pagination tokens. ([\#12317](matrix-org/synapse#12317))
- Add ground work for speeding up device list updates for users in large numbers of rooms. ([\#12321](matrix-org/synapse#12321))
- Fix typechecker problems exposed by signedjson 1.1.2. ([\#12326](matrix-org/synapse#12326))
- Remove the `tox` packaging job: it will be redundant once #11537 lands. ([\#12334](matrix-org/synapse#12334))
