Currently, we try to pull the event corresponding to a sync token from the database. However, when we fetch redaction events, we check the target of that redaction (because we aren't allowed to send redactions to clients without validating them). So, if the sync token points to a redaction of an event that we don't have, we have a problem.

It turns out we don't really need that event, and can just work with its ID and metadata, which sidesteps the whole problem.

Based on #12904.
Fixes #12864

This method was introduced in #12852. It is using the `state_key` column from
the `events` table, which is not (yet) reliable (see #11496).
We don't need most of `filter_events_for_client`, and it actually gives us the
wrong result in a number of cases. Instead, we just roll our own method for
checking if the state should be visible.
We don't really need the event itself, so lets do without it.
... since the event itself is never used now.

This should have tests, but I'm not going to write them tonight.

Synapse 1.61.0 (2022-06-14)
===========================

This release removes support for the non-standard feature known both as 'groups' and as 'communities', which have been superseded by *Spaces*.

See [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1610)
for more details.

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

- Mention removed community/group worker endpoints in [upgrade.md](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1610s). Contributed by @olmari. ([\matrix-org#13023](matrix-org#13023))

Synapse 1.61.0rc1 (2022-06-07)
==============================

Features
--------

- Add new `media_retention` options to the homeserver config for routinely cleaning up non-recently accessed media. ([\matrix-org#12732](matrix-org#12732), [\matrix-org#12972](matrix-org#12972), [\matrix-org#12977](matrix-org#12977))
- Experimental support for [MSC3772](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3772): Push rule for mutually related events. ([\matrix-org#12740](matrix-org#12740), [\matrix-org#12859](matrix-org#12859))
- Update to the `check_event_for_spam` module callback: Deprecate the current callback signature, replace it with a new signature that is both less ambiguous (replacing booleans with explicit allow/block) and more powerful (ability to return explicit error codes). ([\matrix-org#12808](matrix-org#12808))
- Add storage and module API methods to get monthly active users (and their corresponding appservices) within an optionally specified time range. ([\matrix-org#12838](matrix-org#12838), [\matrix-org#12917](matrix-org#12917))
- Support the new error code `ORG.MATRIX.MSC3823.USER_ACCOUNT_SUSPENDED` from [MSC3823](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3823). ([\matrix-org#12845](matrix-org#12845), [\matrix-org#12923](matrix-org#12923))
- Add a configurable background job to delete stale devices. ([\matrix-org#12855](matrix-org#12855))
- Improve URL previews for pages with empty elements. ([\matrix-org#12951](matrix-org#12951))
- Allow updating a user's password using the admin API without logging out their devices. Contributed by @jcgruenhage. ([\matrix-org#12952](matrix-org#12952))

Bugfixes
--------

- Always send an `access_token` in `/thirdparty/` requests to appservices, as required by the [Application Service API specification](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.1/application-service-api/#third-party-networks). ([\matrix-org#12746](matrix-org#12746))
- Implement [MSC3816](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3816): sending the root event in a thread should count as having 'participated' in it. ([\matrix-org#12766](matrix-org#12766))
- Delete events from the `federation_inbound_events_staging` table when a room is purged through the admin API. ([\matrix-org#12784](matrix-org#12784))
- Fix a bug where we did not correctly handle invalid device list updates over federation. Contributed by Carl Bordum Hansen. ([\matrix-org#12829](matrix-org#12829))
- Fix a bug which allowed multiple async operations to access database locks concurrently. Contributed by @sumnerevans @ Beeper. ([\matrix-org#12832](matrix-org#12832))
- Fix an issue introduced in Synapse 0.34 where the `/notifications` endpoint would only return notifications if a user registered at least one pusher. Contributed by Famedly. ([\matrix-org#12840](matrix-org#12840))
- Fix a bug where servers using a Postgres database would fail to backfill from an insertion event when MSC2716 is enabled (`experimental_features.msc2716_enabled`). ([\matrix-org#12843](matrix-org#12843))
- Fix [MSC3787](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3787) rooms being omitted from room directory, room summary and space hierarchy responses. ([\matrix-org#12858](matrix-org#12858))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.54.0 which could sometimes cause exceptions when handling federated traffic. ([\matrix-org#12877](matrix-org#12877))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.59.0 which caused room deletion to fail with a foreign key violation error. ([\matrix-org#12889](matrix-org#12889))
- Fix a long-standing bug which caused the `/messages` endpoint to return an incorrect `end` attribute when there were no more events. Contributed by @Vetchu. ([\matrix-org#12903](matrix-org#12903))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.58.0 where `/sync` would fail if the most recent event in a room was a redaction of an event that has since been purged. ([\matrix-org#12905](matrix-org#12905))
- Fix a potential memory leak when generating thumbnails. ([\matrix-org#12932](matrix-org#12932))
- Fix a long-standing bug where a URL preview would break if the image failed to download. ([\matrix-org#12950](matrix-org#12950))

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

- Fix typographical errors in documentation. ([\matrix-org#12863](matrix-org#12863))
- Fix documentation incorrectly stating the `sendToDevice` endpoint can be directed at generic workers. Contributed by Nick @ Beeper. ([\matrix-org#12867](matrix-org#12867))

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

- Remove support for the non-standard groups/communities feature from Synapse. ([\matrix-org#12553](matrix-org#12553), [\matrix-org#12558](matrix-org#12558), [\matrix-org#12563](matrix-org#12563), [\matrix-org#12895](matrix-org#12895), [\matrix-org#12897](matrix-org#12897), [\matrix-org#12899](matrix-org#12899), [\matrix-org#12900](matrix-org#12900), [\matrix-org#12936](matrix-org#12936), [\matrix-org#12966](matrix-org#12966))
- Remove contributed `kick_users.py` script. This is broken under Python 3, and is not added to the environment when `pip install`ing Synapse. ([\matrix-org#12908](matrix-org#12908))
- Remove `contrib/jitsimeetbridge`. This was an unused experiment that hasn't been meaningfully changed since 2014. ([\matrix-org#12909](matrix-org#12909))
- Remove unused `contrib/experiements/cursesio.py` script, which fails to run under Python 3. ([\matrix-org#12910](matrix-org#12910))
- Remove unused `contrib/experiements/test_messaging.py` script. This fails to run on Python 3. ([\matrix-org#12911](matrix-org#12911))

This enables spam-checker implementations to experiment with mechanisms to give users more information about why they are blocked and whether any action is needed from them to be unblocked. ([\matrix-org#12846](matrix-org#12846))
- Remove `dont_notify` from the `.m.rule.room.server_acl` rule. ([\matrix-org#12849](matrix-org#12849))

- Fix up the variable `state_store` naming. ([\matrix-org#12871](matrix-org#12871))
- Faster room joins: when querying the current state of the room, wait for state to be populated. ([\matrix-org#12872](matrix-org#12872))
- Avoid running queries which will never result in deletions. ([\matrix-org#12879](matrix-org#12879))
