Conversation
amalgamated into a single `synapse.app.generic_worker` app. The remaining apps | ||
are ones that do specific processing unrelated to requests, e.g. the `pusher` | ||
that handles sending out push notifications for new events. The intention is for | ||
all these to be folded into the `generic_worker` app and to use config to define | ||
which processes handle the various proccessing such as push notifications. |

I don't think this information about intended direction is terribly helpful here: users aren't interested in the five-year-plan; they want to know how it works today.

For my own edification-why is this required? (Not questioning, just curious)

@H-Shay I guess you're asking about worker_main_http_uri
? In which case, the answer is that /_matrix/client/v3/keys/upload
is sometimes processed locally on the worker, but sometimes needs passing over to the main process; and the way it does the latter is very hacky and just an HTTP hit on the main process's regular HTTP interface.
#13642 is about improving this.

`frontend_proxy` workers have been superseded by `generic_worker` workers. Related to matrix-org/synapse#13645
Synapse 1.67.0 (2022-09-13) =========================== This release removes using the deprecated direct TCP replication configuration for workers. Server admins should use Redis instead. See the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.67/upgrade.html#upgrading-to-v1670). The minimum version of `poetry` supported for managing source checkouts is now 1.2.0. **Notice:** from the next major release (1.68.0) installing Synapse from a source checkout will require a recent Rust compiler. Those using packages or `pip install matrix-synapse` will not be affected. See the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.67/upgrade.html#upgrading-to-v1670). **Notice:** from the next major release (1.68.0), running Synapse with a SQLite database will require SQLite version 3.27.0 or higher. (The [current minimum version is SQLite 3.22.0](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.67/synapse/storage/engines/sqlite.py#L69-L78).) See [matrix-org#12983](matrix-org#12983) and the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.67/upgrade.html#upgrading-to-v1670) for more details. No significant changes since 1.67.0rc1. Synapse 1.67.0rc1 (2022-09-06) ============================== Features -------- - Support setting the registration shared secret in a file, via a new `registration_shared_secret_path` configuration option. ([\matrix-org#13614](matrix-org#13614)) - Change the default startup behaviour so that any missing "additional" configuration files (signing key, etc) are generated automatically. ([\matrix-org#13615](matrix-org#13615)) - Improve performance of sending messages in rooms with thousands of local users. ([\matrix-org#13634](matrix-org#13634)) Bugfixes -------- - Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.13 where the [List Rooms admin API](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/admin_api/rooms.html#list-room-api) would return integers instead of booleans for the `federatable` and `public` fields when using a Sqlite database. ([\matrix-org#13509](matrix-org#13509)) - Fix bug that user cannot `/forget` rooms after the last member has left the room.

([\matrix-org#13616](matrix-org#13616)) - Fix the running of [MSC1763](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#1763) retention purge_jobs in deployments with background jobs running on a worker by forcing them back onto the main worker. Contributed by Brad @ Beeper. ([\matrix-org#13632](matrix-org#13632)) - Fix a long-standing bug that downloaded media for URL previews was not deleted while database background updates were running. ([\matrix-org#13657](matrix-org#13657)) - Fix [MSC3030](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3030) `/timestamp_to_event` endpoint to return the correct next event when the events have the same timestamp. ([\matrix-org#13658](matrix-org#13658)) - Fix bug where we wedge media plugins if clients disconnect early. Introduced in v1.22.0. ([\matrix-org#13660](matrix-org#13660)) - Fix a long-standing bug which meant that keys for unwhitelisted servers were not returned by `/_matrix/key/v2/query`. ([\matrix-org#13683](matrix-org#13683)) - Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.20.0 that would cause the unstable unread counts from [MSC2654](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2654) to be calculated even if the feature is disabled.

This has been the same as a generic_worker since #6964, so let's get rid of it.
Fixes #3717
Supercedes #13451.
