This is an attempt to fix #9264:

  • Reverts most of the changes from Give public_baseurl a default value #9159.
  • Cleans-up some checks for public_baseurl.
  • Avoids loading templates that are troublesome if public_baseurl is set, in which case they won't be used anyway.
  • Old configs should work fine now except if you're using CAS, which now requires public_baseurl (and refuses to start if it is not configured). This matches the behavior of the other SSO implementations (and is the least bad way I could figure out how to do this).

This approach feels pretty brittle to me, but I'm not sure if there's a more clever thing to do in the short term.

This seems to fail due to sytest having different config for public baseurl vs. the CAS service url:

Will see if I can get those to be the same...

Synapse 1.28.0 (2021-02-25)
===========================

Note that this release drops support for ARMv7 in the official Docker images, due to repeated problems building for ARMv7 (and the associated maintenance burden this entails).

This release also fixes the documentation included in v1.27.0 around the callback URI for SAML2 identity providers. If your server is configured to use single sign-on via a SAML2 IdP, you may need to make configuration changes. Please review [UPGRADE.rst](UPGRADE.rst) for more details on these changes.


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

- Revert change in v1.28.0rc1 to remove the deprecated SAML endpoint. ([\#9474](matrix-org/synapse#9474))


Synapse 1.28.0rc1 (2021-02-19)
==============================

Removal warning
---------------

The v1 list accounts API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
This API was undocumented and misleading. It can be replaced by the
[v2 list accounts API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.28.0/docs/admin_api/user_admin_api.rst#list-accounts),
which has been available since Synapse 1.7.0 (2019-12-13).

Please check if you're using any scripts which use the admin API and replace
`GET /_synapse/admin/v1/users/<user_id>` with `GET /_synapse/admin/v2/users`.


Features
--------

- New admin API to get the context of an event: `/_synapse/admin/rooms/{roomId}/context/{eventId}`. ([\#9150](matrix-org/synapse#9150))
- Further improvements to the user experience of registration via single sign-on. ([\#9300](matrix-org/synapse#9300), [\#9301](matrix-org/synapse#9301))
- Add hook to spam checker modules that allow checking file uploads and remote downloads. ([\#9311](matrix-org/synapse#9311))
- Add support for receiving OpenID Connect authentication responses via form `POST`s rather than `GET`s. ([\#9376](matrix-org/synapse#9376))
- Add the shadow-banning status to the admin API for user info. ([\#9400](matrix-org/synapse#9400))


Bugfixes
--------

- Fix long-standing bug where sending email notifications would fail for rooms that the server had since left. ([\#9257](matrix-org/synapse#9257))
- Fix bug introduced in Synapse 1.27.0rc1 which meant the "session expired" error page during SSO registration was badly formatted. ([\#9296](matrix-org/synapse#9296))
- Assert a maximum length for some parameters for spec compliance. ([\#9321](matrix-org/synapse#9321), [\#9393](matrix-org/synapse#9393))
- Fix additional errors when previewing URLs: "AttributeError 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'xpath'" and "ValueError: Unicode strings with encoding declaration are not supported. Please use bytes input or XML fragments without declaration.". ([\#9333](matrix-org/synapse#9333))
- Fix a bug causing Synapse to impose the wrong type constraints on fields when processing responses from appservices to `/_matrix/app/v1/thirdparty/user/{protocol}`. ([\#9361](matrix-org/synapse#9361))
- Fix bug where Synapse would occasionally stop reconnecting to Redis after the connection was lost. ([\#9391](matrix-org/synapse#9391))
- Fix a long-standing bug when upgrading a room: "TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'int'". ([\#9395](matrix-org/synapse#9395))
- Reduce the amount of memory used when generating the URL preview of a file that is larger than the `max_spider_size`. ([\#9421](matrix-org/synapse#9421))
- Fix a long-standing bug in the deduplication of old presence, resulting in no deduplication. ([\#9425](matrix-org/synapse#9425))
- The `ui_auth.session_timeout` config option can now be specified in terms of number of seconds/minutes/etc/. Contributed by Rishabh Arya. ([\#9426](matrix-org/synapse#9426))
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.27.0: "TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not 'NoneType." related to the user directory. ([\#9428](matrix-org/synapse#9428))


Updates to the Docker image

Synapse 1.27.0 (2021-02-16)
===========================

Note that this release includes a change in Synapse to use Redis as a cache ─ as well as a pub/sub mechanism ─ if Redis support is enabled for workers. No action is needed by server administrators, and we do not expect resource usage of the Redis instance to change dramatically.

This release also changes the callback URI for OpenID Connect (OIDC) and SAML2 identity providers. If your server is configured to use single sign-on via an OIDC/OAuth2 or SAML2 IdP, you may need to make configuration changes. Please review [UPGRADE.rst](UPGRADE.rst) for more details on these changes.

This release also changes escaping of variables in the HTML templates for SSO or email notifications. If you have customised these templates, please review [UPGRADE.rst](UPGRADE.rst) for more details on these changes.
