Merge tag 'v1.32.0' into babolivier/dinsic_1.41.0
Synapse 1.32.0 (2021-04-20)
===========================

**Note:** This release requires Python 3.6+ and Postgres 9.6+ or SQLite 3.22+.

This release removes the deprecated `GET /_synapse/admin/v1/users/<user_id>` admin API. Please use the [v2 API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/admin_api/user_admin_api.rst#query-user-account) instead, which has improved capabilities.

This release requires Application Services to use type `m.login.application_service` when registering users via the `/_matrix/client/r0/register` endpoint to comply with the spec. Please ensure your Application Services are up to date.

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix the log lines of nested logging contexts. Broke in 1.32.0rc1. ([\#9829](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9829))

Synapse 1.32.0rc1 (2021-04-13)

- Update experimental support for Spaces: include `m.room.create` in the room state sent with room-invites. ([\#9710](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9710))
- Synapse now requires Python 3.6 or later. It also requires Postgres 9.6 or later or SQLite 3.22 or later. ([\#9766](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9766))

Bugfixes
--------

- Prevent `synapse_forward_extremities` and `synapse_excess_extremity_events` Prometheus metrics from initially reporting zero-values after startup. ([\#8926](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8926))
- Fix recently added ratelimits to correctly honour the application service `rate_limited` flag. ([\#9711](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9711))

This method is described further in + [Configuration](#configuration). + +#### `get_users_for_states` + +```python +async def get_users_for_states( + self, + state_updates: Iterable[UserPresenceState], +) -> Dict[str, Set[UserPresenceState]]: +``` + +**Required.** An asynchronous method that is passed an iterable of user presence +state. This method can determine whether a given presence update should be sent to certain +users. It does this by returning a dictionary with keys representing local or remote +Matrix User IDs, and values being a python set +of `synapse.handlers.presence.UserPresenceState` instances. + +Synapse will then attempt to send the specified presence updates to each user when +possible. + +#### `get_interested_users` + +```python +async def get_interested_users(self, user_id: str) -> Union[Set[str], str] +``` + +**Required.** An asynchronous method that is passed a single Matrix User ID. This +method is expected to return the users that the passed in user may be interested in the +presence of. Returned users may be local or remote. The presence routed as a result of +what this method returns is sent in addition to the updates already sent between users +that share a room together. Presence updates are deduplicated. + +This method should return a python set of Matrix User IDs, or the object +`synapse.events.presence_router.PresenceRouter.ALL_USERS` to indicate that the passed +user should receive presence information for *all* known users. + +For clarity, if the user `@alice:example.org` is passed to this method, and the Set +`{"@bob:example.com", "@charlie:somewhere.org"}` is returned, this signifies that Alice +should receive presence updates sent by Bob and Charlie, regardless of whether these +users share a room. + +### Example + +Below is an example implementation of a presence router class. + +```python +from typing import Dict, Iterable, Set, Union +from synapse.events.presence_router import PresenceRouter +from synapse.handlers.presence import UserPresenceState +from synapse.module_api import ModuleApi + +class PresenceRouterConfig: + def __init__(self): + # Config options with their defaults + # A list of users to always send all user presence updates to + self.always_send_to_users = [] # type: List[str] + + # A list of users to ignore presence updates for.

The logic +regarding which users should receive updates for other users should be the same +between them. + +`get_users_for_states` is called when presence updates come in from either federation +or local users, and is used to either direct local presence to remote users, or to +wake up the sync streams of local users to collect remote presence. + +In contrast, `get_interested_users` is used to determine the users that presence should +be fetched for when a local user is syncing. This presence is then retrieved, before +being fed through `get_users_for_states` once again, with only the syncing user's +routing information pulled from the resulting dictionary. + +Their routing logic should thus line up, else you may run into unintended behaviour. + +## Configuration + +Once you've crafted your module and installed it into the same Python environment as +Synapse, amend your homeserver config file with the following. + +```yaml +presence: + routing_module: + module: my_module.ExamplePresenceRouter + config: + # Any configuration options for your module. The below is an example. + # of setting options for ExamplePresenceRouter. + always_send_to_users: ["@presence_gobbler:example.org"] + blacklisted_users: + - "@alice:example.com" + - "@bob:example.com" + ... +``` + +The contents of `config` will be passed as a Python dictionary to the static +`parse_config` method of your class. The object returned by this method will +then be passed to the `__init__` method of your module as `config`.
