+Synapse 1.42.0rc2 (2021-09-06)
+==============================
+
+This version of Synapse removes deprecated room-management admin APIs, removes out-of-date
+email pushers, and improves error handling for fallback templates for user-interactive
+authentication. For more information on these points, server administrators are
+encouraged to read [the upgrade notes](docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1420).
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- Support room version 9 from [MSC3375](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3375). ([\#10747](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10747))
+
+
+Internal Changes
+----------------
+
+- Print a warning when using one of the deprecated `template_dir` settings. ([\#10768](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10768))
+
+
+Synapse 1.42.0rc1 (2021-09-01)
+==============================
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- Add support for [MSC3231](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3231): Token authenticated registration. Users can be required to submit a token during registration to authenticate themselves. Contributed by Callum Brown. ([\#10142](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10142))
+- Add support for [MSC3283](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3283): Expose `enable_set_displayname` in capabilities. ([\#10452](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10452))
+- Port the `PresenceRouter` module interface to the new generic interface. ([\#10524](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10524))
+- Add pagination to the spaces summary based on updates to [MSC2946](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2946). ([\#10613](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10613), [\#10725](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10725))
+
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Validate new `m.room.power_levels` events. Contributed by @aaronraimist. ([\#10232](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10232))
+- Display an error on User-Interactive Authentication fallback pages when authentication fails. Contributed by Callum Brown. ([\#10561](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10561))
+- Remove pushers when deleting an e-mail address from an account. Pushers for old unlinked emails will also be deleted. ([\#10581](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10581), [\#10734](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10734))
+- Reject Client-Server `/keys/query` requests which provide `device_ids` incorrectly. ([\#10593](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10593))
+- Rooms with unsupported room versions are no longer returned via `/sync`. ([\#10644](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10644))
+- Enforce the maximum length for per-room display names and avatar URLs. ([\#10654](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10654))

+Synapse 1.41.1 (2021-08-31)
+===========================
+
+Due to the two security issues highlighted below, server administrators are encouraged to update Synapse. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild.
+
+Security advisory
+-----------------
+
+The following issues are fixed in v1.41.1.
+
+- **[GHSA-3x4c-pq33-4w3q](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-3x4c-pq33-4w3q) / [CVE-2021-39164](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-39164): Enumerating a private room's list of members and their display names.**
+
+  If an unauthorized user both knows the Room ID of a private room *and* that room's history visibility is set to `shared`, then they may be able to enumerate the room's members, including their display names.
+
+  The unauthorized user must be on the same homeserver as a user who is a member of the target room.
+
+  Fixed by [52c7a51cf](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/52c7a51cf).
+
+- **[GHSA-jj53-8fmw-f2w2](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-jj53-8fmw-f2w2) / [CVE-2021-39163](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-39163): Disclosing a private room's name, avatar, topic, and number of members.**
+
+  If an unauthorized user knows the Room ID of a private room, then its name, avatar, topic, and number of members may be disclosed through Group / Community features.
+
+  The unauthorized user must be on the same homeserver as a user who is a member of the target room, and their homeserver must allow non-administrators to create groups (`enable_group_creation` in the Synapse configuration; off by default).
+
+  Fixed by [cb35df940a](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/cb35df940a), [\#10723](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10723).

-
-# 1. Who can contribute to Synapse?
-
-Everyone is welcome to contribute code to [matrix.org
-projects](https://github.com/matrix-org), provided that they are willing to
-license their contributions under the same license as the project itself. We
-follow a simple 'inbound=outbound' model for contributions: the act of
-submitting an 'inbound' contribution means that the contributor agrees to
-license the code under the same terms as the project's overall 'outbound'
-license - in our case, this is almost always Apache Software License v2 (see
-[LICENSE](LICENSE)).
-
-# 2. What do I need?
-
-The code of Synapse is written in Python 3. To do pretty much anything, you'll need [a recent version of Python 3](https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download).
-
-The source code of Synapse is hosted on GitHub. You will also need [a recent version of git](https://github.com/git-guides/install-git).
-
-For some tests, you will need [a recent version of Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/).
-
-
-# 3. Get the source.
-
-The preferred and easiest way to contribute changes is to fork the relevant
-project on GitHub, and then [create a pull request](
-https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/) to ask us to pull your
-changes into our repo.
-
-Please base your changes on the `develop` branch.
-
-```sh
-git clone git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_USER_NAME/synapse.git
-git checkout develop
-```
-
-If you need help getting started with git, this is beyond the scope of the document, but you
-can find many good git tutorials on the web.
-
-# 4. Install the dependencies
-
-## Under Unix (macOS, Linux, BSD, ...)
-
-Once you have installed Python 3 and added the source, please open a terminal and
-setup a *virtualenv*, as follows:
-
-```sh
-cd path/where/you/have/cloned/the/repository
-python3 -m venv ./env
-source ./env/bin/activate
-pip install -e ".[all,lint,mypy,test]"
-pip install tox
-```
-
-This will install the developer dependencies for the project.
-
-## Under Windows
-
-TBD
-
-
-# 5. Get in touch.
-
-Join our developer community on Matrix: #synapse-dev:matrix.org !
-
-
-# 6. Pick an issue.
-
-Fix your favorite problem or perhaps find a [Good First Issue](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22Good+First+Issue%22)
-to work on.
-
-
-# 7. Turn coffee and documentation into code and documentation!
-
-Synapse's code style is documented [here](docs/code_style.md). Please follow
-it, including the conventions for the [sample configuration
-file](docs/code_style.md#configuration-file-format).
-
-There is a growing amount of documentation located in the [docs](docs)
-directory. This documentation is intended primarily for sysadmins running their
-own Synapse instance, as well as developers interacting externally with
-Synapse. [docs/dev](docs/dev) exists primarily to house documentation for
-Synapse developers. [docs/admin_api](docs/admin_api) houses documentation
-regarding Synapse's Admin API, which is used mostly by sysadmins and external
-service developers.
-
-If you add new files added to either of these folders, please use [GitHub-Flavoured
-Markdown](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/).
-
-Some documentation also exists in [Synapse's GitHub
-Wiki](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/wiki), although this is primarily
-contributed to by community authors.
-
-
-# 8. Test, test, test!
-<a name="test-test-test"></a>
-
-While you're developing and before submitting a patch, you'll
-want to test your code.
-
-## Run the linters.
-
-The linters look at your code and do two things:
-
-- ensure that your code follows the coding style adopted by the project;
-- catch a number of errors in your code.
-
-They're pretty fast, don't hesitate!
-
-```sh
-source ./env/bin/activate
-./scripts-dev/lint.sh
-```
-
-Note that this script *will modify your files* to fix styling errors.
-Make sure that you have saved all your files.
-
-If you wish to restrict the linters to only the files changed since the last commit
-(much faster!), you can instead run:
-
-```sh
-source ./env/bin/activate
-./scripts-dev/lint.sh -d
-```
-
-Or if you know exactly which files you wish to lint, you can instead run:
-
-```sh
-source ./env/bin/activate
-./scripts-dev/lint.sh path/to/file1.py path/to/file2.py path/to/folder
-```
-
-## Run the unit tests (Twisted trial).
-
-The unit tests run parts of Synapse, including your changes, to see if anything
-was broken. They are slower than the linters but will typically catch more errors.
-
-```sh
-source ./env/bin/activate
-trial tests
-```
-
-If you wish to only run *some* unit tests, you may specify
-another module instead of `tests` - or a test class or a method:
-
-```sh
-source ./env/bin/activate
-trial tests.rest.admin.test_room tests.handlers.test_admin.ExfiltrateData.test_invite
-```
-
-If your tests fail, you may wish to look at the logs (the default log level is `ERROR`):
-
-```sh
-less _trial_temp/test.log
-```
-
-To increase the log level for the tests, set `SYNAPSE_TEST_LOG_LEVEL`:
-
-```sh
-SYNAPSE_TEST_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG trial tests
-```
-
-
-## Run the integration tests ([Sytest](https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest)).
-
-The integration tests are a more comprehensive suite of tests. They
-run a full version of Synapse, including your changes, to check if
-anything was broken. They are slower than the unit tests but will
-typically catch more errors.
-
-The following command will let you run the integration test with the most common
-configuration:
-
-```sh
-$ docker run --rm -it -v /path/where/you/have/cloned/the/repository\:/src:ro -v /path/to/where/you/want/logs\:/logs matrixdotorg/sytest-synapse:py37
-```
-
-This configuration should generally cover  your needs. For more details about other configurations, see [documentation in the SyTest repo](https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest/blob/develop/docker/README.md).
-
-
-## Run the integration tests ([Complement](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement)).
-
-[Complement](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement) is a suite of black box tests that can be run on any homeserver implementation. It can also be thought of as end-to-end (e2e) tests.
-
-It's often nice to develop on Synapse and write Complement tests at the same time.
-Here is how to run your local Synapse checkout against your local Complement checkout.
-
-(checkout [`complement`](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement) alongside your `synapse` checkout)
-```sh
-COMPLEMENT_DIR=../complement ./scripts-dev/complement.sh
-```
-
-To run a specific test file, you can pass the test name at the end of the command. The name passed comes from the naming structure in your Complement tests. If you're unsure of the name, you can do a full run and copy it from the test output:
-
-```sh
-COMPLEMENT_DIR=../complement ./scripts-dev/complement.sh TestBackfillingHistory
-```
-
-To run a specific test, you can specify the whole name structure:
-
-```sh
-COMPLEMENT_DIR=../complement ./scripts-dev/complement.sh TestBackfillingHistory/parallel/Backfilled_historical_events_resolve_with_proper_state_in_correct_order
-```
-
-
-### Access database for homeserver after Complement test runs.
-
-If you're curious what the database looks like after you run some tests, here are some steps to get you going in Synapse:
-
- 1. In your Complement test comment out `defer deployment.Destroy(t)` and replace with `defer time.Sleep(2 * time.Hour)` to keep the homeserver running after the tests complete
- 1. Start the Complement tests
- 1. Find the name of the container, `docker ps -f name=complement_` (this will filter for just the Compelement related Docker containers)
- 1. Access the container replacing the name with what you found in the previous step: `docker exec -it complement_1_hs_with_application_service.hs1_2 /bin/bash`
- 1. Install sqlite (database driver), `apt-get update && apt-get install -y sqlite3`
- 1. Then run `sqlite3` and open the database `.open /conf/homeserver.db` (this db path comes from the Synapse homeserver.yaml)
-
-
-# 9. Submit your patch.
-
-Once you're happy with your patch, it's time to prepare a Pull Request.
-
-To prepare a Pull Request, please:
-
-1. verify that [all the tests pass](#test-test-test), including the coding style;
-2. [sign off](#sign-off) your contribution;
-3. `git push` your commit to your fork of Synapse;
-4. on GitHub, [create the Pull Request](https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request);
-5. add a [changelog entry](#changelog) and push it to your Pull Request;
-6. for most contributors, that's all - however, if you are a member of the organization `matrix-org`, on GitHub, please request a review from `matrix.org / Synapse Core`.
-
-
-## Changelog
-
-All changes, even minor ones, need a corresponding changelog / newsfragment
-entry. These are managed by [Towncrier](https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier).
-
-To create a changelog entry, make a new file in the `changelog.d` directory named
-in the format of `PRnumber.type`. The type can be one of the following:
-
-* `feature`
-* `bugfix`
-* `docker` (for updates to the Docker image)
-* `doc` (for updates to the documentation)
-* `removal` (also used for deprecations)
-* `misc` (for internal-only changes)
-
-This file will become part of our [changelog](
-https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/CHANGES.md) at the next
-release, so the content of the file should be a short description of your
-change in the same style as the rest of the changelog. The file can contain Markdown
-formatting, and should end with a full stop (.) or an exclamation mark (!) for
-consistency.
-
-Adding credits to the changelog is encouraged, we value your
-contributions and would like to have you shouted out in the release notes!
-
-For example, a fix in PR #1234 would have its changelog entry in
-`changelog.d/1234.bugfix`, and contain content like:
-
-> The security levels of Florbs are now validated when received
-> via the `/federation/florb` endpoint. Contributed by Jane Matrix.
-
-If there are multiple pull requests involved in a single bugfix/feature/etc,
-then the content for each `changelog.d` file should be the same. Towncrier will
-merge the matching files together into a single changelog entry when we come to
-release.
-
-### How do I know what to call the changelog file before I create the PR?
-
-Obviously, you don't know if you should call your newsfile
-`1234.bugfix` or `5678.bugfix` until you create the PR, which leads to a
-chicken-and-egg problem.
-
-There are two options for solving this:
-
- 1. Open the PR without a changelog file, see what number you got, and *then*
-    add the changelog file to your branch (see [Updating your pull
-    request](#updating-your-pull-request)), or:
-
- 1. Look at the [list of all
-    issues/PRs](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=), add one to the
-    highest number you see, and quickly open the PR before somebody else claims
-    your number.
-
-    [This
-    script](https://github.com/richvdh/scripts/blob/master/next_github_number.sh)
-    might be helpful if you find yourself doing this a lot.
-
-Sorry, we know it's a bit fiddly, but it's *really* helpful for us when we come
-to put together a release!
-
-### Debian changelog
-
-Changes which affect the debian packaging files (in `debian`) are an
-exception to the rule that all changes require a `changelog.d` file.
-
-In this case, you will need to add an entry to the debian changelog for the
-next release. For this, run the following command:
-
-```
-dch
-```
-
-This will make up a new version number (if there isn't already an unreleased
-version in flight), and open an editor where you can add a new changelog entry.
-(Our release process will ensure that the version number and maintainer name is
-corrected for the release.)
-
-If your change affects both the debian packaging *and* files outside the debian
-directory, you will need both a regular newsfragment *and* an entry in the
-debian changelog. (Though typically such changes should be submitted as two
-separate pull requests.)
-
-## Sign off
-
-In order to have a concrete record that your contribution is intentional
-and you agree to license it under the same terms as the project's license, we've adopted the
-same lightweight approach that the Linux Kernel
-[submitting patches process](
-https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#sign-your-work-the-developer-s-certificate-of-origin>),
-[Docker](https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md), and many other
-projects use: the DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin:
-http://developercertificate.org/). This is a simple declaration that you wrote
-the contribution or otherwise have the right to contribute it to Matrix:
-
-```

-license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
-Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
-
-By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
-
-(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I

-    license and I have the right under that license to submit that
-    work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
-    by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
-    permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
-    in the file; or
-
-(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
-    person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
-    it.
-
-(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
-    are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
-    personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
-    maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
-    this project or the open source license(s) involved.
-```
-
-If you agree to this for your contribution, then all that's needed is to
-include the line in your commit or pull request comment:
-
-```
-Signed-off-by: Your Name <your@email.example.org>
-```
-
-We accept contributions under a legally identifiable name, such as
-your name on government documentation or common-law names (names
-claimed by legitimate usage or repute). Unfortunately, we cannot
-accept anonymous contributions at this time.
-
-Git allows you to add this signoff automatically when using the `-s`
-flag to `git commit`, which uses the name and email set in your
-`user.name` and `user.email` git configs.
-
-
-# 10. Turn feedback into better code.
-
-Once the Pull Request is opened, you will see a few things:
-
-1. our automated CI (Continuous Integration) pipeline will run (again) the linters, the unit tests, the integration tests and more;
-2. one or more of the developers will take a look at your Pull Request and offer feedback.
-
-From this point, you should:
-
-1. Look at the results of the CI pipeline.
-   - If there is any error, fix the error.
-2. If a developer has requested changes, make these changes and let us know if it is ready for a developer to review again.
-3. Create a new commit with the changes.
-   - Please do NOT overwrite the history. New commits make the reviewer's life easier.
-   - Push this commits to your Pull Request.
-4. Back to 1.
-
-Once both the CI and the developers are happy, the patch will be merged into Synapse and released shortly!
-
-# 11. Find a new issue.
-
-By now, you know the drill!
-
-# Notes for maintainers on merging PRs etc
-
-There are some notes for those with commit access to the project on how we
-manage git [here](docs/development/git.md).
-
-# Conclusion
-
-That's it! Matrix is a very open and collaborative project as you might expect
-given our obsession with open communication. If we're going to successfully
-matrix together all the fragmented communication technologies out there we are
-reliant on contributions and collaboration from the community to do so. So
-please get involved - and we hope you have as much fun hacking on Matrix as we
-do!

-**The old Purge room API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
-See the new [Delete Room API](rooms.md#delete-room-api) for more details.**
-
-This API will remove all trace of a room from your database.

-All local users must have left the room before it can be removed.

+First, it's important to understand that a room deletion is very destructive. Undoing a deletion is not as simple as pretending it
 never happened - work has to be done to move forward instead of resetting the past. In fact, in some cases it might not be possible
 to recover at all:
 
 * If the room was invite-only, your users will need to be re-invited.
 * If the room no longer has any members at all, it'll be impossible to rejoin.
-* The first user to rejoin will have to do so via an alias on a different server.

 With all that being said, if you still want to try and recover the room:
 
-1. For safety reasons, shut down Synapse.
-2. In the database, run `DELETE FROM blocked_rooms WHERE room_id = '!example:example.org';`
-   * For caution: it's recommended to run this in a transaction: `BEGIN; DELETE ...;`, verify you got 1 result, then `COMMIT;`.
-   * The room ID is the same one supplied to the shutdown room API, not the Content Violation room.
-3. Restart Synapse.

-* Aliases that would have been redirected to the Content Violation room.
-* Users that would have been booted from the room (and will have been force-joined to the Content Violation room).
-* Removal of the Content Violation room if desired.
+   This step is unnecessary if `block` was not set.
+
+2. Any room aliases on your server that pointed to the deleted room may have
+   been deleted, or redirected to the Content Violation room. These will need
+   to be restored manually.
+
+3. Users on your server that were in the deleted room will have been kicked
+   from the room. Consider whether you want to update their membership
+   (possibly via the [Edit Room Membership API](room_membership.md)) or let
+   them handle rejoining themselves.

-# Deprecated: Shutdown room API
-
-**The old Shutdown room API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
-See the new [Delete Room API](rooms.md#delete-room-api) for more details.**
-
-Shuts down a room, preventing new joins and moves local users and room aliases automatically
-to a new room. The new room will be created with the user specified by the
-`new_room_user_id` parameter as room administrator and will contain a message
-explaining what happened. Users invited to the new room will have power level
--10 by default, and thus be unable to speak. The old room's power levels will be changed to
-disallow any further invites or joins.
-
-The local server will only have the power to move local user and room aliases to
-the new room. Users on other servers will be unaffected.
-
-## API
-
-You will need to authenticate with an access token for an admin user.
-
-### URL
-
-`POST /_synapse/admin/v1/shutdown_room/{room_id}`
-
-### URL Parameters
-
-* `room_id` - The ID of the room (e.g `!someroom:example.com`)
-
-### JSON Body Parameters
-
-* `new_room_user_id` - Required. A string representing the user ID of the user that will admin
-                       the new room that all users in the old room will be moved to.
-* `room_name` - Optional. A string representing the name of the room that new users will be
-                invited to.
-* `message` - Optional. A string containing the first message that will be sent as
-              `new_room_user_id` in the new room. Ideally this will clearly convey why the
-               original room was shut down.
-
-If not specified, the default value of `room_name` is "Content Violation
-Notification". The default value of `message` is "Sharing illegal content on
-othis server is not permitted and rooms in violation will be blocked."
-
-### Response Parameters
-
-* `kicked_users` - An integer number representing the number of users that
-                   were kicked.
-* `failed_to_kick_users` - An integer number representing the number of users
-                           that were not kicked.
-* `local_aliases` - An array of strings representing the local aliases that were migrated from
-                    the old room to the new.
-* `new_room_id` - A string representing the room ID of the new room.
-
-## Example
-
-Request:
-
-```
-POST /_synapse/admin/v1/shutdown_room/!somebadroom%3Aexample.com
-
-{
-    "new_room_user_id": "@someuser:example.com",
-    "room_name": "Content Violation Notification",
-    "message": "Bad Room has been shutdown due to content violations on this server. Please review our Terms of Service."
-}
-```
-
-Response:
-
-```
-{
-    "kicked_users": 5,
-    "failed_to_kick_users": 0,
-    "local_aliases": ["#badroom:example.com", "#evilsaloon:example.com],
-    "new_room_id": "!newroomid:example.com",
-},
-```
-
-## Undoing room shutdowns
-
-*Note*: This guide may be outdated by the time you read it. By nature of room shutdowns being performed at the database level,
-the structure can and does change without notice.
-
-First, it's important to understand that a room shutdown is very destructive. Undoing a shutdown is not as simple as pretending it
-never happened - work has to be done to move forward instead of resetting the past. In fact, in some cases it might not be possible
-to recover at all:
-
-* If the room was invite-only, your users will need to be re-invited.
-* If the room no longer has any members at all, it'll be impossible to rejoin.
-* The first user to rejoin will have to do so via an alias on a different server.
-
-With all that being said, if you still want to try and recover the room:
-
-1. For safety reasons, shut down Synapse.
-2. In the database, run `DELETE FROM blocked_rooms WHERE room_id = '!example:example.org';`
-   * For caution: it's recommended to run this in a transaction: `BEGIN; DELETE ...;`, verify you got 1 result, then `COMMIT;`.
-   * The room ID is the same one supplied to the shutdown room API, not the Content Violation room.
-3. Restart Synapse.
-
-You will have to manually handle, if you so choose, the following:
-
-* Aliases that would have been redirected to the Content Violation room.
-* Users that would have been booted from the room (and will have been force-joined to the Content Violation room).
-* Removal of the Content Violation room if desired.

 # Contributing
 
-{{#include ../../CONTRIBUTING.md}}
+This document aims to get you started with contributing to Synapse!
+
+# 1. Who can contribute to Synapse?
+
+Everyone is welcome to contribute code to [matrix.org
+projects](https://github.com/matrix-org), provided that they are willing to
+license their contributions under the same license as the project itself. We
+follow a simple 'inbound=outbound' model for contributions: the act of
+submitting an 'inbound' contribution means that the contributor agrees to
+license the code under the same terms as the project's overall 'outbound'
+license - in our case, this is almost always Apache Software License v2 (see
+[LICENSE](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/LICENSE)).
+
+# 2. What do I need?
+
+The code of Synapse is written in Python 3. To do pretty much anything, you'll need [a recent version of Python 3](https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download).
+
+The source code of Synapse is hosted on GitHub. You will also need [a recent version of git](https://github.com/git-guides/install-git).
+
+For some tests, you will need [a recent version of Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/).
+
+
+# 3. Get the source.
+
+The preferred and easiest way to contribute changes is to fork the relevant
+project on GitHub, and then [create a pull request](
+https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/) to ask us to pull your
+changes into our repo.
+
+Please base your changes on the `develop` branch.
+
+```sh
+git clone git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_USER_NAME/synapse.git
+git checkout develop
+```
+
+If you need help getting started with git, this is beyond the scope of the document, but you
+can find many good git tutorials on the web.
+
+# 4. Install the dependencies
+
+## Under Unix (macOS, Linux, BSD, ...)
+
+Once you have installed Python 3 and added the source, please open a terminal and
+setup a *virtualenv*, as follows:
+
+```sh
+cd path/where/you/have/cloned/the/repository
+python3 -m venv ./env
+source ./env/bin/activate
+pip install -e ".[all,lint,mypy,test]"
+pip install tox
+```
+
+This will install the developer dependencies for the project.
+
+## Under Windows
+
+TBD
+
+
+# 5. Get in touch.
+
+Join our developer community on Matrix: #synapse-dev:matrix.org !
+
+
+# 6. Pick an issue.
+
+Fix your favorite problem or perhaps find a [Good First Issue](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22Good+First+Issue%22)
+to work on.
+
+
+# 7. Turn coffee into code and documentation!
+
+There is a growing amount of documentation located in the
+[`docs`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docs)
+directory, with a rendered version [available online](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse).
+This documentation is intended primarily for sysadmins running their
+own Synapse instance, as well as developers interacting externally with
+Synapse.
+[`docs/development`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docs/development)
+exists primarily to house documentation for
+Synapse developers.
+[`docs/admin_api`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docs/admin_api) houses documentation
+regarding Synapse's Admin API, which is used mostly by sysadmins and external
+service developers.
+
+Synapse's code style is documented [here](../code_style.md). Please follow
+it, including the conventions for the [sample configuration
+file](../code_style.md#configuration-file-format).
+
+We welcome improvements and additions to our documentation itself! When
+writing new pages, please
+[build `docs` to a book](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docs#adding-to-the-documentation)
+to check that your contributions render correctly. The docs are written in
+[GitHub-Flavoured Markdown](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/).
+
+Some documentation also exists in [Synapse's GitHub
+Wiki](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/wiki), although this is primarily
+contributed to by community authors.
+
+
+# 8. Test, test, test!
+<a name="test-test-test"></a>
+
+While you're developing and before submitting a patch, you'll
+want to test your code.
+
+## Run the linters.
+
+The linters look at your code and do two things:
+
+- ensure that your code follows the coding style adopted by the project;
+- catch a number of errors in your code.
+
+They're pretty fast, don't hesitate!
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
+./scripts-dev/lint.sh
+```
+
+Note that this script *will modify your files* to fix styling errors.
+Make sure that you have saved all your files.
+
+If you wish to restrict the linters to only the files changed since the last commit
+(much faster!), you can instead run:
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
+./scripts-dev/lint.sh -d
+```
+
+Or if you know exactly which files you wish to lint, you can instead run:
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
+./scripts-dev/lint.sh path/to/file1.py path/to/file2.py path/to/folder
+```
+
+## Run the unit tests (Twisted trial).
+
+The unit tests run parts of Synapse, including your changes, to see if anything
+was broken. They are slower than the linters but will typically catch more errors.
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
+trial tests
+```
+
+If you wish to only run *some* unit tests, you may specify
+another module instead of `tests` - or a test class or a method:
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
+trial tests.rest.admin.test_room tests.handlers.test_admin.ExfiltrateData.test_invite
+```
+
+If your tests fail, you may wish to look at the logs (the default log level is `ERROR`):
+
+```sh
+less _trial_temp/test.log
+```
+
+To increase the log level for the tests, set `SYNAPSE_TEST_LOG_LEVEL`:
+
+```sh
+SYNAPSE_TEST_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG trial tests
+```
+
+
+## Run the integration tests ([Sytest](https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest)).
+
+The integration tests are a more comprehensive suite of tests. They
+run a full version of Synapse, including your changes, to check if
+anything was broken. They are slower than the unit tests but will
+typically catch more errors.
+
+The following command will let you run the integration test with the most common
+configuration:
+
+```sh
+$ docker run --rm -it -v /path/where/you/have/cloned/the/repository\:/src:ro -v /path/to/where/you/want/logs\:/logs matrixdotorg/sytest-synapse:buster
+```
+
+This configuration should generally cover  your needs. For more details about other configurations, see [documentation in the SyTest repo](https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest/blob/develop/docker/README.md).
+
+
+## Run the integration tests ([Complement](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement)).
+
+[Complement](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement) is a suite of black box tests that can be run on any homeserver implementation. It can also be thought of as end-to-end (e2e) tests.
+
+It's often nice to develop on Synapse and write Complement tests at the same time.
+Here is how to run your local Synapse checkout against your local Complement checkout.
+
+(checkout [`complement`](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement) alongside your `synapse` checkout)
+```sh
+COMPLEMENT_DIR=../complement ./scripts-dev/complement.sh
+```
+
+To run a specific test file, you can pass the test name at the end of the command. The name passed comes from the naming structure in your Complement tests. If you're unsure of the name, you can do a full run and copy it from the test output:
+
+```sh
+COMPLEMENT_DIR=../complement ./scripts-dev/complement.sh TestBackfillingHistory
+```
+
+To run a specific test, you can specify the whole name structure:
+
+```sh
+COMPLEMENT_DIR=../complement ./scripts-dev/complement.sh TestBackfillingHistory/parallel/Backfilled_historical_events_resolve_with_proper_state_in_correct_order
+```
+
+
+### Access database for homeserver after Complement test runs.
+
+If you're curious what the database looks like after you run some tests, here are some steps to get you going in Synapse:
+
+1. In your Complement test comment out `defer deployment.Destroy(t)` and replace with `defer time.Sleep(2 * time.Hour)` to keep the homeserver running after the tests complete
+1. Start the Complement tests
+1. Find the name of the container, `docker ps -f name=complement_` (this will filter for just the Compelement related Docker containers)
+1. Access the container replacing the name with what you found in the previous step: `docker exec -it complement_1_hs_with_application_service.hs1_2 /bin/bash`
+1. Install sqlite (database driver), `apt-get update && apt-get install -y sqlite3`
+1. Then run `sqlite3` and open the database `.open /conf/homeserver.db` (this db path comes from the Synapse homeserver.yaml)
+
+
+# 9. Submit your patch.
+
+Once you're happy with your patch, it's time to prepare a Pull Request.
+
+To prepare a Pull Request, please:
+
+1. verify that [all the tests pass](#test-test-test), including the coding style;
+2. [sign off](#sign-off) your contribution;
+3. `git push` your commit to your fork of Synapse;
+4. on GitHub, [create the Pull Request](https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request);
+5. add a [changelog entry](#changelog) and push it to your Pull Request;
+6. for most contributors, that's all - however, if you are a member of the organization `matrix-org`, on GitHub, please request a review from `matrix.org / Synapse Core`.
+7. if you need to update your PR, please avoid rebasing and just add new commits to your branch.
+
+
+## Changelog
+
+All changes, even minor ones, need a corresponding changelog / newsfragment
+entry. These are managed by [Towncrier](https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier).
+
+To create a changelog entry, make a new file in the `changelog.d` directory named
+in the format of `PRnumber.type`. The type can be one of the following:
+
+* `feature`
+* `bugfix`
+* `docker` (for updates to the Docker image)
+* `doc` (for updates to the documentation)
+* `removal` (also used for deprecations)
+* `misc` (for internal-only changes)
+
+This file will become part of our [changelog](
+https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/CHANGES.md) at the next
+release, so the content of the file should be a short description of your
+change in the same style as the rest of the changelog. The file can contain Markdown
+formatting, and should end with a full stop (.) or an exclamation mark (!) for
+consistency.
+
+Adding credits to the changelog is encouraged, we value your
+contributions and would like to have you shouted out in the release notes!
+
+For example, a fix in PR #1234 would have its changelog entry in
+`changelog.d/1234.bugfix`, and contain content like:
+
+> The security levels of Florbs are now validated when received
+> via the `/federation/florb` endpoint. Contributed by Jane Matrix.
+
+If there are multiple pull requests involved in a single bugfix/feature/etc,
+then the content for each `changelog.d` file should be the same. Towncrier will
+merge the matching files together into a single changelog entry when we come to
+release.
+
+### How do I know what to call the changelog file before I create the PR?
+
+Obviously, you don't know if you should call your newsfile
+`1234.bugfix` or `5678.bugfix` until you create the PR, which leads to a
+chicken-and-egg problem.
+
+There are two options for solving this:
+
+1. Open the PR without a changelog file, see what number you got, and *then*
+   add the changelog file to your branch (see [Updating your pull
+   request](#updating-your-pull-request)), or:
+
+1. Look at the [list of all
+   issues/PRs](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=), add one to the
+   highest number you see, and quickly open the PR before somebody else claims
+   your number.
+
+   [This
+   script](https://github.com/richvdh/scripts/blob/master/next_github_number.sh)
+   might be helpful if you find yourself doing this a lot.
+
+Sorry, we know it's a bit fiddly, but it's *really* helpful for us when we come
+to put together a release!
+
+### Debian changelog
+
+Changes which affect the debian packaging files (in `debian`) are an
+exception to the rule that all changes require a `changelog.d` file.
+
+In this case, you will need to add an entry to the debian changelog for the
+next release. For this, run the following command:
+
+```
+dch
+```
+
+This will make up a new version number (if there isn't already an unreleased
+version in flight), and open an editor where you can add a new changelog entry.
+(Our release process will ensure that the version number and maintainer name is
+corrected for the release.)
+
+If your change affects both the debian packaging *and* files outside the debian
+directory, you will need both a regular newsfragment *and* an entry in the
+debian changelog. (Though typically such changes should be submitted as two
+separate pull requests.)

+
+Once the Pull Request is opened, you will see a few things:
+
+1. our automated CI (Continuous Integration) pipeline will run (again) the linters, the unit tests, the integration tests and more;
+2. one or more of the developers will take a look at your Pull Request and offer feedback.
+
+From this point, you should:
+
+1. Look at the results of the CI pipeline.
+    - If there is any error, fix the error.
+2. If a developer has requested changes, make these changes and let us know if it is ready for a developer to review again.
+3. Create a new commit with the changes.
+    - Please do NOT overwrite the history. New commits make the reviewer's life easier.
+    - Push this commits to your Pull Request.
+4. Back to 1.
+
+Once both the CI and the developers are happy, the patch will be merged into Synapse and released shortly!
+
+# 11. Find a new issue.

+# Conclusion
+
+That's it! Matrix is a very open and collaborative project as you might expect
+given our obsession with open communication. If we're going to successfully
+matrix together all the fragmented communication technologies out there we are
+reliant on contributions and collaboration from the community to do so. So
+please get involved - and we hope you have as much fun hacking on Matrix as we
+do!

+# Room DAG concepts
+
+## Edges
+
+The word "edge" comes from graph theory lingo. An edge is just a connection
+between two events. In Synapse, we connect events by specifying their
+`prev_events`. A subsequent event points back at a previous event.
+
+```
+A (oldest) <---- B <---- C (most recent)
+```
+
+
+## Depth and stream ordering
+
+Events are normally sorted by `(topological_ordering, stream_ordering)` where
+`topological_ordering` is just `depth`. In other words, we first sort by `depth`
+and then tie-break based on `stream_ordering`. `depth` is incremented as new
+messages are added to the DAG. Normally, `stream_ordering` is an auto
+incrementing integer, but backfilled events start with `stream_ordering=-1` and decrement.
+
+---
+
+ - `/sync` returns things in the order they arrive at the server (`stream_ordering`).
+ - `/messages` (and `/backfill` in the federation API) return them in the order determined by the event graph `(topological_ordering, stream_ordering)`.
+
+The general idea is that, if you're following a room in real-time (i.e.
+`/sync`), you probably want to see the messages as they arrive at your server,
+rather than skipping any that arrived late; whereas if you're looking at a
+historical section of timeline (i.e. `/messages`), you want to see the best
+representation of the state of the room as others were seeing it at the time.
+
+
+## Forward extremity
+
+Most-recent-in-time events in the DAG which are not referenced by any other events' `prev_events` yet.
+
+The forward extremities of a room are used as the `prev_events` when the next event is sent.
+
+
+## Backwards extremity
+
+The current marker of where we have backfilled up to and will generally be the
+oldest-in-time events we know of in the DAG.
+
+This is an event where we haven't fetched all of the `prev_events` for.
+
+Once we have fetched all of its `prev_events`, it's unmarked as a backwards
+extremity (although we may have formed new backwards extremities from the prev
+events during the backfilling process).
+
+
+## Outliers
+
+We mark an event as an `outlier` when we haven't figured out the state for the
+room at that point in the DAG yet.
+
+We won't *necessarily* have the `prev_events` of an `outlier` in the database,
+but it's entirely possible that we *might*. The status of whether we have all of
+the `prev_events` is marked as a [backwards extremity](#backwards-extremity).
+
+For example, when we fetch the event auth chain or state for a given event, we
+mark all of those claimed auth events as outliers because we haven't done the
+state calculation ourself.
+
+
+## State groups
+
+For every non-outlier event we need to know the state at that event. Instead of
+storing the full state for each event in the DB (i.e. a `event_id -> state`
+mapping), which is *very* space inefficient when state doesn't change, we
+instead assign each different set of state a "state group" and then have
+mappings of `event_id -> state_group` and `state_group -> state`.
+
+
+### Stage group edges
+
+TODO: `state_group_edges` is a further optimization...

+#### Presence router callbacks
+
+Presence router callbacks allow module developers to specify additional users (local or remote)
+to receive certain presence updates from local users. Presence router callbacks can be 
+registered using the module API's `register_presence_router_callbacks` method.
+
+The available presence router callbacks are:
+
+```python 
+async def get_users_for_states(
+    self,
+    state_updates: Iterable["synapse.api.UserPresenceState"],
+) -> Dict[str, Set["synapse.api.UserPresenceState"]]:
+```
+**Requires** `get_interested_users` to also be registered
+
+Called when processing updates to the presence state of one or more users. This callback can
+be used to instruct the server to forward that presence state to specific users. The module
+must return a dictionary that maps from Matrix user IDs (which can be local or remote) to the
+`UserPresenceState` changes that they should be forwarded.
+
+Synapse will then attempt to send the specified presence updates to each user when possible.
+
+```python
+async def get_interested_users(
+        self, 
+        user_id: str
+) -> Union[Set[str], "synapse.module_api.PRESENCE_ALL_USERS"]
+```
+**Requires** `get_users_for_states` to also be registered
+
+Called when determining which users someone should be able to see the presence state of. This
+callback should return complementary results to `get_users_for_state` or the presence information 
+may not be properly forwarded.
+
+The callback is given the Matrix user ID for a local user that is requesting presence data and
+should return the Matrix user IDs of the users whose presence state they are allowed to
+query. The returned users can be local or remote. 
+
+Alternatively the callback can return `synapse.module_api.PRESENCE_ALL_USERS`
+to indicate that the user should receive updates from all known users.
+
+For example, 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.

+# Using a forward proxy with Synapse
+
+You can use Synapse with a forward or outbound proxy. An example of when
+this is necessary is in corporate environments behind a DMZ (demilitarized zone).
+Synapse supports routing outbound HTTP(S) requests via a proxy. Only HTTP(S)
+proxy is supported, not SOCKS proxy or anything else.
+
+## Configure
+
+The `http_proxy`, `https_proxy`, `no_proxy` environment variables are used to
+specify proxy settings. The environment variable is not case sensitive.
+- `http_proxy`: Proxy server to use for HTTP requests.
+- `https_proxy`: Proxy server to use for HTTPS requests.
+- `no_proxy`: Comma-separated list of hosts, IP addresses, or IP ranges in CIDR
+  format which should not use the proxy. Synapse will directly connect to these hosts.
+
+The `http_proxy` and `https_proxy` environment variables have the form: `[scheme://][<username>:<password>@]<host>[:<port>]`
+- Supported schemes are `http://` and `https://`. The default scheme is `http://`
+  for compatibility reasons; it is recommended to set a scheme. If scheme is set
+  to `https://` the connection uses TLS between Synapse and the proxy.
+
+  **NOTE**: Synapse validates the certificates. If the certificate is not
+  valid, then the connection is dropped.
+- Default port if not given is `1080`.
+- Username and password are optional and will be used to authenticate against
+  the proxy.
+
+**Examples**
+- HTTP_PROXY=http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@10.0.1.1:8080/
+- HTTPS_PROXY=http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@proxy.example.com:8080/
+- NO_PROXY=master.hostname.example.com,10.1.0.0/16,172.30.0.0/16
+
+**NOTE**:
+Synapse does not apply the IP blacklist to connections through the proxy (since
+the DNS resolution is done by the proxy). It is expected that the proxy or firewall
+will apply blacklisting of IP addresses.
+
+## Connection types
+
+The proxy will be **used** for:
+
+- push
+- url previews
+- phone-home stats
+- recaptcha validation
+- CAS auth validation
+- OpenID Connect
+- Outbound federation
+- Federation (checking public key revocation)
+- Fetching public keys of other servers
+- Downloading remote media
+
+It will **not be used** for:
+
+- Application Services
+- Identity servers
+- In worker configurations
+  - connections between workers
+  - connections from workers to Redis
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If a proxy server is used with TLS (HTTPS) and no connections are established,
+it is most likely due to the proxy's certificates. To test this, the validation
+in Synapse can be deactivated.
+
+**NOTE**: This has an impact on security and is for testing purposes only!
+
+To deactivate the certificate validation, the following setting must be made in
+[homserver.yaml](../usage/configuration/homeserver_sample_config.md).
+
+```yaml
+use_insecure_ssl_client_just_for_testing_do_not_use: true
+```

+# Templates
+
+Synapse uses parametrised templates to generate the content of emails it sends and
+webpages it shows to users.
+
+By default, Synapse will use the templates listed [here](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/synapse/res/templates).
+Server admins can configure an additional directory for Synapse to look for templates
+in, allowing them to specify custom templates:
+
+```yaml
+templates:
+  custom_templates_directory: /path/to/custom/templates/
+```
+
+If this setting is not set, or the files named below are not found within the directory,
+default templates from within the Synapse package will be used.
+
+Templates that are given variables when being rendered are rendered using [Jinja 2](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/2.11.x/).
+Templates rendered by Jinja 2 can also access two functions on top of the functions
+already available as part of Jinja 2:
+
+```python
+format_ts(value: int, format: str) -> str
+```
+
+Formats a timestamp in milliseconds.
+
+Example: `reason.last_sent_ts|format_ts("%c")`
+
+```python
+mxc_to_http(value: str, width: int, height: int, resize_method: str = "crop") -> str
+```
+
+Turns a `mxc://` URL for media content into an HTTP(S) one using the homeserver's
+`public_baseurl` configuration setting as the URL's base.
+
+Example: `message.sender_avatar_url|mxc_to_http(32,32)`
+
+
+## Email templates
+
+Below are the templates Synapse will look for when generating the content of an email:
+

+  events.
+  When rendering, this template is given the following variables:
+    * `user_display_name`: the display name for the user receiving the notification
+    * `unsubscribe_link`: the link users can click to unsubscribe from email notifications
+    * `summary_text`: a summary of the notification(s). The text used can be customised
+      by configuring the various settings in the `email.subjects` section of the
+      configuration file.

+          before ever emailing about a notification (to give the user a chance to respond
+          to other push or notice the window)
+        * `last_sent_ts`: the time in milliseconds at which a notification was last sent
+          for an event in this room
+        * `throttle_ms`: the minimum amount of time in milliseconds between two
+          notifications can be sent for this room

+                   human-readable URL to show to users, not to use it as
+                   the final address to redirect to.

+        * `idp_brand`: if specified in the IdP config, a textual identifier
+             for the brand of the IdP
+* `sso_auth_success.html`: HTML page shown after a successful user interactive
+  authentication session.
+  Note that this page must include the JavaScript which notifies of a successful

+# Upgrading to v1.42.0
+
+## Removal of old Room Admin API
+
+The following admin APIs were deprecated in [Synapse 1.25](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/v1.25.0/CHANGES.md#removal-warning)
+(released on 2021-01-13) and have now been removed:
+
+-   `POST /_synapse/admin/v1/purge_room`
+-   `POST /_synapse/admin/v1/shutdown_room/<room_id>`
+
+Any scripts still using the above APIs should be converted to use the
+[Delete Room API](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/admin_api/rooms.html#delete-room-api).
+
+## User-interactive authentication fallback templates can now display errors
+
+This may affect you if you make use of custom HTML templates for the
+[reCAPTCHA](../synapse/res/templates/recaptcha.html) or
+[terms](../synapse/res/templates/terms.html) fallback pages.
+
+The template is now provided an `error` variable if the authentication
+process failed. See the default templates linked above for an example.
+
+## Removal of out-of-date email pushers
+
+Users will stop receiving message updates via email for addresses that were
+once, but not still, linked to their account.
+
+
+# Upgrading to v1.41.0
+
+## Add support for routing outbound HTTP requests via a proxy for federation
+
+Since Synapse 1.6.0 (2019-11-26) you can set a proxy for outbound HTTP requests via
+http_proxy/https_proxy environment variables. This proxy was set for:
+- push
+- url previews
+- phone-home stats
+- recaptcha validation
+- CAS auth validation
+- OpenID Connect
+- Federation (checking public key revocation)
+
+In this version we have added support for outbound requests for:
+- Outbound federation
+- Downloading remote media
+- Fetching public keys of other servers
+
+These requests use the same proxy configuration. If you have a proxy configuration we
+recommend to verify the configuration. It may be necessary to adjust the `no_proxy`
+environment variable.
+
+See [using a forward proxy with Synapse documentation](setup/forward_proxy.md) for
+details.
+
+## Deprecation of `template_dir`
+
+The `template_dir` settings in the `sso`, `account_validity` and `email` sections of the
+configuration file are now deprecated. Server admins should use the new
+`templates.custom_template_directory` setting in the configuration file and use one single
+custom template directory for all aforementioned features. Template file names remain
+unchanged. See [the related documentation](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/templates.html)
+for more information and examples.
+
+We plan to remove support for these settings in October 2021.
+
+## `/_synapse/admin/v1/users/{userId}/media` must be handled by media workers
+
+The [media repository worker documentation](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/workers.html#synapseappmedia_repository)
+has been updated to reflect that calls to `/_synapse/admin/v1/users/{userId}/media`
+must now be handled by media repository workers. This is due to the new `DELETE` method
+of this endpoint modifying the media store.

+# Registration Tokens
+
+This API allows you to manage tokens which can be used to authenticate
+registration requests, as proposed in [MSC3231](https://github.com/govynnus/matrix-doc/blob/token-registration/proposals/3231-token-authenticated-registration.md).
+To use it, you will need to enable the `registration_requires_token` config
+option, and authenticate by providing an `access_token` for a server admin:
+see [Admin API](../../usage/administration/admin_api).
+Note that this API is still experimental; not all clients may support it yet.
+
+
+## Registration token objects
+
+Most endpoints make use of JSON objects that contain details about tokens.
+These objects have the following fields:
+- `token`: The token which can be used to authenticate registration.
+- `uses_allowed`: The number of times the token can be used to complete a
+  registration before it becomes invalid.
+- `pending`: The number of pending uses the token has. When someone uses
+  the token to authenticate themselves, the pending counter is incremented
+  so that the token is not used more than the permitted number of times.
+  When the person completes registration the pending counter is decremented,
+  and the completed counter is incremented.
+- `completed`: The number of times the token has been used to successfully
+  complete a registration.
+- `expiry_time`: The latest time the token is valid. Given as the number of
+  milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (the start of the Unix epoch).
+  To convert this into a human-readable form you can remove the milliseconds

+## Get one token
+
+Get details about a single token. If the request is successful, the response
+body will be a registration token object.
+
+```
+GET /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/<token>
+```
+
+Path parameters:
+- `token`: The registration token to return details of.
+
+Example:
+
+```
+GET /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/abcd
+```
+```
+200 OK
+
+{
+    "token": "abcd",
+    "uses_allowed": 3,
+    "pending": 0,
+    "completed": 1,
+    "expiry_time": null
+}
+```
+
+
+## Create token
+
+Create a new registration token. If the request is successful, the newly created
+token will be returned as a registration token object in the response body.
+
+```
+POST /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/new
+```
+
+The request body must be a JSON object and can contain the following fields:
+- `token`: The registration token. A string of no more than 64 characters that
+  consists only of characters matched by the regex `[A-Za-z0-9-_]`.
+  Default: randomly generated.
+- `uses_allowed`: The integer number of times the token can be used to complete
+  a registration before it becomes invalid.
+  Default: `null` (unlimited uses).
+- `expiry_time`: The latest time the token is valid. Given as the number of
+  milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (the start of the Unix epoch).
+  You could use, for example, `date '+%s000' -d 'tomorrow'`.
+  Default: `null` (token does not expire).
+- `length`: The length of the token randomly generated if `token` is not
+  specified. Must be between 1 and 64 inclusive. Default: `16`.
+
+If a field is omitted the default is used.
+
+Example using defaults:
+
+```
+POST /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/new
+
+{}
+```
+```
+200 OK
+
+{
+    "token": "0M-9jbkf2t_Tgiw1",
+    "uses_allowed": null,
+    "pending": 0,
+    "completed": 0,
+    "expiry_time": null
+}
+```
+
+Example specifying some fields:
+
+```
+POST /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/new
+
+{
+    "token": "defg",
+    "uses_allowed": 1
+}
+```
+```
+200 OK
+
+{
+    "token": "defg",
+    "uses_allowed": 1,
+    "pending": 0,
+    "completed": 0,
+    "expiry_time": null
+}
+```
+
+
+## Update token
+
+Update the number of allowed uses or expiry time of a token. If the request is
+successful, the updated token will be returned as a registration token object
+in the response body.
+
+```
+PUT /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/<token>
+```
+
+Path parameters:
+- `token`: The registration token to update.
+
+The request body must be a JSON object and can contain the following fields:
+- `uses_allowed`: The integer number of times the token can be used to complete
+  a registration before it becomes invalid. By setting `uses_allowed` to `0`
+  the token can be easily made invalid without deleting it.
+  If `null` the token will have an unlimited number of uses.
+- `expiry_time`: The latest time the token is valid. Given as the number of
+  milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (the start of the Unix epoch).
+  If `null` the token will not expire.
+
+If a field is omitted its value is not modified.
+
+Example:
+
+```
+PUT /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/defg
+
+{
+    "expiry_time": 4781243146000    // 2121-07-06 11:05:46 UTC
+}
+```
+```
+200 OK
+
+{
+    "token": "defg",
+    "uses_allowed": 1,
+    "pending": 0,
+    "completed": 0,
+    "expiry_time": 4781243146000
+}
+```
+
+
+## Delete token
+
+Delete a registration token. If the request is successful, the response body
+will be an empty JSON object.
+
+```
+DELETE /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/<token>
+```
+
+Path parameters:
+- `token`: The registration token to delete.
+
+Example:
+
+```
+DELETE /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/wxyz
+```
+```
+200 OK
+
+{}
+```
+
+
+## Errors
+
+If a request fails a "standard error response" will be returned as defined in
+the [Matrix Client-Server API specification](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#api-standards).
+
+For example, if the token specified in a path parameter does not exist a
+`404 Not Found` error will be returned.
+
+```
+GET /_synapse/admin/v1/registration_tokens/1234
+```
+```
+404 Not Found
+
+{
+    "errcode": "M_NOT_FOUND",
+    "error": "No such registration token: 1234"
+}

-        #
-        # Update richvdh 2018/09/18: There are a number of problems with timing this
-        # request out aggressively on the client side:
-        #
-        # - it plays badly with the server-side rate-limiter, which starts tarpitting you
-        #   if you send too many requests at once, so you end up with the server carefully
-        #   working through the backlog of your requests, which you have already timed
-        #   out.
-        #
-        # - for this request in particular, we now (as of
-        #   https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/3456) reject any PDUs where the
-        #   server can't produce a plausible-looking set of prev_events - so we becone
-        #   much more likely to reject the event.
-        #
-        # - contrary to what it says above, we do *not* fall back to fetching fresh state
-        #   for the room if get_missing_events times out. Rather, we give up processing
-        #   the PDU whose prevs we are missing, which then makes it much more likely that
-        #   we'll end up back here for the *next* PDU in the list, which exacerbates the
-        #   problem.
-        #
-        # - the aggressive 10s timeout was introduced to deal with incoming federation
-        #   requests taking 8 hours to process. It's not entirely clear why that was going
-        #   on; certainly there were other issues causing traffic storms which are now
-        #   resolved, and I think in any case we may be more sensible about our locking
-        #   now. We're *certainly* more sensible about our logging.

+        # Update richvdh 2018/09/18: There are a number of problems with timing this
+        # request out aggressively on the client side:
+        #
+        # - it plays badly with the server-side rate-limiter, which starts tarpitting you
+        #   if you send too many requests at once, so you end up with the server carefully
+        #   working through the backlog of your requests, which you have already timed
+        #   out.
+        #
+        # - for this request in particular, we now (as of
+        #   https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/3456) reject any PDUs where the
+        #   server can't produce a plausible-looking set of prev_events - so we becone
+        #   much more likely to reject the event.
+        #
+        # - contrary to what it says above, we do *not* fall back to fetching fresh state
+        #   for the room if get_missing_events times out. Rather, we give up processing
+        #   the PDU whose prevs we are missing, which then makes it much more likely that
+        #   we'll end up back here for the *next* PDU in the list, which exacerbates the
+        #   problem.
+        #
+        # - the aggressive 10s timeout was introduced to deal with incoming federation
+        #   requests taking 8 hours to process. It's not entirely clear why that was going
+        #   on; certainly there were other issues causing traffic storms which are now
+        #   resolved, and I think in any case we may be more sensible about our locking
+        #   now. We're *certainly* more sensible about our logging.
