Synapse 1.13.0 (2020-05-19) =========================== This release brings some potential changes necessary for certain configurations of Synapse: * If your Synapse is configured to use SSO and have a custom `sso_redirect_confirm_template_dir` configuration option set, you will need to duplicate the new `sso_auth_confirm.html`, `sso_auth_success.html` and `sso_account_deactivated.html` templates into that directory. * Synapse plugins using the `complete_sso_login` method of `synapse.module_api.ModuleApi` should instead switch to the async/await version, `complete_sso_login_async`, which includes additional checks. The former version is now deprecated. * A bug was introduced in Synapse 1.4.0 which could cause the room directory to be incomplete or empty if Synapse was upgraded directly from v1.2.1 or earlier, to versions between v1.4.0 and v1.12.x. Please review [UPGRADE.rst](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/UPGRADE.rst) for more details on these changes and for general upgrade guidance. Notice of change to the default `git` branch for Synapse -------------------------------------------------------- With the release of Synapse 1.13.0, the default `git` branch for Synapse has changed to `develop`, which is the development tip. This is more consistent with common practice and modern `git` usage. The `master` branch, which tracks the latest release, is still available. It is recommended that developers and distributors who have scripts which run builds using the default branch of Synapse should therefore consider pinning their scripts to `master`. Features -------- - Extend the `web_client_location` option to accept an absolute URL to use as a redirect. Adds a warning when running the web client on the same hostname as homeserver.

Restart master and all workers. + +Once redis replication is in use, `worker_replication_port` is redundant and +can be removed from the worker configuration files. Similarly, the +configuration for the `listener` for the TCP replication port can be removed +from the main configuration file. Note that the HTTP replication port is +still required. + +### Using synctl + +If you want to use `synctl` to manage your synapse processes, you will need to +create an an additional configuration file for the master synapse process. That +configuration should look like this: + +```yaml +worker_app: synapse.app.homeserver +``` + +Additionally, each worker app must be configured with the name of a "pid file", +to which it will write its process ID when it starts. For example, for a +synchrotron, you might write: + +```yaml +worker_pid_file: /home/matrix/synapse/synchrotron.pid +``` + +Finally, to actually run your worker-based synapse, you must pass synctl the `-a` commandline option to tell it to operate on all the worker configurations found in the given directory, e.g.: |
