Synapse 1.3.0 (2019-08-15)
==========================

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix 500 Internal Server Error on `publicRooms` when the public room list was
  cached. ([\#5851](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5851))

Synapse 1.3.0rc1 (2019-08-13)
==========================

Features
--------

- Use `M_USER_DEACTIVATED` instead of `M_UNKNOWN` for errcode when a deactivated user attempts to login. ([\#5686](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5686))
- Add sd_notify hooks to ease systemd integration and allows usage of Type=Notify. ([\#5732](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5732))
- Synapse will no longer serve any media repo admin endpoints when `enable_media_repo` is set to False in the configuration. If a media repo worker is used, the admin APIs relating to the media repo will be served from it instead. ([\#5754](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5754), [\#5848](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5848))
- Synapse can now be configured to not join remote rooms of a given "complexity" (currently, state events) over federation. This option can be used to prevent adverse performance on resource-constrained homeservers. ([\#5783](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5783))
- Allow defining HTML templates to serve the user on account renewal attempt when using the account validity feature. ([\#5807](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5807))

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix UISIs during homeserver outage. ([\#5693](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5693), [\#5789](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5789))
- Fix stack overflow in server key lookup code. ([\#5724](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5724))
- start.sh no longer uses deprecated cli option. ([\#5725](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5725))
- Log when we receive an event receipt from an unexpected origin. ([\#5743](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5743))
- Fix debian packaging scripts to correctly build sid packages. ([\#5775](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5775))
- Correctly handle redactions of redactions. ([\#5788](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5788))
- Return 404 instead of 403 when accessing /rooms/{roomId}/event/{eventId} for an event without the appropriate permissions. ([\#5798](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5798))
- Fix check that tombstone is a state event in push rules. ([\#5804](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5804))
- Fix error when trying to login as a deactivated user when using a worker to handle login. ([\#5806](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5806))
- Fix bug where user `/sync` stream could get wedged in rare circumstances. ([\#5825](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5825))
- The purge_remote_media.sh script was fixed. ([\#5839](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5839))

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- Synapse now no longer accepts the `-v`/`--verbose`, `-f`/`--log-file`, or `--log-config` command line flags, and removes the deprecated `verbose` and `log_file` configuration file options. Users of these options should migrate their options into the dedicated log configuration. ([\#5678](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5678), [\#5729](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5729))
- Remove non-functional 'expire_access_token' setting. ([\#5782](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5782))

+Configuration file format
+-------------------------
 
-    An effort should be made to keep the individual imports in alphabetical
-    order.
+The `sample configuration file <./sample_config.yaml>`_ acts as a reference to
+Synapse's configuration options for server administrators. Remember that many
+readers will be unfamiliar with YAML and server administration in general, so
+that it is important that the file be as easy to understand as possible, which
+includes following a consistent format.
 
-    If the list becomes long, wrap it with parentheses and split it over
-    multiple lines.
+Some guidelines follow:
 
-  - As per `PEP-8 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#imports>`_,
-    imports should be grouped in the following order, with a blank line between
-    each group:
+* Sections should be separated with a heading consisting of a single line
+  prefixed and suffixed with ``##``. There should be **two** blank lines
+  before the section header, and **one** after.
 
-    1. standard library imports
-    2. related third party imports
-    3. local application/library specific imports
+* Each option should be listed in the file with the following format:
 
-  - Imports within each group should be sorted alphabetically by module name.
+  * A comment describing the setting. Each line of this comment should be
+    prefixed with a hash (``#``) and a space.
 
-  - Avoid wildcard imports (``from synapse.types import *``) and relative
-    imports (``from .types import UserID``).
+    The comment should describe the default behaviour (ie, what happens if
+    the setting is omitted), as well as what the effect will be if the
+    setting is changed.
+
+    Often, the comment end with something like "uncomment the
+    following to \<do action>".
+
+  * A line consisting of only ``#``.
+
+  * A commented-out example setting, prefixed with only ``#``.
+
+    For boolean (on/off) options, convention is that this example should be
+    the *opposite* to the default (so the comment will end with "Uncomment
+    the following to enable [or disable] \<feature\>." For other options,
+    the example should give some non-default value which is likely to be
+    useful to the reader.
+
+* There should be a blank line between each option.
+
+* Where several settings are grouped into a single dict, *avoid* the
+  convention where the whole block is commented out, resulting in comment
+  lines starting ``# #``, as this is hard to read and confusing to
+  edit. Instead, leave the top-level config option uncommented, and follow
+  the conventions above for sub-options. Ensure that your code correctly
+  handles the top-level option being set to ``None`` (as it will be if no
+  sub-options are enabled).
+
+* Lines should be wrapped at 80 characters.
+
+Example::
+
+    ## Frobnication ##
+
+    # The frobnicator will ensure that all requests are fully frobnicated.
+    # To enable it, uncomment the following.
+    #
+    #frobnicator_enabled: true
+
+    # By default, the frobnicator will frobnicate with the default frobber.
+    # The following will make it use an alternative frobber.
+    #
+    #frobincator_frobber: special_frobber
+
+    # Settings for the frobber
+    #
+    frobber:
+       # frobbing speed. Defaults to 1.
+       #
+       #speed: 10
+
+       # frobbing distance. Defaults to 1000.
+       #
+       #distance: 100
+
+Note that the sample configuration is generated from the synapse code and is
+maintained by a script, ``scripts-dev/generate_sample_config``. Making sure
+that the output from this script matches the desired format is left as an
+exercise for the reader!
