The first was to ensure that changes are checked by +multiple authors before being committed (everyone makes mistakes!) and the second +was visibility of the documentation. Not everyone knows that Synapse has some very +useful information hidden away in its GitHub wiki pages. Bringing them to the +documentation website should help with visibility, as well as keep all Synapse documentation +in one, easily-searchable location. + +Note that contributions to the documentation website happen through [GitHub pull +requests](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pulls). Please visit [#synapse-dev:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#synapse-dev:matrix.org) +if you need help with the process! + + +Features +-------- + +- Add [MSC3030](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3030) experimental client and federation API endpoints to get the closest event to a given timestamp. ([\#9445](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9445)) +- Include bundled relation aggregations during a limited `/sync` request and `/relations` request, per [MSC2675](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2675).

([\#11306](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11306), [\#11475](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11475), [\#11479](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11479)) +- Support the stable API endpoints for [MSC2946](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2946): the room `/hierarchy` endpoint. ([\#11329](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11329)) +- Add admin API to get some information about federation status with remote servers. ([\#11407](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11407)) +- Support expiry of refresh tokens and expiry of the overall session when refresh tokens are in use. ([\#11425](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11425)) +- Stabilise support for [MSC2918](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/main/proposals/2918-refreshtokens.md#msc2918-refresh-tokens) refresh tokens as they have now been merged into the Matrix specification. ([\#11435](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11435), [\#11522](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11522)) +- Update [MSC2918 refresh token](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/main/proposals/2918-refreshtokens.md#msc2918-refresh-tokens) support to confirm with the latest revision: accept the `refresh_tokens` parameter in the request body rather than in the URL parameters. ([\#11430](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11430)) +- Support configuring the lifetime of non-refreshable access tokens separately to refreshable access tokens. ([\#11445](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11445)) +- Expose `synapse_homeserver` and `synapse_worker` commands as entry points to run Synapse's main process and worker processes, respectively. Contributed by @Ma27. ([\#11449](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11449)) +- `synctl stop` will now wait for Synapse to exit before returning. ([\#11459](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11459), [\#11490](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11490)) +- Extend the "delete room" admin api to work correctly on rooms which have previously been partially deleted. ([\#11523](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11523)) +- Add support for the `/_matrix/client/v3/login/sso/redirect/{idpId}` API from Matrix v1.1. This endpoint was overlooked when support for v3 endpoints was added in Synapse 1.48.0rc1. ([\#11451](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11451)) + + +Bugfixes +-------- + +- Fix using [MSC2716](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2716) batch sending in combination with event persistence workers. Contributed by @tulir at Beeper. ([\#11220](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11220)) +- Fix a long-standing bug where all requests that read events from the database could get stuck as a result of losing the database connection, properly this time. Also fix a race condition introduced in the previous insufficient fix in Synapse 1.47.0. ([\#11376](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11376)) +- The `/send_join` response now includes the stable `event` field instead of the unstable field from [MSC3083](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3083). ([\#11413](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11413)) +- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.47.0 where `send_join` could fail due to an outdated `ijson` version. ([\#11439](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11439), [\#11441](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11441), [\#11460](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11460)) +- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.36.0 which could cause problems fetching event-signing keys from trusted key servers.
