This mitigates an attack where malicious events + injected with depth = 2**63 - 1 render rooms unusable. Depth is used to + determine the cosmetic ordering of events within a room, and so the ordering + of events in such a room will default to using stream_ordering rather than depth + (topological_ordering). + + This is a temporary solution to mitigate abuse in the wild, whilst a long solution + is being implemented to improve how the depth parameter is used. + + Full details at + https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I3fi2S-XnpO45qrpCsowZv8P8dHcNZ4fsBsbOW7KABI/edit# + +* Pin Twisted to <18.4 until we stop using the private _OpenSSLECCurve API. + + Changes in synapse v0.28.0 (2018-04-26) -=========================================== +======================================= Bug Fixes: |
