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 term solution - is being implemented to improve how the depth parameter is used. - - Full details at - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I3fi2S-XnpO45qrpCsowZv8P8dHcNZ4fsBsbOW7KABI - -* Pin Twisted to <18.4 until we stop using the private _OpenSSLECCurve API. - - -Changes in synapse v0.28.0 (2018-04-26) -======================================= - -Bug Fixes: - -* Fix quarantine media admin API and search reindex (PR #3130) -* Fix media admin APIs (PR #3134) - - -Changes in synapse v0.28.0-rc1 (2018-04-24) -=========================================== - -Minor performance improvement to federation sending and bug fixes. - -(Note: This release does not include the delta state resolution implementation discussed in matrix live) - - -Features: - -* Add metrics for event processing lag (PR #3090) -* Add metrics for ResponseCache (PR #3092) - -Changes: - -* Synapse on PyPy (PR #2760) Thanks to @Valodim! -* move handling of auto_join_rooms to RegisterHandler (PR #2996) Thanks to @krombel! -* Improve handling of SRV records for federation connections (PR #3016) Thanks to @silkeh! -* Document the behaviour of ResponseCache (PR #3059) -* Preparation for py3 (PR #3061, #3073, #3074, #3075, #3103, #3104, #3106, #3107, #3109, #3110) Thanks to @NotAFile! -* update prometheus dashboard to use new metric names (PR #3069) Thanks to @krombel! -* use python3-compatible prints (PR #3074) Thanks to @NotAFile! -* Send federation events concurrently (PR #3078) -* Limit concurrent event sends for a room (PR #3079) -* Improve R30 stat definition (PR #3086) -* Send events to ASes concurrently (PR #3088) -* Refactor ResponseCache usage (PR #3093) -* Clarify that SRV may not point to a CNAME (PR #3100) Thanks to @silkeh! -* Use str(e) instead of e.message (PR #3103) Thanks to @NotAFile! -* Use six.itervalues in some places (PR #3106) Thanks to @NotAFile! -* Refactor store.have_events (PR #3117) - -Bug Fixes: - -* Return 401 for invalid access_token on logout (PR #2938) Thanks to @dklug! -* Return a 404 rather than a 500 on rejoining empty rooms (PR #3080) -* fix federation_domain_whitelist (PR #3099) -* Avoid creating events with huge numbers of prev_events (PR #3113) -* Reject events which have lots of prev_events (PR #3118) - - -Changes in synapse v0.27.4 (2018-04-13) -====================================== - -Changes: - -* Update canonicaljson dependency (#3095) - - -Changes in synapse v0.27.3 (2018-04-11) -====================================== - -Bug fixes: - -* URL quote path segments over federation (#3082) - -Changes in synapse v0.27.3-rc2 (2018-04-09) -========================================== - -v0.27.3-rc1 used a stale version of the develop branch so the changelog overstates -the functionality. v0.27.3-rc2 is up to date, rc1 should be ignored. - -Changes in synapse v0.27.3-rc1 (2018-04-09) -======================================= - -Notable changes include API support for joinability of groups.

A new worker file should be added with ``worker_app: synapse.app.homeserver``. - -This release also begins the process of renaming a number of the metrics -reported to prometheus.
