This is the behaviour required by the + specification, but some clients may be relying on the old, incorrect + behaviour. + + Thanks to @NotAFile for fixing this. + + +Changes in synapse v0.28.1 (2018-05-01) +======================================= + +SECURITY UPDATE + +* Clamp the allowed values of event depth received over federation to be + [0, 2^63 - 1]. 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.
