They provide a +channel whereby server administrators can send messages to users on the server. + +They are used as part of communication of the server policies (see ``docs/consent_tracking.md``), +however the intention is that they may also find a use for features such +as "Message of the day". + +This feature is specific to Synapse, but uses standard Matrix communication mechanisms, +so should work with any Matrix client. For more details see ``docs/server_notices.md`` + +Further Server Notices/Consent Tracking Support: + +* Allow overriding the server_notices user's avatar (PR #3273) +* Use the localpart in the consent uri (PR #3272) +* Support for putting %(consent_uri)s in messages (PR #3271) +* Block attempts to send server notices to remote users (PR #3270) +* Docs on consent bits (PR #3268) + + + +Changes in synapse v0.30.0-rc1 (2018-05-23) +========================================== + +Server Notices/Consent Tracking Support: + +* ConsentResource to gather policy consent from users (PR #3213) +* Move RoomCreationHandler out of synapse.handlers.Handlers (PR #3225) +* Infrastructure for a server notices room (PR #3232) +* Send users a server notice about consent (PR #3236) +* Reject attempts to send event before privacy consent is given (PR #3257) +* Add a 'has_consented' template var to consent forms (PR #3262) +* Fix dependency on jinja2 (PR #3263) + +Features: + +* Cohort analytics (PR #3163, #3241, #3251) +* Add lxml to docker image for web previews (PR #3239) Thanks to @ptman! +* Add in flight request metrics (PR #3252) + +Changes: + +* Remove unused `update_external_syncs` (PR #3233) +* Use stream rather depth ordering for push actions (PR #3212) +* Make purge_history operate on tokens (PR #3221) +* Don't support limitless pagination (PR #3265) + +Bug Fixes: + +* Fix logcontext resource usage tracking (PR #3258) +* Fix error in handling receipts (PR #3235) +* Stop the transaction cache caching failures (PR #3255) + + +Changes in synapse v0.29.1 (2018-05-17) +========================================== +Changes: + +* Update docker documentation (PR #3222) + +Changes in synapse v0.29.0 (2018-05-16) +=========================================== +Not changes since v0.29.0-rc1 + +Changes in synapse v0.29.0-rc1 (2018-05-14) +=========================================== + +Notable changes, a docker file for running Synapse (Thanks to @kaiyou!) and a +closed spec bug in the Client Server API. Additionally further prep for Python 3 +migration. + +Potentially breaking change: + +* Make Client-Server API return 401 for invalid token (PR #3161). + + This changes the Client-server spec to return a 401 error code instead of 403 + when the access token is unrecognised. 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. + +Features: + +* Add a Dockerfile for synapse (PR #2846) Thanks to @kaiyou! + +Changes - General: + +* nuke-room-from-db.sh: added postgresql option and help (PR #2337) Thanks to @rubo77! +* Part user from rooms on account deactivate (PR #3201) +* Make 'unexpected logging context' into warnings (PR #3007) +* Set Server header in SynapseRequest (PR #3208) +* remove duplicates from groups tables (PR #3129) +* Improve exception handling for background processes (PR #3138) +* Add missing consumeErrors to improve exception handling (PR #3139) +* reraise exceptions more carefully (PR #3142) +* Remove redundant call to preserve_fn (PR #3143) +* Trap exceptions thrown within run_in_background (PR #3144) + +Changes - Refactors: + +* Refactor /context to reuse pagination storage functions (PR #3193) +* Refactor recent events func to use pagination func (PR #3195) +* Refactor pagination DB API to return concrete type (PR #3196) +* Refactor get_recent_events_for_room return type (PR #3198) +* Refactor sync APIs to reuse pagination API (PR #3199) +* Remove unused code path from member change DB func (PR #3200) +* Refactor request handling wrappers (PR #3203) +* transaction_id, destination defined twice (PR #3209) Thanks to @damir-manapov! +* Refactor event storage to prepare for changes in state calculations (PR #3141) +* Set Server header in SynapseRequest (PR #3208) +* Use deferred.addTimeout instead of time_bound_deferred (PR #3127, #3178) +* Use run_in_background in preference to preserve_fn (PR #3140) + +Changes - Python 3 migration: + +* Construct HMAC as bytes on py3 (PR #3156) Thanks to @NotAFile! +* run config tests on py3 (PR #3159) Thanks to @NotAFile! +* Open certificate files as bytes (PR #3084) Thanks to @NotAFile! +* Open config file in non-bytes mode (PR #3085) Thanks to @NotAFile! +* Make event properties raise AttributeError instead (PR #3102) Thanks to @NotAFile! +* Use six.moves.urlparse (PR #3108) Thanks to @NotAFile! +* Add py3 tests to tox with folders that work (PR #3145) Thanks to @NotAFile! +* Don't yield in list comprehensions (PR #3150) Thanks to @NotAFile! +* Move more xrange to six (PR #3151) Thanks to @NotAFile! +* make imports local (PR #3152) Thanks to @NotAFile! +* move httplib import to six (PR #3153) Thanks to @NotAFile! +* Replace stringIO imports with six (PR #3154, #3168) Thanks to @NotAFile! +* more bytes strings (PR #3155) Thanks to @NotAFile! + +Bug Fixes: + +* synapse fails to start under Twisted >= 18.4 (PR #3157) +* Fix a class of logcontext leaks (PR #3170) +* Fix a couple of logcontext leaks in unit tests (PR #3172) +* Fix logcontext leak in media repo (PR #3174) +* Escape label values in prometheus metrics (PR #3175, #3186) +* Fix 'Unhandled Error' logs with Twisted 18.4 (PR #3182) Thanks to @Half-Shot! +* Fix logcontext leaks in rate limiter (PR #3183) +* notifications: Convert next_token to string according to the spec (PR #3190) Thanks to @mujx! +* nuke-room-from-db.sh: fix deletion from search table (PR #3194) Thanks to @rubo77! +* add guard for None on purge_history api (PR #3160) Thanks to @krombel! + +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: -synctl no longer starts the main synapse when using ``-a`` option with workers. -A new worker file should be added with ``worker_app: synapse.app.homeserver``. +* 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. Also new metrics +and phone home stats. Phone home stats include better visibility of system usage +so we can tweak synpase to work better for all users rather than our own experience +with matrix.org. Also, recording 'r30' stat which is the measure we use to track +overal growth of the Matrix ecosystem. It is defined as:- + +Counts the number of native 30 day retained users, defined as:- + * Users who have created their accounts more than 30 days + * Where last seen at most 30 days ago + * Where account creation and last_seen are > 30 days" + + +Features: + +* Add joinability for groups (PR #3045) +* Implement group join API (PR #3046) +* Add counter metrics for calculating state delta (PR #3033) +* R30 stats (PR #3041) +* Measure time it takes to calculate state group ID (PR #3043) +* Add basic performance statistics to phone home (PR #3044) +* Add response size metrics (PR #3071) +* phone home cache size configurations (PR #3063) + +Changes: + +* Add a blurb explaining the main synapse worker (PR #2886) Thanks to @turt2live! +* Replace old style error catching with 'as' keyword (PR #3000) Thanks to @NotAFile! +* Use .iter* to avoid copies in StateHandler (PR #3006) +* Linearize calls to _generate_user_id (PR #3029) +* Remove last usage of ujson (PR #3030) +* Use simplejson throughout (PR #3048) +* Use static JSONEncoders (PR #3049) +* Remove uses of events.content (PR #3060) +* Improve database cache performance (PR #3068) + +Bug fixes: + +* Add room_id to the response of `rooms/{roomId}/join` (PR #2986) Thanks to @jplatte! +* Fix replication after switch to simplejson (PR #3015) +* 404 correctly on missing paths via NoResource (PR #3022) +* Fix error when claiming e2e keys from offline servers (PR #3034) +* fix tests/storage/test_user_directory.py (PR #3042) +* use PUT instead of POST for federating groups/m.join_policy (PR #3070) Thanks to @krombel! +* postgres port script: fix state_groups_pkey error (PR #3072) + + +Changes in synapse v0.27.2 (2018-03-26) +======================================= + +Bug fixes: + +* Fix bug which broke TCP replication between workers (PR #3015) + + +Changes in synapse v0.27.1 (2018-03-26) +======================================= + +Meta release as v0.27.0 temporarily pointed to the wrong commit + + +Changes in synapse v0.27.0 (2018-03-26) +======================================= + +No changes since v0.27.0-rc2 + + +Changes in synapse v0.27.0-rc2 (2018-03-19) +=========================================== + +Pulls in v0.26.1 + +Bug fixes: + +* Fix bug introduced in v0.27.0-rc1 that causes much increased memory usage in state cache (PR #3005) + + +Changes in synapse v0.26.1 (2018-03-15) +======================================= + +Bug fixes: + +* Fix bug where an invalid event caused server to stop functioning correctly, + due to parsing and serializing bugs in ujson library (PR #3008) + + +Changes in synapse v0.27.0-rc1 (2018-03-14) +=========================================== + +The common case for running Synapse is not to run separate workers, but for those that do, be aware that synctl no longer starts the main synapse when using ``-a`` option with workers. 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.
