# Synapse 1.94.0 (2023-10-10)

No significant changes since 1.94.0rc1.
However, please take note of the security advisory that follows.

## Security advisory

The following issue is fixed in 1.94.0 (and RC).

- [GHSA-5chr-wjw5-3gq4](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-5chr-wjw5-3gq4) / [CVE-2023-45129](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-45129) — Moderate Severity

  A malicious server ACL event can impact performance temporarily or permanently leading to a persistent denial of service.

  Homeservers running on a closed federation (which presumably do not need to use server ACLs) are not affected.

See the advisory for more details. If you have any questions, email security@matrix.org.

# Synapse 1.92.3 (2023-09-18)

This is again a security update targeted at mitigating [CVE-2023-4863](https://cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-4863).
It turns out that libwebp is bundled statically in Pillow wheels so we need to update this dependency instead of
libwebp package at the OS level.

Unlike what was advertised in 1.92.2 changelog this release also impacts PyPI wheels and Debian packages from matrix.org.

We encourage admins to upgrade as soon as possible.


### Internal Changes

- Pillow 10.0.1 is now mandatory because of libwebp CVE-2023-4863, since Pillow provides libwebp in the wheels. ([\#16347](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16347))

### Updates to locked dependencies

* Bump pillow from 10.0.0 to 10.0.1. ([\#16344](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16344))

# Synapse 1.92.2 (2023-09-15)

This is a Docker-only update to mitigate [CVE-2023-4863](https://cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-4863), a critical vulnerability in `libwebp`. Server admins not using Docker should ensure that their `libwebp` is up to date (if installed). We encourage admins to upgrade as soon as possible.


### Updates to the Docker image

- Update docker image to use Debian bookworm as the base. ([\#16324](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16324))


# Synapse 1.92.1 (2023-09-12)

This minor release was needed only because of CI-related trouble on [v1.92.0](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/releases/tag/v1.92.0), which was never released.

### Internal Changes

- Stop building Ubuntu Kinetic since it is EOL and repos seem to be dead.

Synapse 1.84.1 (2023-05-26)
===========================

This patch release fixes a major issue with homeservers that do not have an `instance_map` defined but which do use workers.
If you have already upgraded to Synapse 1.84.0 and your homeserver is working normally, then there is no need to update to this patch release.


Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.84.0 where workers do not start up when no `instance_map` was provided. ([\#15672](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15672))


Internal Changes
----------------

- Add `dch` and `notify-send` to the development Nix flake so that the release script can be used. ([\#15673](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15673))


Synapse 1.84.0 (2023-05-23)
===========================

The `worker_replication_*` configuration settings have been deprecated in favour of configuring the main process consistently with other instances in the `instance_map`. The deprecated settings will be removed in Synapse v1.88.0, but changing your configuration in advance is recommended. See the [upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.84/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1840) for more information.

Bugfixes
--------

Synapse 1.81.0 (2023-04-11)
===========================

Synapse now attempts the versioned appservice paths before falling back to the
[legacy paths](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.6/application-service-api/#legacy-routes).
Usage of the legacy routes should be considered deprecated.

Additionally, Synapse has supported sending the application service access token
via [the `Authorization` header](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.6/application-service-api/#authorization)
since v1.70.0. For backwards compatibility it is *also* sent as the `access_token`
query parameter. This is insecure and should be considered deprecated.

A future version of Synapse (v1.88.0 or later) will remove support for legacy
application service routes and query parameter authorization.


No significant changes since 1.81.0rc2.

Synapse 1.76.0 (2023-01-31)
===========================

The 1.76 release is the first to enable faster joins ([MSC3706](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3706) and [MSC3902](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3902)) by default. Admins can opt-out: see [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.76/docs/upgrade.md#faster-joins-are-enabled-by-default) for more details.

The upgrade from 1.75 to 1.76 changes the account data replication streams in a backwards-incompatible manner. Server operators running a multi-worker deployment should consult [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.76/docs/upgrade.md#changes-to-the-account-data-replication-streams).

Those who are `poetry install`ing from source using our lockfile should ensure their poetry version is 1.3.2 or higher; [see upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.76/docs/upgrade.md#minimum-version-of-poetry-is-now-132).


Notes on faster joins
---------------------

The faster joins project sees the most benefit when joining a room with a large number of members (joined or historical). We expect it to be particularly useful for joining large public rooms like the [Matrix HQ](https://matrix.to/#/#matrix:matrix.org) or [Synapse Admins](https://matrix.to/#/#synapse:matrix.org) rooms.

After a faster join, Synapse considers that room "partially joined". In this state, you should be able to

- read incoming messages;
- see incoming state changes, e.g. room topic changes; and
- send messages, if the room is unencrypted.

Synapse has to spend more effort to complete the join in the background. Once this finishes, you will be able to

- send messages, if the room is in encrypted;
- retrieve room history from before your join, if permitted by the room settings; and
- access the full list of room members.


Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Describe the ideas and the internal machinery behind faster joins. ([\#14677](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14677))

Internal Changes
----------------

- Faster remote room joins: stream the un-partial-stating of events over replication. ([\#14545](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14545), [\#14546](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14546))
- Use [ruff](https://github.com/charliermarsh/ruff/) instead of flake8. ([\#14633](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14633), [\#14741](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14741))
- Change `handle_new_client_event` signature so that a 429 does not reach clients on `PartialStateConflictError`, and internally retry when needed instead. ([\#14665](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14665))
- Remove dependency on jQuery on reCAPTCHA page. ([\#14672](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14672))
- Faster joins: make `compute_state_after_events` consistent with other state-fetching functions that take a `StateFilter`. ([\#14676](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14676))
- Add missing type hints. ([\#14680](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14680), [\#14681](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14681), [\#14687](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14687))
- Improve type annotations for the helper methods on a `CachedFunction`. ([\#14685](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14685))
- Check that the SQLite database file exists before porting to PostgreSQL. ([\#14692](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14692))
- Add `.direnv/` directory to .gitignore to prevent local state generated by the [direnv](https://direnv.net/) development tool from being committed. ([\#14707](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14707))
- Batch up replication requests to request the resyncing of remote users's devices. ([\#14716](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14716))
- If debug logging is enabled, log the `msgid`s of any to-device messages that are returned over `/sync`. ([\#14724](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14724))
- Change GHA CI job to follow best practices. ([\#14772](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14772))
- Switch to our fork of `dh-virtualenv` to work around an upstream Python 3.11 incompatibility. ([\#14774](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14774))
- Skip testing built wheels for PyPy 3.7 on Linux x86_64 as we lack new required dependencies in the build environment. ([\#14802](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14802))
