## Security advisory

The following issues are fixed in 1.85.0 (and RCs).

- [GHSA-26c5-ppr8-f33p](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-26c5-ppr8-f33p) / [CVE-2023-32682](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-32682) — Low Severity

  It may be possible for a deactivated user to login when using uncommon configurations.

- [GHSA-98px-6486-j7qc](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-98px-6486-j7qc) / [CVE-2023-32683](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-32683) — Low Severity

  A discovered oEmbed or image URL can bypass the `url_preview_url_blacklist` setting potentially allowing server side request forgery or bypassing network policies. Impact is limited to IP addresses allowed by the `url_preview_ip_range_blacklist` setting (by default this only allows public IPs).

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.

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.

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))


Synapse 1.76.0rc2 (2023-01-27)
==============================

Bugfixes
--------

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

- Faster joins: Improve performance of looking up partial-state status of rooms. ([\#14917](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14917))
