This is in the context of creating new module callbacks that modules in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-dinsic can use, in an effort to reconcile the spam checker API in synapse-dinsic with the one in mainline.
This adds a callback that's fairly similar to user_may_create_room except it also allows processing based on the invites sent at room creation.
- Use sytest:bionic. Sytest:latest is two years old (do we want
CI to push out latest at all?) and comes with Python 3.5, which we
explictly no longer support. The script now runs under PostgreSQL 10
as a result.
- Advertise script in the docs
- Move pg testing script to scripts-dev directory
- Write to host as the script's exector, not root
A few changes to make it speedier to re-run the tests:
- Create blank DB in the container, not the script, so we don't have to
`initdb` each time
- Use a named volume to persist the tox environment, so we don't have to
fetch and install a bunch of packages from PyPI each time

The major change is moving the decision of whether to use oEmbed
further up the call-stack. This reverts the _download_url method to
being a "dumb" functionwhich takes a single URL and downloads it
(as it was before #7920).
This also makes more minor refactorings:
* Renames internal variables for clarity.
* Factors out shared code between the HTML and rich oEmbed
previews.
* Fixes tests to preview an oEmbed image.
It's a simplification, but one that'll help make the user directory logic easier
to follow with the other changes upcoming. It's not strictly required for those
changes, but this will help simplify the resulting logic that listens for
`m.room.member` events and generally make the logic easier to follow.
This means the config option `search_all_users` ends up controlling the
search query only, and not the data we store. The cost of doing so is an
extra row in the `user_directory` and `user_directory_search` tables for
each local user which
- belongs to no public rooms
- belongs to no private rooms of size ≥ 2
I think the cost of this will be marginal (since they'll already have entries
in `users` and `profiles` anyway).
As a small upside, a homeserver whose directory was built with this
change can toggle `search_all_users` without having to rebuild their
directory.

- Removed page summaries from CONTRIBUTING and installation pages as
this information was already in the table of contents on the right hand side
- Fixed some broken links in CONTRIBUTING
- Added margin-right tag for when table of contents is being shown
(otherwise the text in the page sometimes overlaps with it)
When a user deletes an email from their account it will
now also remove all pushers for that email and that user
(even if these pushers were created by a different client)
* Fix the titles in the OIDC documentation
Having them as links broke the table-of-contents rendering in mdbook.
Plus there's no reason for only some of the provider titles to be links.
* Changelog
* Add link to google idp docs
Several configuration sections are using separate settings for custom template directories, which can be confusing. This PR adds a new top-level configuration for a custom template directory which is then used for every module. The only exception is the consent templates, since the consent template directory require a specific hierarchy, so it's probably better that it stays separate from everything else.
Per issue #9812 using `url_preview_ip_range_blacklist` with a proxy via `HTTPS_PROXY` or `HTTP_PROXY` environment variables has some inconsistent bahavior than mentioned. This PR changes the following:
- Changes the Sample Config file to include a note mentioning that `url_preview_ip_range_blacklist` and `ip_range_blacklist` is ignored when using a proxy
- Changes some logic in synapse/config/repository.py to send a warning when both `*ip_range_blacklist` configs and a proxy environment variable are set and but no longer throws an error.

This adds an API for third-party plugin modules to implement account validity, so they can provide this feature instead of Synapse. The module implementing the current behaviour for this feature can be found at https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-email-account-validity.
To allow for a smooth transition between the current feature and the new module, hooks have been added to the existing account validity endpoints to allow their behaviours to be overridden by a module.
Our documentation has a history of using a document's name as a way to link to it, such as "See [workers.md]() for details". This makes sense when you're traversing a directory of files, but less sense when the files are abstracted away - as they are on the documentation website.
This PR changes the links to various documentation pages to something that fits better into the surrounding sentence, as you would when making any hyperlink on the web.

This PR adds a common configuration section for all modules (see docs). These modules are then loaded at startup by the homeserver. Modules register their hooks and web resources using the new `register_[...]_callbacks` and `register_web_resource` methods of the module API.
Dangerous actions means deactivating an account, modifying an account
password, or adding a 3PID.
Other actions (deleting devices, uploading keys) can re-use the same UI
auth session if ui_auth.session_timeout is configured.

With the prior format, 1.33.0 / 1.33.1 / 1.33.2 got separate branches:

Under the new model, all three would share a common branch:
release-v1.33
As before, RCs and actual releases exist as tags on these branches.

Synapse can be quite memory intensive, and unless care is taken to tune
the GC thresholds it can end up thrashing, causing noticable performance
problems for large servers. We fix this by limiting how often we GC a
given generation, regardless of current counts/thresholds.
This does not help with the reverse problem where the thresholds are set
too high, but that should only happen in situations where they've been
manually configured.
Adds a `gc_min_seconds_between` config option to override the defaults.

This attempts to be a direct port of https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-dinsic/pull/74 to mainline. There was some fiddling required to deal with the changes that have been made to mainline since (mainly dealing with the split of `RegistrationWorkerStore` from `RegistrationStore`, and the changes made to `self.make_request` in test code).
At the moment, if you'd like to share presence between local or remote users, those users must be sharing a room together. This isn't always the most convenient or useful situation though.
This PR adds a module to Synapse that will allow deployments to set up extra logic on where presence updates should be routed. The module must implement two methods, `get_users_for_states` and `get_interested_users`. These methods are given presence updates or user IDs and must return information that Synapse will use to grant passing presence updates around.
A method is additionally added to `ModuleApi` which allows triggering a set of users to receive the current, online presence information for all users they are considered interested in. This is the equivalent of that user receiving presence information during an initial sync.
The goal of this module is to be fairly generic and useful for a variety of applications, with hard requirements being:
* Sending state for a specific set or all known users to a defined set of local and remote users.
* The ability to trigger an initial sync for specific users, so they receive all current state.
The regex should be terminated so that subdomain matches of another
domain are not accepted. Just ensuring that someone doesn't shoot
themselves in the foot by copying our example.

`room_invite_state_types` was inconvenient as a configuration setting, because
anyone that ever set it would not receive any new types that were added to the
defaults. Here, we deprecate the old setting, and replace it with a couple of
new settings under `room_prejoin_state`.
I've reiterated the advice about using `oidc` to migrate, since I've seen a few
people caught by this.
I've also removed a couple of the examples as they are duplicating the OIDC
documentation, and I think they might be leading people astray.
Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9572
When a SSO user logs in for the first time, we create a local Matrix user for them. This goes through the register_user flow, which ends up triggering the spam checker. Spam checker modules don't currently have any way to differentiate between a user trying to sign up initially, versus an SSO user (whom has presumably already been approved elsewhere) trying to log in for the first time.
This PR passes `auth_provider_id` as an argument to the `check_registration_for_spam` function. This argument will contain an ID of an SSO provider (`"saml"`, `"cas"`, etc.) if one was used, else `None`.
Earlier [I was convinced](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9565) that we didn't have an Admin API for listing media uploaded by a user. Foolishly I was looking under the Media Admin API documentation, instead of the User Admin API documentation.
I thought it'd be helpful to link to the latter so others don't hit the same dead end :)
This PR adds a homeserver config option, `user_directory.prefer_local_users`, that when enabled will show local users higher in user directory search results than remote users. This option is off by default.
Note that turning this on doesn't necessarily mean that remote users will always be put below local users, but they should be assuming all other ranking factors (search query match, profile information present etc) are identical.
This is useful for, say, University networks that are openly federating, but want to prioritise local students and staff in the user directory over other random users.

- disable profile lookup via federation

This could arguably replace the existing admin API for `/members`, however that is out of scope of this change.
This sort of endpoint is ideal for moderation use cases as well as other applications, such as needing to retrieve various bits of information about a room to perform a task (like syncing power levels between two places). This endpoint exposes nothing more than an admin would be able to access with a `select *` query on their database.
There's some prelimiary work here to pull out the construction of a jinja environment to a separate function.
I wanted to load the template at display time rather than load time, so that it's easy to update on the fly. Honestly, I think we should do this with all our templates: the risk of ending up with malformed templates is far outweighed by the improved turnaround time for an admin trying to update them.
Fixes#8966.

We've decided to add a 'brand' field to help clients decide how to style the
buttons.
Also, fix up the allowed characters for idp_id, while I'm in the area.
This expands the current shadow-banning feature to be usable via
the admin API and adds documentation for it.
A shadow-banned users receives successful responses to their
client-server API requests, but the events are not propagated into rooms.
Shadow-banning a user should be used as a tool of last resort and may lead
to confusing or broken behaviour for the client.
This is the final step for supporting multiple OIDC providers concurrently.
First of all, we reorganise the config so that you can specify a list of OIDC providers, instead of a single one. Before:
oidc_config:
enabled: true
issuer: "https://oidc_provider"
# etc
After:
oidc_providers:
- idp_id: prov1
issuer: "https://oidc_provider"
- idp_id: prov2
issuer: "https://another_oidc_provider"
The old format is still grandfathered in.
With that done, it's then simply a matter of having OidcHandler instantiate a new OidcProvider for each configured provider.
Protecting media stops it from being quarantined when
e.g. all media in a room is quarantined. This is useful
for sticker packs and other media that is uploaded by
server administrators, but used by many people.
If a user tries to do UI Auth via SSO, but uses the wrong account on the SSO
IdP, try to give them a better error.
Previously, the UIA would claim to be successful, but then the operation in
question would simply fail with "auth fail". Instead, serve up an error page
which explains the failure.
This adds an admin API that allows a server admin to get power in a room if a local user has power in a room. Will also invite the user if they're not in the room and its a private room. Can specify another user (rather than the admin user) to be granted power.

The final part (for now) of my work to implement a username picker in synapse itself. The idea is that we allow
`UsernameMappingProvider`s to return `localpart=None`, in which case, rather than redirecting the browser
back to the client, we redirect to a username-picker resource, which allows the user to enter a username.
We *then* complete the SSO flow (including doing the client permission checks).
The static resources for the username picker itself (in
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/rav/username_picker/synapse/res/username_picker)
are essentially lifted wholesale from
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-synapse-saml-mozilla/tree/master/matrix_synapse_saml_mozilla/res.
As the comment says, we might want to think about making them customisable, but that can be a follow-up.

Synapse 1.24.0rc2 (2020-12-04)
==============================
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix a regression in v1.24.0rc1 which failed to allow SAML mapping providers which were unable to redirect users to an additional page. ([\#8878](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8878))

Replaces the `federation_ip_range_blacklist` configuration setting with an
`ip_range_blacklist` setting with wider scope. It now applies to:
* Federation
* Identity servers
* Push notifications
* Checking key validitity for third-party invite events
The old `federation_ip_range_blacklist` setting is still honored if present, but
with reduced scope (it only applies to federation and identity servers).
This PR adds a new config option to the `push` section of the homeserver config, `group_unread_count_by_room`. By default Synapse will group push notifications by room (so if you have 1000 unread messages, if they lie in 55 rooms, you'll see an unread count on your phone of 55).
However, it is also useful to be able to send out the true count of unread messages if desired. If `group_unread_count_by_room` is set to `false`, then with the above example, one would see an unread count of 1000 (email anyone?).
Checks that the localpart returned by mapping providers for SAML and
OIDC are valid before registering new users.
Extends the OIDC tests for existing users and invalid data.
If SSO login is used (e.g. SAML) in a multi worker setup, it should be mentioned that currently all SAML logins must run on the same worker, see https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7530
Also, if you are using different ports (for example 443 and 8448) in a reverse proxy for client and federation, the path `/_matrix/media` on the client and federation port must point to the listener of the `media_repository` worker, otherwise you'll get a 404 on the federation port for the path `/_matrix/media`, if a remote server is trying to get the media object on federation port, see https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8695
This modifies the configuration of structured logging to be usable from
the standard Python logging configuration.
This also separates the formatting of logs from the transport allowing
JSON logs to files or standard logs to sockets.
Split admin API for reported events in detail und list view.
API was introduced with #8217 in synapse v.1.21.0.
It makes the list (`GET /_synapse/admin/v1/event_reports`) less complex and provides a better overview.
The details can be queried with: `GET /_synapse/admin/v1/event_reports/<report_id>`.
It is similar to room and users API.
It is a kind of regression in `GET /_synapse/admin/v1/event_reports`. `event_json` was removed. But the api was introduced one version before and it is an admin API (not under spec).

Currently background proccesses stream the events stream use the "minimum persisted position" (i.e. `get_current_token()`) rather than the vector clock style tokens. This is broadly fine as it doesn't matter if the background processes lag a small amount. However, in extreme cases (i.e. SyTests) where we only write to one event persister the background processes will never make progress.
This PR changes it so that the `MultiWriterIDGenerator` keeps the current position of a given instance as up to date as possible (i.e using the latest token it sees if its not in the process of persisting anything), and then periodically announces that over replication. This then allows the "minimum persisted position" to advance, albeit with a small lag.
Lots of different module apis is not easy to maintain.
Rather than adding yet another ModuleApi(hs, hs.get_auth_handler()) incantation, first add an hs.get_module_api() method and use it where possible.
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docs/sphinx doesn't seem to really be utilised or changed recently since the initial commit. I like the idea of exportable documentation of the codebase, but at the moment after running through the build instructions the generated website wasn't very useful...

This adds configuration flags that will match a user to pre-existing users
when logging in via OpenID Connect. This is useful when switching to
an existing SSO system.
This change adds a note and a few lines of configuration settings for Apache users to disable ModSecurity for Synapse's virtual hosts. With ModSecurity enabled and running with its default settings, Matrix clients are unable to send chat messages through the Synapse installation. With this change, ModSecurity can be disabled only for the Synapse virtual hosts.

This PR adds a information about forwarding `/_synapse/client` endpoints through your reverse proxy. The first of these endpoints are introduced in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8004.
This PR adds a confirmation step to resetting your user password between clicking the link in your email and your password actually being reset.
This is to better align our password reset flow with the industry standard of requiring a confirmation from the user after email validation.
