Backfill events have a negative stream ordering, and so its not useful
to use to compare with other (positive) stream orderings.
Plus, the Rust SDK currently assumes `bump_stamp` is positive.
Introduced in: #17215
This caused us a minor bit of grief as the volume of logs produced was
much higher than normal

This is to address an issue in which `m.presence` results on initial
sync are not returning entries of users who are currently offline.
The original behaviour was from
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/1535
This change is useful for applications that use the
presence system for tracking user profile information/updates (e.g.
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/16992 or for profile status
messages).
This is gated behind a new configuration option to avoid performance
impact for applications that don't need this, as a pragmatic solution
for now.
As it gets used in sliding sync.
We basically invalidate it in all the same places as
`get_rooms_for_user`. Most of the changes are due to needing the
arguments you pass in to be hashable (which lists aren't)
Prior to this PR, remote downloads which did not provide a
`content-length` were decremented from the remote download ratelimiter
at the max allowable size, leading to excessive ratelimiting - see
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17394.
This PR adds a linearizer to limit concurrent remote downloads to 6 per
IP address, and decrements remote downloads without a `content-length`
from the ratelimiter *after* the download is complete and the response
length is known.
Also adds logic to ensure that responses with a known length respect the
`max_download_size`.
This removes the `enable_media_repo` attribute on the server config in
favour of always using the `can_load_media_repo` in the media config.
This should avoid issues like in #17420 in the future
Add room subscriptions to Sliding Sync `/sync`
Based on
[MSC3575](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3575):
Sliding Sync
Currently, you can only subscribe to rooms you have had *any* membership
in before.
In the future, we will allow `world_readable` rooms to be subscribed to
without joining.
We can only fetch room types for rooms the server is in, so we need to
only filter rooms that we're joined to.
Also includes a perf fix to bulk fetch room types.
This looks like a copy/paste error: the function doesn't reject
anything, but instead allows the action count to go through regardless.
The remainder of the function's documentation appears correct.
Added RHEL/Rocky install instructions (PyPI). Instructions cover
versions 8 and 9 which are the only supported ones - except for RHEL7
which is now on extended life cycle support phase.
Large part of the guide is for installing Python 3.11 or 3.12. RHEL8
ships with Python 3.6 and RHEL9 ships with 3.9. Newer Python versions
can be installed easily as they don't interfere with OS software that
still relies on the default Python version.
I was first planning to add prerequisites part to the prerequisites
section and then install instructions on the top of the page but that
section is for pre-built packages so it just didn't sound right. So I
just dumped everything to the PyPI section of the page. But suggestions
to change are welcome.
I also didn't combine these with Fedora section. I haven't tested those
packages on RHEL and Fedora ships with Python 3.12 out-of-box.
We don't necessarily have `instance_name` for old events (before we
support multiple event persisters). We treat those as if the
`instance_name` was "master".

`bump_stamp` corresponds to the `stream_ordering` of the latest `DEFAULT_BUMP_EVENT_TYPES` in the room. This helps clients sort more readily without them needing to pull in a bunch of the timeline to determine the last activity. `bump_event_types` is a thing because for example, we don't want display name changes to mark the room as unread and bump it to the top. For encrypted rooms, we just have to consider any activity as a bump because we can't see the content and the client has to figure it out for themselves.
Outside of Synapse, `bump_stamp` is just a free-form counter so other implementations could use `received_ts`or `origin_server_ts` (see the [*Security considerations* section in MSC3575 about the potential pitfalls of using `origin_server_ts`](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/kegan/sync-v3/proposals/3575-sync.md#security-considerations)). It doesn't have any guarantee about always going up. In the Synapse case, it could go down if an event was redacted/removed (or purged in cases of retention policies).
In the future, we could add `bump_event_types` as [MSC3575](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3575) mentions if people need to customize the event types.

In the Sliding Sync proxy, a similar [`timestamp` field was added](https://github.com/matrix-org/sliding-sync/pull/247) for the same purpose but the name is not obvious what it pertains to or what it's for.
The `timestamp` field was also added to Ruma in https://github.com/ruma/ruma/pull/1622
Follows on from @H-Shay's great work at
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/15344 and MSC4026.
Also enables its use for MSC3881, mainly as an easy but concrete example
of how to use it.
This can help ensure that the rooms are eventually purged if the other
local users also forget them. Synapse already clears some of the room
information as part of the `_background_remove_left_rooms` background
task, but this doesn't catch `events`, `event_json`, etc.
Fixes https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17274, hopefully.
Basically, old versions of Synapse could advance streams without
persisting anything in the DB (fixed in #17229). On restart those
updates would get lost, and so the position of the stream would revert
to an older position. If this happened across an upgrade to a later
Synapse version which included #17215, then sync could get blocked
indefinitely (until the stream advanced to the position in the token).
We fix this by bounding the stream positions we'll wait for to the
maximum position of the underlying stream ID generator.

If we leave the `.so` in place it causes the tests to fail, as it gets
picked up (instead of the newly built .so) and so fails with mismatched
GLIBC errors.
Sid now defaults to python3.12, and our pinned version of cffi (1.5.1)
does not have wheels for 3.12. This installing cffi to fail as we did
not have the correct libs installed to build from source.
Fix bug where we don't get new to-device from remote if they resent a
message we've already persisted and have recorded in the DB twice.
`device_federation_inbox` table doesn't have a unique index, and so we
can race and store an entry in there twice. If we do so then
`simple_select_one_txn` will throw an error due to the query returning
more than one row. We should add an unique index, but it doesn't really
matter so lets just handle the case of multiple rows correctly for now.
Fixes up #17333, where we failed to actually send less data (the
`DISTINCT` didn't work due to `stream_id` being different).
We fix this by making it so that every device list outbound poke for a
given user ID has the same stream ID. We can't change the query to only
return e.g. max stream ID as the receivers look up the destinations to
send to by doing `SELECT WHERE stream_id = ?`
A simple change to update the docs where default values were missing.

This is #17291 (which got reverted), with some added fixups, and change
so that tests actually pick up the error.
The problem was that we were not calculating any new chain IDs due to a
missing `not` in a condition.
Reduce the replication traffic of device lists, by not sending every
destination that needs to be sent the device list update over
replication. Instead a "hosts to send to have been calculated"
notification over replication, and then federation senders read the
destinations from the DB.
For non federation senders this should heavily reduce the impact of a
user in many large rooms changing a device.
The parse_integer function was previously made to reject negative values by
default in https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/16920, but the
documentation stated otherwise. This fixes the documentation and also:
- Removes explicit negative=False parameters from call sites.
- Brings the negative default of parse_integer_from_args in alignment with
parse_integer.
This reverts commit bdf82efea5 (#17291)
This seems to have stopped persisting auth chains for new events, and so
is causing state res to fall back to the slow methods
We calculate the auth chain links outside of the main persist event
transaction to ensure that we do not block other event sending during
the calculation.
Sort is no longer configurable and we always sort rooms by the `stream_ordering` of the last event in the room or the point where the user can see up to in cases of leave/ban/invite/knock.
