Synapse 1.56.0 (2022-04-05)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
Synapse will now refuse to start up if open registration is enabled, in order to help mitigate
|
||
abuse across the federation. If you would like
|
||
to provide registration to anyone, consider adding [email](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/8a519f8abc6de772167c2cca101d22ee2052fafc/docs/sample_config.yaml#L1285),
|
||
[recaptcha](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/CAPTCHA_SETUP.html)
|
||
or [token-based](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/usage/administration/admin_api/registration_tokens.html) verification
|
||
in order to prevent automated registration from bad actors.
|
||
This check can be disabled by setting the `enable_registration_without_verification` option in your
|
||
homeserver configuration file to `true`. More details are available in the
|
||
[upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/upgrade.html#open-registration-without-verification-is-now-disabled-by-default).
|
||
|
||
Synapse will additionally now refuse to start when using PostgreSQL with a non-`C` values for `COLLATE` and `CTYPE`, unless
|
||
the config flag `allow_unsafe_locale`, found in the database section of the configuration file, is set to `true`. See the
|
||
[upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/upgrade#change-in-behaviour-for-postgresql-databases-with-unsafe-locale)
|
||
for details.

Synapse 1.55.2 (2022-03-24)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
This patch version reverts the earlier fixes from Synapse 1.55.1, which could cause problems in certain deployments, and instead adds a cap to the version of Jinja to be installed. Again, this is to fix an incompatibility with version 3.1.0 of the [Jinja](https://pypi.org/project/Jinja2/) library, and again, deployments of Synapse using the `matrixdotorg/synapse` Docker image or Debian packages from packages.matrix.org are not affected.
|
||
|
||
Internal Changes
|
||
----------------
|
||
|
||
- Pin Jinja to <3.1.0, as Synapse fails to start with Jinja 3.1.0. ([\#12297](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12297))
|
||
- Revert changes from 1.55.1 as they caused problems with older versions of Jinja ([\#12296](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12296))
|
||
|
||
|
||
Synapse 1.55.1 (2022-03-24)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
This is a patch release that fixes an incompatibility with version 3.1.0 of the [Jinja](https://pypi.org/project/Jinja2/) library, released on March 24th, 2022. Deployments of Synapse using the `matrixdotorg/synapse` Docker image or Debian packages from packages.matrix.org are not affected.
|
||
|
||
Internal Changes
|
||
----------------
|
||
|
||
- Remove uses of the long-deprecated `jinja2.Markup` which would prevent Synapse from starting with Jinja 3.1.0 or above installed. ([\#12289](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12289))
|
||
|
||
|
||
Synapse 1.55.0 (2022-03-22)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
This release also moves the location of the `synctl` script; see the [upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#synctl-script-has-been-moved) for more details.

||
|
||
Features
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
- Add support for [MSC3202](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3202): sending one-time key counts and fallback key usage states to Application Services. ([\#11617](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11617))
|
||
- Improve the generated URL previews for some web pages. Contributed by @AndrewRyanChama. ([\#11985](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11985))
|
||
- Track cache invalidations in Prometheus metrics, as already happens for cache eviction based on size or time. ([\#12000](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12000))
|
||
- Implement experimental support for [MSC3720](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3720) (account status endpoints). ([\#12001](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12001), [\#12067](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12067))
|
||
- Enable modules to set a custom display name when registering a user. ([\#12009](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12009))
|
||
- Advertise Matrix 1.1 and 1.2 support on `/_matrix/client/versions`. ([\#12020](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12020), ([\#12022](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12022))
|
||
- Support only the stable identifier for [MSC3069](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3069)'s `is_guest` on `/_matrix/client/v3/account/whoami`. ([\#12021](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12021))
|
||
- Use room version 9 as the default room version (per [MSC3589](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3589)). ([\#12058](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12058))
|
||
- Add module callbacks to react to user deactivation status changes (i.e. deactivations and reactivations) and profile updates. ([\#12062](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12062))
|
||
|
||
|
||
Bugfixes
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.48.0 where an edit of the latest event in a thread would not be properly applied to the thread summary. ([\#11992](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11992))
|
||
- Fix long-standing bug where the `get_rooms_for_user` cache was not correctly invalidated for remote users when the server left a room. ([\#11999](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11999))
|
||
- Fix a 500 error with Postgres when looking backwards with the [MSC3030](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3030) `/timestamp_to_event?dir=b` endpoint. ([\#12024](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12024))
|
||
- Properly fix a long-standing bug where wrong data could be inserted into the `event_search` table when using SQLite. This could block running `synapse_port_db` with an `argument of type 'int' is not iterable` error. This bug was partially fixed by a change in Synapse 1.44.0. ([\#12037](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12037))
|
||
- Fix slow performance of `/logout` in some cases where refresh tokens are in use. The slowness existed since the initial implementation of refresh tokens in version 1.38.0. ([\#12056](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12056))
|
||
- Fix a long-standing bug where Synapse would make additional failing requests over federation for missing data. ([\#12077](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12077))
|
||
- Fix occasional `Unhandled error in Deferred` error message. ([\#12089](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12089))
|
||
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.51.0 where incoming federation transactions containing at least one EDU would be dropped if debug logging was enabled for `synapse.8631_debug`. ([\#12098](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12098))
|
||
- Fix a long-standing bug which could cause push notifications to malfunction if `use_frozen_dicts` was set in the configuration. ([\#12100](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12100))
|
||
- Fix an extremely rare, long-standing bug in `ReadWriteLock` that would cause an error when a newly unblocked writer completes instantly. ([\#12105](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12105))
|
||
- Make a `POST` to `/rooms/<room_id>/receipt/m.read/<event_id>` only trigger a push notification if the count of unread messages is different to the one in the last successfully sent push. This reduces server load and load on the receiving device. ([\#11835](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11835))
|
||
|
||
|
||
Updates to the Docker image
|
||
---------------------------
|
||
|
||
- The Docker image no longer automatically creates a temporary volume at `/data`. This is not expected to affect normal usage. ([\#11997](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11997))
|
||
- Use Python 3.9 in Docker images by default. ([\#12112](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12112))
|
||
|
||
|
||
Improved Documentation
|
||
----------------------
|
||
|
||
- Document support for the `to_device`, `account_data`, `receipts`, and `presence` stream writers for workers. ([\#11599](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11599))
|
||
- Explain the meaning of spam checker callbacks' return values. ([\#12003](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12003))
|
||
- Clarify information about external Identity Provider IDs. ([\#12004](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12004))
|
||
|
||
|
||
Deprecations and Removals
|
||
-------------------------
|
||
|
||
- Deprecate using `synctl` with the config option `synctl_cache_factor` and print a warning if a user still uses this option. ([\#11865](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11865))
|
||
- Remove support for the legacy structured logging configuration (please see the the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/upgrade#legacy-structured-logging-configuration-removal) if you are using `structured: true` in the Synapse configuration). ([\#12008](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12008))
|
||
- Drop support for [MSC3283](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3283) unstable flags now that the stable flags are supported. ([\#12018](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12018))

Synapse 1.52.0 (2022-02-08)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
No significant changes since 1.52.0rc1.
|
||
|
||
Note that [Twisted 22.1.0](https://github.com/twisted/twisted/releases/tag/twisted-22.1.0)
|
||
has recently been released, which fixes a [security issue](https://github.com/twisted/twisted/security/advisories/GHSA-92x2-jw7w-xvvx)
|
||
within the Twisted library. We do not believe Synapse is affected by this vulnerability,
|
||
though we advise server administrators who installed Synapse via pip to upgrade Twisted
|
||
with `pip install --upgrade Twisted treq` as a matter of good practice. The Docker image
|
||
`matrixdotorg/synapse` and the Debian packages from `packages.matrix.org` are using the
|
||
updated library.

Synapse 1.49.2 (2021-12-21)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
This release fixes a regression introduced in Synapse 1.49.0 which could cause `/sync` requests to take significantly longer. This would particularly affect "initial" syncs for users participating in a large number of rooms, and in extreme cases, could make it impossible for such users to log in on a new client.
|
||
|
||
**Note:** in line with our [deprecation policy](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/deprecation_policy.html) for platform dependencies, this will be the last release to support Python 3.6 and PostgreSQL 9.6, both of which have now reached upstream end-of-life. Synapse will require Python 3.7+ and PostgreSQL 10+.
|
||
|
||
**Note:** We will also stop producing packages for Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) after this release, as it uses Python 3.6.
|
||
|
||
Bugfixes
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
- Fix a performance regression in `/sync` handling, introduced in 1.49.0. ([\#11583](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11583))
|
||
|
||
Internal Changes
|
||
----------------
|
||
|
||
- Work around a build problem on Debian Buster. ([\#11625](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11625))
|
||
|
||
|
||
Synapse 1.49.1 (2021-12-21)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
Not released due to problems building the debian packages.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Synapse 1.49.0 (2021-12-14)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
No significant changes since version 1.49.0rc1.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Support for Ubuntu 21.04 ends next month on the 20th of January
|
||
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
For users of Ubuntu 21.04 (Hirsute Hippo), please be aware that [upstream support for this version of Ubuntu will end next month][Ubuntu2104EOL].
|
||
We will stop producing packages for Ubuntu 21.04 after upstream support ends.
|
||
|
||
[Ubuntu2104EOL]: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2021-December/000275.html
|
||
|
||
|
||
The wiki has been migrated to the documentation website
|
||
-------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
We've decided to move the existing, somewhat stagnant pages from the GitHub wiki
|
||
to the [documentation website](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/).
|
||
|
||
This was done for two reasons. The first was to ensure that changes are checked by
|
||
multiple authors before being committed (everyone makes mistakes!) and the second
|
||
was visibility of the documentation. Not everyone knows that Synapse has some very
|
||
useful information hidden away in its GitHub wiki pages. Bringing them to the
|
||
documentation website should help with visibility, as well as keep all Synapse documentation
|
||
in one, easily-searchable location.
|
||
|
||
Note that contributions to the documentation website happen through [GitHub pull
|
||
requests](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pulls). Please visit [#synapse-dev:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#synapse-dev:matrix.org)
|
||
if you need help with the process!

Synapse 1.47.1 (2021-11-23)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
This release fixes a security issue in the media store, affecting all prior releases of Synapse. Server administrators are encouraged to update Synapse as soon as possible. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild.
|
||
|
||
Server administrators who are unable to update Synapse may use the workarounds described in the linked GitHub Security Advisory below.
|
||
|
||
Security advisory
|
||
-----------------
|
||
|
||
The following issue is fixed in 1.47.1.
|
||
|
||
- **[GHSA-3hfw-x7gx-437c](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-3hfw-x7gx-437c) / [CVE-2021-41281](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-41281): Path traversal when downloading remote media.**
|
||
|
||
Synapse instances with the media repository enabled can be tricked into downloading a file from a remote server into an arbitrary directory, potentially outside the media store directory.
|
||
|
||
The last two directories and file name of the path are chosen randomly by Synapse and cannot be controlled by an attacker, which limits the impact.
|
||
|
||
Homeservers with the media repository disabled are unaffected. Homeservers configured with a federation whitelist are also unaffected.
|
||
|
||
Fixed by [91f2bd090](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/91f2bd090).

Synapse 1.41.1 (2021-08-31)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
Due to the two security issues highlighted below, server administrators are encouraged to update Synapse. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild.
|
||
|
||
Security advisory
|
||
-----------------
|
||
|
||
The following issues are fixed in v1.41.1.
|
||
|
||
- **[GHSA-3x4c-pq33-4w3q](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-3x4c-pq33-4w3q) / [CVE-2021-39164](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-39164): Enumerating a private room's list of members and their display names.**
|
||
|
||
If an unauthorized user both knows the Room ID of a private room *and* that room's history visibility is set to `shared`, then they may be able to enumerate the room's members, including their display names.
|
||
|
||
The unauthorized user must be on the same homeserver as a user who is a member of the target room.
|
||
|
||
Fixed by [52c7a51cf](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/52c7a51cf).
|
||
|
||
- **[GHSA-jj53-8fmw-f2w2](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-jj53-8fmw-f2w2) / [CVE-2021-39163](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-39163): Disclosing a private room's name, avatar, topic, and number of members.**
|
||
|
||
If an unauthorized user knows the Room ID of a private room, then its name, avatar, topic, and number of members may be disclosed through Group / Community features.
|
||
|
||
The unauthorized user must be on the same homeserver as a user who is a member of the target room, and their homeserver must allow non-administrators to create groups (`enable_group_creation` in the Synapse configuration; off by default).
|
||
|
||
Fixed by [cb35df940a](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/cb35df940a), [\#10723](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10723).
|
||
|
||
Bugfixes
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
- Fix a regression introduced in Synapse 1.41 which broke email transmission on systems using older versions of the Twisted library. ([\#10713](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10713))

Synapse 1.37.1 (2021-06-30)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
This release resolves issues (such as [#9490](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9490)) where one busy room could cause head-of-line blocking, starving Synapse from processing events in other rooms, and causing all federated traffic to fall behind. Synapse 1.37.1 processes inbound federation traffic asynchronously, ensuring that one busy room won't impact others. Please upgrade to Synapse 1.37.1 as soon as possible, in order to increase resilience to other traffic spikes.
|
||
|
||
No significant changes since v1.37.1rc1.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Synapse 1.37.1rc1 (2021-06-29)
|
||
==============================
|
||
|
||
Features
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
- Handle inbound events from federation asynchronously. ([\#10269](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10269), [\#10272](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10272))
|
||
|
||
|
||
Synapse 1.37.0 (2021-06-29)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
This release deprecates the current spam checker interface. See the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/upgrade#deprecation-of-the-current-spam-checker-interface) for more information on how to update to the new generic module interface.
|
||
|
||
This release also removes support for fetching and renewing TLS certificates using the ACME v1 protocol, which has been fully decommissioned by Let's Encrypt on June 1st 2021. Admins previously using this feature should use a [reverse proxy](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/reverse_proxy.html) to handle TLS termination, or use an external ACME client (such as [certbot](https://certbot.eff.org/)) to retrieve a certificate and key and provide them to Synapse using the `tls_certificate_path` and `tls_private_key_path` configuration settings.

Synapse 1.35.0 (2021-06-01)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
Note that [the tag](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/releases/tag/v1.35.0rc3) and [docker images](https://hub.docker.com/layers/matrixdotorg/synapse/v1.35.0rc3/images/sha256-34ccc87bd99a17e2cbc0902e678b5937d16bdc1991ead097eee6096481ecf2c4?context=explore) for `v1.35.0rc3` were incorrectly built. If you are experiencing issues with either, it is recommended to upgrade to the equivalent tag or docker image for the `v1.35.0` release.

Synapse 1.32.2 (2021-04-22)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
This release includes a fix for a regression introduced in 1.32.0.
|
||
|
||
Bugfixes
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
- Fix a regression in Synapse 1.32.0 and 1.32.1 which caused `LoggingContext` errors in plugins. ([\#9857](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9857))
|
||
|
||
|
||
Synapse 1.32.1 (2021-04-21)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
This release fixes [a regression](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9853)
|
||
in Synapse 1.32.0 that caused connected Prometheus instances to become unstable.
|
||
|
||
However, as this release is still subject to the `LoggingContext` change in 1.32.0,
|
||
it is recommended to remain on or downgrade to 1.31.0.
|
||
|
||
Bugfixes
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
- Fix a regression in Synapse 1.32.0 which caused Synapse to report large numbers of Prometheus time series, potentially overwhelming Prometheus instances. ([\#9854](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9854))
|
||
|
||
|
||
Synapse 1.32.0 (2021-04-20)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
**Note:** This release introduces [a regression](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9853)
|
||
that can overwhelm connected Prometheus instances. This issue was not present in
|
||
1.32.0rc1. If affected, it is recommended to downgrade to 1.31.0 in the meantime, and
|
||
follow [these instructions](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/9854#issuecomment-823472183)
|
||
to clean up any excess writeahead logs.
|
||
|
||
**Note:** This release also mistakenly included a change that may affected Synapse
|
||
modules that import `synapse.logging.context.LoggingContext`, such as
|
||
[synapse-s3-storage-provider](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-s3-storage-provider).
|
||
This will be fixed in a later Synapse version.
|
||
|
||
**Note:** This release requires Python 3.6+ and Postgres 9.6+ or SQLite 3.22+.
|
||
|
||
This release removes the deprecated `GET /_synapse/admin/v1/users/<user_id>` admin API. Please use the [v2 API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/admin_api/user_admin_api.rst#query-user-account) instead, which has improved capabilities.
|
||
|
||
This release requires Application Services to use type `m.login.application_service` when registering users via the `/_matrix/client/r0/register` endpoint to comply with the spec. Please ensure your Application Services are up to date.
|
||
|
||
If you are using the `packages.matrix.org` Debian repository for Synapse packages,
|
||
note that we have recently updated the expiry date on the gpg signing key. If you see an
|
||
error similar to `The following signatures were invalid: EXPKEYSIG F473DD4473365DE1`, you
|
||
will need to get a fresh copy of the keys. You can do so with:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
sudo wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg https://packages.matrix.org/debian/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Bugfixes
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
- Fix the log lines of nested logging contexts. Broke in 1.32.0rc1. ([\#9829](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9829))
|
||
|
||

Synapse 1.30.1 (2021-03-26)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
This release is identical to Synapse 1.30.0, with the exception of explicitly
|
||
setting a minimum version of Python's Cryptography library to ensure that users
|
||
of Synapse are protected from the recent [OpenSSL security advisories](https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-announce/2021-March/000198.html),
|
||
especially CVE-2021-3449.
|
||
|
||
Note that Cryptography defaults to bundling its own statically linked copy of
|
||
OpenSSL, which means that you may not be protected by your operating system's
|
||
security updates.
|
||
|
||
It's also worth noting that Cryptography no longer supports Python 3.5, so
|
||
admins deploying to older environments may not be protected against this or
|
||
future vulnerabilities. Synapse will be dropping support for Python 3.5 at the
|
||
end of March.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Updates to the Docker image
|
||
---------------------------
|
||
|
||
- Ensure that the docker container has up to date versions of openssl. ([\#9697](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9697))
|
||
|
||
|
||
Internal Changes
|
||
----------------
|
||
|
||
- Enforce that `cryptography` dependency is up to date to ensure it has the most recent openssl patches. ([\#9697](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9697))
|
||
|
||
|
||
Synapse 1.30.0 (2021-03-22)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
Note that this release deprecates the ability for appservices to
|
||
call `POST /_matrix/client/r0/register` without the body parameter `type`. Appservice
|
||
developers should use a `type` value of `m.login.application_service` as
|
||
per [the spec](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/application_service/r0.1.2#server-admin-style-permissions).
|
||
In future releases, calling this endpoint with an access token - but without a `m.login.application_service`
|
||
type - will fail.
|
||
|
||
|
||
No significant changes.

Synapse 1.28.0 (2021-02-25)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
Note that this release drops support for ARMv7 in the official Docker images, due to repeated problems building for ARMv7 (and the associated maintenance burden this entails).
|
||
|
||
This release also fixes the documentation included in v1.27.0 around the callback URI for SAML2 identity providers. If your server is configured to use single sign-on via a SAML2 IdP, you may need to make configuration changes. Please review the [upgrade notes](docs/upgrade.md) for more details on these changes.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Internal Changes
|
||
----------------

|
||
==============================
|
||
|
||
Removal warning
|
||
---------------
|
||
|
||
The v1 list accounts API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
|
||
This API was undocumented and misleading. It can be replaced by the
|
||
[v2 list accounts API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.28.0/docs/admin_api/user_admin_api.rst#list-accounts),
|
||
which has been available since Synapse 1.7.0 (2019-12-13).
|
||
|
||
Please check if you're using any scripts which use the admin API and replace
|
||
`GET /_synapse/admin/v1/users/<user_id>` with `GET /_synapse/admin/v2/users`.
|
||

Synapse 1.27.0 (2021-02-16)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
Note that this release includes a change in Synapse to use Redis as a cache ─ as well as a pub/sub mechanism ─ if Redis support is enabled for workers. No action is needed by server administrators, and we do not expect resource usage of the Redis instance to change dramatically.
|
||
|
||
This release also changes the callback URI for OpenID Connect (OIDC) and SAML2 identity providers. If your server is configured to use single sign-on via an OIDC/OAuth2 or SAML2 IdP, you may need to make configuration changes. Please review the [upgrade notes](docs/upgrade.md) for more details on these changes.
|
||

Synapse 1.25.0 (2021-01-13)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
Ending Support for Python 3.5 and Postgres 9.5
|
||
----------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
With this release, the Synapse team is announcing a formal deprecation policy for our platform dependencies, like Python and PostgreSQL:
|
||
|
||
All future releases of Synapse will follow the upstream end-of-life schedules.
|
||
|
||
Which means:
|
||
|
||
* This is the last release which guarantees support for Python 3.5.
|
||
* We will end support for PostgreSQL 9.5 early next month.
|
||
* We will end support for Python 3.6 and PostgreSQL 9.6 near the end of the year.
|
||
|
||
Crucially, this means __we will not produce .deb packages for Debian 9 (Stretch) or Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial)__ beyond the transition period described below.
|
||
|
||
The website https://endoflife.date/ has convenient summaries of the support schedules for projects like [Python](https://endoflife.date/python) and [PostgreSQL](https://endoflife.date/postgresql).
|
||
|
||
If you are unable to upgrade your environment to a supported version of Python or
|
||
Postgres, we encourage you to consider using the
|
||
[Synapse Docker images](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/setup/installation.html#docker-images-and-ansible-playbooks)
|
||
instead.
|
||
|
||
### Transition Period
|
||

We will make a good faith attempt to avoid breaking compatibility in all releases through the end of March 2021. However, critical security vulnerabilities in dependencies or other unanticipated circumstances may arise which necessitate breaking compatibility earlier.
|
||
|
||
We intend to continue producing .deb packages for Debian 9 (Stretch) and Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) through the transition period.

---------------
|
||
|
||
The old [Purge Room API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/docs/admin_api/purge_room.md)
|
||
and [Shutdown Room API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/docs/admin_api/shutdown_room.md)
|
||
are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. They will be replaced by the

Synapse 1.24.0 (2020-12-09)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
Due to the two security issues highlighted below, server administrators are
|
||
encouraged to update Synapse. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being
|
||
exploited in the wild.
|
||
|
||
Security advisory
|
||
-----------------
|
||
|
||
The following issues are fixed in v1.23.1 and v1.24.0.
|
||
|
||
- There is a denial of service attack
|
||
([CVE-2020-26257](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-26257))
|
||
against the federation APIs in which future events will not be correctly sent
|
||
to other servers over federation. This affects all servers that participate in
|
||
open federation. (Fixed in [#8776](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8776)).
|
||
|
||
- Synapse may be affected by OpenSSL

||
[CVE-2020-1971](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-1971).
|
||
Synapse administrators should ensure that they have the latest versions of
|
||
the cryptography Python package installed.
|
||
|
||
To upgrade Synapse along with the cryptography package:
|
||
|
||
* Administrators using the [`matrix.org` Docker
|
||
image](https://hub.docker.com/r/matrixdotorg/synapse/) or the [Debian/Ubuntu
|
||
packages from
|
||
`matrix.org`](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/setup/installation.html#matrixorg-packages)
|
||
should ensure that they have version 1.24.0 or 1.23.1 installed: these images include
|
||
the updated packages.
|
||
* Administrators who have [installed Synapse from
|
||
source](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/setup/installation.html#installing-from-source)
|
||
should upgrade the cryptography package within their virtualenv by running:
|
||
```sh
|
||
<path_to_virtualenv>/bin/pip install 'cryptography>=3.3'
|
||
```
|
||
* Administrators who have installed Synapse from distribution packages should
|
||
consult the information from their distributions.

|
||
Debian packages and Docker images have been rebuilt using the latest versions of dependency libraries, including authlib 0.15.1. Please see bugfixes below.
|
||
|
||
Security advisory
|
||
-----------------
|
||
|
||
* HTML pages served via Synapse were vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS)
|
||
attacks. All server administrators are encouraged to upgrade.
|
||
([\#8444](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8444))
|
||
([CVE-2020-26891](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-26891))
|
||
|
||
This fix was originally included in v1.21.0 but was missing a security advisory.
|
||
|
||
This was reported by [Denis Kasak](https://github.com/dkasak).
|
||
|
||
Bugfixes
|
||
--------
|
||

v1.20.0](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.21.0/CHANGES.md#synapse-1200-2020-09-22),
|
||
a future release will drop support for accessing Synapse's
|
||
[Admin API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/docs/admin_api) under the
|
||
`/_matrix/client/*` endpoint prefixes. At that point, the Admin API will only
|
||
be accessible under `/_synapse/admin`.

Synapse 1.20.1 (2020-09-24)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
Bugfixes
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||

Synapse 1.20.0 (2020-09-22)

|
||
|
||
Historically, the [Synapse Admin
|
||
API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/docs) has been
|
||
accessible under the `/_matrix/client/api/v1/admin`,
|
||
`/_matrix/client/unstable/admin`, `/_matrix/client/r0/admin` and
|
||
`/_synapse/admin` prefixes. In a future release, we will be dropping support
|
||
for accessing Synapse's Admin API using the `/_matrix/client/*` prefixes.
|
||
|
||
From that point, the Admin API will only be accessible under `/_synapse/admin`.
|
||
This makes it easier for homeserver admins to lock down external access to the
|
||
Admin API endpoints.

Some older clients used a [disallowed character](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#post-matrix-client-r0-register-email-requesttoken) (`:`) in the `client_secret` parameter of various endpoints. The incorrect behaviour was allowed for backwards compatibility, but is now being removed from Synapse as most users have updated their client. Further context can be found at [\#6766](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6766).

Synapse 1.18.0 (2020-07-30)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
Deprecation Warnings
|
||
--------------------
|
||
|
||
### Docker Tags with `-py3` Suffix
|
||
|
||
From 10th August 2020, we will no longer publish Docker images with the `-py3` tag suffix. The images tagged with the `-py3` suffix have been identical to the non-suffixed tags since release 0.99.0, and the suffix is obsolete.
|
||
|
||
On 10th August, we will remove the `latest-py3` tag. Existing per-release tags (such as `v1.18.0-py3`) will not be removed, but no new `-py3` tags will be added.
|
||
|
||
Scripts relying on the `-py3` suffix will need to be updated.
|
||
|
||
|
||
### TCP-based Replication
|
||
|
||
When setting up worker processes, we now recommend the use of a Redis server for replication. The old direct TCP connection method is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. See [docs/workers.md](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.18.0/docs/workers.md) for more details.
|
||
|
||

Synapse 1.16.0 (2020-07-08)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
No significant changes since 1.16.0rc2.
|
||
|
||
Note that this release deprecates the `m.login.jwt` login method, renaming it
|
||
to `org.matrix.login.jwt`, as `m.login.jwt` is not part of the Matrix spec.
|
||
Otherwise the behaviour is identical. Synapse will accept both names for now,
|
||
but this may change in a future release.
|
||
|
||
Synapse 1.16.0rc2 (2020-07-02)
|
||
==============================
|
||
|
||
Synapse 1.16.0rc2 includes the security fixes released with Synapse 1.15.2.
|
||
Please see [below](#synapse-1152-2020-07-02) for more details.
|
||
|
||
Improved Documentation
|
||
----------------------
|
||
|
||
- Update postgres image in example `docker-compose.yaml` to tag `12-alpine`. ([\#7696](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7696))
|
||
|
||
|
||
Internal Changes
|
||
----------------
|
||
|
||
- Add some metrics for inbound and outbound federation latencies: `synapse_federation_server_pdu_process_time` and `synapse_event_processing_lag_by_event`. ([\#7771](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7771))
|
||
|
||
|
||
Synapse 1.15.2 (2020-07-02)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
Due to the two security issues highlighted below, server administrators are
|
||
encouraged to update Synapse. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being
|
||
exploited in the wild.
|
||
|
||
Security advisory
|
||
-----------------
|
||
|
||
* A malicious homeserver could force Synapse to reset the state in a room to a
|
||
small subset of the correct state. This affects all Synapse deployments which
|
||
federate with untrusted servers. ([96e9afe6](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/96e9afe62500310977dc3cbc99a8d16d3d2fa15c))
|
||
* HTML pages served via Synapse were vulnerable to clickjacking attacks. This
|
||
predominantly affects homeservers with single-sign-on enabled, but all server
|
||
administrators are encouraged to upgrade. ([ea26e9a9](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/ea26e9a98b0541fc886a1cb826a38352b7599dbe))
|
||
|
||
This was reported by [Quentin Gliech](https://sandhose.fr/).

Synapse 1.13.0 (2020-05-19)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
This release brings some potential changes necessary for certain
|
||
configurations of Synapse:
|
||
|
||
* If your Synapse is configured to use SSO and have a custom
|
||
`sso_redirect_confirm_template_dir` configuration option set, you will need
|
||
to duplicate the new `sso_auth_confirm.html`, `sso_auth_success.html` and
|
||
`sso_account_deactivated.html` templates into that directory.
|
||
* Synapse plugins using the `complete_sso_login` method of
|
||
`synapse.module_api.ModuleApi` should instead switch to the async/await
|
||
version, `complete_sso_login_async`, which includes additional checks. The
|
||
former version is now deprecated.
|
||
* A bug was introduced in Synapse 1.4.0 which could cause the room directory
|
||
to be incomplete or empty if Synapse was upgraded directly from v1.2.1 or
|
||
earlier, to versions between v1.4.0 and v1.12.x.
|
||
|
||
Please review the [upgrade notes](docs/upgrade.md) for more details on these changes
|
||
and for general upgrade guidance.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Notice of change to the default `git` branch for Synapse
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
With the release of Synapse 1.13.0, the default `git` branch for Synapse has
|
||
changed to `develop`, which is the development tip. This is more consistent with
|
||
common practice and modern `git` usage.
|
||
|
||
The `master` branch, which tracks the latest release, is still available. It is
|
||
recommended that developers and distributors who have scripts which run builds
|
||
using the default branch of Synapse should therefore consider pinning their
|
||
scripts to `master`.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Internal Changes
|
||
----------------
|
||
|
||
- Update the version of dh-virtualenv we use to build debs, and add focal to the list of target distributions. ([\#7526](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7526))

||
|
||
Synapse 1.12.0 (2020-03-23)
|
||
===========================
|
||
|
||
Debian packages and Docker images are rebuilt using the latest versions of
|
||
dependency libraries, including Twisted 20.3.0. **Please see security advisory
|
||
below**.
|
||
|
||
Potential slow database update during upgrade
|
||
---------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Synapse 1.12.0 includes a database update which is run as part of the upgrade,
|
||
and which may take some time (several hours in the case of a large
|
||
server). Synapse will not respond to HTTP requests while this update is taking
|
||
place. For imformation on seeing if you are affected, and workaround if you
|
||
are, see the [upgrade notes](docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1120).
|
||
|
||
Security advisory
|
||
-----------------
|
||
|
||
Synapse may be vulnerable to request-smuggling attacks when it is used with a
|
||
reverse-proxy. The vulnerabilties are fixed in Twisted 20.3.0, and are
|
||
described in
|
||
[CVE-2020-10108](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-10108)
|
||
and
|
||
[CVE-2020-10109](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-10109).
|
||
For a good introduction to this class of request-smuggling attacks, see
|
||
https://portswigger.net/research/http-desync-attacks-request-smuggling-reborn.
|
||
|
||
We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild, and
|
||
do not believe that they are exploitable with current versions of any reverse
|
||
proxies. Nevertheless, we recommend that all Synapse administrators ensure that
|
||
they have the latest versions of the Twisted library to ensure that their
|
||
installation remains secure.
|
||
|
||
* Administrators using the [`matrix.org` Docker
|
||
image](https://hub.docker.com/r/matrixdotorg/synapse/) or the [Debian/Ubuntu
|
||
packages from
|
||
`matrix.org`](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/setup/installation.html#matrixorg-packages)
|
||
should ensure that they have version 1.12.0 installed: these images include
|
||
Twisted 20.3.0.
|
||
* Administrators who have [installed Synapse from
|
||
source](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/setup/installation.html#installing-from-source)
|
||
should upgrade Twisted within their virtualenv by running:
|
||
```sh
|
||
<path_to_virtualenv>/bin/pip install 'Twisted>=20.3.0'
|
||
```
|
||
* Administrators who have installed Synapse from distribution packages should
|
||
consult the information from their distributions.
|
||
|
||
The `matrix.org` Synapse instance was not vulnerable to these vulnerabilities.
|
||
|
||
Advance notice of change to the default `git` branch for Synapse
|
||
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Currently, the default `git` branch for Synapse is `master`, which tracks the
|
||
latest release.
|
||
|
||
After the release of Synapse 1.13.0, we intend to change this default to
|
||
`develop`, which is the development tip. This is more consistent with common
|
||
practice and modern `git` usage.
|
||
|
||
Although we try to keep `develop` in a stable state, there may be occasions
|
||
where regressions creep in. Developers and distributors who have scripts which
|
||
run builds using the default branch of `Synapse` should therefore consider
|
||
pinning their scripts to `master`.
|
||
|
||

||
Synapse 1.7.0 (2019-12-13)
|
||
==========================
|
||
|
||
This release changes the default settings so that only local authenticated users can query the server's room directory. See the [upgrade notes](docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v170) for details.
|
||
|
||
Support for SQLite versions before 3.11 is now deprecated. A future release will refuse to start if used with an SQLite version before 3.11.

|
||
-------------------------
|
||
|
||
- Synapse now no longer accepts the `-v`/`--verbose`, `-f`/`--log-file`, or `--log-config` command line flags, and removes the deprecated `verbose` and `log_file` configuration file options. Users of these options should migrate their options into the dedicated log configuration.

Synapse 1.2.1 (2019-07-26)
|
||
==========================
|
||
|
||
Security update
|
||
---------------
|
||
|
||
This release includes *four* security fixes:
|
||
|
||
- Prevent an attack where a federated server could send redactions for arbitrary events in v1 and v2 rooms. ([\#5767](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5767))
|
||
- Prevent a denial-of-service attack where cycles of redaction events would make Synapse spin infinitely. Thanks to `@lrizika:matrix.org` for identifying and responsibly disclosing this issue. ([0f2ecb961](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/0f2ecb961))
|
||
- Prevent an attack where users could be joined or parted from public rooms without their consent. Thanks to @dylangerdaly for identifying and responsibly disclosing this issue. ([\#5744](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5744))
|
||
- Fix a vulnerability where a federated server could spoof read-receipts from
|
||
users on other servers. Thanks to @dylangerdaly for identifying this issue too. ([\#5743](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5743))
|
||
|
||
Additionally, the following fix was in Synapse **1.2.0**, but was not correctly
|
||
identified during the original release:
|
||
|
||
- It was possible for a room moderator to send a redaction for an `m.room.create` event, which would downgrade the room to version 1. Thanks to `/dev/ponies` for identifying and responsibly disclosing this issue! ([\#5701](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5701))
|
||
|
||

Synapse 1.1.0 (2019-07-04)
|
||
==========================
|
||
|
||
As of v1.1.0, Synapse no longer supports Python 2, nor Postgres version 9.4.
|
||
See the [upgrade notes](docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v110) for more details.
|
||
|
||
This release also deprecates the use of environment variables to configure the
|
||
docker image. See the [docker README](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.1.0/docker/README.md#legacy-dynamic-configuration-file-support)

=============================
|
||
|
||
Bugfixes
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||

Features
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
- Added possibilty to disable local password authentication. Contributed by Daniel Hoffend. ([\#5092](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5092))
|
||
- Add monthly active users to phonehome stats. ([\#5252](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5252))
|
||
- Allow expired user to trigger renewal email sending manually. ([\#5363](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5363))
|
||
- Statistics on forward extremities per room are now exposed via Prometheus. ([\#5384](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5384), [\#5458](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5458), [\#5461](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5461))
|
||
- Add --no-daemonize option to run synapse in the foreground, per issue #4130. Contributed by Soham Gumaste. ([\#5412](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5412), [\#5587](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5587))
|
||
- Fully support SAML2 authentication. Contributed by [Alexander Trost](https://github.com/galexrt) - thank you! ([\#5422](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5422))
|
||
- Allow server admins to define implementations of extra rules for allowing or denying incoming events. ([\#5440](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5440), [\#5474](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5474), [\#5477](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5477))
|
||
- Add support for handling pagination APIs on client reader worker. ([\#5505](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5505), [\#5513](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5513), [\#5531](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5531))
|
||
- Improve help and cmdline option names for --generate-config options. ([\#5512](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5512))
|
||
- Allow configuration of the path used for ACME account keys. ([\#5516](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5516), [\#5521](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5521), [\#5522](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5522))

|
||
- Split public rooms directory auth config in two settings, in order to manage client auth independently from the federation part of it. Obsoletes the "restrict_public_rooms_to_local_users" configuration setting. If "restrict_public_rooms_to_local_users" is set in the config, Synapse will act as if both new options are enabled, i.e. require authentication through the client API and deny federation requests. ([\#5534](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5534))
|
||
- The minimum TLS version used for outgoing federation requests can now be set with `federation_client_minimum_tls_version`. ([\#5550](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5550))

||
Synapse 1.0.0rc1 (2019-06-07)
|
||
=============================
|
||
|
||
Features
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
- Synapse now more efficiently collates room statistics. ([\#4338](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4338), [\#5260](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5260), [\#5324](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5324))
|
||
- Add experimental support for relations (aka reactions and edits). ([\#5220](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5220))
|
||
- Ability to configure default room version. ([\#5223](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5223), [\#5249](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5249))
|
||
- Allow configuring a range for the account validity startup job. ([\#5276](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5276))
|
||
- CAS login will now hit the r0 API, not the deprecated v1 one. ([\#5286](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5286))
|
||
- Validate federation server TLS certificates by default (implements [MSC1711](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/master/proposals/1711-x509-for-federation.md)). ([\#5359](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5359))
|
||
- Update /_matrix/client/versions to reference support for r0.5.0. ([\#5360](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5360))

||
- Add a script to generate new signing-key files. ([\#5361](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5361))
|
||
- Update upgrade and installation guides ahead of 1.0. ([\#5371](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5371))
|
||
- Replace the `perspectives` configuration section with `trusted_key_servers`, and make validating the signatures on responses optional (since TLS will do this job for us). ([\#5374](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5374))
|
||
- Add ability to perform password reset via email without trusting the identity server. **As a result of this PR, password resets will now be disabled on the default configuration.**
|
||
|
||
Password reset emails are now sent from the homeserver by default, instead of the identity server. To enable this functionality, ensure `email` and `public_baseurl` config options are filled out.
|
||
|
||
If you would like to re-enable password resets being sent from the identity server (warning: this is dangerous! See [#5345](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5345)), set `email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets` to true. ([\#5377](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5377))
|
||
- Set default room version to v4. ([\#5379](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5379))
