MSC1772 specifies the m.room.create event should be sent as part of the invite_state. This was done optionally behind an experimental flag, but is now done by default due to MSC1772 being approved.

Upgrading Synapse
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Before upgrading check if any special steps are required to upgrade from the
|
|
version you currently have installed to the current version of Synapse. The extra
|
|
instructions that may be required are listed later in this document.
|
|
|
|
* Check that your versions of Python and PostgreSQL are still supported.
|
|
|
|
Synapse follows upstream lifecycles for `Python`_ and `PostgreSQL`_, and
|
|
removes support for versions which are no longer maintained.
|
|
|
|
The website https://endoflife.date also offers convenient summaries.
|
|
|
|
.. _Python: https://devguide.python.org/devcycle/#end-of-life-branches
|
|
.. _PostgreSQL: https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/
|
|
|
|
* If Synapse was installed using `prebuilt packages
|
|
<INSTALL.md#prebuilt-packages>`_, you will need to follow the normal process
|
|
for upgrading those packages.
|
|
|
|
* If Synapse was installed from source, then:
|
|
|
|
1. Activate the virtualenv before upgrading. For example, if Synapse is
|
|
installed in a virtualenv in ``~/synapse/env`` then run:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate
|
|
|
|
2. If Synapse was installed using pip then upgrade to the latest version by
|
|
running:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
pip install --upgrade matrix-synapse
|
|
|
|
If Synapse was installed using git then upgrade to the latest version by
|
|
running:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
git pull
|
|
pip install --upgrade .
|
|
|
|
3. Restart Synapse:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
./synctl restart
|
|
|
|
To check whether your update was successful, you can check the running server
|
|
version with:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
# you may need to replace 'localhost:8008' if synapse is not configured
|
|
# to listen on port 8008.
|
|
|
|
curl http://localhost:8008/_synapse/admin/v1/server_version
|
|
|
|
Rolling back to older versions
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Rolling back to previous releases can be difficult, due to database schema
|
|
changes between releases. Where we have been able to test the rollback process,
|
|
this will be noted below.
|
|
|
|
In general, you will need to undo any changes made during the upgrade process,
|
|
for example:
|
|
|
|
* pip:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
source env/bin/activate
|
|
# replace `1.3.0` accordingly:
|
|
pip install matrix-synapse==1.3.0
|
|
|
|
* Debian:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
# replace `1.3.0` and `stretch` accordingly:
|
|
wget https://packages.matrix.org/debian/pool/main/m/matrix-synapse-py3/matrix-synapse-py3_1.3.0+stretch1_amd64.deb
|
|
dpkg -i matrix-synapse-py3_1.3.0+stretch1_amd64.deb
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.34.0
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
`room_invite_state_types` configuration setting
|
|
-----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The ``room_invite_state_types`` configuration setting has been deprecated and
|
|
replaced with ``room_prejoin_state``. See the `sample configuration file <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/v1.34.0/docs/sample_config.yaml#L1515>`_.
|
|
|
|
If you have set ``room_invite_state_types`` to the default value you should simply
|
|
remove it from your configuration file. The default value used to be:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: yaml
|
|
|
|
room_invite_state_types:
|
|
- "m.room.join_rules"
|
|
- "m.room.canonical_alias"
|
|
- "m.room.avatar"
|
|
- "m.room.encryption"
|
|
- "m.room.name"
|
|
|
|
If you have customised this value by adding addition state types, you should
|
|
remove ``room_invite_state_types`` and configure ``additional_event_types`` with
|
|
your customisations.
|
|
|
|
If you have customised this value by removing state types, you should rename
|
|
``room_invite_state_types`` to ``additional_event_types``, and set
|
|
``disable_default_event_types`` to ``true``.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.33.0
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Account Validity HTML templates can now display a user's expiration date
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This may affect you if you have enabled the account validity feature, and have made use of a
|
|
custom HTML template specified by the ``account_validity.template_dir`` or ``account_validity.account_renewed_html_path``
|
|
Synapse config options.
|
|
|
|
The template can now accept an ``expiration_ts`` variable, which represents the unix timestamp in milliseconds for the
|
|
future date of which their account has been renewed until. See the
|
|
`default template <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.33.0/synapse/res/templates/account_renewed.html>`_
|
|
for an example of usage.
|
|
|
|
ALso note that a new HTML template, ``account_previously_renewed.html``, has been added. This is is shown to users
|
|
when they attempt to renew their account with a valid renewal token that has already been used before. The default
|
|
template contents can been found
|
|
`here <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.33.0/synapse/res/templates/account_previously_renewed.html>`_,
|
|
and can also accept an ``expiration_ts`` variable. This template replaces the error message users would previously see
|
|
upon attempting to use a valid renewal token more than once.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.32.0
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Regression causing connected Prometheus instances to become overwhelmed
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This release introduces `a regression <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9853>`_
|
|
that can overwhelm connected Prometheus instances. This issue is not present in
|
|
Synapse v1.32.0rc1.
|
|
|
|
If you have been affected, please downgrade to 1.31.0. You then may need to
|
|
remove excess writeahead logs in order for Prometheus to recover. Instructions
|
|
for doing so are provided
|
|
`here <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/9854#issuecomment-823472183>`_.
|
|
|
|
Dropping support for old Python, Postgres and SQLite versions
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In line with our `deprecation policy <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.32.0/docs/deprecation_policy.md>`_,
|
|
we've dropped support for Python 3.5 and PostgreSQL 9.5, as they are no longer supported upstream.
|
|
|
|
This release of Synapse requires Python 3.6+ and PostgresSQL 9.6+ or SQLite 3.22+.
|
|
|
|
Removal of old List Accounts Admin API
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The deprecated v1 "list accounts" admin API (``GET /_synapse/admin/v1/users/<user_id>``) has been removed in this version.
|
|
|
|
The `v2 list accounts API <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/admin_api/user_admin_api.rst#list-accounts>`_
|
|
has been available since Synapse 1.7.0 (2019-12-13), and is accessible under ``GET /_synapse/admin/v2/users``.
|
|
|
|
The deprecation of the old endpoint was announced with Synapse 1.28.0 (released on 2021-02-25).
|
|
|
|
Application Services must use type ``m.login.application_service`` when registering users
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In compliance with the
|
|
`Application Service spec <https://matrix.org/docs/spec/application_service/r0.1.2#server-admin-style-permissions>`_,
|
|
Application Services are now required to use the ``m.login.application_service`` type when registering users via the
|
|
``/_matrix/client/r0/register`` endpoint. This behaviour was deprecated in Synapse v1.30.0.
|
|
|
|
Please ensure your Application Services are up to date.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.29.0
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Requirement for X-Forwarded-Proto header
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
When using Synapse with a reverse proxy (in particular, when using the
|
|
`x_forwarded` option on an HTTP listener), Synapse now expects to receive an
|
|
`X-Forwarded-Proto` header on incoming HTTP requests. If it is not set, Synapse
|
|
will log a warning on each received request.
|
|
|
|
To avoid the warning, administrators using a reverse proxy should ensure that
|
|
the reverse proxy sets `X-Forwarded-Proto` header to `https` or `http` to
|
|
indicate the protocol used by the client.
|
|
|
|
Synapse also requires the `Host` header to be preserved.
|
|
|
|
See the `reverse proxy documentation <docs/reverse_proxy.md>`_, where the
|
|
example configurations have been updated to show how to set these headers.
|
|
|
|
(Users of `Caddy <https://caddyserver.com/>`_ are unaffected, since we believe it
|
|
sets `X-Forwarded-Proto` by default.)
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.27.0
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Changes to callback URI for OAuth2 / OpenID Connect and SAML2
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This version changes the URI used for callbacks from OAuth2 and SAML2 identity providers:
|
|
|
|
* If your server is configured for single sign-on via an OpenID Connect or OAuth2 identity
|
|
provider, you will need to add ``[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/callback``
|
|
to the list of permitted "redirect URIs" at the identity provider.
|
|
|
|
See `docs/openid.md <docs/openid.md>`_ for more information on setting up OpenID
|
|
Connect.
|
|
|
|
* If your server is configured for single sign-on via a SAML2 identity provider, you will
|
|
need to add ``[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/saml2/authn_response`` as a permitted
|
|
"ACS location" (also known as "allowed callback URLs") at the identity provider.
|
|
|
|
The "Issuer" in the "AuthnRequest" to the SAML2 identity provider is also updated to
|
|
``[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/saml2/metadata.xml``. If your SAML2 identity
|
|
provider uses this property to validate or otherwise identify Synapse, its configuration
|
|
will need to be updated to use the new URL. Alternatively you could create a new, separate
|
|
"EntityDescriptor" in your SAML2 identity provider with the new URLs and leave the URLs in
|
|
the existing "EntityDescriptor" as they were.
|
|
|
|
Changes to HTML templates
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
The HTML templates for SSO and email notifications now have `Jinja2's autoescape <https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/2.11.x/api/#autoescaping>`_
|
|
enabled for files ending in ``.html``, ``.htm``, and ``.xml``. If you have customised
|
|
these templates and see issues when viewing them you might need to update them.
|
|
It is expected that most configurations will need no changes.
|
|
|
|
If you have customised the templates *names* for these templates, it is recommended
|
|
to verify they end in ``.html`` to ensure autoescape is enabled.
|
|
|
|
The above applies to the following templates:
|
|
|
|
* ``add_threepid.html``
|
|
* ``add_threepid_failure.html``
|
|
* ``add_threepid_success.html``
|
|
* ``notice_expiry.html``
|
|
* ``notice_expiry.html``
|
|
* ``notif_mail.html`` (which, by default, includes ``room.html`` and ``notif.html``)
|
|
* ``password_reset.html``
|
|
* ``password_reset_confirmation.html``
|
|
* ``password_reset_failure.html``
|
|
* ``password_reset_success.html``
|
|
* ``registration.html``
|
|
* ``registration_failure.html``
|
|
* ``registration_success.html``
|
|
* ``sso_account_deactivated.html``
|
|
* ``sso_auth_bad_user.html``
|
|
* ``sso_auth_confirm.html``
|
|
* ``sso_auth_success.html``
|
|
* ``sso_error.html``
|
|
* ``sso_login_idp_picker.html``
|
|
* ``sso_redirect_confirm.html``
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.26.0
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Rolling back to v1.25.0 after a failed upgrade
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
v1.26.0 includes a lot of large changes. If something problematic occurs, you
|
|
may want to roll-back to a previous version of Synapse. Because v1.26.0 also
|
|
includes a new database schema version, reverting that version is also required
|
|
alongside the generic rollback instructions mentioned above. In short, to roll
|
|
back to v1.25.0 you need to:
|
|
|
|
1. Stop the server
|
|
2. Decrease the schema version in the database:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: sql
|
|
|
|
UPDATE schema_version SET version = 58;
|
|
|
|
3. Delete the ignored users & chain cover data:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: sql
|
|
|
|
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ignored_users;
|
|
UPDATE rooms SET has_auth_chain_index = false;
|
|
|
|
For PostgreSQL run:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: sql
|
|
|
|
TRUNCATE event_auth_chain_links;
|
|
TRUNCATE event_auth_chains;
|
|
|
|
For SQLite run:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: sql
|
|
|
|
DELETE FROM event_auth_chain_links;
|
|
DELETE FROM event_auth_chains;
|
|
|
|
4. Mark the deltas as not run (so they will re-run on upgrade).
|
|
|
|
.. code:: sql
|
|
|
|
DELETE FROM applied_schema_deltas WHERE version = 59 AND file = "59/01ignored_user.py";
|
|
DELETE FROM applied_schema_deltas WHERE version = 59 AND file = "59/06chain_cover_index.sql";
|
|
|
|
5. Downgrade Synapse by following the instructions for your installation method
|
|
in the "Rolling back to older versions" section above.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.25.0
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Last release supporting Python 3.5
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is the last release of Synapse which guarantees support with Python 3.5,
|
|
which passed its upstream End of Life date several months ago.
|
|
|
|
We will attempt to maintain support through March 2021, but without guarantees.
|
|
|
|
In the future, Synapse will follow upstream schedules for ending support of
|
|
older versions of Python and PostgreSQL. Please upgrade to at least Python 3.6
|
|
and PostgreSQL 9.6 as soon as possible.
|
|
|
|
Blacklisting IP ranges
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Synapse v1.25.0 includes new settings, ``ip_range_blacklist`` and
|
|
``ip_range_whitelist``, for controlling outgoing requests from Synapse for federation,
|
|
identity servers, push, and for checking key validity for third-party invite events.
|
|
The previous setting, ``federation_ip_range_blacklist``, is deprecated. The new
|
|
``ip_range_blacklist`` defaults to private IP ranges if it is not defined.
|
|
|
|
If you have never customised ``federation_ip_range_blacklist`` it is recommended
|
|
that you remove that setting.
|
|
|
|
If you have customised ``federation_ip_range_blacklist`` you should update the
|
|
setting name to ``ip_range_blacklist``.
|
|
|
|
If you have a custom push server that is reached via private IP space you may
|
|
need to customise ``ip_range_blacklist`` or ``ip_range_whitelist``.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.24.0
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Custom OpenID Connect mapping provider breaking change
|
|
------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This release allows the OpenID Connect mapping provider to perform normalisation
|
|
of the localpart of the Matrix ID. This allows for the mapping provider to
|
|
specify different algorithms, instead of the [default way](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/appendices#mapping-from-other-character-sets).
|
|
|
|
If your Synapse configuration uses a custom mapping provider
|
|
(`oidc_config.user_mapping_provider.module` is specified and not equal to
|
|
`synapse.handlers.oidc_handler.JinjaOidcMappingProvider`) then you *must* ensure
|
|
that `map_user_attributes` of the mapping provider performs some normalisation
|
|
of the `localpart` returned. To match previous behaviour you can use the
|
|
`map_username_to_mxid_localpart` function provided by Synapse. An example is
|
|
shown below:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from synapse.types import map_username_to_mxid_localpart
|
|
|
|
class MyMappingProvider:
|
|
def map_user_attributes(self, userinfo, token):
|
|
# ... your custom logic ...
|
|
sso_user_id = ...
|
|
localpart = map_username_to_mxid_localpart(sso_user_id)
|
|
|
|
return {"localpart": localpart}
|
|
|
|
Removal historical Synapse Admin API
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Historically, the Synapse Admin API has been accessible under:
|
|
|
|
* ``/_matrix/client/api/v1/admin``
|
|
* ``/_matrix/client/unstable/admin``
|
|
* ``/_matrix/client/r0/admin``
|
|
* ``/_synapse/admin/v1``
|
|
|
|
The endpoints with ``/_matrix/client/*`` prefixes have been removed as of v1.24.0.
|
|
The Admin API is now only accessible under:
|
|
|
|
* ``/_synapse/admin/v1``
|
|
|
|
The only exception is the `/admin/whois` endpoint, which is
|
|
`also available via the client-server API <https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#get-matrix-client-r0-admin-whois-userid>`_.
|
|
|
|
The deprecation of the old endpoints was announced with Synapse 1.20.0 (released
|
|
on 2020-09-22) and makes it easier for homeserver admins to lock down external
|
|
access to the Admin API endpoints.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.23.0
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Structured logging configuration breaking changes
|
|
-------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This release deprecates use of the ``structured: true`` logging configuration for
|
|
structured logging. If your logging configuration contains ``structured: true``
|
|
then it should be modified based on the `structured logging documentation
|
|
<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/structured_logging.md>`_.
|
|
|
|
The ``structured`` and ``drains`` logging options are now deprecated and should
|
|
be replaced by standard logging configuration of ``handlers`` and ``formatters``.
|
|
|
|
A future will release of Synapse will make using ``structured: true`` an error.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.22.0
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
ThirdPartyEventRules breaking changes
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This release introduces a backwards-incompatible change to modules making use of
|
|
``ThirdPartyEventRules`` in Synapse. If you make use of a module defined under the
|
|
``third_party_event_rules`` config option, please make sure it is updated to handle
|
|
the below change:
|
|
|
|
The ``http_client`` argument is no longer passed to modules as they are initialised. Instead,
|
|
modules are expected to make use of the ``http_client`` property on the ``ModuleApi`` class.
|
|
Modules are now passed a ``module_api`` argument during initialisation, which is an instance of
|
|
``ModuleApi``. ``ModuleApi`` instances have a ``http_client`` property which acts the same as
|
|
the ``http_client`` argument previously passed to ``ThirdPartyEventRules`` modules.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.21.0
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Forwarding ``/_synapse/client`` through your reverse proxy
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The `reverse proxy documentation
|
|
<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/reverse_proxy.md>`_ has been updated
|
|
to include reverse proxy directives for ``/_synapse/client/*`` endpoints. As the user password
|
|
reset flow now uses endpoints under this prefix, **you must update your reverse proxy
|
|
configurations for user password reset to work**.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, note that the `Synapse worker documentation
|
|
<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/workers.md>`_ has been updated to
|
|
state that the ``/_synapse/client/password_reset/email/submit_token`` endpoint can be handled
|
|
by all workers. If you make use of Synapse's worker feature, please update your reverse proxy
|
|
configuration to reflect this change.
|
|
|
|
New HTML templates
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
A new HTML template,
|
|
`password_reset_confirmation.html <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/synapse/res/templates/password_reset_confirmation.html>`_,
|
|
has been added to the ``synapse/res/templates`` directory. If you are using a
|
|
custom template directory, you may want to copy the template over and modify it.
|
|
|
|
Note that as of v1.20.0, templates do not need to be included in custom template
|
|
directories for Synapse to start. The default templates will be used if a custom
|
|
template cannot be found.
|
|
|
|
This page will appear to the user after clicking a password reset link that has
|
|
been emailed to them.
|
|
|
|
To complete password reset, the page must include a way to make a `POST`
|
|
request to
|
|
``/_synapse/client/password_reset/{medium}/submit_token``
|
|
with the query parameters from the original link, presented as a URL-encoded form. See the file
|
|
itself for more details.
|
|
|
|
Updated Single Sign-on HTML Templates
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The ``saml_error.html`` template was removed from Synapse and replaced with the
|
|
``sso_error.html`` template. If your Synapse is configured to use SAML and a
|
|
custom ``sso_redirect_confirm_template_dir`` configuration then any customisations
|
|
of the ``saml_error.html`` template will need to be merged into the ``sso_error.html``
|
|
template. These templates are similar, but the parameters are slightly different:
|
|
|
|
* The ``msg`` parameter should be renamed to ``error_description``.
|
|
* There is no longer a ``code`` parameter for the response code.
|
|
* A string ``error`` parameter is available that includes a short hint of why a
|
|
user is seeing the error page.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.18.0
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Docker `-py3` suffix will be removed in future versions
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Redis replication is now recommended in lieu of TCP 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 <docs/workers.md>`_ for more details.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.14.0
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
This version includes a database update which is run as part of the upgrade,
|
|
and which may take a couple of minutes in the case of a large server. Synapse
|
|
will not respond to HTTP requests while this update is taking place.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.13.0
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Incorrect database migration in old synapse versions
|
|
----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
This will *not* be a problem for Synapse installations which were:
|
|
* created at v1.4.0 or later,
|
|
* upgraded via v1.3.x, or
|
|
* upgraded straight from v1.2.1 or earlier to v1.13.0 or later.
|
|
|
|
If completeness of the room directory is a concern, installations which are
|
|
affected can be repaired as follows:
|
|
|
|
1. Run the following sql from a `psql` or `sqlite3` console:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: sql
|
|
|
|
INSERT INTO background_updates (update_name, progress_json, depends_on) VALUES
|
|
('populate_stats_process_rooms', '{}', 'current_state_events_membership');
|
|
|
|
INSERT INTO background_updates (update_name, progress_json, depends_on) VALUES
|
|
('populate_stats_process_users', '{}', 'populate_stats_process_rooms');
|
|
|
|
2. Restart synapse.
|
|
|
|
New Single Sign-on HTML Templates
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
New templates (``sso_auth_confirm.html``, ``sso_auth_success.html``, and
|
|
``sso_account_deactivated.html``) were added to Synapse. If your Synapse is
|
|
configured to use SSO and a custom ``sso_redirect_confirm_template_dir``
|
|
configuration then these templates will need to be copied from
|
|
`synapse/res/templates <synapse/res/templates>`_ into that directory.
|
|
|
|
Synapse SSO Plugins Method Deprecation
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Plugins using the ``complete_sso_login`` method of
|
|
``synapse.module_api.ModuleApi`` should update to using the async/await
|
|
version ``complete_sso_login_async`` which includes additional checks. The
|
|
non-async version is considered deprecated.
|
|
|
|
Rolling back to v1.12.4 after a failed upgrade
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
v1.13.0 includes a lot of large changes. If something problematic occurs, you
|
|
may want to roll-back to a previous version of Synapse. Because v1.13.0 also
|
|
includes a new database schema version, reverting that version is also required
|
|
alongside the generic rollback instructions mentioned above. In short, to roll
|
|
back to v1.12.4 you need to:
|
|
|
|
1. Stop the server
|
|
2. Decrease the schema version in the database:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: sql
|
|
|
|
UPDATE schema_version SET version = 57;
|
|
|
|
3. Downgrade Synapse by following the instructions for your installation method
|
|
in the "Rolling back to older versions" section above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.12.0
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
This version 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.
|
|
|
|
This is only likely to be a problem in the case of a server which is
|
|
participating in many rooms.
|
|
|
|
0. As with all upgrades, it is recommended that you have a recent backup of
|
|
your database which can be used for recovery in the event of any problems.
|
|
|
|
1. As an initial check to see if you will be affected, you can try running the
|
|
following query from the `psql` or `sqlite3` console. It is safe to run it
|
|
while Synapse is still running.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: sql
|
|
|
|
SELECT MAX(q.v) FROM (
|
|
SELECT (
|
|
SELECT ej.json AS v
|
|
FROM state_events se INNER JOIN event_json ej USING (event_id)
|
|
WHERE se.room_id=rooms.room_id AND se.type='m.room.create' AND se.state_key=''
|
|
LIMIT 1
|
|
) FROM rooms WHERE rooms.room_version IS NULL
|
|
) q;
|
|
|
|
This query will take about the same amount of time as the upgrade process: ie,
|
|
if it takes 5 minutes, then it is likely that Synapse will be unresponsive for
|
|
5 minutes during the upgrade.
|
|
|
|
If you consider an outage of this duration to be acceptable, no further
|
|
action is necessary and you can simply start Synapse 1.12.0.
|
|
|
|
If you would prefer to reduce the downtime, continue with the steps below.
|
|
|
|
2. The easiest workaround for this issue is to manually
|
|
create a new index before upgrading. On PostgreSQL, his can be done as follows:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: sql
|
|
|
|
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY tmp_upgrade_1_12_0_index
|
|
ON state_events(room_id) WHERE type = 'm.room.create';
|
|
|
|
The above query may take some time, but is also safe to run while Synapse is
|
|
running.
|
|
|
|
We assume that no SQLite users have databases large enough to be
|
|
affected. If you *are* affected, you can run a similar query, omitting the
|
|
``CONCURRENTLY`` keyword. Note however that this operation may in itself cause
|
|
Synapse to stop running for some time. Synapse admins are reminded that
|
|
`SQLite is not recommended for use outside a test
|
|
environment <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/README.rst#using-postgresql>`_.
|
|
|
|
3. Once the index has been created, the ``SELECT`` query in step 1 above should
|
|
complete quickly. It is therefore safe to upgrade to Synapse 1.12.0.
|
|
|
|
4. Once Synapse 1.12.0 has successfully started and is responding to HTTP
|
|
requests, the temporary index can be removed:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: sql
|
|
|
|
DROP INDEX tmp_upgrade_1_12_0_index;
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.10.0
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Synapse will now log a warning on start up if used with a PostgreSQL database
|
|
that has a non-recommended locale set.
|
|
|
|
See `docs/postgres.md <docs/postgres.md>`_ for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.8.0
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Specifying a ``log_file`` config option will now cause Synapse to refuse to
|
|
start, and should be replaced by with the ``log_config`` option. Support for
|
|
the ``log_file`` option was removed in v1.3.0 and has since had no effect.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.7.0
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
In an attempt to configure Synapse in a privacy preserving way, the default
|
|
behaviours of ``allow_public_rooms_without_auth`` and
|
|
``allow_public_rooms_over_federation`` have been inverted. This means that by
|
|
default, only authenticated users querying the Client/Server API will be able
|
|
to query the room directory, and relatedly that the server will not share
|
|
room directory information with other servers over federation.
|
|
|
|
If your installation does not explicitly set these settings one way or the other
|
|
and you want either setting to be ``true`` then it will necessary to update
|
|
your homeserver configuration file accordingly.
|
|
|
|
For more details on the surrounding context see our `explainer
|
|
<https://matrix.org/blog/2019/11/09/avoiding-unwelcome-visitors-on-private-matrix-servers>`_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.5.0
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
This release includes a database migration which may take several minutes to
|
|
complete if there are a large number (more than a million or so) of entries in
|
|
the ``devices`` table. This is only likely to a be a problem on very large
|
|
installations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.4.0
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
New custom templates
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
If you have configured a custom template directory with the
|
|
``email.template_dir`` option, be aware that there are new templates regarding
|
|
registration and threepid management (see below) that must be included.
|
|
|
|
* ``registration.html`` and ``registration.txt``
|
|
* ``registration_success.html`` and ``registration_failure.html``
|
|
* ``add_threepid.html`` and ``add_threepid.txt``
|
|
* ``add_threepid_failure.html`` and ``add_threepid_success.html``
|
|
|
|
Synapse will expect these files to exist inside the configured template
|
|
directory, and **will fail to start** if they are absent.
|
|
To view the default templates, see `synapse/res/templates
|
|
<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/synapse/res/templates>`_.
|
|
|
|
3pid verification changes
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
**Note: As of this release, users will be unable to add phone numbers or email
|
|
addresses to their accounts, without changes to the Synapse configuration. This
|
|
includes adding an email address during registration.**
|
|
|
|
It is possible for a user to associate an email address or phone number
|
|
with their account, for a number of reasons:
|
|
|
|
* for use when logging in, as an alternative to the user id.
|
|
* in the case of email, as an alternative contact to help with account recovery.
|
|
* in the case of email, to receive notifications of missed messages.
|
|
|
|
Before an email address or phone number can be added to a user's account,
|
|
or before such an address is used to carry out a password-reset, Synapse must
|
|
confirm the operation with the owner of the email address or phone number.
|
|
It does this by sending an email or text giving the user a link or token to confirm
|
|
receipt. This process is known as '3pid verification'. ('3pid', or 'threepid',
|
|
stands for third-party identifier, and we use it to refer to external
|
|
identifiers such as email addresses and phone numbers.)
|
|
|
|
Previous versions of Synapse delegated the task of 3pid verification to an
|
|
identity server by default. In most cases this server is ``vector.im`` or
|
|
``matrix.org``.
|
|
|
|
In Synapse 1.4.0, for security and privacy reasons, the homeserver will no
|
|
longer delegate this task to an identity server by default. Instead,
|
|
the server administrator will need to explicitly decide how they would like the
|
|
verification messages to be sent.
|
|
|
|
In the medium term, the ``vector.im`` and ``matrix.org`` identity servers will
|
|
disable support for delegated 3pid verification entirely. However, in order to
|
|
ease the transition, they will retain the capability for a limited
|
|
period. Delegated email verification will be disabled on Monday 2nd December
|
|
2019 (giving roughly 2 months notice). Disabling delegated SMS verification
|
|
will follow some time after that once SMS verification support lands in
|
|
Synapse.
|
|
|
|
Once delegated 3pid verification support has been disabled in the ``vector.im`` and
|
|
``matrix.org`` identity servers, all Synapse versions that depend on those
|
|
instances will be unable to verify email and phone numbers through them. There
|
|
are no imminent plans to remove delegated 3pid verification from Sydent
|
|
generally. (Sydent is the identity server project that backs the ``vector.im`` and
|
|
``matrix.org`` instances).
|
|
|
|
Email
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
Following upgrade, to continue verifying email (e.g. as part of the
|
|
registration process), admins can either:-
|
|
|
|
* Configure Synapse to use an email server.
|
|
* Run or choose an identity server which allows delegated email verification
|
|
and delegate to it.
|
|
|
|
Configure SMTP in Synapse
|
|
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
To configure an SMTP server for Synapse, modify the configuration section
|
|
headed ``email``, and be sure to have at least the ``smtp_host, smtp_port``
|
|
and ``notif_from`` fields filled out.
|
|
|
|
You may also need to set ``smtp_user``, ``smtp_pass``, and
|
|
``require_transport_security``.
|
|
|
|
See the `sample configuration file <docs/sample_config.yaml>`_ for more details
|
|
on these settings.
|
|
|
|
Delegate email to an identity server
|
|
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
Some admins will wish to continue using email verification as part of the
|
|
registration process, but will not immediately have an appropriate SMTP server
|
|
at hand.
|
|
|
|
To this end, we will continue to support email verification delegation via the
|
|
``vector.im`` and ``matrix.org`` identity servers for two months. Support for
|
|
delegated email verification will be disabled on Monday 2nd December.
|
|
|
|
The ``account_threepid_delegates`` dictionary defines whether the homeserver
|
|
should delegate an external server (typically an `identity server
|
|
<https://matrix.org/docs/spec/identity_service/r0.2.1>`_) to handle sending
|
|
confirmation messages via email and SMS.
|
|
|
|
So to delegate email verification, in ``homeserver.yaml``, set
|
|
``account_threepid_delegates.email`` to the base URL of an identity server. For
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: yaml
|
|
|
|
account_threepid_delegates:
|
|
email: https://example.com # Delegate email sending to example.com
|
|
|
|
Note that ``account_threepid_delegates.email`` replaces the deprecated
|
|
``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets``: if
|
|
``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` is set to ``true``, and
|
|
``account_threepid_delegates.email`` is not set, then the first entry in
|
|
``trusted_third_party_id_servers`` will be used as the
|
|
``account_threepid_delegate`` for email. This is to ensure compatibility with
|
|
existing Synapse installs that set up external server handling for these tasks
|
|
before v1.4.0. If ``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` is
|
|
``true`` and no trusted identity server domains are configured, Synapse will
|
|
report an error and refuse to start.
|
|
|
|
If ``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` is ``false`` or absent
|
|
and no ``email`` delegate is configured in ``account_threepid_delegates``,
|
|
then Synapse will send email verification messages itself, using the configured
|
|
SMTP server (see above).
|
|
that type.
|
|
|
|
Phone numbers
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Synapse does not support phone-number verification itself, so the only way to
|
|
maintain the ability for users to add phone numbers to their accounts will be
|
|
by continuing to delegate phone number verification to the ``matrix.org`` and
|
|
``vector.im`` identity servers (or another identity server that supports SMS
|
|
sending).
|
|
|
|
The ``account_threepid_delegates`` dictionary defines whether the homeserver
|
|
should delegate an external server (typically an `identity server
|
|
<https://matrix.org/docs/spec/identity_service/r0.2.1>`_) to handle sending
|
|
confirmation messages via email and SMS.
|
|
|
|
So to delegate phone number verification, in ``homeserver.yaml``, set
|
|
``account_threepid_delegates.msisdn`` to the base URL of an identity
|
|
server. For example:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: yaml
|
|
|
|
account_threepid_delegates:
|
|
msisdn: https://example.com # Delegate sms sending to example.com
|
|
|
|
The ``matrix.org`` and ``vector.im`` identity servers will continue to support
|
|
delegated phone number verification via SMS until such time as it is possible
|
|
for admins to configure their servers to perform phone number verification
|
|
directly. More details will follow in a future release.
|
|
|
|
Rolling back to v1.3.1
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
If you encounter problems with v1.4.0, it should be possible to roll back to
|
|
v1.3.1, subject to the following:
|
|
|
|
* The 'room statistics' engine was heavily reworked in this release (see
|
|
`#5971 <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5971>`_), including
|
|
significant changes to the database schema, which are not easily
|
|
reverted. This will cause the room statistics engine to stop updating when
|
|
you downgrade.
|
|
|
|
The room statistics are essentially unused in v1.3.1 (in future versions of
|
|
Synapse, they will be used to populate the room directory), so there should
|
|
be no loss of functionality. However, the statistics engine will write errors
|
|
to the logs, which can be avoided by setting the following in
|
|
`homeserver.yaml`:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: yaml
|
|
|
|
stats:
|
|
enabled: false
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to re-enable it when you upgrade again, in preparation for its
|
|
use in the room directory!
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.2.0
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Some counter metrics have been renamed, with the old names deprecated. See
|
|
`the metrics documentation <docs/metrics-howto.md#renaming-of-metrics--deprecation-of-old-names-in-12>`_
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.1.0
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Synapse v1.1.0 removes support for older Python and PostgreSQL versions, as
|
|
outlined in `our deprecation notice <https://matrix.org/blog/2019/04/08/synapse-deprecating-postgres-9-4-and-python-2-x>`_.
|
|
|
|
Minimum Python Version
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Synapse v1.1.0 has a minimum Python requirement of Python 3.5. Python 3.6 or
|
|
Python 3.7 are recommended as they have improved internal string handling,
|
|
significantly reducing memory usage.
|
|
|
|
If you use current versions of the Matrix.org-distributed Debian packages or
|
|
Docker images, action is not required.
|
|
|
|
If you install Synapse in a Python virtual environment, please see "Upgrading to
|
|
v0.34.0" for notes on setting up a new virtualenv under Python 3.
|
|
|
|
Minimum PostgreSQL Version
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
If using PostgreSQL under Synapse, you will need to use PostgreSQL 9.5 or above.
|
|
Please see the
|
|
`PostgreSQL documentation <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/upgrading.html>`_
|
|
for more details on upgrading your database.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.0
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Validation of TLS certificates
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Synapse v1.0 is the first release to enforce
|
|
validation of TLS certificates for the federation API. It is therefore
|
|
essential that your certificates are correctly configured. See the `FAQ
|
|
<docs/MSC1711_certificates_FAQ.md>`_ for more information.
|
|
|
|
Note, v1.0 installations will also no longer be able to federate with servers
|
|
that have not correctly configured their certificates.
|
|
|
|
In rare cases, it may be desirable to disable certificate checking: for
|
|
example, it might be essential to be able to federate with a given legacy
|
|
server in a closed federation. This can be done in one of two ways:-
|
|
|
|
* Configure the global switch ``federation_verify_certificates`` to ``false``.
|
|
* Configure a whitelist of server domains to trust via ``federation_certificate_verification_whitelist``.
|
|
|
|
See the `sample configuration file <docs/sample_config.yaml>`_
|
|
for more details on these settings.
|
|
|
|
Email
|
|
-----
|
|
When a user requests a password reset, Synapse will send an email to the
|
|
user to confirm the request.
|
|
|
|
Previous versions of Synapse delegated the job of sending this email to an
|
|
identity server. If the identity server was somehow malicious or became
|
|
compromised, it would be theoretically possible to hijack an account through
|
|
this means.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, by default, Synapse v1.0 will send the confirmation email itself. If
|
|
Synapse is not configured with an SMTP server, password reset via email will be
|
|
disabled.
|
|
|
|
To configure an SMTP server for Synapse, modify the configuration section
|
|
headed ``email``, and be sure to have at least the ``smtp_host``, ``smtp_port``
|
|
and ``notif_from`` fields filled out. You may also need to set ``smtp_user``,
|
|
``smtp_pass``, and ``require_transport_security``.
|
|
|
|
If you are absolutely certain that you wish to continue using an identity
|
|
server for password resets, set ``trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` to ``true``.
|
|
|
|
See the `sample configuration file <docs/sample_config.yaml>`_
|
|
for more details on these settings.
|
|
|
|
New email templates
|
|
---------------
|
|
Some new templates have been added to the default template directory for the purpose of the
|
|
homeserver sending its own password reset emails. If you have configured a custom
|
|
``template_dir`` in your Synapse config, these files will need to be added.
|
|
|
|
``password_reset.html`` and ``password_reset.txt`` are HTML and plain text templates
|
|
respectively that contain the contents of what will be emailed to the user upon attempting to
|
|
reset their password via email. ``password_reset_success.html`` and
|
|
``password_reset_failure.html`` are HTML files that the content of which (assuming no redirect
|
|
URL is set) will be shown to the user after they attempt to click the link in the email sent
|
|
to them.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v0.99.0
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Please be aware that, before Synapse v1.0 is released around March 2019, you
|
|
will need to replace any self-signed certificates with those verified by a
|
|
root CA. Information on how to do so can be found at `the ACME docs
|
|
<docs/ACME.md>`_.
|
|
|
|
For more information on configuring TLS certificates see the `FAQ <docs/MSC1711_certificates_FAQ.md>`_.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v0.34.0
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
1. This release is the first to fully support Python 3. Synapse will now run on
|
|
Python versions 3.5, or 3.6 (as well as 2.7). We recommend switching to
|
|
Python 3, as it has been shown to give performance improvements.
|
|
|
|
For users who have installed Synapse into a virtualenv, we recommend doing
|
|
this by creating a new virtualenv. For example::
|
|
|
|
virtualenv -p python3 ~/synapse/env3
|
|
source ~/synapse/env3/bin/activate
|
|
pip install matrix-synapse
|
|
|
|
You can then start synapse as normal, having activated the new virtualenv::
|
|
|
|
cd ~/synapse
|
|
source env3/bin/activate
|
|
synctl start
|
|
|
|
Users who have installed from distribution packages should see the relevant
|
|
package documentation. See below for notes on Debian packages.
|
|
|
|
* When upgrading to Python 3, you **must** make sure that your log files are
|
|
configured as UTF-8, by adding ``encoding: utf8`` to the
|
|
``RotatingFileHandler`` configuration (if you have one) in your
|
|
``<server>.log.config`` file. For example, if your ``log.config`` file
|
|
contains::
|
|
|
|
handlers:
|
|
file:
|
|
class: logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler
|
|
formatter: precise
|
|
filename: homeserver.log
|
|
maxBytes: 104857600
|
|
backupCount: 10
|
|
filters: [context]
|
|
console:
|
|
class: logging.StreamHandler
|
|
formatter: precise
|
|
filters: [context]
|
|
|
|
Then you should update this to be::
|
|
|
|
handlers:
|
|
file:
|
|
class: logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler
|
|
formatter: precise
|
|
filename: homeserver.log
|
|
maxBytes: 104857600
|
|
backupCount: 10
|
|
filters: [context]
|
|
encoding: utf8
|
|
console:
|
|
class: logging.StreamHandler
|
|
formatter: precise
|
|
filters: [context]
|
|
|
|
There is no need to revert this change if downgrading to Python 2.
|
|
|
|
We are also making available Debian packages which will run Synapse on
|
|
Python 3. You can switch to these packages with ``apt-get install
|
|
matrix-synapse-py3``, however, please read `debian/NEWS
|
|
<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v0.34.0/debian/NEWS>`_
|
|
before doing so. The existing ``matrix-synapse`` packages will continue to
|
|
use Python 2 for the time being.
|
|
|
|
2. This release removes the ``riot.im`` from the default list of trusted
|
|
identity servers.
|
|
|
|
If ``riot.im`` is in your homeserver's list of
|
|
``trusted_third_party_id_servers``, you should remove it. It was added in
|
|
case a hypothetical future identity server was put there. If you don't
|
|
remove it, users may be unable to deactivate their accounts.
|
|
|
|
3. This release no longer installs the (unmaintained) Matrix Console web client
|
|
as part of the default installation. It is possible to re-enable it by
|
|
installing it separately and setting the ``web_client_location`` config
|
|
option, but please consider switching to another client.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v0.33.7
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
This release removes the example email notification templates from
|
|
``res/templates`` (they are now internal to the python package). This should
|
|
only affect you if you (a) deploy your Synapse instance from a git checkout or
|
|
a github snapshot URL, and (b) have email notifications enabled.
|
|
|
|
If you have email notifications enabled, you should ensure that
|
|
``email.template_dir`` is either configured to point at a directory where you
|
|
have installed customised templates, or leave it unset to use the default
|
|
templates.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v0.27.3
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
This release expands the anonymous usage stats sent if the opt-in
|
|
``report_stats`` configuration is set to ``true``. We now capture RSS memory
|
|
and cpu use at a very coarse level. This requires administrators to install
|
|
the optional ``psutil`` python module.
|
|
|
|
We would appreciate it if you could assist by ensuring this module is available
|
|
and ``report_stats`` is enabled. This will let us see if performance changes to
|
|
synapse are having an impact to the general community.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v0.15.0
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
If you want to use the new URL previewing API (/_matrix/media/r0/preview_url)
|
|
then you have to explicitly enable it in the config and update your dependencies
|
|
dependencies. See README.rst for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v0.11.0
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
This release includes the option to send anonymous usage stats to matrix.org,
|
|
and requires that administrators explictly opt in or out by setting the
|
|
``report_stats`` option to either ``true`` or ``false``.
|
|
|
|
We would really appreciate it if you could help our project out by reporting
|
|
anonymized usage statistics from your homeserver. Only very basic aggregate
|
|
data (e.g. number of users) will be reported, but it helps us to track the
|
|
growth of the Matrix community, and helps us to make Matrix a success, as well
|
|
as to convince other networks that they should peer with us.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v0.9.0
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Application services have had a breaking API change in this version.
|
|
|
|
They can no longer register themselves with a home server using the AS HTTP API. This
|
|
decision was made because a compromised application service with free reign to register
|
|
any regex in effect grants full read/write access to the home server if a regex of ``.*``
|
|
is used. An attack where a compromised AS re-registers itself with ``.*`` was deemed too
|
|
big of a security risk to ignore, and so the ability to register with the HS remotely has
|
|
been removed.
|
|
|
|
It has been replaced by specifying a list of application service registrations in
|
|
``homeserver.yaml``::
|
|
|
|
app_service_config_files: ["registration-01.yaml", "registration-02.yaml"]
|
|
|
|
Where ``registration-01.yaml`` looks like::
|
|
|
|
url: <String> # e.g. "https://my.application.service.com"
|
|
as_token: <String>
|
|
hs_token: <String>
|
|
sender_localpart: <String> # This is a new field which denotes the user_id localpart when using the AS token
|
|
namespaces:
|
|
users:
|
|
- exclusive: <Boolean>
|
|
regex: <String> # e.g. "@prefix_.*"
|
|
aliases:
|
|
- exclusive: <Boolean>
|
|
regex: <String>
|
|
rooms:
|
|
- exclusive: <Boolean>
|
|
regex: <String>
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v0.8.0
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Servers which use captchas will need to add their public key to::
|
|
|
|
static/client/register/register_config.js
|
|
|
|
window.matrixRegistrationConfig = {
|
|
recaptcha_public_key: "YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY"
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
This is required in order to support registration fallback (typically used on
|
|
mobile devices).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v0.7.0
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
New dependencies are:
|
|
|
|
- pydenticon
|
|
- simplejson
|
|
- syutil
|
|
- matrix-angular-sdk
|
|
|
|
To pull in these dependencies in a virtual env, run::
|
|
|
|
python synapse/python_dependencies.py | xargs -n 1 pip install
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v0.6.0
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
To pull in new dependencies, run::
|
|
|
|
python setup.py develop --user
|
|
|
|
This update includes a change to the database schema. To upgrade you first need
|
|
to upgrade the database by running::
|
|
|
|
python scripts/upgrade_db_to_v0.6.0.py <db> <server_name> <signing_key>
|
|
|
|
Where `<db>` is the location of the database, `<server_name>` is the
|
|
server name as specified in the synapse configuration, and `<signing_key>` is
|
|
the location of the signing key as specified in the synapse configuration.
|
|
|
|
This may take some time to complete. Failures of signatures and content hashes
|
|
can safely be ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v0.5.1
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Depending on precisely when you installed v0.5.0 you may have ended up with
|
|
a stale release of the reference matrix webclient installed as a python module.
|
|
To uninstall it and ensure you are depending on the latest module, please run::
|
|
|
|
$ pip uninstall syweb
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v0.5.0
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
The webclient has been split out into a seperate repository/pacakage in this
|
|
release. Before you restart your homeserver you will need to pull in the
|
|
webclient package by running::
|
|
|
|
python setup.py develop --user
|
|
|
|
This release completely changes the database schema and so requires upgrading
|
|
it before starting the new version of the homeserver.
|
|
|
|
The script "database-prepare-for-0.5.0.sh" should be used to upgrade the
|
|
database. This will save all user information, such as logins and profiles,
|
|
but will otherwise purge the database. This includes messages, which
|
|
rooms the home server was a member of and room alias mappings.
|
|
|
|
If you would like to keep your history, please take a copy of your database
|
|
file and ask for help in #matrix:matrix.org. The upgrade process is,
|
|
unfortunately, non trivial and requires human intervention to resolve any
|
|
resulting conflicts during the upgrade process.
|
|
|
|
Before running the command the homeserver should be first completely
|
|
shutdown. To run it, simply specify the location of the database, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
./scripts/database-prepare-for-0.5.0.sh "homeserver.db"
|
|
|
|
Once this has successfully completed it will be safe to restart the
|
|
homeserver. You may notice that the homeserver takes a few seconds longer to
|
|
restart than usual as it reinitializes the database.
|
|
|
|
On startup of the new version, users can either rejoin remote rooms using room
|
|
aliases or by being reinvited. Alternatively, if any other homeserver sends a
|
|
message to a room that the homeserver was previously in the local HS will
|
|
automatically rejoin the room.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v0.4.0
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
This release needs an updated syutil version. Run::
|
|
|
|
python setup.py develop
|
|
|
|
You will also need to upgrade your configuration as the signing key format has
|
|
changed. Run::
|
|
|
|
python -m synapse.app.homeserver --config-path <CONFIG> --generate-config
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v0.3.0
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
This registration API now closely matches the login API. This introduces a bit
|
|
more backwards and forwards between the HS and the client, but this improves
|
|
the overall flexibility of the API. You can now GET on /register to retrieve a list
|
|
of valid registration flows. Upon choosing one, they are submitted in the same
|
|
way as login, e.g::
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
type: m.login.password,
|
|
user: foo,
|
|
password: bar
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
The default HS supports 2 flows, with and without Identity Server email
|
|
authentication. Enabling captcha on the HS will add in an extra step to all
|
|
flows: ``m.login.recaptcha`` which must be completed before you can transition
|
|
to the next stage. There is a new login type: ``m.login.email.identity`` which
|
|
contains the ``threepidCreds`` key which were previously sent in the original
|
|
register request. For more information on this, see the specification.
|
|
|
|
Web Client
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
The VoIP specification has changed between v0.2.0 and v0.3.0. Users should
|
|
refresh any browser tabs to get the latest web client code. Users on
|
|
v0.2.0 of the web client will not be able to call those on v0.3.0 and
|
|
vice versa.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v0.2.0
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
The home server now requires setting up of SSL config before it can run. To
|
|
automatically generate default config use::
|
|
|
|
$ python synapse/app/homeserver.py \
|
|
--server-name machine.my.domain.name \
|
|
--bind-port 8448 \
|
|
--config-path homeserver.config \
|
|
--generate-config
|
|
|
|
This config can be edited if desired, for example to specify a different SSL
|
|
certificate to use. Once done you can run the home server using::
|
|
|
|
$ python synapse/app/homeserver.py --config-path homeserver.config
|
|
|
|
See the README.rst for more information.
|
|
|
|
Also note that some config options have been renamed, including:
|
|
|
|
- "host" to "server-name"
|
|
- "database" to "database-path"
|
|
- "port" to "bind-port" and "unsecure-port"
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v0.0.1
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
This release completely changes the database schema and so requires upgrading
|
|
it before starting the new version of the homeserver.
|
|
|
|
The script "database-prepare-for-0.0.1.sh" should be used to upgrade the
|
|
database. This will save all user information, such as logins and profiles,
|
|
but will otherwise purge the database. This includes messages, which
|
|
rooms the home server was a member of and room alias mappings.
|
|
|
|
Before running the command the homeserver should be first completely
|
|
shutdown. To run it, simply specify the location of the database, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
./scripts/database-prepare-for-0.0.1.sh "homeserver.db"
|
|
|
|
Once this has successfully completed it will be safe to restart the
|
|
homeserver. You may notice that the homeserver takes a few seconds longer to
|
|
restart than usual as it reinitializes the database.
|
|
|
|
On startup of the new version, users can either rejoin remote rooms using room
|
|
aliases or by being reinvited. Alternatively, if any other homeserver sends a
|
|
message to a room that the homeserver was previously in the local HS will
|
|
automatically rejoin the room.
|
