CAPTCHA_SETUP

@@ -0,0 +1,31 @@
+Captcha can be enabled for this home server. This file explains how to do that.
+The captcha mechanism used is Google's ReCaptcha. This requires API keys from Google.
+
+Getting keys
+------------
+Requires a public/private key pair from:
+
+https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/
+
+
+Setting ReCaptcha Keys
+----------------------
+The keys are a config option on the home server config. If they are not 
+visible, you can generate them via --generate-config. Set the following value:
+
+  recaptcha_public_key: YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY
+  recaptcha_private_key: YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY
+  
+In addition, you MUST enable captchas via:
+
+  enable_registration_captcha: true
+
+Configuring IP used for auth
+----------------------------
+The ReCaptcha API requires that the IP address of the user who solved the
+captcha is sent. If the client is connecting through a proxy or load balancer,
+it may be required to use the X-Forwarded-For (XFF) header instead of the origin
+IP address. This can be configured as an option on the home server like so:
+
+  captcha_ip_origin_is_x_forwarded: true
+

+Changes in synapse vX
+=====================
+
+* Changed config option from ``disable_registration`` to
+  ``enable_registration``. Old option will be ignored.
+
+
+Changes in synapse v0.8.1 (2015-03-18)
+======================================
+
+* Disable registration by default. New users can be added using the command
+  ``register_new_matrix_user`` or by enabling registration in the config.
+* Add metrics to synapse. To enable metrics use config options
+  ``enable_metrics`` and ``metrics_port``.
+* Fix bug where banning only kicked the user.
+
+Changes in synapse v0.8.0 (2015-03-06)
+======================================
+
+General:
+
+* Add support for registration fallback. This is a page hosted on the server
+  which allows a user to register for an account, regardless of what client
+  they are using (e.g. mobile devices).
+
+* Added new default push rules and made them configurable by clients:
+
+  * Suppress all notice messages.
+  * Notify when invited to a new room.
+  * Notify for messages that don't match any rule.
+  * Notify on incoming call.
+
+Federation:
+
+* Added per host server side rate-limiting of incoming federation requests.
+* Added a ``/get_missing_events/`` API to federation to reduce number of
+  ``/events/`` requests.
+
+Configuration:
+
+* Added configuration option to disable registration:
+  ``disable_registration``.
+* Added configuration option to change soft limit of number of open file
+  descriptors: ``soft_file_limit``.
+* Make ``tls_private_key_path`` optional when running with ``no_tls``.
+
+Application services:
+
+* Application services can now poll on the CS API ``/events`` for their events,
+  by providing their application service ``access_token``.
+* Added exclusive namespace support to application services API.
+
+
+Changes in synapse v0.7.1 (2015-02-19)
+======================================
+
+* Initial alpha implementation of parts of the Application Services API.
+  Including:
+
+  - AS Registration / Unregistration
+  - User Query API
+  - Room Alias Query API
+  - Push transport for receiving events.
+  - User/Alias namespace admin control
+
+* Add cache when fetching events from remote servers to stop repeatedly
+  fetching events with bad signatures.
+* Respect the per remote server retry scheme when fetching both events and
+  server keys to reduce the number of times we send requests to dead servers.
+* Inform remote servers when the local server fails to handle a received event.
+* Turn off python bytecode generation due to problems experienced when
+  upgrading from previous versions.
+
+Changes in synapse v0.7.0 (2015-02-12)
+======================================
+
+* Add initial implementation of the query auth federation API, allowing
+  servers to agree on whether an event should be allowed or rejected.
+* Persist events we have rejected from federation, fixing the bug where
+  servers would keep requesting the same events.
+* Various federation performance improvements, including:
+
+  - Add in memory caches on queries such as:
+
+     * Computing the state of a room at a point in time, used for
+       authorization on federation requests.
+     * Fetching events from the database.
+     * User's room membership, used for authorizing presence updates.
+
+  - Upgraded JSON library to improve parsing and serialisation speeds.
+
+* Add default avatars to new user accounts using pydenticon library.
+* Correctly time out federation requests.
+* Retry federation requests against different servers.
+* Add support for push and push rules.
+* Add alpha versions of proposed new CSv2 APIs, including ``/sync`` API.
+
+Changes in synapse 0.6.1 (2015-01-07)
+=====================================
+
+* Major optimizations to improve performance of initial sync and event sending
+  in large rooms (by up to 10x)
+* Media repository now includes a Content-Length header on media downloads.
+* Improve quality of thumbnails by changing resizing algorithm.
+
+Changes in synapse 0.6.0 (2014-12-16)
+=====================================
+
+* Add new API for media upload and download that supports thumbnailing.
+* Replicate media uploads over multiple homeservers so media is always served
+  to clients from their local homeserver.  This obsoletes the
+  --content-addr parameter and confusion over accessing content directly
+  from remote homeservers.
+* Implement exponential backoff when retrying federation requests when
+  sending to remote homeservers which are offline.
+* Implement typing notifications.
+* Fix bugs where we sent events with invalid signatures due to bugs where
+  we incorrectly persisted events.
+* Improve performance of database queries involving retrieving events.
+
+Changes in synapse 0.5.4a (2014-12-13)
+======================================
+
+* Fix bug while generating the error message when a file path specified in
+  the config doesn't exist.
+
+Changes in synapse 0.5.4 (2014-12-03)
+=====================================
+
+* Fix presence bug where some rooms did not display presence updates for
+  remote users.
+* Do not log SQL timing log lines when started with "-v"
+* Fix potential memory leak.
+
+Changes in synapse 0.5.3c (2014-12-02)
+======================================
+
+* Change the default value for the `content_addr` option to use the HTTP
+  listener, as by default the HTTPS listener will be using a self-signed
+  certificate.
+
+Changes in synapse 0.5.3 (2014-11-27)
+=====================================
+
+* Fix bug that caused joining a remote room to fail if a single event was not
+  signed correctly.
+* Fix bug which caused servers to continuously try and fetch events from other
+  servers.
+
+Changes in synapse 0.5.2 (2014-11-26)
+=====================================
+
+Fix major bug that caused rooms to disappear from peoples initial sync.

+=====================================
+This release includes changes to the federation protocol and client-server API
+that is not backwards compatible.
+
+This release also changes the internal database schemas and so requires servers to

+ * Implement a very basic room initial sync API.
+ * Implement the new invite/join federation APIs.
+
+Webclient:
+ * The webclient has been moved to a seperate repository.
+

+that is not backwards compatible.
+
+The Matrix specification has been moved to a separate git repository:

+ * Fix a regression where we didn't immediately remove rooms you were
+   banned in from the recents list.
+
+Changes in synapse 0.3.0 (2014-09-18)
+=====================================
+See UPGRADE for information about changes to the client server API, including
+breaking backwards compatibility with VoIP calls and registration API.
+
+Homeserver:
+ * When a user changes their displayname or avatar the server will now update 
+   all their join states to reflect this.
+ * The server now adds "age" key to events to indicate how old they are. This
+   is clock independent, so at no point does any server or webclient have to
+   assume their clock is in sync with everyone else.
+ * Fix bug where we didn't correctly pull in missing PDUs.
+ * Fix bug where prev_content key wasn't always returned.
+ * Add support for password resets.
+

+   the view jumped to the bottom of the screen.
+ * Add bing word support.
+
+Registration API:
+ * The registration API has been overhauled to function like the login API. In
+   practice, this means registration requests must now include the following:
+   'type':'m.login.password'. See UPGRADE for more information on this.
+ * The 'user_id' key has been renamed to 'user' to better match the login API.
+ * There is an additional login type: 'm.login.email.identity'.
+ * The command client and web client have been updated to reflect these changes.
+
+Changes in synapse 0.2.3 (2014-09-12)
+=====================================

+Contributing code to Matrix
+===========================
+
+Everyone is welcome to contribute code to Matrix
+(https://github.com/matrix-org), provided that they are willing to license
+their contributions under the same license as the project itself. We follow a
+simple 'inbound=outbound' model for contributions: the act of submitting an
+'inbound' contribution means that the contributor agrees to license the code
+under the same terms as the project's overall 'outbound' license - in our
+case, this is almost always Apache Software License v2 (see LICENSE).
+
+How to contribute
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The preferred and easiest way to contribute changes to Matrix is to fork the
+relevant project on github, and then create a pull request to ask us to pull
+your changes into our repo
+(https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/)
+
+**The single biggest thing you need to know is: please base your changes on
+the develop branch - /not/ master.**
+
+We use the master branch to track the most recent release, so that folks who
+blindly clone the repo and automatically check out master get something that
+works. Develop is the unstable branch where all the development actually
+happens: the workflow is that contributors should fork the develop branch to
+make a 'feature' branch for a particular contribution, and then make a pull
+request to merge this back into the matrix.org 'official' develop branch. We
+use github's pull request workflow to review the contribution, and either ask
+you to make any refinements needed or merge it and make them ourselves. The
+changes will then land on master when we next do a release.
+
+We use Jenkins for continuous integration (http://matrix.org/jenkins), and
+typically all pull requests get automatically tested Jenkins: if your change breaks the build, Jenkins will yell about it in #matrix-dev:matrix.org so please lurk there and keep an eye open.
+
+Code style
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+All Matrix projects have a well-defined code-style - and sometimes we've even
+got as far as documenting it... For instance, synapse's code style doc lives
+at https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/docs/code_style.rst.
+
+Please ensure your changes match the cosmetic style of the existing project,
+and **never** mix cosmetic and functional changes in the same commit, as it
+makes it horribly hard to review otherwise.
+
+Attribution
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Everyone who contributes anything to Matrix is welcome to be listed in the
+AUTHORS.rst file for the project in question. Please feel free to include a
+change to AUTHORS.rst in your pull request to list yourself and a short
+description of the area(s) you've worked on. Also, we sometimes have swag to
+give away to contributors - if you feel that Matrix-branded apparel is missing
+from your life, please mail us your shipping address to matrix at matrix.org and we'll try to fix it :)

+In order to have a concrete record that your contribution is intentional
+and you agree to license it under the same terms as the project's license, we've adopted the
+same lightweight approach that the Linux Kernel
+(https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SubmittingPatches), Docker
+(https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md), and many other
+projects use: the DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin:

+``git commit``, having first set ``user.name`` and ``user.email`` git configs
+(which you should have done anyway :)
+
+Conclusion
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+That's it!  Matrix is a very open and collaborative project as you might expect given our obsession with open communication.  If we're going to successfully matrix together all the fragmented communication technologies out there we are reliant on contributions and collaboration from the community to do so.  So please get involved - and we hope you have as much fun hacking on Matrix as we do!

-Synapse is a Matrix "homeserver" implementation developed by the matrix.org core 
-team, written in Python 3/Twisted.
+Synapse is a reference "homeserver" implementation of Matrix from the core
+development team at matrix.org, written in Python/Twisted for clarity and
+simplicity.  It is intended to showcase the concept of Matrix and let folks see
+the spec in the context of a codebase and let you run your own homeserver and
+generally help bootstrap the ecosystem.
 
 In Matrix, every user runs one or more Matrix clients, which connect through to
-a Matrix homeserver. The homeserver stores all their personal chat history and
-user account information - much as a mail client connects through to an
-IMAP/SMTP server. Just like email, you can either run your own Matrix
-homeserver and control and own your own communications and history or use one
-hosted by someone else (e.g. matrix.org) - there is no single point of control
-or mandatory service provider in Matrix, unlike WhatsApp, Facebook, Hangouts,
-etc.

+
+Synapse ships with two basic demo Matrix clients: webclient (a basic group chat
+web client demo implemented in AngularJS) and cmdclient (a basic Python
+command line utility which lets you easily see what the JSON APIs are up to).

 Synapse Installation
 ====================
 
-.. _federation:
+Synapse is the reference python/twisted Matrix homeserver implementation.
 
-* For details on how to install synapse, see
-  `Installation Instructions <https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/setup/installation.html>`_.
-* For specific details on how to configure Synapse for federation see `docs/federate.md <docs/federate.md>`_
+System requirements:
+- POSIX-compliant system (tested on Linux & OS X)
+- Python 2.7
 
+Synapse is written in python but some of the libraries is uses are written in
+C. So before we can install synapse itself we need a working C compiler and the
+header files for python C extensions.
 
-Connecting to Synapse from a client
-===================================
+Installing prerequisites on Ubuntu or Debian::
 
-The easiest way to try out your new Synapse installation is by connecting to it
-from a web client.
+    $ sudo apt-get install build-essential python2.7-dev libffi-dev \
+                           python-pip python-setuptools sqlite3 \
+                           libssl-dev python-virtualenv libjpeg-dev
+                           
+Installing prerequisites on ArchLinux::
 
-Unless you are running a test instance of Synapse on your local machine, in
-general, you will need to enable TLS support before you can successfully
-connect from a client: see
-`TLS certificates <https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/setup/installation.html#tls-certificates>`_.
+    $ sudo pacman -S base-devel python2 python-pip \
+                     python-setuptools python-virtualenv sqlite3
 
-An easy way to get started is to login or register via Element at
-https://app.element.io/#/login or https://app.element.io/#/register respectively.
-You will need to change the server you are logging into from ``matrix.org``
-and instead specify a Homeserver URL of ``https://<server_name>:8448``
-(or just ``https://<server_name>`` if you are using a reverse proxy).
-If you prefer to use another client, refer to our
-`client breakdown <https://matrix.org/docs/projects/clients-matrix>`_.
+Installing prerequisites on Mac OS X::
 
-If all goes well you should at least be able to log in, create a room, and
-start sending messages.
+    $ xcode-select --install
+    $ sudo pip install virtualenv
+    
+To install the synapse homeserver run::
 
-.. _`client-user-reg`:
+    $ virtualenv ~/.synapse
+    $ source ~/.synapse/bin/activate
+    $ pip install --process-dependency-links https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tarball/master
 
-Registering a new user from a client
-------------------------------------
+This installs synapse, along with the libraries it uses, into a virtual
+environment under ``~/.synapse``.
 
-By default, registration of new users via Matrix clients is disabled. To enable
-it, specify ``enable_registration: true`` in ``homeserver.yaml``. (It is then
-recommended to also set up CAPTCHA - see `<docs/CAPTCHA_SETUP.md>`_.)
+Alternatively, Silvio Fricke has contributed a Dockerfile to automate the
+above in Docker at https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/silviof/docker-matrix/.
 
-Once ``enable_registration`` is set to ``true``, it is possible to register a
-user via a Matrix client.
+To set up your homeserver, run (in your virtualenv, as before)::
 
-Your new user name will be formed partly from the ``server_name``, and partly
-from a localpart you specify when you create the account. Your name will take
-the form of::
+    $ cd ~/.synapse
+    $ python -m synapse.app.homeserver \
+        --server-name machine.my.domain.name \
+        --config-path homeserver.yaml \
+        --generate-config
 
-    @localpart:my.domain.name
+Substituting your host and domain name as appropriate.
 
-(pronounced "at localpart on my dot domain dot name").
+This will generate you a config file that you can then customise, but it will
+also generate a set of keys for you. These keys will allow your Home Server to
+identify itself to other Home Servers, so don't lose or delete them. It would be
+wise to back them up somewhere safe. If, for whatever reason, you do need to
+change your Home Server's keys, you may find that other Home Servers have the
+old key cached. If you update the signing key, you should change the name of the
+key in the <server name>.signing.key file (the second word, which by default is
+, 'auto') to something different.
 
-As when logging in, you will need to specify a "Custom server".  Specify your
-desired ``localpart`` in the 'User name' box.
+By default, registration of new users is disabled. You can either enable
+registration in the config by specifying ``enable_registration: true``
+(it is then recommended to also set up CAPTCHA), or
+you can use the command line to register new users::
 
-Security note
-=============
+    $ source ~/.synapse/bin/activate
+    $ register_new_matrix_user -c homeserver.yaml https://localhost:8448
+    New user localpart: erikj
+    Password:
+    Confirm password:
+    Success!
 
-Matrix serves raw, user-supplied data in some APIs -- specifically the `content
-repository endpoints`_.
+For reliable VoIP calls to be routed via this homeserver, you MUST configure
+a TURN server.  See docs/turn-howto.rst for details.
 
-.. _content repository endpoints: https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/latest.html#get-matrix-media-r0-download-servername-mediaid
+Using PostgreSQL
+================
 
-Whilst we make a reasonable effort to mitigate against XSS attacks (for
-instance, by using `CSP`_), a Matrix homeserver should not be hosted on a
-domain hosting other web applications. This especially applies to sharing
-the domain with Matrix web clients and other sensitive applications like
-webmail. See
-https://developer.github.com/changes/2014-04-25-user-content-security for more
-information.
+As of Synapse 0.9, `PostgreSQL <http://www.postgresql.org>`_ is supported as an
+alternative to the `SQLite <http://sqlite.org/>`_ database that Synapse has
+traditionally used for convenience and simplicity.
 
-.. _CSP: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/1021
+The advantages of Postgres include:
 
-Ideally, the homeserver should not simply be on a different subdomain, but on
-a completely different `registered domain`_ (also known as top-level site or
-eTLD+1). This is because `some attacks`_ are still possible as long as the two
-applications share the same registered domain.
+ * significant performance improvements due to the superior threading and
+   caching model, smarter query optimiser
+ * allowing the DB to be run on separate hardware
+ * allowing basic active/backup high-availability with a "hot spare" synapse
+   pointing at the same DB master, as well as enabling DB replication in
+   synapse itself.
+   
+The only disadvantage is that the code is relatively new as of April 2015 and
+may have a few regressions relative to SQLite.
 
-.. _registered domain: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-rfc6265bis-03#section-2.3
+For information on how to install and use PostgreSQL, please see
+`docs/postgres.rst <docs/postgres.rst>`_.
 
-.. _some attacks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_fixation#Attacks_using_cross-subdomain_cookie
+Running Synapse
+===============
 
-To illustrate this with an example, if your Element Web or other sensitive web
-application is hosted on ``A.example1.com``, you should ideally host Synapse on
-``example2.com``. Some amount of protection is offered by hosting on
-``B.example1.com`` instead, so this is also acceptable in some scenarios.
-However, you should *not* host your Synapse on ``A.example1.com``.
+To actually run your new homeserver, pick a working directory for Synapse to run 
+(e.g. ``~/.synapse``), and::
 
-Note that all of the above refers exclusively to the domain used in Synapse's
-``public_baseurl`` setting. In particular, it has no bearing on the domain
-mentioned in MXIDs hosted on that server.
+    $ cd ~/.synapse
+    $ source ./bin/activate
+    $ synctl start
 
-Following this advice ensures that even if an XSS is found in Synapse, the
-impact to other applications will be minimal.
+Platform Specific Instructions
+==============================
+
+ArchLinux
+---------
+
+The quickest way to get up and running with ArchLinux is probably with Ivan
+Shapovalov's AUR package from
+https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/matrix-synapse/, which should pull in all
+the necessary dependencies.
+
+Alternatively, to install using pip a few changes may be needed as ArchLinux
+defaults to python 3, but synapse currently assumes python 2.7 by default:
+
+pip may be outdated (6.0.7-1 and needs to be upgraded to 6.0.8-1 )::
+
+    $ sudo pip2.7 install --upgrade pip
+    
+You also may need to explicitly specify python 2.7 again during the install
+request::
+
+    $ pip2.7 install --process-dependency-links \
+        https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tarball/master
+    
+If you encounter an error with lib bcrypt causing an Wrong ELF Class:
+ELFCLASS32 (x64 Systems), you may need to reinstall py-bcrypt to correctly
+compile it under the right architecture. (This should not be needed if
+installing under virtualenv)::
+
+    $ sudo pip2.7 uninstall py-bcrypt
+    $ sudo pip2.7 install py-bcrypt
+    
+During setup of Synapse you need to call python2.7 directly again::
+
+    $ cd ~/.synapse
+    $ python2.7 -m synapse.app.homeserver \
+      --server-name machine.my.domain.name \
+      --config-path homeserver.yaml \
+      --generate-config
+        
+...substituting your host and domain name as appropriate.
+
+Windows Install
+---------------
+Synapse can be installed on Cygwin. It requires the following Cygwin packages:
+
+ - gcc
+ - git
+ - libffi-devel
+ - openssl (and openssl-devel, python-openssl)
+ - python
+ - python-setuptools
+
+The content repository requires additional packages and will be unable to process
+uploads without them:
+ - libjpeg8
+ - libjpeg8-devel
+ - zlib
+If you choose to install Synapse without these packages, you will need to reinstall
+``pillow`` for changes to be applied, e.g. ``pip uninstall pillow`` ``pip install
+pillow --user``
+
+Troubleshooting:
+
+- You may need to upgrade ``setuptools`` to get this to work correctly:
+  ``pip install setuptools --upgrade``.
+- You may encounter errors indicating that ``ffi.h`` is missing, even with
+  ``libffi-devel`` installed. If you do, copy the ``.h`` files:
+  ``cp /usr/lib/libffi-3.0.13/include/*.h /usr/include``
+- You may need to install libsodium from source in order to install PyNacl. If
+  you do, you may need to create a symlink to ``libsodium.a`` so ``ld`` can find
+  it: ``ln -s /usr/local/lib/libsodium.a /usr/lib/libsodium.a``
+
+Troubleshooting
+===============
+
+Troubleshooting Installation
+----------------------------
+
+Synapse requires pip 1.7 or later, so if your OS provides too old a version and 
+you get errors about ``error: no such option: --process-dependency-links`` you 
+may need to manually upgrade it::
+
+    $ sudo pip install --upgrade pip
+
+If pip crashes mid-installation for reason (e.g. lost terminal), pip may
+refuse to run until you remove the temporary installation directory it
+created. To reset the installation::
+
+    $ rm -rf /tmp/pip_install_matrix
+
+pip seems to leak *lots* of memory during installation.  For instance, a Linux 
+host with 512MB of RAM may run out of memory whilst installing Twisted.  If this 
+happens, you will have to individually install the dependencies which are 
+failing, e.g.::
+
+    $ pip install twisted
+
+On OSX, if you encounter clang: error: unknown argument: '-mno-fused-madd' you
+will need to export CFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments.
+
+Troubleshooting Running
+-----------------------
+
+If synapse fails with ``missing "sodium.h"`` crypto errors, you may need 
+to manually upgrade PyNaCL, as synapse uses NaCl (http://nacl.cr.yp.to/) for 
+encryption and digital signatures.
+Unfortunately PyNACL currently has a few issues
+(https://github.com/pyca/pynacl/issues/53) and
+(https://github.com/pyca/pynacl/issues/79) that mean it may not install
+correctly, causing all tests to fail with errors about missing "sodium.h". To
+fix try re-installing from PyPI or directly from
+(https://github.com/pyca/pynacl)::
+
+    $ # Install from PyPI
+    $ pip install --user --upgrade --force pynacl
+    $ # Install from github
+    $ pip install --user https://github.com/pyca/pynacl/tarball/master
+
+ArchLinux
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+If running `$ synctl start` fails with 'returned non-zero exit status 1',
+you will need to explicitly call Python2.7 - either running as::
+
+    $ python2.7 -m synapse.app.homeserver --daemonize -c homeserver.yaml --pid-file homeserver.pid
+    
+...or by editing synctl with the correct python executable.
+
+Synapse Development
+===================
+
+To check out a synapse for development, clone the git repo into a working
+directory of your choice::
+
+    $ git clone https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse.git
+    $ cd synapse
+
+Synapse has a number of external dependencies, that are easiest
+to install using pip and a virtualenv::
+
+    $ virtualenv env
+    $ source env/bin/activate
+    $ python synapse/python_dependencies.py | xargs -n1 pip install
+    $ pip install setuptools_trial mock
+
+This will run a process of downloading and installing all the needed
+dependencies into a virtual env.
+
+Once this is done, you may wish to run Synapse's unit tests, to
+check that everything is installed as it should be::
+
+    $ python setup.py test
+
+This should end with a 'PASSED' result::
+
+    Ran 143 tests in 0.601s
+
+    PASSED (successes=143)
 
 
 Upgrading an existing Synapse
 =============================
 
-The instructions for upgrading synapse are in `the upgrade notes`_.
-Please check these instructions as upgrading may require extra steps for some
-versions of synapse.
+IMPORTANT: Before upgrading an existing synapse to a new version, please
+refer to UPGRADE.rst for any additional instructions.
 
-.. _the upgrade notes: https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/upgrade.html
+Otherwise, simply re-install the new codebase over the current one - e.g.
+by ``pip install --process-dependency-links
+https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tarball/master``
+if using pip, or by ``git pull`` if running off a git working copy.
 
-.. _reverse-proxy:
 
-Using a reverse proxy with Synapse
-==================================
+Setting up Federation
+=====================
 
-It is recommended to put a reverse proxy such as
-`nginx <https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html>`_,
-`Apache <https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy_http.html>`_,
-`Caddy <https://caddyserver.com/docs/quick-starts/reverse-proxy>`_,
-`HAProxy <https://www.haproxy.org/>`_ or
-`relayd <https://man.openbsd.org/relayd.8>`_ in front of Synapse. One advantage of
-doing so is that it means that you can expose the default https port (443) to
-Matrix clients without needing to run Synapse with root privileges.
+In order for other homeservers to send messages to your server, it will need to
+be publicly visible on the internet, and they will need to know its host name.
+You have two choices here, which will influence the form of your Matrix user
+IDs:
+
+1) Use the machine's own hostname as available on public DNS in the form of
+   its A or AAAA records. This is easier to set up initially, perhaps for
+   testing, but lacks the flexibility of SRV.
+
+2) Set up a SRV record for your domain name. This requires you create a SRV
+   record in DNS, but gives the flexibility to run the server on your own
+   choice of TCP port, on a machine that might not be the same name as the
+   domain name.
+
+For the first form, simply pass the required hostname (of the machine) as the
+--server-name parameter::
+
+    $ python -m synapse.app.homeserver \
+        --server-name machine.my.domain.name \
+        --config-path homeserver.yaml \
+        --generate-config
+    $ python -m synapse.app.homeserver --config-path homeserver.yaml
+
+Alternatively, you can run ``synctl start`` to guide you through the process.
+
+For the second form, first create your SRV record and publish it in DNS. This
+needs to be named _matrix._tcp.YOURDOMAIN, and point at at least one hostname
+and port where the server is running.  (At the current time synapse does not
+support clustering multiple servers into a single logical homeserver).  The DNS
+record would then look something like::
+
+    $ dig -t srv _matrix._tcp.machine.my.domain.name
+    _matrix._tcp    IN      SRV     10 0 8448 machine.my.domain.name.
+
+
+At this point, you should then run the homeserver with the hostname of this
+SRV record, as that is the name other machines will expect it to have::
+
+    $ python -m synapse.app.homeserver \
+        --server-name YOURDOMAIN \
+        --bind-port 8448 \
+        --config-path homeserver.yaml \
+        --generate-config
+    $ python -m synapse.app.homeserver --config-path homeserver.yaml
+
+
+You may additionally want to pass one or more "-v" options, in order to
+increase the verbosity of logging output; at least for initial testing.
+
+Running a Demo Federation of Synapses
+-------------------------------------
+
+If you want to get up and running quickly with a trio of homeservers in a
+private federation (``localhost:8080``, ``localhost:8081`` and
+``localhost:8082``) which you can then access through the webclient running at
+http://localhost:8080. Simply run::
+
+    $ demo/start.sh
+    
+This is mainly useful just for development purposes.
+
+Running The Demo Web Client
+===========================
+
+The homeserver runs a web client by default at https://localhost:8448/.
+
+If this is the first time you have used the client from that browser (it uses
+HTML5 local storage to remember its config), you will need to log in to your
+account. If you don't yet have an account, because you've just started the
+homeserver for the first time, then you'll need to register one.
+
+
+Registering A New Account
+-------------------------
+
+Your new user name will be formed partly from the hostname your server is
+running as, and partly from a localpart you specify when you create the
+account. Your name will take the form of::
+
+    @localpart:my.domain.here
+         (pronounced "at localpart on my dot domain dot here")
+
+Specify your desired localpart in the topmost box of the "Register for an
+account" form, and click the "Register" button. Hostnames can contain ports if
+required due to lack of SRV records (e.g. @matthew:localhost:8448 on an
+internal synapse sandbox running on localhost).
+
+If registration fails, you may need to enable it in the homeserver (see
+`Synapse Installation`_ above)
+
+
+Logging In To An Existing Account
+---------------------------------
+
+Just enter the ``@localpart:my.domain.here`` Matrix user ID and password into
+the form and click the Login button.
 
-For information on configuring one, see `<docs/reverse_proxy.md>`_.
 
 Identity Servers
 ================
 
-Identity servers have the job of mapping email addresses and other 3rd Party
-IDs (3PIDs) to Matrix user IDs, as well as verifying the ownership of 3PIDs
-before creating that mapping.
+The job of authenticating 3PIDs and tracking which 3PIDs are associated with a
+given Matrix user is very security-sensitive, as there is obvious risk of spam
+if it is too easy to sign up for Matrix accounts or harvest 3PID data.
+Meanwhile the job of publishing the end-to-end encryption public keys for
+Matrix users is also very security-sensitive for similar reasons.
 
-**They are not where accounts or credentials are stored - these live on home
-servers. Identity Servers are just for mapping 3rd party IDs to matrix IDs.**
+Therefore the role of managing trusted identity in the Matrix ecosystem is
+farmed out to a cluster of known trusted ecosystem partners, who run 'Matrix
+Identity Servers' such as ``sydent``, whose role is purely to authenticate and
+track 3PID logins and publish end-user public keys.
 
-This process is very security-sensitive, as there is obvious risk of spam if it
-is too easy to sign up for Matrix accounts or harvest 3PID data. In the longer
-term, we hope to create a decentralised system to manage it (`matrix-doc #712
-<https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/712>`_), but in the meantime,
-the role of managing trusted identity in the Matrix ecosystem is farmed out to
-a cluster of known trusted ecosystem partners, who run 'Matrix Identity
-Servers' such as `Sydent <https://github.com/matrix-org/sydent>`_, whose role
-is purely to authenticate and track 3PID logins and publish end-user public
-keys.
+It's currently early days for identity servers as Matrix is not yet using 3PIDs
+as the primary means of identity and E2E encryption is not complete. As such,
+we are running a single identity server (https://matrix.org) at the current
+time.
 
-You can host your own copy of Sydent, but this will prevent you reaching other
-users in the Matrix ecosystem via their email address, and prevent them finding
-you. We therefore recommend that you use one of the centralised identity servers
-at ``https://matrix.org`` or ``https://vector.im`` for now.
 
-To reiterate: the Identity server will only be used if you choose to associate
-an email address with your account, or send an invite to another user via their
-email address.
+Where's the spec?!
+==================
 
+The source of the matrix spec lives at https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc.  
+A recent HTML snapshot of this lives at http://matrix.org/docs/spec
 
-Password reset
-==============
 
-Users can reset their password through their client. Alternatively, a server admin
-can reset a users password using the `admin API <docs/admin_api/user_admin_api.rst#reset-password>`_
-or by directly editing the database as shown below.
+Building Internal API Documentation
+===================================
 
-First calculate the hash of the new password::
+Before building internal API documentation install sphinx and
+sphinxcontrib-napoleon::
 
-    $ ~/synapse/env/bin/hash_password
-    Password:
-    Confirm password:
-    $2a$12$xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+    $ pip install sphinx
+    $ pip install sphinxcontrib-napoleon
 
-Then update the ``users`` table in the database::
+Building internal API documentation::
 
-    UPDATE users SET password_hash='$2a$12$xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
-        WHERE name='@test:test.com';
+    $ python setup.py build_sphinx
 
-
-Synapse Development
-===================
-
-The best place to get started is our
-`guide for contributors <https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/development/contributing_guide.html>`_.
-This is part of our larger `documentation <https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest>`_, which includes
-information for synapse developers as well as synapse administrators.
-
-Developers might be particularly interested in:
-
-* `Synapse's database schema <https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/development/database_schema.html>`_,
-* `notes on Synapse's implementation details <https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/development/internal_documentation/index.html>`_, and
-* `how we use git <https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/development/git.html>`_.
-
-Alongside all that, join our developer community on Matrix:
-`#synapse-dev:matrix.org <https://matrix.to/#/#synapse-dev:matrix.org>`_, featuring real humans!
-
-
-Quick start
------------
-
-Before setting up a development environment for synapse, make sure you have the
-system dependencies (such as the python header files) installed - see
-`Platform-specific prerequisites <https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/setup/installation.html#platform-specific-prerequisites>`_.
-
-To check out a synapse for development, clone the git repo into a working
-directory of your choice::
-
-    git clone https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse.git
-    cd synapse
-
-Synapse has a number of external dependencies, that are easiest
-to install using pip and a virtualenv::
-
-    python3 -m venv ./env
-    source ./env/bin/activate
-    pip install -e ".[all,dev]"
-
-This will run a process of downloading and installing all the needed
-dependencies into a virtual env. If any dependencies fail to install,
-try installing the failing modules individually::
-
-    pip install -e "module-name"
-
-We recommend using the demo which starts 3 federated instances running on ports `8080` - `8082`
-
-    ./demo/start.sh
-
-(to stop, you can use `./demo/stop.sh`)
-
-If you just want to start a single instance of the app and run it directly::
-
-    # Create the homeserver.yaml config once
-    python -m synapse.app.homeserver \
-      --server-name my.domain.name \
-      --config-path homeserver.yaml \
-      --generate-config \
-      --report-stats=[yes|no]
-
-    # Start the app
-    python -m synapse.app.homeserver --config-path homeserver.yaml
-
-
-Running the unit tests
-----------------------
-
-After getting up and running, you may wish to run Synapse's unit tests to
-check that everything is installed correctly::
-
-    trial tests
-
-This should end with a 'PASSED' result (note that exact numbers will
-differ)::
-
-    Ran 1337 tests in 716.064s
-
-    PASSED (skips=15, successes=1322)
-
-For more tips on running the unit tests, like running a specific test or
-to see the logging output, see the `CONTRIBUTING doc <CONTRIBUTING.md#run-the-unit-tests>`_.
-
-
-Running the Integration Tests
------------------------------
-
-Synapse is accompanied by `SyTest <https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest>`_,
-a Matrix homeserver integration testing suite, which uses HTTP requests to
-access the API as a Matrix client would. It is able to run Synapse directly from
-the source tree, so installation of the server is not required.
-
-Testing with SyTest is recommended for verifying that changes related to the
-Client-Server API are functioning correctly. See the `SyTest installation
-instructions <https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest#installing>`_ for details.
-
-
-Platform dependencies
-=====================
-
-Synapse uses a number of platform dependencies such as Python and PostgreSQL,
-and aims to follow supported upstream versions. See the
-`<docs/deprecation_policy.md>`_ document for more details.
-
-
-Troubleshooting
-===============
-
-Need help? Join our community support room on Matrix:
-`#synapse:matrix.org <https://matrix.to/#/#synapse:matrix.org>`_
-
-Running out of File Handles
----------------------------
-
-If synapse runs out of file handles, it typically fails badly - live-locking
-at 100% CPU, and/or failing to accept new TCP connections (blocking the
-connecting client).  Matrix currently can legitimately use a lot of file handles,
-thanks to busy rooms like #matrix:matrix.org containing hundreds of participating
-servers.  The first time a server talks in a room it will try to connect
-simultaneously to all participating servers, which could exhaust the available
-file descriptors between DNS queries & HTTPS sockets, especially if DNS is slow
-to respond. (We need to improve the routing algorithm used to be better than
-full mesh, but as of March 2019 this hasn't happened yet).
-
-If you hit this failure mode, we recommend increasing the maximum number of
-open file handles to be at least 4096 (assuming a default of 1024 or 256).
-This is typically done by editing ``/etc/security/limits.conf``
-
-Separately, Synapse may leak file handles if inbound HTTP requests get stuck
-during processing - e.g. blocked behind a lock or talking to a remote server etc.
-This is best diagnosed by matching up the 'Received request' and 'Processed request'
-log lines and looking for any 'Processed request' lines which take more than
-a few seconds to execute. Please let us know at #synapse:matrix.org if
-you see this failure mode so we can help debug it, however.
-
-Help!! Synapse is slow and eats all my RAM/CPU!
------------------------------------------------
-
-First, ensure you are running the latest version of Synapse, using Python 3
-with a PostgreSQL database.
-
-Synapse's architecture is quite RAM hungry currently - we deliberately
-cache a lot of recent room data and metadata in RAM in order to speed up
-common requests. We'll improve this in the future, but for now the easiest
-way to either reduce the RAM usage (at the risk of slowing things down)
-is to set the almost-undocumented ``SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR`` environment
-variable. The default is 0.5, which can be decreased to reduce RAM usage
-in memory constrained enviroments, or increased if performance starts to
-degrade.
-
-However, degraded performance due to a low cache factor, common on
-machines with slow disks, often leads to explosions in memory use due
-backlogged requests. In this case, reducing the cache factor will make
-things worse. Instead, try increasing it drastically. 2.0 is a good
-starting value.
-
-Using `libjemalloc <http://jemalloc.net/>`_ can also yield a significant
-improvement in overall memory use, and especially in terms of giving back
-RAM to the OS. To use it, the library must simply be put in the
-LD_PRELOAD environment variable when launching Synapse. On Debian, this
-can be done by installing the ``libjemalloc1`` package and adding this
-line to ``/etc/default/matrix-synapse``::
-
-    LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjemalloc.so.1
-
-This can make a significant difference on Python 2.7 - it's unclear how
-much of an improvement it provides on Python 3.x.
-
-If you're encountering high CPU use by the Synapse process itself, you
-may be affected by a bug with presence tracking that leads to a
-massive excess of outgoing federation requests (see `discussion
-<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/3971>`_). If metrics
-indicate that your server is also issuing far more outgoing federation
-requests than can be accounted for by your users' activity, this is a
-likely cause. The misbehavior can be worked around by setting
-the following in the Synapse config file:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   presence:
-       enabled: false
-
-People can't accept room invitations from me
---------------------------------------------
-
-The typical failure mode here is that you send an invitation to someone
-to join a room or direct chat, but when they go to accept it, they get an
-error (typically along the lines of "Invalid signature"). They might see
-something like the following in their logs::
-
-    2019-09-11 19:32:04,271 - synapse.federation.transport.server - 288 - WARNING - GET-11752 - authenticate_request failed: 401: Invalid signature for server <server> with key ed25519:a_EqML: Unable to verify signature for <server>
-
-This is normally caused by a misconfiguration in your reverse-proxy. See
-`<docs/reverse_proxy.md>`_ and double-check that your settings are correct.

-Upgrading Synapse
-=================
+Upgrading to v0.x.x
+===================
 
-This document has moved to the `Synapse documentation website <https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/upgrade>`_.
-Please update your links.
+Application services have had a breaking API change in this version.
 
-The markdown source is available in `docs/upgrade.md <docs/upgrade.md>`_.
+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.
