+Synapse 1.52.0 (2022-02-08)
+===========================
+
+No significant changes since 1.52.0rc1.
+
+During the making of this release, the developers of Twisted have released
+[Twisted 22.1.0](https://github.com/twisted/twisted/releases/tag/twisted-22.1.0), which
+fixes [a security issue](https://github.com/twisted/twisted/security/advisories/GHSA-92x2-jw7w-xvvx)
+within Twisted. We do not believe Synapse to be vulnerable to any security problem caused
+by this issue, though we advise server administrators to update their local version of
+Twisted if they can.
+

+Synapse 1.51.0 (2022-01-25)
+===========================
+
+No significant changes since 1.51.0rc2.
+
+Synapse 1.51.0 deprecates `webclient` listeners and non-HTTP(S) `web_client_location`s. Support for these will be removed in Synapse 1.53.0, at which point Synapse will not be capable of directly serving a web client for Matrix. See the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/upgrade#upgrading-to-v1510).

+
+- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.40.0 that caused Synapse to fail to process incoming federation traffic after handling a large amount of events in a v1 room. ([\#11806](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11806))
+
+
+Synapse 1.50.2 (2022-01-24)

+
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+

+  received over federation. ([\#11530](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11530))
+- Fix a long-standing bug where Synapse wouldn't cache a response indicating that a remote user has no devices. ([\#11587](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11587))
+- Fix an error that occurs whilst trying to get the federation status of a destination server that was working normally. This admin API was newly introduced in Synapse v1.49.0. ([\#11593](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11593))
+- Fix bundled aggregations not being included in the `/sync` response, per [MSC2675](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2675).

+- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.18.0 where password reset and address validation emails would not be sent if their subject was configured to use the 'app' template variable. Contributed by @br4nnigan. ([\#11710](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11710), [\#11745](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11745))

+
+

+## Delta files
+
+Delta files define the steps required to upgrade the database from an earlier version.
+They can be written as either a file containing a series of SQL statements, or a Python
+module.
+
+Synapse remembers which delta files it has applied to a database (they are stored in the
+`applied_schema_deltas` table) and will not re-apply them (even if a given file is
+subsequently updated).
+
+Delta files should be placed in a directory named `synapse/storage/schema/<database>/delta/<version>/`.
+They are applied in alphanumeric order, so  by convention the first two characters
+of the filename should be an integer such as `01`, to put the file in the right order.
+
+### SQL delta files
+
+These should be named `*.sql`, or —  for changes which should only be applied for a
+given database engine — `*.sql.posgres` or `*.sql.sqlite`. For example, a delta which
+adds a new column to the `foo` table might be called `01add_bar_to_foo.sql`.
+
+Note that our SQL parser is a bit simple - it understands comments (`--` and `/*...*/`),
+but complex statements which require a `;` in the middle of them (such as `CREATE
+TRIGGER`) are beyond it and you'll have to use a Python delta file.
+
+### Python delta files
+
+For more flexibility, a delta file can take the form of a python module. These should
+be named `*.py`. Note that database-engine-specific modules are not supported here –
+instead you can write `if isinstance(database_engine, PostgresEngine)` or similar.
+
+A Python delta module should define either or both of the following functions:
+
+```python
+import synapse.config.homeserver
+import synapse.storage.engines
+import synapse.storage.types
+
+
+def run_create(
+    cur: synapse.storage.types.Cursor,

+### `get_username_for_registration`
+
+_First introduced in Synapse v1.52.0_
+
+```python
+async def get_username_for_registration(
+    uia_results: Dict[str, Any],
+    params: Dict[str, Any],
+) -> Optional[str]
+```
+
+Called when registering a new user. The module can return a username to set for the user
+being registered by returning it as a string, or `None` if it doesn't wish to force a
+username for this user. If a username is returned, it will be used as the local part of a
+user's full Matrix ID (e.g. it's `alice` in `@alice:example.com`).
+
+This callback is called once [User-Interactive Authentication](https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#user-interactive-authentication-api)
+has been completed by the user. It is not called when registering a user via SSO. It is
+passed two dictionaries, which include the information that the user has provided during
+the registration process.
+
+The first dictionary contains the results of the [User-Interactive Authentication](https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#user-interactive-authentication-api)
+flow followed by the user. Its keys are the identifiers of every step involved in the flow,
+associated with either a boolean value indicating whether the step was correctly completed,
+or additional information (e.g. email address, phone number...). A list of most existing
+identifiers can be found in the [Matrix specification](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.1/client-server-api/#authentication-types).
+Here's an example featuring all currently supported keys:
+
+```python
+{
+    "m.login.dummy": True,  # Dummy authentication
+    "m.login.terms": True,  # User has accepted the terms of service for the homeserver
+    "m.login.recaptcha": True,  # User has completed the recaptcha challenge
+    "m.login.email.identity": {  # User has provided and verified an email address
+        "medium": "email",
+        "address": "alice@example.com",
+        "validated_at": 1642701357084,
+    },
+    "m.login.msisdn": {  # User has provided and verified a phone number
+        "medium": "msisdn",
+        "address": "33123456789",
+        "validated_at": 1642701357084,
+    },
+    "org.matrix.msc3231.login.registration_token": "sometoken",  # User has registered through the flow described in MSC3231
+}
+```
+
+The second dictionary contains the parameters provided by the user's client in the request
+to `/_matrix/client/v3/register`. See the [Matrix specification](https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#post_matrixclientv3register)
+for a complete list of these parameters.
+
+If the module cannot, or does not wish to, generate a username for this user, it must
+return `None`.
+
+If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
+callback returns `None`, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first
+callback that does not return `None` will be used. If this happens, Synapse will not call
+any of the subsequent implementations of this callback. If every callback return `None`,
+the username provided by the user is used, if any (otherwise one is automatically
+generated).

+## Reset connection timeout
+

+to that server for a "cooldown" period. This period grows over time if the server
+continues to fail its responses
+([exponential backoff](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_backoff)).
+
+Admins can cancel the cooldown period with this API.

+The connection must have previously run into an error and `retry_last_ts`
+([Destination Details API](#destination-details-api)) must not be equal to `0`.

+The connection attempt is carried out in the background and can take a while
+even if the API already returns the http status 200.

+```
