-# Synapse 1.142.0 (2025-11-11)
-
-## Dropped support for Python 3.9
-
-This release drops support for Python 3.9, in line with our [dependency
-deprecation
-policy](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/deprecation_policy.html#platform-dependencies),
-as it is now [end of life](https://endoflife.date/python).
-
-## SQLite 3.40.0+ is now required
-
-The minimum supported SQLite version has been increased from 3.27.0 to 3.40.0.
-
-If you use current versions of the
-[matrixorg/synapse](setup/installation.html#docker-images-and-ansible-playbooks)
-Docker images, no action is required.
-
-
-## Deprecation of MacOS Python wheels
-
-The team has decided to deprecate and eventually stop publishing python wheels
-for MacOS. This is a burden on the team, and we're not aware of any parties
-that use them. Synapse docker images will continue to work on MacOS, as will
-building Synapse from source (though note this requires a Rust compiler).
-
-At present, publishing MacOS Python wheels will continue for the next release
-(1.143.0), but will not be available after that (1.144.0+). If you do make use
-of these wheels downstream, please reach out to us in
-[#synapse-dev:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#synapse-dev:matrix.org). We'd
-love to hear from you!
-

-
-
-
-
-# Synapse 1.142.0rc3 (2025-11-04)

-# Synapse 1.136.0 (2025-08-12)
-
-Note: This release includes the security fixes from `1.135.2` and `1.136.0rc2`, detailed below.
-
-### Bugfixes
-
-- Fix bug introduced in 1.135.2 and 1.136.0rc2 where the [Make Room Admin API](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/admin_api/rooms.html#make-room-admin-api) would not treat a room v12's creator power level as the highest in room. ([\#18805](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18805))
-
-
-# Synapse 1.135.2 (2025-08-11)
-
-This is the Synapse portion of the [Matrix coordinated security release](https://matrix.org/blog/2025/07/security-predisclosure/). This release includes support for [room version](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.15/rooms/) 12 which fixes a number of security vulnerabilities, including [CVE-2025-49090](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-49090).
-
-The default room version is not changed. Not all clients will support room version 12 immediately, and not all users will be using the latest version of their clients. Large, public rooms are advised to wait a few weeks before upgrading to room version 12 to allow users throughout the Matrix ecosystem to update their clients.
-
-Note: release 1.135.1 was skipped due to issues discovered during the release process.
-
-Two patched Synapse releases are now available:
-
-* `1.135.2`: stable release comprised of `1.135.0` + security patches
-    * Upgrade to this release **if you are currently running 1.135.0 or below**.
-* `1.136.0rc2`: unstable release candidate comprised of `1.136.0rc1` + security patches.
-    * Upgrade to this release **only if you are on 1.136.0rc1**.
-

-# Admin Space Hierarchy Endpoint
-
-This API allows an admin to fetch the space/room hierarchy for a given space, 
-returning details about that room and any children the room may have, paginating
-over the space tree in a depth-first manner to locate child rooms. This is
-functionally similar to the [CS Hierarchy](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.16/client-server-api/#get_matrixclientv1roomsroomidhierarchy) endpoint but does not check for
-room membership when returning room summaries.
-
-The endpoint does not query other servers over federation about remote rooms
-that the server has not joined. This is a deliberate trade-off: while this
-means it will leave some holes in the hierarchy that we could otherwise
-sometimes fill in, it significantly improves the endpoint's response time and
-the admin endpoint is designed for managing rooms local to the homeserver
-anyway.
-
-**Parameters**
-
-The following query parameters are available:
-
-* `from` - An optional pagination token, provided when there are more rooms to 
-    return than the limit. 
-* `limit` - Maximum amount of rooms to return. Must be a non-negative integer,
-   defaults to `50`.
-* `max_depth` - The maximum depth in the tree to explore, must be a non-negative
-   integer. 0 would correspond to just the root room, 1 would include just the
-   root room's children, etc.  If not provided will recurse into the space tree without limit.

 On a similar note, SQLite does not generally have a concept of "supported

-## Application dependencies
-
-For application-level Python dependencies, we often specify loose version constraints
-(ex. `>=X.Y.Z`) to be forwards compatible with any new versions. Upper bounds (`<A.B.C`)
-are only added when necessary to prevent known incompatibilities.
-
-When selecting a minimum version, while we are mindful of the impact on downstream
-package maintainers, our primary focus is on the maintainability and progress of Synapse
-itself.
-
-For developers, a Python dependency version can be considered a "no-brainer" upgrade once it is
-available in both the latest [Debian Stable](https://packages.debian.org/stable/) and
-[Ubuntu LTS](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu) repositories. No need to burden yourself with
-extra scrutiny or consideration at this point.
-
-We aggressively update Rust dependencies. Since these are statically linked and managed
-entirely by `cargo` during build, they *can* pose no ongoing maintenance burden on others.
-This allows us to freely upgrade to leverage the latest ecosystem advancements assuming
-they don't have their own system-level dependencies.

-### Context
-
-Because Python dependencies can easily be managed in a virtual environment, we are less
-concerned about the criteria for selecting minimum versions. The only thing of concern
-is making sure we're not making it unnecessarily difficult for downstream package
-maintainers. Generally, this just means avoiding the bleeding edge for a few months.
-
-The situation for Rust dependencies is fundamentally different. For packagers, the
-concerns around Python dependency versions do not apply. The `cargo` tool handles
-downloading and building all libraries to satisfy dependencies, and these libraries are
-statically linked into the final binary. This means that from a packager's perspective,
-the Rust dependency versions are an internal build detail, not a runtime dependency to
-be managed on the target system. Consequently, we have even greater flexibility to
-upgrade Rust dependencies as needed for the project. Some distros (e.g. Fedora) do
-package Rust libraries, but this appears to be the outlier rather than the norm.

-## Deferred callbacks
-
-When a deferred callback is called, it inherits the current logcontext. The deferred
-callback chain can resume a coroutine, which if following our logcontext rules, will
-restore its own logcontext, then run:
-
- - until it yields control back to the reactor, setting the sentinel logcontext
- - or until it finishes, restoring the logcontext it was started with (calling context)
-
-This behavior creates two specific issues:
-
-**Issue 1:** The first issue is that the callback may have reset the logcontext to the
-sentinel before returning. This means our calling function will continue with the
-sentinel logcontext instead of the logcontext it was started with (bad).
-
-**Issue 2:** The second issue is that the current logcontext that called the deferred
-callback could finish before the callback finishes (bad).
-
-In the following example, the deferred callback is called with the "main" logcontext and
-runs until we yield control back to the reactor in the `await` inside `clock.sleep(0)`.
-Since `clock.sleep(0)` follows our logcontext rules, it sets the logcontext to the
-sentinel before yielding control back to the reactor. Our `main` function continues with
-the sentinel logcontext (first bad thing) instead of the "main" logcontext. Then the
-`with LoggingContext("main")` block exits, finishing the "main" logcontext and yielding
-control back to the reactor again. Finally, later on when `clock.sleep(0)` completes,
-our `with LoggingContext("competing")` block exits, and restores the previous "main"
-logcontext which has already finished, resulting in `WARNING: Re-starting finished log
-context main` and leaking the `main` logcontext into the reactor which will then
-erronously be associated with the next task the reactor picks up.
-
-```python
-async def competing_callback():
-    # Since this is run with the "main" logcontext, when the "competing"
-    # logcontext exits, it will restore the previous "main" logcontext which has
-    # already finished and results in "WARNING: Re-starting finished log context main"
-    # and leaking the `main` logcontext into the reactor.
-    with LoggingContext("competing"):
-        await clock.sleep(0)
-
-def main():
-    with LoggingContext("main"):
-        d = defer.Deferred()
-        d.addCallback(lambda _: defer.ensureDeferred(competing_callback()))
-        # Call the callback within the "main" logcontext.
-        d.callback(None)
-        # Bad: This will be logged against sentinel logcontext
-        logger.debug("ugh")
-
-main()
-```
-
-**Solution 1:** We could of course fix this by following the general rule of "always
-await your awaitables":
-
-```python
-async def main():
-    with LoggingContext("main"):
-        d = defer.Deferred()
-        d.addCallback(lambda _: defer.ensureDeferred(competing_callback()))
-        d.callback(None)
-        # Wait for `d` to finish before continuing so the "main" logcontext is
-        # still active. This works because `d` already follows our logcontext
-        # rules. If not, we would also have to use `make_deferred_yieldable(d)`.
-        await d
-        # Good: This will be logged against the "main" logcontext
-        logger.debug("phew")
-``` 
-
-**Solution 2:** We could also fix this by surrounding the call to `d.callback` with a
-`PreserveLoggingContext`, which will reset the logcontext to the sentinel before calling
-the callback, and restore the "main" logcontext afterwards before continuing the `main`
-function. This solves the problem because when the "competing" logcontext exits, it will
-restore the sentinel logcontext which is never finished by its nature, so there is no
-warning and no leakage into the reactor.
-
-```python
-async def main():
-    with LoggingContext("main"):
-        d = defer.Deferred()
-        d.addCallback(lambda _: defer.ensureDeferred(competing_callback()))
-        d.callback(None)
-        with PreserveLoggingContext():
-            # Call the callback with the sentinel logcontext.
-            d.callback(None)
-        # Good: This will be logged against the "main" logcontext
-        logger.debug("phew")
-```
-
-**Solution 3:** But let's say you *do* want to run (fire-and-forget) the deferred
-callback in the current context without running into issues:
-
-We can solve the first issue by using `run_in_background(...)` to run the callback in
-the current logcontext and it handles the magic behind the scenes of a) restoring the
-calling logcontext before returning to the caller and b) resetting the logcontext to the
-sentinel after the deferred completes and we yield control back to the reactor to avoid
-leaking the logcontext into the reactor.
-
-To solve the second issue, we can extend the lifetime of the "main" logcontext by
-avoiding the `LoggingContext`'s context manager lifetime methods
-(`__enter__`/`__exit__`). We can still set "main" as the current logcontext by using
-`PreserveLoggingContext` and passing in the "main" logcontext.
-
-
-```python
-async def main():
-    main_context = LoggingContext("main")
-    with PreserveLoggingContext(main_context):
-        d = defer.Deferred()
-        d.addCallback(lambda _: defer.ensureDeferred(competing_callback()))
-        # The whole lambda will be run in the "main" logcontext. But we're using
-        # a trick to return the deferred `d` itself so that `run_in_background`
-        # will wait on that to complete and reset the logcontext to the sentinel
-        # when it does to avoid leaking the "main" logcontext into the reactor.
-        run_in_background(lambda: (d.callback(None), d)[1])
-        # Good: This will be logged against the "main" logcontext
-        logger.debug("phew")
-
-...
-
-# Wherever possible, it's best to finish the logcontext by calling `__exit__` at some
-# point. This allows us to catch bugs if we later try to erroneously restart a finished
-# logcontext.
-#
-# Since the "main" logcontext stores the `LoggingContext.previous_context` when it is
-# created, we can wrap this call in `PreserveLoggingContext()` to restore the correct
-# previous logcontext. Our goal is to have the calling context remain unchanged after
-# finishing the "main" logcontext.
-with PreserveLoggingContext():
-    # Finish the "main" logcontext
-    with main_context:
-        # Empty block - We're just trying to call `__exit__` on the "main" context
-        # manager to finish it. We can't call `__exit__` directly as the code expects us
-        # to `__enter__` before calling `__exit__` to `start`/`stop` things
-        # appropriately. And in any case, it's probably best not to call the internal
-        # methods directly.
-        pass
-```
-
-The same thing applies if you have some deferreds stored somewhere which you want to
-callback in the current logcontext.
-
-
-### Deferred errbacks and cancellations
-
-The same care should be taken when calling errbacks on deferreds. An errback and
-callback act the same in this regard (see section above).
-
-```python
-d = defer.Deferred()
-d.addErrback(some_other_function)
-d.errback(failure)

-Additionally, cancellation is the same as directly calling the errback with a

-The arguments passed to this callback are:
-
-* `user_id`: The Matrix user ID of the user (e.g. `@alice:example.com`) making the request.
-
-If the callback returns a list then it will be used as the limits instead of those in the configuration (if any).
-
-If an empty list is returned then no limits are applied (**warning:** users will be able
-to upload as much data as they desire).
-
-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.

-
-This callback will only be called on workers which handle
-[POST /_matrix/media/v3/upload](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.15/client-server-api/#post_matrixmediav3upload)

-
-This could be used to inform the user that they have reached a media upload limit through
-some external method.

-The arguments passed to this callback are:
-
-* `user_id`: The Matrix user ID of the user (e.g. `@alice:example.com`) making the request.
-* `limit`: The `synapse.module_api.MediaUploadLimit` representing the limit that was reached.
-* `sent_bytes`: The number of bytes already sent during the period of the limit.
-* `attempted_bytes`: The number of bytes that the user attempted to send.
