-# Contributing code to Synapse
-
-Everyone is welcome to contribute code to [matrix.org
-projects](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](LICENSE)).
-
-## How to contribute
-
-The preferred and easiest way to contribute changes is to fork the relevant
-project on github, and then [create a pull request](
-https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/) to ask us to pull your
-changes into our repo.
-
-Some other points to follow:
- 
- * Please base your changes on the `develop` branch.
-  
- * Please follow the [code style requirements](#code-style).
-
- * Please include a [changelog entry](#changelog) with each PR.
-
- * Please [sign off](#sign-off) your contribution.
-
- * Please keep an eye on the pull request for feedback from the [continuous
-   integration system](#continuous-integration-and-testing) and try to fix any
-   errors that come up.
-
- * If you need to [update your PR](#updating-your-pull-request), just add new
-   commits to your branch rather than rebasing.
-
-## Code style
-
-Synapse's code style is documented [here](docs/code_style.md). Please follow
-it, including the conventions for the [sample configuration
-file](docs/code_style.md#configuration-file-format).
-
-Many of the conventions are enforced by scripts which are run as part of the
-[continuous integration system](#continuous-integration-and-testing). To help
-check if you have followed the code style, you can run `scripts-dev/lint.sh`
-locally. You'll need python 3.6 or later, and to install a number of tools:
-
-```
-# Install the dependencies
-pip install -U black flake8 flake8-comprehensions isort
-
-# Run the linter script
-./scripts-dev/lint.sh
-```
-
-**Note that the script does not just test/check, but also reformats code, so you
-may wish to ensure any new code is committed first**.
-
-By default, this script checks all files and can take some time; if you alter
-only certain files, you might wish to specify paths as arguments to reduce the
-run-time:
-
-```
-./scripts-dev/lint.sh path/to/file1.py path/to/file2.py path/to/folder
-```
-
-Before pushing new changes, ensure they don't produce linting errors. Commit any
-files that were corrected.
-
-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.
-
-## Changelog
-
-All changes, even minor ones, need a corresponding changelog / newsfragment
-entry. These are managed by [Towncrier](https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier).
-
-To create a changelog entry, make a new file in the `changelog.d` directory named
-in the format of `PRnumber.type`. The type can be one of the following:
-
-* `feature`
-* `bugfix`
-* `docker` (for updates to the Docker image)
-* `doc` (for updates to the documentation)
-* `removal` (also used for deprecations)
-* `misc` (for internal-only changes)
-
-This file will become part of our [changelog](
-https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/CHANGES.md) at the next
-release, so the content of the file should be a short description of your
-change in the same style as the rest of the changelog. The file can contain Markdown
-formatting, and should end with a full stop (.) or an exclamation mark (!) for
-consistency.
-
-Adding credits to the changelog is encouraged, we value your
-contributions and would like to have you shouted out in the release notes!
-
-For example, a fix in PR #1234 would have its changelog entry in
-`changelog.d/1234.bugfix`, and contain content like:
-
-> The security levels of Florbs are now validated when received
-> via the `/federation/florb` endpoint. Contributed by Jane Matrix.
-
-If there are multiple pull requests involved in a single bugfix/feature/etc,
-then the content for each `changelog.d` file should be the same. Towncrier will
-merge the matching files together into a single changelog entry when we come to
-release.
-
-### How do I know what to call the changelog file before I create the PR?
-
-Obviously, you don't know if you should call your newsfile
-`1234.bugfix` or `5678.bugfix` until you create the PR, which leads to a
-chicken-and-egg problem.
-
-There are two options for solving this:
-
- 1. Open the PR without a changelog file, see what number you got, and *then*
-    add the changelog file to your branch (see [Updating your pull
-    request](#updating-your-pull-request)), or:
-
- 1. Look at the [list of all
-    issues/PRs](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=), add one to the
-    highest number you see, and quickly open the PR before somebody else claims
-    your number.
-
-    [This
-    script](https://github.com/richvdh/scripts/blob/master/next_github_number.sh)
-    might be helpful if you find yourself doing this a lot.
-
-Sorry, we know it's a bit fiddly, but it's *really* helpful for us when we come
-to put together a release!
-
-### Debian changelog
-
-Changes which affect the debian packaging files (in `debian`) are an
-exception to the rule that all changes require a `changelog.d` file.
-
-In this case, you will need to add an entry to the debian changelog for the
-next release. For this, run the following command:
-
-```
-dch
-```
-
-This will make up a new version number (if there isn't already an unreleased
-version in flight), and open an editor where you can add a new changelog entry.
-(Our release process will ensure that the version number and maintainer name is
-corrected for the release.)
-
-If your change affects both the debian packaging *and* files outside the debian
-directory, you will need both a regular newsfragment *and* an entry in the
-debian changelog. (Though typically such changes should be submitted as two
-separate pull requests.)
-
-## Sign off
-
-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
-[submitting patches process](
-https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#sign-your-work-the-developer-s-certificate-of-origin>),
-[Docker](https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md), and many other
-projects use: the DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin:
-http://developercertificate.org/). This is a simple declaration that you wrote
-the contribution or otherwise have the right to contribute it to Matrix:
-
-```
-Developer Certificate of Origin
-Version 1.1
-
-Copyright (C) 2004, 2006 The Linux Foundation and its contributors.
-660 York Street, Suite 102,
-San Francisco, CA 94110 USA
-
-Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
-license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
-Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
-
-By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
-
-(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
-    have the right to submit it under the open source license
-    indicated in the file; or
-
-(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
-    of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
-    license and I have the right under that license to submit that
-    work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
-    by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
-    permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
-    in the file; or
-
-(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
-    person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
-    it.
-
-(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
-    are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
-    personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
-    maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
-    this project or the open source license(s) involved.
-```
-
-If you agree to this for your contribution, then all that's needed is to
-include the line in your commit or pull request comment:
-
-```
-Signed-off-by: Your Name <your@email.example.org>
-```
-
-We accept contributions under a legally identifiable name, such as
-your name on government documentation or common-law names (names
-claimed by legitimate usage or repute). Unfortunately, we cannot
-accept anonymous contributions at this time.
-
-Git allows you to add this signoff automatically when using the `-s`
-flag to `git commit`, which uses the name and email set in your
-`user.name` and `user.email` git configs.
-
-## Continuous integration and testing
-
-[Buildkite](https://buildkite.com/matrix-dot-org/synapse) will automatically
-run a series of checks and tests against any PR which is opened against the
-project; if your change breaks the build, this will be shown in GitHub, with
-links to the build results. If your build fails, please try to fix the errors
-and update your branch.
-
-To run unit tests in a local development environment, you can use:
-
-- ``tox -e py35`` (requires tox to be installed by ``pip install tox``)
-  for SQLite-backed Synapse on Python 3.5.
-- ``tox -e py36`` for SQLite-backed Synapse on Python 3.6.
-- ``tox -e py36-postgres`` for PostgreSQL-backed Synapse on Python 3.6
-  (requires a running local PostgreSQL with access to create databases).
-- ``./test_postgresql.sh`` for PostgreSQL-backed Synapse on Python 3.5
-  (requires Docker). Entirely self-contained, recommended if you don't want to
-  set up PostgreSQL yourself.
-
-Docker images are available for running the integration tests (SyTest) locally,
-see the [documentation in the SyTest repo](
-https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest/blob/develop/docker/README.md) for more
-information.
-
-## Updating your pull request
-
-If you decide to make changes to your pull request - perhaps to address issues
-raised in a review, or to fix problems highlighted by [continuous
-integration](#continuous-integration-and-testing) - just add new commits to your
-branch, and push to GitHub. The pull request will automatically be updated.
-
-Please **avoid** rebasing your branch, especially once the PR has been
-reviewed: doing so makes it very difficult for a reviewer to see what has
-changed since a previous review.
-
-## Notes for maintainers on merging PRs etc
-
-There are some notes for those with commit access to the project on how we
-manage git [here](docs/dev/git.md).
-
-## 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!

+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 `Buildkite <https://buildkite.com/matrix-dot-org/synapse>`_ for
+continuous integration.  Buildkite builds need to be authorised by a
+maintainer. If your change breaks the build, this will be shown in GitHub, so
+please keep an eye on the pull request for feedback.
+
+To run unit tests in a local development environment, you can use:
+
+- ``tox -e py35`` (requires tox to be installed by ``pip install tox``)
+  for SQLite-backed Synapse on Python 3.5.
+- ``tox -e py36`` for SQLite-backed Synapse on Python 3.6.
+- ``tox -e py36-postgres`` for PostgreSQL-backed Synapse on Python 3.6
+  (requires a running local PostgreSQL with access to create databases).
+- ``./test_postgresql.sh`` for PostgreSQL-backed Synapse on Python 3.5
+  (requires Docker). Entirely self-contained, recommended if you don't want to
+  set up PostgreSQL yourself.
+
+Docker images are available for running the integration tests (SyTest) locally,
+see the `documentation in the SyTest repo
+<https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest/blob/develop/docker/README.md>`_ for more
+information.
+
+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.
+
+Changelog
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+All changes, even minor ones, need a corresponding changelog / newsfragment
+entry. These are managed by Towncrier
+(https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier).
+
+To create a changelog entry, make a new file in the ``changelog.d`` file named
+in the format of ``PRnumber.type``. The type can be one of the following:
+
+* ``feature``.
+* ``bugfix``.
+* ``docker`` (for updates to the Docker image).
+* ``doc`` (for updates to the documentation).
+* ``removal`` (also used for deprecations).
+* ``misc`` (for internal-only changes).
+
+The content of the file is your changelog entry, which should be a short
+description of your change in the same style as the rest of our `changelog
+<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/CHANGES.md>`_. The file can
+contain Markdown formatting, and should end with a full stop ('.') for
+consistency.
+
+Adding credits to the changelog is encouraged, we value your
+contributions and would like to have you shouted out in the release notes!
+
+For example, a fix in PR #1234 would have its changelog entry in
+``changelog.d/1234.bugfix``, and contain content like "The security levels of
+Florbs are now validated when recieved over federation. Contributed by Jane
+Matrix.".
+
+Debian changelog
+----------------
+
+Changes which affect the debian packaging files (in ``debian``) are an
+exception.
+
+In this case, you will need to add an entry to the debian changelog for the
+next release. For this, run the following command::

+
+This will make up a new version number (if there isn't already an unreleased

+If your change affects both the debian packaging *and* files outside the debian
+directory, you will need both a regular newsfragment *and* an entry in the
+debian changelog. (Though typically such changes should be submitted as two

+
+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

+
+Synapse requires pip 8 or later, so if your OS provides too old a version you
+may need to manually upgrade it::
+
+    sudo pip install --upgrade pip
+
+Installing may fail with `Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pymacaroons-pynacl (from matrix-synapse==0.12.0)`.
+You can fix this by manually upgrading pip and virtualenv::
+
+    sudo pip install --upgrade virtualenv
+
+You can next rerun `virtualenv -p python3 synapse` to update the virtual env.
+
+Installing may fail during installing virtualenv with `InsecurePlatformWarning: A true SSLContext object is not available. This prevents urllib3 from configuring SSL appropriately and may cause certain SSL connections to fail. For more information, see https://urllib3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/security.html#insecureplatformwarning.`
+You can fix this  by manually installing ndg-httpsclient::
+
+    pip install --upgrade ndg-httpsclient
+
+Installing may fail with `mock requires setuptools>=17.1. Aborting installation`.
+You can fix this by upgrading setuptools::
+
+    pip install --upgrade setuptools
+
+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

-allow users to enter their full username (e.g. `@user:<server_name>`) into clients
-which support well-known lookup to automatically configure the homeserver and

-The URL `https://<server_name>/.well-known/matrix/client` should return JSON in
-the following format.

-  },
-  "m.identity_server": {
-    "base_url": "https://<identity.example.com>"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-To work in browser based clients, the file must be served with the appropriate
-Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) headers. A recommended value would be
-`Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` which would allow all browser based clients to
-view it.
-
-In nginx this would be something like:
-```
-location /.well-known/matrix/client {
-    return 200 '{"m.homeserver": {"base_url": "https://<matrix.example.com>"}}';
-    add_header Content-Type application/json;
-    add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
-}
-```
-
-You should also ensure the `public_baseurl` option in `homeserver.yaml` is set
-correctly. `public_baseurl` should be set to the URL that clients will use to

-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

-     dpkg -i matrix-synapse-py3_1.3.0+stretch1_amd64.deb
-
-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.
