-# 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 -e ".[lint,mypy]"
-
-# 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
-```
-
-You can also provide the `-d` option, which will lint the files that have been
-changed since the last git commit. This will often be significantly faster than
-linting the whole codebase.
-
-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.)
-
-## Documentation
-
-There is a growing amount of documentation located in the [docs](docs)
-directory. This documentation is intended primarily for sysadmins running their
-own Synapse instance, as well as developers interacting externally with
-Synapse. [docs/dev](docs/dev) exists primarily to house documentation for
-Synapse developers. [docs/admin_api](docs/admin_api) houses documentation
-regarding Synapse's Admin API, which is used mostly by sysadmins and external
-service developers.
-
-New files added to both folders should be written in [Github-Flavoured
-Markdown](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/), and attempts
-should be made to migrate existing documents to markdown where possible.
-
-Some documentation also exists in [Synapse's Github
-Wiki](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/wiki), although this is primarily
-contributed to by community authors.
-
-## 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!

+
+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 `CircleCI <https://circleci.com/gh/matrix-org>`_ and `Travis CI
+<https://travis-ci.org/matrix-org/synapse>`_ for continuous integration. All
+pull requests to synapse get automatically tested by Travis and CircleCI.
+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 py27`` (requires tox to be installed by ``pip install tox``) for
+  SQLite-backed Synapse on Python 2.7.
+- ``tox -e py35`` for SQLite-backed Synapse on Python 3.5.
+- ``tox -e py36`` for SQLite-backed Synapse on Python 3.6.
+- ``tox -e py27-postgres`` for PostgreSQL-backed Synapse on Python 2.7
+  (requires a running local PostgreSQL with access to create databases).
+- ``./test_postgresql.sh`` for PostgreSQL-backed Synapse on Python 2.7
+  (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 ``feature``, ``bugfix``, ``removal`` (also used for
+deprecations), or ``misc`` (for internal-only changes).
+
+The content of the file is your changelog entry, which can contain Markdown
+formatting. The entry 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::
+
+  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.)
+
+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 :)

-## Choosing your server name
-
-It is important to choose the name for your server before you install Synapse,
-because it cannot be changed later.
-
-The server name determines the "domain" part of user-ids for users on your
-server: these will all be of the format `@user:my.domain.name`. It also
-determines how other matrix servers will reach yours for federation.
-
-For a test configuration, set this to the hostname of your server. For a more
-production-ready setup, you will probably want to specify your domain
-(`example.com`) rather than a matrix-specific hostname here (in the same way
-that your email address is probably `user@example.com` rather than
-`user@email.example.com`) - but doing so may require more advanced setup: see
-[Setting up Federation](docs/federate.md).

-##### OpenBSD
+#### OpenBSD
 
-A port of Synapse is available under `net/synapse`. The filesystem
-underlying the homeserver directory (defaults to `/var/synapse`) has to be
-mounted with `wxallowed` (cf. `mount(8)`), so creating a separate filesystem
-and mounting it to `/var/synapse` should be taken into consideration.
+Installing prerequisites on OpenBSD:
 
-To be able to build Synapse's dependency on python the `WRKOBJDIR`
-(cf. `bsd.port.mk(5)`) for building python, too, needs to be on a filesystem
-mounted with `wxallowed` (cf. `mount(8)`).
-
-Creating a `WRKOBJDIR` for building python under `/usr/local` (which on a
-default OpenBSD installation is mounted with `wxallowed`):
-
-```sh
-doas mkdir /usr/local/pobj_wxallowed
+```
+doas pkg_add python libffi py-pip py-setuptools sqlite3 py-virtualenv \
+              libxslt jpeg
 ```
 
-Assuming `PORTS_PRIVSEP=Yes` (cf. `bsd.port.mk(5)`) and `SUDO=doas` are
-configured in `/etc/mk.conf`:
+There is currently no port for OpenBSD. Additionally, OpenBSD's security
+settings require a slightly more difficult installation process.
 
-```sh
-doas chown _pbuild:_pbuild /usr/local/pobj_wxallowed
-```
+XXX: I suspect this is out of date.
 
-Setting the `WRKOBJDIR` for building python:
+1. Create a new directory in `/usr/local` called `_synapse`. Also, create a
+   new user called `_synapse` and set that directory as the new user's home.
+   This is required because, by default, OpenBSD only allows binaries which need
+   write and execute permissions on the same memory space to be run from
+   `/usr/local`.
+2. `su` to the new `_synapse` user and change to their home directory.
+3. Create a new virtualenv: `virtualenv -p python2.7 ~/.synapse`
+4. Source the virtualenv configuration located at
+   `/usr/local/_synapse/.synapse/bin/activate`. This is done in `ksh` by
+   using the `.` command, rather than `bash`'s `source`.
+5. Optionally, use `pip` to install `lxml`, which Synapse needs to parse
+   webpages for their titles.
+6. Use `pip` to install this repository: `pip install matrix-synapse`
+7. Optionally, change `_synapse`'s shell to `/bin/false` to reduce the
+   chance of a compromised Synapse server being used to take over your box.
 
-```sh
-echo WRKOBJDIR_lang/python/3.7=/usr/local/pobj_wxallowed  \\nWRKOBJDIR_lang/python/2.7=/usr/local/pobj_wxallowed >> /etc/mk.conf
-```
+After this, you may proceed with the rest of the install directions.
 
-Building Synapse:
-
-```sh
-cd /usr/ports/net/synapse
-make install
-```
-
-##### Windows
+#### Windows
 
 If you wish to run or develop Synapse on Windows, the Windows Subsystem For
 Linux provides a Linux environment on Windows 10 which is capable of using the
 Debian, Fedora, or source installation methods. More information about WSL can
-be found at <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10> for
-Windows 10 and <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-on-server>

 for Windows Server.
 
-### Prebuilt packages
+### Troubleshooting Installation
+
+XXX a bunch of this is no longer relevant.
+
+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
+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
+

 for a number of platforms.

-## Setting up Synapse
+# Setting up Synapse
 
 Once you have installed synapse as above, you will need to configure it.
 
-### Using PostgreSQL
+## TLS certificates
 
-By default Synapse uses [SQLite](https://sqlite.org/) and in doing so trades performance for convenience.
-SQLite is only recommended in Synapse for testing purposes or for servers with
-very light workloads.
+The default configuration exposes a single HTTP port: http://localhost:8008. It
+is suitable for local testing, but for any practical use, you will either need
+to enable a reverse proxy, or configure Synapse to expose an HTTPS port.
 
-Almost all installations should opt to use [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org). Advantages include:

+`homeserver.yaml`, as follows:
 
-For information on how to install and use PostgreSQL in Synapse, please see

-
-### TLS certificates
-
-The default configuration exposes a single HTTP port on the local
-interface: `http://localhost:8008`. It is suitable for local testing,
-but for any practical use, you will need Synapse's APIs to be served
-over HTTPS.
-
-The recommended way to do so is to set up a reverse proxy on port
-`8448`. You can find documentation on doing so in
-[docs/reverse_proxy.md](docs/reverse_proxy.md).
-
-Alternatively, you can configure Synapse to expose an HTTPS port. To do
-so, you will need to edit `homeserver.yaml`, as follows:
-
-- First, under the `listeners` section, uncomment the configuration for the
+* First, under the `listeners` section, uncomment the configuration for the
   TLS-enabled listener. (Remove the hash sign (`#`) at the start of
   each line). The relevant lines are like this:
 
-```yaml
-  - port: 8448
-    type: http
-    tls: true
-    resources:
-      - names: [client, federation]
   ```
-
-- You will also need to uncomment the `tls_certificate_path` and
-  `tls_private_key_path` lines under the `TLS` section. You will need to manage
-  provisioning of these certificates yourself — Synapse had built-in ACME
-  support, but the ACMEv1 protocol Synapse implements is deprecated, not
-  allowed by LetsEncrypt for new sites, and will break for existing sites in
-  late 2020. See [ACME.md](docs/ACME.md).
-
-  If you are using your own certificate, be sure to use a `.pem` file that
-  includes the full certificate chain including any intermediate certificates
-  (for instance, if using certbot, use `fullchain.pem` as your certificate, not

+* You will also need to uncomment the `tls_certificate_path` and
+  `tls_private_key_path` lines under the `TLS` section. You can either
+  point these settings at an existing certificate and key, or you can
+  enable Synapse's built-in ACME (Let's Encrypt) support. Instructions
+  for having Synapse automatically provision and renew federation

-### Client Well-Known URI
+## Registering a user
 
-Setting up the client Well-Known URI is optional but if you set it up, it will
-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
-identity server URLs. This is useful so that users don't have to memorize or think
-about the actual homeserver URL you are using.
+You will need at least one user on your server in order to use a Matrix
+client. Users can be registered either via a Matrix client, or via a
+commandline script.
 
-The URL `https://<server_name>/.well-known/matrix/client` should return JSON in
-the following format.
+To get started, it is easiest to use the command line to register new
+users. This can be done as follows:
 
-```json
-{
-  "m.homeserver": {
-    "base_url": "https://<matrix.example.com>"
-  }
-}
 ```
-
-It can optionally contain identity server information as well.
-
-```json
-{
-  "m.homeserver": {
-    "base_url": "https://<matrix.example.com>"
-  },
-  "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:
-
-```nginx
-location /.well-known/matrix/client {
-    return 200 '{"m.homeserver": {"base_url": "https://<matrix.example.com>"}}';
-    default_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
-connect to your server. This is the same URL you put for the `m.homeserver`
-`base_url` above.
-
-```yaml
-public_baseurl: "https://<matrix.example.com>"
-```
-
-### Email
-
-It is desirable for Synapse to have the capability to send email. This allows
-Synapse to send password reset emails, send verifications when an email address
-is added to a user's account, and send email notifications to users when they
-receive new messages.
-
-To configure an SMTP server for Synapse, modify the configuration section
-headed `email`, and be sure to have at least the `smtp_host`, `smtp_port`
-and `notif_from` fields filled out.  You may also need to set `smtp_user`,
-`smtp_pass`, and `require_transport_security`.
-
-If email is not configured, password reset, registration and notifications via
-email will be disabled.
-
-### Registering a user
-
-The easiest way to create a new user is to do so from a client like [Element](https://element.io/).
-
-Alternatively you can do so from the command line if you have installed via pip.
-
-This can be done as follows:
-
-```sh
 $ source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate
 $ synctl start # if not already running
 $ register_new_matrix_user -c homeserver.yaml http://localhost:8008

+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
-``use_presence: false`` in the Synapse config file.
-
-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.

-    curl http://localhost:8008/_synapse/admin/v1/server_version
-
-Rolling back to older versions
-------------------------------
-
-Rolling back to previous releases can be difficult, due to database schema
-changes between releases. Where we have been able to test the rollback process,
-this will be noted below.
-
-In general, you will need to undo any changes made during the upgrade process,
-for example:
-
-* pip:
-
-  .. code:: bash
-
-     source env/bin/activate
-     # replace `1.3.0` accordingly:
-     pip install matrix-synapse==1.3.0
-
-* Debian:
-
-  .. code:: bash
-
-     # replace `1.3.0` and `stretch` accordingly:
-     wget https://packages.matrix.org/debian/pool/main/m/matrix-synapse-py3/matrix-synapse-py3_1.3.0+stretch1_amd64.deb
-     dpkg -i matrix-synapse-py3_1.3.0+stretch1_amd64.deb
-
-Upgrading to v1.26.0
-====================
-
-Rolling back to v1.25.0 after a failed upgrade
-----------------------------------------------
-
-v1.26.0 includes a lot of large changes. If something problematic occurs, you
-may want to roll-back to a previous version of Synapse. Because v1.26.0 also
-includes a new database schema version, reverting that version is also required
-alongside the generic rollback instructions mentioned above. In short, to roll
-back to v1.25.0 you need to:
-
-1. Stop the server
-2. Decrease the schema version in the database:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      UPDATE schema_version SET version = 58;
-
-3. Delete the ignored users & chain cover data:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ignored_users;
-      UPDATE rooms SET has_auth_chain_index = false;
-
-   For PostgreSQL run:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      TRUNCATE event_auth_chain_links;
-      TRUNCATE event_auth_chains;
-
-   For SQLite run:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      DELETE FROM event_auth_chain_links;
-      DELETE FROM event_auth_chains;
-
-4. Mark the deltas as not run (so they will re-run on upgrade).
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      DELETE FROM applied_schema_deltas WHERE version = 59 AND file = "59/01ignored_user.py";
-      DELETE FROM applied_schema_deltas WHERE version = 59 AND file = "59/06chain_cover_index.sql";
-
-5. Downgrade Synapse by following the instructions for your installation method
-   in the "Rolling back to older versions" section above.
-
-Upgrading to v1.25.0
-====================
-
-Last release supporting Python 3.5
-----------------------------------
-
-This is the last release of Synapse which guarantees support with Python 3.5,
-which passed its upstream End of Life date several months ago.
-
-We will attempt to maintain support through March 2021, but without guarantees.
-
-In the future, Synapse will follow upstream schedules for ending support of
-older versions of Python and PostgreSQL. Please upgrade to at least Python 3.6
-and PostgreSQL 9.6 as soon as possible.
-
-Blacklisting IP ranges
-----------------------
-
-Synapse v1.25.0 includes new settings, ``ip_range_blacklist`` and
-``ip_range_whitelist``, for controlling outgoing requests from Synapse for federation,
-identity servers, push, and for checking key validity for third-party invite events.
-The previous setting, ``federation_ip_range_blacklist``, is deprecated. The new
-``ip_range_blacklist`` defaults to private IP ranges if it is not defined.
-
-If you have never customised ``federation_ip_range_blacklist`` it is recommended
-that you remove that setting.
-
-If you have customised ``federation_ip_range_blacklist`` you should update the
-setting name to ``ip_range_blacklist``.
-
-If you have a custom push server that is reached via private IP space you may
-need to customise ``ip_range_blacklist`` or ``ip_range_whitelist``.
-
-Upgrading to v1.24.0
-====================
-
-Custom OpenID Connect mapping provider breaking change
-------------------------------------------------------
-
-This release allows the OpenID Connect mapping provider to perform normalisation
-of the localpart of the Matrix ID. This allows for the mapping provider to
-specify different algorithms, instead of the [default way](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/appendices#mapping-from-other-character-sets).
-
-If your Synapse configuration uses a custom mapping provider
-(`oidc_config.user_mapping_provider.module` is specified and not equal to
-`synapse.handlers.oidc_handler.JinjaOidcMappingProvider`) then you *must* ensure
-that `map_user_attributes` of the mapping provider performs some normalisation
-of the `localpart` returned. To match previous behaviour you can use the
-`map_username_to_mxid_localpart` function provided by Synapse. An example is
-shown below:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-  from synapse.types import map_username_to_mxid_localpart
-
-  class MyMappingProvider:
-      def map_user_attributes(self, userinfo, token):
-          # ... your custom logic ...
-          sso_user_id = ...
-          localpart = map_username_to_mxid_localpart(sso_user_id)
-
-          return {"localpart": localpart}
-
-Removal historical Synapse Admin API 
-------------------------------------
-
-Historically, the Synapse Admin API has been accessible under:
-
-* ``/_matrix/client/api/v1/admin``
-* ``/_matrix/client/unstable/admin``
-* ``/_matrix/client/r0/admin``
-* ``/_synapse/admin/v1``
-
-The endpoints with ``/_matrix/client/*`` prefixes have been removed as of v1.24.0.
-The Admin API is now only accessible under:
-
-* ``/_synapse/admin/v1``
-
-The only exception is the `/admin/whois` endpoint, which is
-`also available via the client-server API <https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#get-matrix-client-r0-admin-whois-userid>`_.
-
-The deprecation of the old endpoints was announced with Synapse 1.20.0 (released
-on 2020-09-22) and makes it easier for homeserver admins to lock down external
-access to the Admin API endpoints.
-
-Upgrading to v1.23.0
-====================
-
-Structured logging configuration breaking changes
--------------------------------------------------
-
-This release deprecates use of the ``structured: true`` logging configuration for
-structured logging. If your logging configuration contains ``structured: true``
-then it should be modified based on the `structured logging documentation
-<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/structured_logging.md>`_.
-
-The ``structured`` and ``drains`` logging options are now deprecated and should
-be replaced by standard logging configuration of ``handlers`` and ``formatters``.
-
-A future will release of Synapse will make using ``structured: true`` an error.
-
-Upgrading to v1.22.0
-====================
-
-ThirdPartyEventRules breaking changes
--------------------------------------
-
-This release introduces a backwards-incompatible change to modules making use of
-``ThirdPartyEventRules`` in Synapse. If you make use of a module defined under the
-``third_party_event_rules`` config option, please make sure it is updated to handle
-the below change:
-
-The ``http_client`` argument is no longer passed to modules as they are initialised. Instead,
-modules are expected to make use of the ``http_client`` property on the ``ModuleApi`` class.
-Modules are now passed a ``module_api`` argument during initialisation, which is an instance of
-``ModuleApi``. ``ModuleApi`` instances have a ``http_client`` property which acts the same as
-the ``http_client`` argument previously passed to ``ThirdPartyEventRules`` modules.
-
-Upgrading to v1.21.0
-====================
-
-Forwarding ``/_synapse/client`` through your reverse proxy
-----------------------------------------------------------
-
-The `reverse proxy documentation
-<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/reverse_proxy.md>`_ has been updated
-to include reverse proxy directives for ``/_synapse/client/*`` endpoints. As the user password
-reset flow now uses endpoints under this prefix, **you must update your reverse proxy
-configurations for user password reset to work**.
-
-Additionally, note that the `Synapse worker documentation
-<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/workers.md>`_ has been updated to
- state that the ``/_synapse/client/password_reset/email/submit_token`` endpoint can be handled
-by all workers. If you make use of Synapse's worker feature, please update your reverse proxy
-configuration to reflect this change.
-
-New HTML templates
-------------------
-
-A new HTML template,
-`password_reset_confirmation.html <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/synapse/res/templates/password_reset_confirmation.html>`_,
-has been added to the ``synapse/res/templates`` directory. If you are using a
-custom template directory, you may want to copy the template over and modify it.
-
-Note that as of v1.20.0, templates do not need to be included in custom template
-directories for Synapse to start. The default templates will be used if a custom
-template cannot be found.
-
-This page will appear to the user after clicking a password reset link that has
-been emailed to them.
-
-To complete password reset, the page must include a way to make a `POST`
-request to
-``/_synapse/client/password_reset/{medium}/submit_token``
-with the query parameters from the original link, presented as a URL-encoded form. See the file
-itself for more details.
-
-Updated Single Sign-on HTML Templates
--------------------------------------
-
-The ``saml_error.html`` template was removed from Synapse and replaced with the
-``sso_error.html`` template. If your Synapse is configured to use SAML and a
-custom ``sso_redirect_confirm_template_dir`` configuration then any customisations
-of the ``saml_error.html`` template will need to be merged into the ``sso_error.html``
-template. These templates are similar, but the parameters are slightly different:
-
-* The ``msg`` parameter should be renamed to ``error_description``.
-* There is no longer a ``code`` parameter for the response code.
-* A string ``error`` parameter is available that includes a short hint of why a
-  user is seeing the error page.
-
-Upgrading to v1.18.0
-====================
-
-Docker `-py3` suffix will be removed in future versions
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-From 10th August 2020, we will no longer publish Docker images with the `-py3` tag suffix. The images tagged with the `-py3` suffix have been identical to the non-suffixed tags since release 0.99.0, and the suffix is obsolete.
-
-On 10th August, we will remove the `latest-py3` tag. Existing per-release tags (such as `v1.18.0-py3`) will not be removed, but no new `-py3` tags will be added.
-
-Scripts relying on the `-py3` suffix will need to be updated.
-
-Redis replication is now recommended in lieu of TCP replication
----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-When setting up worker processes, we now recommend the use of a Redis server for replication. **The old direct TCP connection method is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.**
-See `docs/workers.md <docs/workers.md>`_ for more details.
-
-Upgrading to v1.14.0
-====================
-
-This version includes a database update which is run as part of the upgrade,
-and which may take a couple of minutes in the case of a large server. Synapse
-will not respond to HTTP requests while this update is taking place.
-
-Upgrading to v1.13.0
-====================
-
-Incorrect database migration in old synapse versions
-----------------------------------------------------
-
-A bug was introduced in Synapse 1.4.0 which could cause the room directory to
-be incomplete or empty if Synapse was upgraded directly from v1.2.1 or
-earlier, to versions between v1.4.0 and v1.12.x.
-
-This will *not* be a problem for Synapse installations which were:
- * created at v1.4.0 or later,
- * upgraded via v1.3.x, or
- * upgraded straight from v1.2.1 or earlier to v1.13.0 or later.
-
-If completeness of the room directory is a concern, installations which are
-affected can be repaired as follows:
-
-1. Run the following sql from a `psql` or `sqlite3` console:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-     INSERT INTO background_updates (update_name, progress_json, depends_on) VALUES
-        ('populate_stats_process_rooms', '{}', 'current_state_events_membership');
-
-     INSERT INTO background_updates (update_name, progress_json, depends_on) VALUES
-        ('populate_stats_process_users', '{}', 'populate_stats_process_rooms');
-
-2. Restart synapse.
-
-New Single Sign-on HTML Templates
----------------------------------
-
-New templates (``sso_auth_confirm.html``, ``sso_auth_success.html``, and
-``sso_account_deactivated.html``) were added to Synapse. If your Synapse is
-configured to use SSO and a custom  ``sso_redirect_confirm_template_dir``
-configuration then these templates will need to be copied from
-`synapse/res/templates <synapse/res/templates>`_ into that directory.
-
-Synapse SSO Plugins Method Deprecation
---------------------------------------
-
-Plugins using the ``complete_sso_login`` method of
-``synapse.module_api.ModuleApi`` should update to using the async/await
-version ``complete_sso_login_async`` which includes additional checks. The
-non-async version is considered deprecated.
-
-Rolling back to v1.12.4 after a failed upgrade
-----------------------------------------------
-
-v1.13.0 includes a lot of large changes. If something problematic occurs, you
-may want to roll-back to a previous version of Synapse. Because v1.13.0 also
-includes a new database schema version, reverting that version is also required
-alongside the generic rollback instructions mentioned above. In short, to roll
-back to v1.12.4 you need to:
-
-1. Stop the server
-2. Decrease the schema version in the database:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      UPDATE schema_version SET version = 57;
-
-3. Downgrade Synapse by following the instructions for your installation method
-   in the "Rolling back to older versions" section above.
-
-
-Upgrading to v1.12.0
-====================
-
-This version includes a database update which is run as part of the upgrade,
-and which may take some time (several hours in the case of a large
-server). Synapse will not respond to HTTP requests while this update is taking
-place.
-
-This is only likely to be a problem in the case of a server which is
-participating in many rooms.
-
-0. As with all upgrades, it is recommended that you have a recent backup of
-   your database which can be used for recovery in the event of any problems.
-
-1. As an initial check to see if you will be affected, you can try running the
-   following query from the `psql` or `sqlite3` console. It is safe to run it
-   while Synapse is still running.
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      SELECT MAX(q.v) FROM (
-        SELECT (
-          SELECT ej.json AS v
-          FROM state_events se INNER JOIN event_json ej USING (event_id)
-          WHERE se.room_id=rooms.room_id AND se.type='m.room.create' AND se.state_key=''
-          LIMIT 1
-        ) FROM rooms WHERE rooms.room_version IS NULL
-      ) q;
-
-   This query will take about the same amount of time as the upgrade process: ie,
-   if it takes 5 minutes, then it is likely that Synapse will be unresponsive for
-   5 minutes during the upgrade.
-
-   If you consider an outage of this duration to be acceptable, no further
-   action is necessary and you can simply start Synapse 1.12.0.
-
-   If you would prefer to reduce the downtime, continue with the steps below.
-
-2. The easiest workaround for this issue is to manually
-   create a new index before upgrading. On PostgreSQL, his can be done as follows:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY tmp_upgrade_1_12_0_index
-      ON state_events(room_id) WHERE type = 'm.room.create';
-
-   The above query may take some time, but is also safe to run while Synapse is
-   running.
-
-   We assume that no SQLite users have databases large enough to be
-   affected. If you *are* affected, you can run a similar query, omitting the
-   ``CONCURRENTLY`` keyword. Note however that this operation may in itself cause
-   Synapse to stop running for some time. Synapse admins are reminded that
-   `SQLite is not recommended for use outside a test
-   environment <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/README.rst#using-postgresql>`_.
-
-3. Once the index has been created, the ``SELECT`` query in step 1 above should
-   complete quickly. It is therefore safe to upgrade to Synapse 1.12.0.
-
-4. Once Synapse 1.12.0 has successfully started and is responding to HTTP
-   requests, the temporary index can be removed:
-
-   .. code:: sql
-
-      DROP INDEX tmp_upgrade_1_12_0_index;
-
-Upgrading to v1.10.0
-====================
-
-Synapse will now log a warning on start up if used with a PostgreSQL database
-that has a non-recommended locale set.
-
-See `docs/postgres.md <docs/postgres.md>`_ for details.
-
-
-Upgrading to v1.8.0
-===================
-
-Specifying a ``log_file`` config option will now cause Synapse to refuse to
-start, and should be replaced by with the ``log_config`` option. Support for
-the ``log_file`` option was removed in v1.3.0 and has since had no effect.
-
-
-Upgrading to v1.7.0
-===================
-
-In an attempt to configure Synapse in a privacy preserving way, the default
-behaviours of ``allow_public_rooms_without_auth`` and
-``allow_public_rooms_over_federation`` have been inverted. This means that by
-default, only authenticated users querying the Client/Server API will be able
-to query the room directory, and relatedly that the server will not share
-room directory information with other servers over federation.
-
-If your installation does not explicitly set these settings one way or the other
-and you want either setting to be ``true`` then it will necessary to update
-your homeserver configuration file accordingly.
-
-For more details on the surrounding context see our `explainer
-<https://matrix.org/blog/2019/11/09/avoiding-unwelcome-visitors-on-private-matrix-servers>`_.
-
-
-Upgrading to v1.5.0
-===================
-
-This release includes a database migration which may take several minutes to
-complete if there are a large number (more than a million or so) of entries in
-the ``devices`` table. This is only likely to a be a problem on very large
-installations.
-
-
-Upgrading to v1.4.0
-===================
-
-New custom templates
---------------------
-
-If you have configured a custom template directory with the
-``email.template_dir`` option, be aware that there are new templates regarding
-registration and threepid management (see below) that must be included.
-
-* ``registration.html`` and ``registration.txt``
-* ``registration_success.html`` and ``registration_failure.html``
-* ``add_threepid.html`` and  ``add_threepid.txt``
-* ``add_threepid_failure.html`` and ``add_threepid_success.html``
-
-Synapse will expect these files to exist inside the configured template
-directory, and **will fail to start** if they are absent.
-To view the default templates, see `synapse/res/templates
-<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/synapse/res/templates>`_.
-
-3pid verification changes
--------------------------
-
-**Note: As of this release, users will be unable to add phone numbers or email
-addresses to their accounts, without changes to the Synapse configuration. This
-includes adding an email address during registration.**
-
-It is possible for a user to associate an email address or phone number
-with their account, for a number of reasons:
-
-* for use when logging in, as an alternative to the user id.
-* in the case of email, as an alternative contact to help with account recovery.
-* in the case of email, to receive notifications of missed messages.
-
-Before an email address or phone number can be added to a user's account,
-or before such an address is used to carry out a password-reset, Synapse must
-confirm the operation with the owner of the email address or phone number.
-It does this by sending an email or text giving the user a link or token to confirm
-receipt. This process is known as '3pid verification'. ('3pid', or 'threepid',
-stands for third-party identifier, and we use it to refer to external
-identifiers such as email addresses and phone numbers.)
-
-Previous versions of Synapse delegated the task of 3pid verification to an
-identity server by default. In most cases this server is ``vector.im`` or
-``matrix.org``.
-
-In Synapse 1.4.0, for security and privacy reasons, the homeserver will no
-longer delegate this task to an identity server by default. Instead,
-the server administrator will need to explicitly decide how they would like the
-verification messages to be sent.
-
-In the medium term, the ``vector.im`` and ``matrix.org`` identity servers will
-disable support for delegated 3pid verification entirely. However, in order to
-ease the transition, they will retain the capability for a limited
-period. Delegated email verification will be disabled on Monday 2nd December
-2019 (giving roughly 2 months notice). Disabling delegated SMS verification
-will follow some time after that once SMS verification support lands in
-Synapse.
-
-Once delegated 3pid verification support has been disabled in the ``vector.im`` and
-``matrix.org`` identity servers, all Synapse versions that depend on those
-instances will be unable to verify email and phone numbers through them. There
-are no imminent plans to remove delegated 3pid verification from Sydent
-generally. (Sydent is the identity server project that backs the ``vector.im`` and
-``matrix.org`` instances).
-
-Email
-~~~~~
-Following upgrade, to continue verifying email (e.g. as part of the
-registration process), admins can either:-
-
-* Configure Synapse to use an email server.
-* Run or choose an identity server which allows delegated email verification
-  and delegate to it.
-
-Configure SMTP in Synapse
-+++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
-To configure an SMTP server for Synapse, modify the configuration section
-headed ``email``, and be sure to have at least the ``smtp_host, smtp_port``
-and ``notif_from`` fields filled out.
-
-You may also need to set ``smtp_user``, ``smtp_pass``, and
-``require_transport_security``.
-
-See the `sample configuration file <docs/sample_config.yaml>`_ for more details
-on these settings.
-
-Delegate email to an identity server
-++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
-Some admins will wish to continue using email verification as part of the
-registration process, but will not immediately have an appropriate SMTP server
-at hand.
-
-To this end, we will continue to support email verification delegation via the
-``vector.im`` and ``matrix.org`` identity servers for two months. Support for
-delegated email verification will be disabled on Monday 2nd December.
-
-The ``account_threepid_delegates`` dictionary defines whether the homeserver
-should delegate an external server (typically an `identity server
-<https://matrix.org/docs/spec/identity_service/r0.2.1>`_) to handle sending
-confirmation messages via email and SMS.
-
-So to delegate email verification, in ``homeserver.yaml``, set
-``account_threepid_delegates.email`` to the base URL of an identity server. For
-example:
-
-.. code:: yaml
-
-   account_threepid_delegates:
-       email: https://example.com     # Delegate email sending to example.com
-
-Note that ``account_threepid_delegates.email`` replaces the deprecated
-``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets``: if
-``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` is set to ``true``, and
-``account_threepid_delegates.email`` is not set, then the first entry in
-``trusted_third_party_id_servers`` will be used as the
-``account_threepid_delegate`` for email. This is to ensure compatibility with
-existing Synapse installs that set up external server handling for these tasks
-before v1.4.0. If ``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` is
-``true`` and no trusted identity server domains are configured, Synapse will
-report an error and refuse to start.
-
-If ``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` is ``false`` or absent
-and no ``email`` delegate is configured in ``account_threepid_delegates``,
-then Synapse will send email verification messages itself, using the configured
-SMTP server (see above).
-that type.
-
-Phone numbers
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Synapse does not support phone-number verification itself, so the only way to
-maintain the ability for users to add phone numbers to their accounts will be
-by continuing to delegate phone number verification to the ``matrix.org`` and
-``vector.im`` identity servers (or another identity server that supports SMS
-sending).
-
-The ``account_threepid_delegates`` dictionary defines whether the homeserver
-should delegate an external server (typically an `identity server
-<https://matrix.org/docs/spec/identity_service/r0.2.1>`_) to handle sending
-confirmation messages via email and SMS.
-
-So to delegate phone number verification, in ``homeserver.yaml``, set
-``account_threepid_delegates.msisdn`` to the base URL of an identity
-server. For example:
-
-.. code:: yaml
-
-   account_threepid_delegates:
-       msisdn: https://example.com     # Delegate sms sending to example.com
-
-The ``matrix.org`` and ``vector.im`` identity servers will continue to support
-delegated phone number verification via SMS until such time as it is possible
-for admins to configure their servers to perform phone number verification
-directly. More details will follow in a future release.
-
-Rolling back to v1.3.1
-----------------------
-
-If you encounter problems with v1.4.0, it should be possible to roll back to
-v1.3.1, subject to the following:
-
-* The 'room statistics' engine was heavily reworked in this release (see
-  `#5971 <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5971>`_), including
-  significant changes to the database schema, which are not easily
-  reverted. This will cause the room statistics engine to stop updating when
-  you downgrade.
-
-  The room statistics are essentially unused in v1.3.1 (in future versions of
-  Synapse, they will be used to populate the room directory), so there should
-  be no loss of functionality. However, the statistics engine will write errors
-  to the logs, which can be avoided by setting the following in
-  `homeserver.yaml`:
-
-  .. code:: yaml
-
-    stats:
-      enabled: false
-
-  Don't forget to re-enable it when you upgrade again, in preparation for its
-  use in the room directory!
-
-Upgrading to v1.2.0
-===================
-
-Some counter metrics have been renamed, with the old names deprecated. See
-`the metrics documentation <docs/metrics-howto.md#renaming-of-metrics--deprecation-of-old-names-in-12>`_
-for details.
-
-Upgrading to v1.1.0
-===================
-
-Synapse v1.1.0 removes support for older Python and PostgreSQL versions, as
-outlined in `our deprecation notice <https://matrix.org/blog/2019/04/08/synapse-deprecating-postgres-9-4-and-python-2-x>`_.
-
-Minimum Python Version
-----------------------
-
-Synapse v1.1.0 has a minimum Python requirement of Python 3.5. Python 3.6 or
-Python 3.7 are recommended as they have improved internal string handling,
-significantly reducing memory usage.
-
-If you use current versions of the Matrix.org-distributed Debian packages or
-Docker images, action is not required.
-
-If you install Synapse in a Python virtual environment, please see "Upgrading to
-v0.34.0" for notes on setting up a new virtualenv under Python 3.
-
-Minimum PostgreSQL Version
---------------------------
-
-If using PostgreSQL under Synapse, you will need to use PostgreSQL 9.5 or above.
-Please see the
-`PostgreSQL documentation <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/upgrading.html>`_
-for more details on upgrading your database.
-
-Upgrading to v1.0
-=================
-
-Validation of TLS certificates
-------------------------------
-
-Synapse v1.0 is the first release to enforce
-validation of TLS certificates for the federation API. It is therefore
-essential that your certificates are correctly configured. See the `FAQ
-<docs/MSC1711_certificates_FAQ.md>`_ for more information.
-
-Note, v1.0 installations will also no longer be able to federate with servers
-that have not correctly configured their certificates.
-
-In rare cases, it may be desirable to disable certificate checking: for
-example, it might be essential to be able to federate with a given legacy
-server in a closed federation. This can be done in one of two ways:-
-
-* Configure the global switch ``federation_verify_certificates`` to ``false``.
-* Configure a whitelist of server domains to trust via ``federation_certificate_verification_whitelist``.
-
-See the `sample configuration file <docs/sample_config.yaml>`_
-for more details on these settings.
-
-Email
------
-When a user requests a password reset, Synapse will send an email to the
-user to confirm the request.
-
-Previous versions of Synapse delegated the job of sending this email to an
-identity server. If the identity server was somehow malicious or became
-compromised, it would be theoretically possible to hijack an account through
-this means.
-
-Therefore, by default, Synapse v1.0 will send the confirmation email itself. If
-Synapse is not configured with an SMTP server, password reset via email will be
-disabled.
-
-To configure an SMTP server for Synapse, modify the configuration section
-headed ``email``, and be sure to have at least the ``smtp_host``, ``smtp_port``
-and ``notif_from`` fields filled out. You may also need to set ``smtp_user``,
-``smtp_pass``, and ``require_transport_security``.
-
-If you are absolutely certain that you wish to continue using an identity
-server for password resets, set ``trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` to ``true``.
-
-See the `sample configuration file <docs/sample_config.yaml>`_
-for more details on these settings.
-
-New email templates
----------------
-Some new templates have been added to the default template directory for the purpose of the
-homeserver sending its own password reset emails. If you have configured a custom
-``template_dir`` in your Synapse config, these files will need to be added.
-
-``password_reset.html`` and ``password_reset.txt`` are HTML and plain text templates
-respectively that contain the contents of what will be emailed to the user upon attempting to
-reset their password via email. ``password_reset_success.html`` and
-``password_reset_failure.html`` are HTML files that the content of which (assuming no redirect
-URL is set) will be shown to the user after they attempt to click the link in the email sent
-to them.
+    # replace <host.name> with the hostname of your synapse homeserver.
+    # You may need to specify a port (eg, :8448) if your server is not
+    # configured on port 443.
+    curl -kv https://<host.name>/_matrix/client/versions 2>&1 | grep "Server:"
