Synapse 1.10.0rc3 (2020-02-10)
==============================
Features
--------
- Filter out m.room.aliases from the CS API to mitigate abuse while a better solution is specced. ([\#6878](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6878))
Internal Changes
----------------
- Fix continuous integration failures with old versions of `pip`, which were introduced by a release of the `zipp` library. ([\#6880](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6880))
We're in the middle of properly mitigating spam caused by malicious aliases being added to a room. However, until this work fully lands, we temporarily filter out all m.room.aliases events from /sync and /messages on the CS API, to remove abusive aliases. This is considered acceptable as m.room.aliases events were never a reliable record of the given alias->id mapping and were purely informational, and in their current state do more harm than good.
A lot of the things we log at INFO are now a bit superfluous, so lets
make them DEBUG logs to reduce the amount we log by default.

We were looking at the wrong event type (`m.room.encryption` vs
`m.room.encrypted`).
Also fixup the duplicate `EvenTypes` entries.
Introduced in #6776.
I messed this up a bit in #6805, but fortunately we weren't actually doing
anything with the room_version so it didn't matter that it was a str not a RoomVersion.
When a server leaves a room it may stop sharing a room with remote
users, and thus not get any updates to their device lists. So we need to
check for this case and delete those device lists from the cache.
We don't need to do this if we stop sharing a room because the remote
user leaves the room, because we track that case via looking at
membership changes.
If we detect that the remote users' keys may have changed then we should
attempt to resync against the remote server rather than using the
(potentially) stale local cache.
We were sending device updates down both the federation stream and
device streams. This mean there was a race if the federation sender
worker processed the federation stream first, as when the sender checked
if there were new device updates the slaved ID generator hadn't been
updated with the new stream IDs and so returned nothing.
This situation is correctly handled by events/receipts/etc by not
sending updates down the federation stream and instead having the
federation sender worker listen on the other streams and poke the
transaction queues as appropriate.
Otherwise its just stale data, which may get deleted later anyway so
can't be relied on. It's also a bit of a shotgun if we're trying to get
the current state of a room we're not in.
These are easier to work with than the strings and we normally have one around.
This fixes `FederationHander._persist_auth_tree` which was passing a
RoomVersion object into event_auth.check instead of a string.
* Add note that user_dir requires disabling user dir
updates from the main synapse process.
* Add note that federation_reader should have
the federation listener resource.

There are quite a few places that we assume that a redaction event has a
corresponding `redacts` key, which is not always the case. So lets
cheekily make it so that event.redacts just returns None instead.
The old statement returned `None` for such a `password_config` (like the one
created on first run), thus retrieval of the `pepper` key failed with
`AttributeError`.

Turns out that figuring out a remote user id for the SAML user isn't quite as obvious as it seems. Factor it out to the SamlMappingProvider so that it's easy to control.
Generally try to make this more comprehensible, and make it match the
conventions.

useful.

When figuring out which topological token to start a purge job at, we
need to do the following:
1. Figure out a timestamp before which events will be purged
2. Select the first stream ordering after that timestamp
3. Select info about the first event after that stream ordering
4. Build a topological token from that info
In some situations (e.g. quiet rooms with a short max_lifetime), there
might not be an event after the stream ordering at step 3, therefore we
abort the purge with the error `No event found`. To mitigate that, this
patch fetches the first event _before_ the stream ordering, instead of
after.
Currently we rely on `current_state_events` to figure out what rooms a
user was in and their last membership event in there. However, if the
server leaves the room then the table may be cleaned up and that
information is lost. So lets add a table that separately holds that
information.
AdditionalResource really doesn't add any value, and it gets in the way for
resources which want to support child resources or the like. So, if the
resource object already implements the IResource interface, don't bother
wrapping it.
Add some useful things, such as error types and logcontext handling, to the
API.
Make `hs` a private member to dissuade people from using it (hopefully
they aren't already).
Add a couple of new methods (`record_user_external_id` and
`generate_short_term_login_token`).
This was ill-advised. We can't modify verify_keys here, because the response
object has already been signed by the requested key.
Furthermore, it's somewhat unnecessary because existing versions of Synapse
(which get upset that the notary key isn't present in verify_keys) will fall
back to a direct fetch via `/key/v2/server`.
Also: more tests for fetching keys via perspectives: it would be nice if we actually tested when our fetcher can't talk to our notary impl.
The mount in the form of ./matrix-config:/etc overwrites the contents of the container /etc folder. Since all valid ca certificates are stored in /etc, the synapse.push.httppusher, for example, cannot validate the certificate from matrix.org.
* Kill off redundant SynapseRequestFactory
We already get the Site via the Channel, so there's no need for a dedicated
RequestFactory: we can just use the right constructor.
* Workaround for error when fetching notary's own key
As a notary server, when we return our own keys, include all of our signing
keys in verify_keys.
This is a workaround for #6596.
Synapse 1.7.2 (2019-12-20)
==========================
This release fixes some regressions introduced in Synapse 1.7.0 and 1.7.1.
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix a regression introduced in Synapse 1.7.1 which caused errors when attempting to backfill rooms over federation. ([\#6576](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6576))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.7.0 which caused an error on startup when upgrading from versions before 1.3.0. ([\#6578](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6578))
If acme was enabled, the sdnotify startup hook would never be run because we
would try to add it to a hook which had already fired.
There's no need to delay it: we can sdnotify as soon as we've started the
listeners.
* Remove redundant python2 support code
`str.decode()` doesn't exist on python3, so presumably this code was doing
nothing
* Filter out pushers with corrupt data
When we get a row with unparsable json, drop the row, rather than returning a
row with null `data`, which will then cause an explosion later on.
* Improve logging when we can't start a pusher
Log the ID to help us understand the problem
* Make email pusher setup more robust
We know we'll have a `data` member, since that comes from the database. What we
*don't* know is if that is a dict, and if that has a `brand` member, and if
that member is a string.
Previously we tried to be clever and filter out some unnecessary event
IDs to keep the auth chain small, but that had some annoying
interactions with state res v2 so we stop doing that for now.

This fixes a weird bug where, if you were determined enough, you could end up with a rejected event forming part of the state at a backwards-extremity. Authing that backwards extrem would then lead to us trying to pull the rejected event from the db (with allow_rejected=False), which would fail with a 404.
When we request the state/auth_events to populate a backwards extremity (on
backfill or in the case of missing events in a transaction push), we should
check that the returned events are in the right room rather than blindly using
them in the room state or auth chain.
Given that _get_events_from_store_or_dest takes a room_id, it seems clear that
it should be sanity-checking the room_id of the requested events, so let's do
it there.
Make it return the state *after* the requested event, rather than the one
before it. This is a bit easier and requires fewer calls to
get_events_from_store_or_dest.

Authing that backwards extrem would then lead to us trying to pull the rejected event from the db (with allow_rejected=False), which would fail with a 404.
Sometimes the filtering function can return a pruned version of an event (on top of either the event itself or an empty list), if it thinks the user should be able to see that there's an event there but not the content of that event. Therefore, the previous logic of 'if filtered is empty then we can use the event we retrieved from the database' is flawed, and we should use the event returned by the filtering function.

PaginationHandler.get_messages is only called by RoomMessageListRestServlet,
which is async.
Chase the code path down from there:
- FederationHandler.maybe_backfill (and nested try_backfill)
- FederationHandler.backfill
`Measure` incorrectly assumed that it was the only thing being done by the parent `LoggingContext`. For instance, during a "renew group attestations" operation, hundreds of `outbound_request` calls could take place in parallel, all using the same `LoggingContext`. This would mean that any resources used during *any* of those calls would be reported against *all* of them, producing wildly inaccurate results.
Instead, we now give each `Measure` block its own `LoggingContext` (using the parent `LoggingContext` mechanism to ensure that the log lines look correct and that the metrics are ultimately propogated to the top level for reporting against requests/backgrond tasks).
have_events was a map from event_id to rejection reason (or None) for events
which are in our local database. It was used as filter on the list of
event_ids being passed into get_events_as_list. However, since
get_events_as_list will ignore any event_ids that are unknown or rejected, we
can equivalently just leave it to get_events_as_list to do the filtering.
That means that we don't have to keep `have_events` up-to-date, and can use
`have_seen_events` instead of `get_seen_events_with_rejection` in the one place
we do need it.
Implement part [MSC2228](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2228). The parts that differ are:
* the feature is hidden behind a configuration flag (`enable_ephemeral_messages`)
* self-destruction doesn't happen for state events
* only implement support for the `m.self_destruct_after` field (not the `m.self_destruct` one)
* doesn't send synthetic redactions to clients because for this specific case we consider the clients to be able to destroy an event themselves, instead we just censor it (by pruning its JSON) in the database
Purge jobs don't delete the latest event in a room in order to keep the forward extremity and not break the room. On the other hand, get_state_events, when given an at_token argument calls filter_events_for_client to know if the user can see the event that matches that (sync) token. That function uses the retention policies of the events it's given to filter out those that are too old from a client's view.
Some clients, such as Riot, when loading a room, request the list of members for the latest sync token it knows about, and get confused to the point of refusing to send any message if the server tells it that it can't get that information. This can happen very easily with the message retention feature turned on and a room with low activity so that the last event sent becomes too old according to the room's retention policy.
An easy and clean fix for that issue is to discard the room's retention policies when retrieving state.
Synapse 1.6.0rc2 (2019-11-25)
=============================
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix a bug which could cause the background database update hander for event labels to get stuck in a loop raising exceptions. ([\#6407](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6407))
Doing a SELECT DISTINCT when paginating is quite expensive, because it requires the engine to do sorting on the entire events table. However, we only need to run it if we're filtering on 2+ labels, so this PR is changing the request so that DISTINCT is only used then.
We were doing this in a number of places which meant that some login
code paths incremented the counter multiple times.
It was also applying ratelimiting to UIA endpoints, which was probably
not intentional.
In particular, some custom auth modules were calling
`check_user_exists`, which incremented the counters, meaning that people
would fail to login sometimes.
Fixes a bug where rejected events were persisted with the wrong state group.
Also fixes an occasional internal-server-error when receiving events over
federation which are rejected and (possibly because they are
backwards-extremities) have no prev_group.
Fixes#6289.
* Raise an exception if accessing state for rejected events
Add some sanity checks on accessing state_group etc for
rejected events.
* Skip calculating push actions for rejected events
It didn't actually cause any bugs, because rejected events get filtered out at
various later points, but there's not point in trying to calculate the push
actions for a rejected event.
When the `/keys/query` API is hit on client_reader worker Synapse may
decide that it needs to resync some remote deivces. Usually this happens
on master, and then gets cached. However, that fails on workers and so
it falls back to fetching devices from remotes directly, which may in
turn fail if the remote is down.
While the current version of the spec doesn't say much about how this endpoint uses filters (see https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/2338), the current implementation is that some fields of an EventFilter apply (the ones that are used when running the SQL query) and others don't (the ones that are used by the filter itself) because we don't call event_filter.filter(...). This seems counter-intuitive and probably not what we want so this commit fixes it.
The intention here is to make it clearer which fields we can expect to be
populated when: notably, that the _event_type etc aren't used for the
synchronous impl of EventContext.

* Don't use a virtualenv
* Generate the server's signing key to allow it to start
* Add signing key paths to CI configuration files
* Use a Python script to create the postgresql database
* Improve logging
This adds:
* a test sqlite database
* a configuration file for the sqlite database
* a configuration file for a postgresql database (using the credentials in `.buildkite/docker-compose.pyXX.pgXX.yaml`)
as well as a new script named `.buildkite/scripts/test_synapse_port_db.sh` that:
1. installs Synapse
2. updates the test sqlite database to the latest schema and runs background updates on it
3. creates an empty postgresql database
4. run the `synapse_port_db` script to migrate the test sqlite database to the empty postgresql database (with coverage)
Step `2` is done via a new script located at `scripts-dev/update_database`.
The test sqlite database is extracted from a SyTest run, so that it can be considered as an actual homeserver's database with actual data in it.
Make `synapse_port_db` correctly create indexes in the PostgreSQL database, by having it run the background updates on the database before migrating the data.
To ensure we're migrating the right data, also block the port if the SQLite3 database still has pending or ongoing background updates.
Fixes#4877
The synapse demo was a bit flakey in terms of supporting federation. It turns out that if your computer resolved `localhost` to `::1` instead of `127.0.0.1`, the built-in federation blacklist specified in `start.sh` would still block it, since it contained an entry for `::/127`. Removing this no longer prevents Synapse from contacting `::1`, federation works again on these boxes.
* Delete format_tap.py
This python implementation of a tap formatting library for buildkite has been
replaced with a perl implementation as part of the matrix-org/sytest repo,
which is specific to sytest's language, not that of any one homeserver's.
Turns out that loggers that are instantiated before the config is loaded get
turned off.
Also bring the logging config that is generated by --generate-config into line.
Fixes#6194.
Synapse 1.4.1 (2019-10-18)

No changes since 1.4.1rc1.
Synapse 1.4.1rc1 (2019-10-17)

This fixed the weirdness of 400 vs 404 as http status code in the case
the filter id is not known by the server.
As e.g. matrix-js-sdk expects 404 to catch this situation this leads
to unwanted behaviour.
Hopefully this will fix the occasional failures we were seeing in the room directory.
The problem was that events are not necessarily persisted (and `current_state_delta_stream` updated) in the same order as their stream_id. So for instance current_state_delta 9 might be persisted *before* current_state_delta 8. Then, when the room stats saw stream_id 9, it assumed it had done everything up to 9, and never came back to do stream_id 8.
We can solve this easily by only processing up to the stream_id where we know all events have been persisted.
It turns out that _local_membership_update doesn't run when you join a new, remote room. It only runs if you're joining a room that your server already knows about. This would explain #4703 and #5295 and why the transfer would work in testing and some rooms, but not others. This would especially hit single-user homeservers.
The check has been moved to right after the room has been joined, and works much more reliably. (Though it may still be a bit awkward of a place).
More often than not passing bytes to `txn.execute` is a bug (where we
meant to pass a string) that just happens to work if `BYTEA_OUTPUT` is
set to `ESCAPE`. However, this is a bit of a footgun so we want to
instead error when this happens, and force using `bytearray` if we
actually want to use bytes.
* Fix /federation/v1/state for recent room versions
Turns out this endpoint was completely broken for v3 rooms. Hopefully this
re-signing code is irrelevant nowadays anyway.
Pillow will use nearest neighbour as the resampling algorithm if the
source image is either 1-bit or a color palette using 8 bits. If we
convert to RGB before scaling, we'll probably get a better result.
Replace `client_secret` query parameter values with `<redacted>` in the logs. Prevents a scenario where a MITM of server traffic can horde 3pids on their account.
We incorrectly used `room_id` as to bound the result set, even though we
order by `joined_members, room_id`, leading to incorrect results after
pagination.
Copy push rules during a room upgrade from the old room to the new room, instead of deleting them from the old room.
For instance, we've defined upgrading of a room multiple times to be possible, and push rules won't be transferred on the second upgrade if they're deleted during the first.
Also fix some missing yields that probably broke things quite a bit.
While this is not documented in the spec (but should be), Riot (and other clients) revoke 3PID invites by sending a m.room.third_party_invite event with an empty ({}) content to the room's state.
When the invited 3PID gets associated with a MXID, the identity server (which doesn't know about revocations) sends down to the MXID's homeserver all of the undelivered invites it has for this 3PID. The homeserver then tries to talk to the inviting homeserver in order to exchange these invite for m.room.member events.
When one of the invite is revoked, the inviting homeserver responds with a 500 error because it tries to extract a 'display_name' property from the content, which is empty. This might cause the invited server to consider that the server is down and not try to exchange other, valid invites (or at least delay it).
This fix handles the case of revoked invites by avoiding trying to fetch a 'display_name' from the original invite's content, and letting the m.room.member event fail the auth rules (because, since the original invite's content is empty, it doesn't have public keys), which results in sending a 403 with the correct error message to the invited server.
We have set the max retry interval to a value larger than a postgres or
sqlite int can hold, which caused exceptions when updating the
destinations table.
To fix postgres we need to change the column to a bigint, and for sqlite
we lower the max interval to 2**62 (which is still incredibly long).
Joining against `events` and ordering by `stream_ordering` is
inefficient as it forced scanning the entirety of the redactions table.
This isn't the case if we use `redactions.received_ts` column as we can
then use an index.
Currently we don't set `have_censored` column if we don't have the
target event of a redaction, which means we repeatedly attempt to censor
the same non-existant event.
When we persist non-redacted events we unset the `have_censored` column
for any redactions that target said event.
Doing a password reset via SMS has never worked, and in any case is a silly
idea because msisdn recycling is a thing.
See also matrix-org/matrix-doc#2303.
Pull the checkers out to their own classes, rather than having them lost in a
massive 1000-line class which does everything.
This is also preparation for some more intelligent advertising of flows, as per #6100
We don't actually care about what happens in `get_user_by_req` and
having it as a separate span means that the entity tag isn't added to
the servlet spans, making it harder to search.
because, frankly, it looked like it was written by an axe-murderer.
This should be a non-functional change, except that where `m.login.dummy` was
previously advertised *before* `m.login.terms`, it will now be advertised
afterwards. AFAICT that should have no effect, and will be more consistent with
the flows that involve passing a 3pid.
Second part of solving #6076Fixes#6076
We return a submit_url parameter on calls to POST */msisdn/requestToken so that clients know where to submit token information to.
Uses a SimpleHttpClient instance equipped with the federation_ip_range_blacklist list for requests to identity servers provided by user input. Does not use a blacklist when contacting identity servers specified by account_threepid_delegates. The homeserver trusts the latter and we don't want to prevent homeserver admins from specifying delegates that are on internal IP addresses.
Fixes#5935
As MSC2263 states, m.require_identity_server must be set to false when it does not require an identity server to be provided by the client for the purposes of email registration or password reset.
Adds an m.require_identity_server flag to /versionss unstable_flags section. This will advertise that Synapse no longer needs id_server as a parameter.
This is a) simpler than querying user_ips directly and b) means we can
purge older entries from user_ips without losing the required info.
The storage functions now no longer return the access_token, since it
was unused.
Implements MSC2290. This PR adds two new endpoints, /unstable/account/3pid/add and /unstable/account/3pid/bind. Depending on the progress of that MSC the unstable prefix may go away.
This PR also removes the blacklist on some 3PID tests which occurs in #6042, as the corresponding Sytest PR changes them to use the new endpoints.
Finally, it also modifies the account deactivation code such that it doesn't just try to deactivate 3PIDs that were bound to the user's account, but any 3PIDs that were bound through the homeserver on that user's account.
Fixes#6066
This register endpoint should be disabled if registration is disabled, otherwise we're giving anyone the ability to check if a username exists on a server when we don't need to be.
Error code is 403 (Forbidden) as that's the same returned by /register when registration is disabled.
In ancient times Synapse would only send emails when it was notifying a user about a message they received...
Now it can do all sorts of neat things!
Change the logging so it's not just about notifications.
Remove trailing slash ability from the password reset submit_token endpoint. Since we provide the link in an email, and have never sent it with a trailing slash, there's no point for us to accept them on the endpoint.
The validation links sent via email had their query parameters inserted without any URL-encoding. Surprisingly this didn't seem to cause any issues, but if a user were to put a `/` in their client_secret it could lead to problems.

Attempting to imply that you don't need to change this default
unless you're in worker mode.
Also aware that there's a bigger problem of attempting to document
a complete working configuration of workers using docker, as we
currently only document to use `synctl` for worker mode, and synctl
doesn't work that way in docker.
Fixes a bug where the default attribute maps were prioritised over
user-specified ones, resulting in incorrect mappings.
The problem is that if you call SPConfig.load() multiple times, it adds new
attribute mappers to a list. So by calling it with the default config first,
and then the user-specified config, we would always get the default mappers
before the user-specified mappers.
To solve this, let's merge the config dicts first, and then pass them to
SPConfig.
* make it clear that if you installed from a package manager, you should use
that to upgrade
* Document the new way of getting the server version (cf #4878)
* Write some words about downgrading.
This is a partial revert of #5893. The problem is that if we drop these tables
in the same release as removing the code that writes to them, it prevents users
users from being able to roll back to a previous release.
So let's leave the tables in place for now, and remember to drop them in a
subsequent release.
(Note that these tables haven't been *read* for *years*, so any missing rows
resulting from a temporary upgrade to vNext won't cause a problem.)
Removes the POST method from `/password_reset/<medium>/submit_token/` as it's only used by phone number verification which Synapse does not support yet.
3PID invites require making a request to an identity server to check that the invited 3PID has an Matrix ID linked, and if so, what it is.
These requests are being made on behalf of a user. The user will supply an identity server and an access token for that identity server. The homeserver will then forward this request with the access token (using an `Authorization` header) and, if the given identity server doesn't support v2 endpoints, will fall back to v1 (which doesn't require any access tokens).
Requires: ~~#5976~~
Broke in #5971
Basically the bug is that if get_current_state_deltas returns no new updates and we then take the max pos, its possible that we miss an update that happens in between the two calls. (e.g. get_current_state_deltas looks up to stream pos 5, then an event persists and so getting the max stream pos returns 6, meaning that next time we check for things with a stream pos bigger than 6)
We want to assign unique mxids to saml users based on an incrementing
suffix. For that to work, we need to record the allocated mxid in a separate
table.
This allows support users to be created even on MAU limits via
the admin API. Support users are excluded from MAU after creation,
so it makes sense to exclude them in creation - except if the
whole host is in disabled state.

Some small fixes to `room_member.py` found while doing other PRs.
1. Add requester to the base `_remote_reject_invite` method.
2. `send_membership_event`'s docstring was out of date and took in a `remote_room_hosts` arg that was not used and no calling function provided.
Another small fixup noticed during work on a larger PR. The `origin` field of `add_display_name_to_third_party_invite` is not used and likely was just carried over from the `on_PUT` method of `FederationThirdPartyInviteExchangeServlet` which, like all other servlets, provides an `origin` argument.
Since it's not used anywhere in the handler function though, we should remove it from the function arguments.
Previously if the first registered user was a "support" or "bot" user,
when the first real user registers, the auto-join rooms were not
created.
Fix to exclude non-real (ie users with a special user type) users
when counting how many users there are to determine whether we should
auto-create a room.

This is a combination of a few different PRs, finally all being merged into `develop`:
* #5875
* #5876
* #5868 (This one added the `/versions` flag but the flag itself was actually [backed out](891afb57cb (diff-e591d42d30690ffb79f63bb726200891)) in #5969. What's left is just giving /versions access to the config file, which could be useful in the future)
* #5835
* #5969
* #5940
Clients should not actually use the new registration functionality until https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5972 is merged.
UPGRADE.rst, changelog entries and config file changes should all be reviewed closely before this PR is merged.
* Ensure the list media admin API is always available
This API is required for some external media repo implementations to operate (mostly for doing quarantine operations on a room).
* changelog
Remove all the "double return" statements which were a result of us removing all the instances of
```

Python will return a tuple whether there are parentheses around the returned values or not.
I'm just sick of my editor complaining about this all over the place :)

Some of the caches on worker processes were not being correctly invalidated
when a room's state was changed in a way that did not affect the membership
list of the room.
We need to make sure we send out cache invalidations even when no memberships
are changing.
Propagate opentracing contexts across workers
Also includes some Convenience modifications to opentracing for servlets, notably:
- Add boolean to skip the whitelisting check on inject
extract methods. - useful when injecting into carriers
locally. Otherwise we'd always have to include our
own servername and whitelist our servername
- start_active_span_from_request instead of header
- Add boolean to decide whether to extract context
from a request to a servlet
This type of registration was probably never used. It only includes the
user name in the HMAC but not the password.
Shared secret registration is still available via
client/r0/admin/register.

There's no point doing a raise_from here, because the exception is always
logged at warn with no stacktrace in the caller. Instead, let's try to give
better messages to reduce confusion.
In particular, this means that we won't log 'Failed to connect to remote
server' when we don't even attempt to connect to the remote server due to
blacklisting.
Get rid of the labyrinthine `recoverer_fn` code, and clean up the startup code
(it seemed to be previously inexplicably split between
`ApplicationServiceScheduler.start` and `_Recoverer.start`).
Add some docstrings too.
Hopefully, this will fix a stack overflow when recovering an appservice.
The recursion here leads to a huge chain of deferred callbacks, which then
overflows the stack when the chain completes. `inlineCallbacks` makes a better
job of this if we use iteration instead.
Clean up the code a bit too, while we're there.

Fixes#5833
The emailconfig code was attempting to pull incorrect config file names. This corrects that, while also marking a difference between a config file variable that's a filepath versus a str containing HTML.
This refactors MatrixFederationAgent to move the SRV lookup into the
endpoint code, this has two benefits:
1. Its easier to retry different host/ports in the same way as
HostnameEndpoint.
2. We avoid SRV lookups if we have a free connection in the pool
If we have recently seen a valid well-known for a domain we want to
retry on (non-final) errors a few times, to handle temporary blips in
networking/etc.

This gives a bit of a grace period where we can attempt to refetch a
remote `well-known`, while still using the cached result if that fails.
Hopefully this will make the well-known resolution a bit more torelant
of failures, rather than it immediately treating failures as "no result"
and caching that for an hour.
* allow devices to be marked as "hidden"
This is a prerequisite for cross-signing, as it allows us to create other things
that live within the device namespace, so they can be used for signatures.
It costs both us and the remote server for us to fetch the well known
for every single request we send, so we add a minimum cache period. This
is set to 5m so that we still honour the basic premise of "refetch
frequently".
When persisting events we calculate new stream orderings up front.
Before we notify about an event all events with lower stream orderings
must have finished being persisted.
This PR moves the assignment of stream ordering till *after* calculated
the new current state and split the batch of events into separate chunks
for persistence. This means that if it takes a long time to calculate
new current state then it will not block events in other rooms being
notified about.
This should help reduce some global pauses in the events stream which
can last for tens of seconds (if not longer), caused by some
particularly expensive state resolutions.
This hopefully addresses #5407 by gracefully handling an empty but
limited TimelineBatch. We also add some logging to figure out how this
is happening.
This is intended as an amendment to #5674 as using M_UNKNOWN as the errcode makes it hard for clients to differentiate between an invalid password and a deactivated user (the problem we were trying to solve in the first place).
M_UNKNOWN was originally chosen as it was presumed than an MSC would have to be carried out to add a new code, but as Synapse often is the testing bed for new MSC implementations, it makes sense to try it out first in the wild and then add it into the spec if it is successful. Thus this PR return a new M_USER_DEACTIVATED code when a deactivated user attempts to login.
The double posting is really annoying, and I don't think anyone is
actually reading them. The commit statuses should give a good summary
and will link to a full report.
The `expire_access_token` didn't do what it sounded like it should do. What it
actually did was make Synapse enforce the 'time' caveat on macaroons used as
access tokens, but since our access token macaroons never contained such a
caveat, it was always a no-op.
(The code to add 'time' caveats was removed back in v0.18.5, in #1656)
* Fix debian packages for sid being called buster.
I don't know why the sid images return buster as its codename in
`lsb_release` but it does, so lets just grab the codename from the
distro we pass into dockerfile
* Newsfile
Annoyingly, `current_state_events` table can include rejected events,
in which case the membership column will be null. To work around this
lets just always filter out null membership for now.
This is a prerequisite for cross-signing, as it allows us to create other things
that live within the device namespace, so they can be used for signatures.
This will allow us to efficiently filter out rooms that have been
forgotten in other queries without having to join against the
`room_memberships` table.

Synapse 1.7.0 (2019-12-13)
==========================
This release changes the default settings so that only local authenticated users can query the server's room directory. See the [upgrade notes](UPGRADE.rst#upgrading-to-v170) for details.
Support for SQLite versions before 3.11 is now deprecated. A future release will refuse to start if used with an SQLite version before 3.11.
Administrators are reminded that SQLite should not be used for production instances. Instructions for migrating to Postgres are available [here](docs/postgres.md). A future release of synapse will, by default, disable federation for servers using SQLite.

**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::
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

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
