Tue Jul 5 12:48:31 UTC 2022 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.62.0
Authors of spam-checker plugins should consult the upgrade notes
to learn about the enriched signatures for spam checker
callbacks, which are supported with this release of Synapse.
- Features
- Port the spam-checker API callbacks to a new, richer API.
This is part of an ongoing change to let spam-checker modules
inform users of the reason their event or operation is
rejected. (#12857, #13047)
- Allow server admins to customise the response of the
/.well-known/matrix/client endpoint. (#13035)
- Add metrics measuring the CPU and DB time spent in state
resolution. (#13036)
- Speed up fetching of device list changes in /sync and
/keys/changes. (#13045, #13098)
- Improve URL previews for sites which only provide Twitter
Card metadata, e.g. LWN.net. (#13056)
- Bugfixes
- Update the version of the ldap3 plugin included in the
matrixdotorg/synapse DockerHub images and the Debian packages
hosted on packages.matrix.org to 0.2.1. This fixes a bug with
usernames containing uppercase characters. (#13156)
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.62.0rc1 affecting unread
counts for users on small servers. (#13168)
- Fix unread counts for users on large servers. Introduced in
v1.62.0rc1. (#13140)
- Fix DB performance when deleting old push notifications.
Introduced in v1.62.0rc1. (#13141)
- Update MSC3786 implementation to check state_key. (#12939)
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.58 where Synapse would not
report full version information when installed from a git
checkout. This is a best-effort affair and not guaranteed to
be stable. (#12973)
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.60 where Synapse would fail
to start if the sqlite3 module was not available. (#12979)
- Fix a bug where non-standard information was required when
requesting the /hierarchy API over federation. Introduced in
Synapse v1.41.0. (#12991)
- Fix a long-standing bug which meant that rate limiting was
not restrictive enough in some cases. (#13018)
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.58 where profile requests
for a malformed user ID would ccause an internal error.
Synapse now returns 400 Bad Request in this situation.
(#13041)
- Fix some inconsistencies in the event authentication code.
(#13087, #13088)
- Fix a long-standing bug where room directory requests would
cause an internal server error if given a malformed room
alias. (#13106)
- Improved Documentation
- Add documentation for how to configure Synapse with Workers
using Docker Compose. Includes example worker config and
docker-compose.yaml. Contributed by @Thumbscrew. (#12737)

documentation. (#13022)
- Mention removed community/group worker endpoints in
upgrade.md. Contributed by @olmari. (#13023)

rather than the configuration file. (#13076)
- Update information on downstream Debian packages. (#13095)
- Remove documentation for the Delete Group Admin API which no
longer exists. (#13112)
- Deprecations and Removals
- Remove the unspecced DELETE /directory/list/room/{roomId}
endpoint, which hid rooms from the public room directory.
Instead, PUT to the same URL with a visibility of "private".
(#13123)
- Internal Changes
- Add tests for cancellation of GET /rooms/$room_id/members and
GET /rooms/$room_id/state requests. (#12674)
- Report login failures due to unknown third party identifiers
in the same way as failures due to invalid passwords. This
prevents an attacker from using the error response to
determine if the identifier exists. Contributed by Daniel
Aloni. (#12738)
- Merge the Complement testing Docker images into a single,
multi-purpose image. (#12881, #13075)

Tue Jun 28 15:55:03 UTC 2022 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.61.1 (boo#1201229)
This patch release fixes a security issue regarding URL previews,
affecting all prior versions of Synapse. Server administrators
are encouraged to update Synapse as soon as possible. We are not
aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild.
Server administrators who are unable to update Synapse may use
the workarounds described in the linked GitHub Security Advisory
below.
The following issue is fixed in 1.61.1.
GHSA-22p3-qrh9-cx32 / CVE-2022-31052
Synapse instances with the url_preview_enabled homeserver config
option set to true are affected. URL previews of some web pages
can lead to unbounded recursion, causing the request to either
fail, or in some cases crash the running Synapse process.
Requesting URL previews requires authentication. Nevertheless, it
is possible to exploit this maliciously, either by malicious
users on the homeserver, or by remote users sending URLs that a
local user's client may automatically request a URL preview for.
Homeservers with the url_preview_enabled configuration option set
to false (the default) are unaffected. Instances with the
enable_media_repo configuration option set to false are also
unaffected, as this also disables URL preview functionality.
Fixed by fa1308061802ac7b7d20e954ba7372c5ac292333.

(#12925)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue May 31 16:57:15 UTC 2022 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.60.0
This release of Synapse adds a unique index to the
state_group_edges table, in order to prevent accidentally
introducing duplicate information (for example, because a
database backup was restored multiple times). If your Synapse
database already has duplicate rows in this table, this could
fail with an error and require manual remediation.
Additionally, the signature of the check_event_for_spam module
callback has changed. The previous signature has been deprecated
and remains working for now. Module authors should update their
modules to use the new signature where possible.
See the upgrade notes for more details.

Tue May 17 10:27:39 UTC 2022 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.59.0
Synapse 1.59 makes several changes that server administrators
should be aware of:
- Device name lookup over federation is now disabled by default.
(#12616)
- The synapse.app.appservice and synapse.app.user_dir worker
application types are now deprecated. (#12452, #12654)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu May 5 18:33:27 UTC 2022 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.58.1
This patch release includes a fix to the Debian packages,
installing the systemd and cache_memory extra package groups,
which were incorrectly omitted in v1.58.0. This primarily
prevented Synapse from starting when the
systemd.journal.JournalHandler log handler was configured. See
#12631 for further information.
Otherwise, no significant changes since 1.58.0.

- Update to 1.57.1
- Updates to the Docker image

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Apr 19 13:18:59 UTC 2022 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.57.0
This version includes a change to the way transaction IDs are
managed for application services. If your deployment uses a
dedicated worker for application service traffic, it must be
stopped when the database is upgraded (which normally happens
when the main process is upgraded), to ensure the change is made
safely without any risk of reusing transaction IDs.
See the upgrade notes for more details.

- Features
- Send device list changes to application services as specified
by MSC3202, using unstable prefixes. The
msc3202_transaction_extensions experimental homeserver config

Tue Apr 5 14:16:27 UTC 2022 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.56.0
Synapse will now refuse to start up if open registration is
enabled, in order to help mitigate abuse across the federation.
If you would like to provide registration to anyone, consider
adding email, recaptcha or token-based verification in order to
prevent automated registration from bad actors. This check can be
disabled by setting the enable_registration_without_verification
option in your homeserver configuration file to true. More
details are available in the upgrade notes.
Synapse will additionally now refuse to start when using
PostgreSQL with a non-C values for COLLATE and CTYPE, unless the
config flag allow_unsafe_locale, found in the database section of
the configuration file, is set to true. See the upgrade notes for
details.

Thu Mar 24 23:29:03 UTC 2022 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.55.2
This patch version reverts the earlier fixes from Synapse 1.55.1,
which could cause problems in certain deployments, and instead
adds a cap to the version of Jinja to be installed. Again, this
is to fix an incompatibility with version 3.1.0 of the Jinja
library, and again, deployments of Synapse using the
matrixdotorg/synapse Docker image or Debian packages from
packages.matrix.org are not affected.
- Internal Changes
- Pin Jinja to <3.1.0, as Synapse fails to start with Jinja
3.1.0. (#12297)
- Revert changes from 1.55.1 as they caused problems with older
versions of Jinja (#12296)
- Changes from 1.55.1
This is a patch release that fixes an incompatibility with
version 3.1.0 of the Jinja library, released on March 24th, 2022.
Deployments of Synapse using the matrixdotorg/synapse Docker
image or Debian packages from packages.matrix.org are not
affected.
- Internal Changes
- Remove uses of the long-deprecated jinja2.Markup which would
prevent Synapse from starting with Jinja 3.1.0 or above
installed. (#12289)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Mar 22 19:59:01 UTC 2022 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.55.0
This release removes a workaround introduced in Synapse 1.50.0
for Mjolnir compatibility. This breaks compatibility with Mjolnir
1.3.1 and earlier. (#11700); Mjolnir users should upgrade Mjolnir
before upgrading Synapse to this version.
This release also moves the location of the synctl script; see

Tue Mar 8 18:44:40 UTC 2022 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.54.0
Please note that this will be the last release of Synapse that is
compatible with Mjolnir 1.3.1 and earlier. Administrators of
servers which have the Mjolnir module installed are advised to
upgrade Mjolnir to version 1.3.2 or later.
- Features
- Add support for MSC3202: sending one-time key counts and
fallback key usage states to Application Services. (#11617)
- Improve the generated URL previews for some web pages.
Contributed by @AndrewRyanChama. (#11985)

/_matrix/client/v3/account/whoami. (#12021)
- Use room version 9 as the default room version (per MSC3589).
(#12058)
- Add module callbacks to react to user deactivation status
changes (i.e. deactivations and reactivations) and profile
updates. (#12062)
- Bugfixes
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.54.0rc1 preventing the new
module callbacks introduced in this release from being
registered by modules. (#12141)

dependency version checks would mistakenly check development
dependencies if they were present and would not accept
pre-release versions of dependencies. (#12129, #12177)
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.48.0 where an edit of the
latest event in a thread would not be properly applied to the
thread summary. (#11992)

not correctly invalidated for remote users when the server
left a room. (#11999)
- Fix a 500 error with Postgres when looking backwards with the
MSC3030 /timestamp_to_event?dir=b endpoint. (#12024)
- Properly fix a long-standing bug where wrong data could be
inserted into the event_search table when using SQLite. This
could block running synapse_port_db with an argument of type
'int' is not iterable error. This bug was partially fixed by
a change in Synapse 1.44.0. (#12037)

to malfunction if use_frozen_dicts was set in the
configuration. (#12100)
- Fix an extremely rare, long-standing bug in ReadWriteLock
that would cause an error when a newly unblocked writer
completes instantly. (#12105)
- Make a POST to /rooms/<room_id>/receipt/m.read/<event_id>
only trigger a push notification if the count of unread
messages is different to the one in the last successfully
sent push. This reduces server load and load on the receiving
device. (#11835)
- Updates to the Docker image
- The Docker image no longer automatically creates a temporary
volume at /data. This is not expected to affect normal usage.
(#11997)

_auth_and_persist_outliers. (#11994)
- Limit concurrent joins from applications services. (#11996)
- Preparation for faster-room-join work: when parsing the
send_join response, get the m.room.create event from state,
not auth_chain. (#12005, #12039)
- Preparation for faster-room-join work: parse MSC3706 fields
in send_join response. (#12011)

Wed Feb 9 23:24:56 UTC 2022 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.52.0
Note that Twisted 22.1.0 has recently been released, which fixes
a security issue within the Twisted library. We do not believe
Synapse is affected by this vulnerability, though we advise
server administrators who installed Synapse via pip to upgrade
Twisted with pip install --upgrade Twisted treq as a matter of
good practice. The Docker image matrixdotorg/synapse and the
Debian packages from packages.matrix.org are using the updated
library.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Feb 3 12:08:51 UTC 2022 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>

Thu Feb 3 12:04:47 UTC 2022 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Replace requires_eq with requires_peq: (boo#1195316)
The only difference between the 2 macros is that the new macro
also considers provides so we can track package names over
renames.

Tue Jan 25 13:44:47 UTC 2022 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.51.0
Synapse 1.51.0 deprecates webclient listeners and non-HTTP(S)

The wiki has been migrated to the documentation website We've
decided to move the existing, somewhat stagnant pages from the
GitHub wiki to the documentation website.
This was done for two reasons. The first was to ensure that
changes are checked by multiple authors before being committed
(everyone makes mistakes!) and the second was visibility of the
documentation. Not everyone knows that Synapse has some very
useful information hidden away in its GitHub wiki pages. Bringing
them to the documentation website should help with visibility, as
well as keep all Synapse documentation in one, easily-searchable
location.
Note that contributions to the documentation website happen
through GitHub pull requests. Please visit
#synapse-dev:matrix.org if you need help with the process!

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Nov 23 14:45:19 UTC 2021 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.47.1 (boo#1193005)
This release fixes a security issue in the media store, affecting
all prior releases of Synapse. Server administrators are
encouraged to update Synapse as soon as possible. We are not
aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild.
Server administrators who are unable to update Synapse may use
the workarounds described in the linked GitHub Security Advisory
below.
- Security Advisory:
GHSA-3hfw-x7gx-437c / CVE-2021-41281: Path traversal when
downloading remote media.
Synapse instances with the media repository enabled can be
tricked into downloading a file from a remote server into an
arbitrary directory, potentially outside the media store
directory. The last two directories and file name of the path
are chosen randomly by Synapse and cannot be controlled by an
attacker, which limits the impact. Homeservers with the media
repository disabled are unaffected. Homeservers configured with
a federation whitelist are also unaffected. Fixed by
91f2bd090.

- Update to 1.41.1 (boo#1190037 boo#1190038)
Due to the two security issues highlighted below, server
administrators are encouraged to update Synapse. We are not aware
of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild.
- Security advisory
The following issues are fixed in v1.41.1.
- GHSA-3x4c-pq33-4w3q / CVE-2021-39164: Enumerating a private
room's list of members and their display names.
If an unauthorized user both knows the Room ID of a private
room and that room's history visibility is set to shared,
then they may be able to enumerate the room's members,
including their display names.
The unauthorized user must be on the same homeserver as a
user who is a member of the target room.
Fixed by 52c7a51cf.
- GHSA-jj53-8fmw-f2w2 / CVE-2021-39163: Disclosing a private
room's name, avatar, topic, and number of members.
If an unauthorized user knows the Room ID of a private room,
then its name, avatar, topic, and number of members may be
disclosed through Group / Community features.
The unauthorized user must be on the same homeserver as a
user who is a member of the target room, and their homeserver
must allow non-administrators to create groups
(enable_group_creation in the Synapse configuration; off by
default).
Fixed by cb35df940a, #10723.
- Bugfixes
- Fix a regression introduced in Synapse 1.41 which broke email
transmission on systems using older versions of the Twisted
library. (#10713)

Wed Jun 30 14:03:06 UTC 2021 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.37.1
This release resolves issues (such as #9490) where one busy room
could cause head-of-line blocking, starving Synapse from
processing events in other rooms, and causing all federated
traffic to fall behind. Synapse 1.37.1 processes inbound
federation traffic asynchronously, ensuring that one busy room
won't impact others. Please upgrade to Synapse 1.37.1 as soon as
possible, in order to increase resilience to other traffic
spikes.
- Features
- Handle inbound events from federation asynchronously.
(#10269, #10272)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jun 29 10:44:06 UTC 2021 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.37.0
This release deprecates the current spam checker interface. See
the upgrade notes for more information on how to update to the
new generic module interface.
This release also removes support for fetching and renewing TLS
certificates using the ACME v1 protocol, which has been fully
decommissioned by Let's Encrypt on June 1st 2021. Admins
previously using this feature should use a reverse proxy to
handle TLS termination, or use an external ACME client (such as
certbot) to retrieve a certificate and key and provide them to
Synapse using the tls_certificate_path and tls_private_key_path
configuration settings.
- Features
- Implement "room knocking" as per MSC2403. Contributed by
@Sorunome and anoa. (#6739, #9359, #10167, #10212, #10227)

(MSC2716). (#9247)
- Implement a generic interface for third-party plugin modules.
(#10062, #10206)

sync SSO users' profile information with the identity
provider each time they login. Currently only displayname is
supported. (#10108)

the console. (#10191)
- Bugfixes

expires_in to be a float instead of an integer. Contributed
by @lukaslihotzki. (#10175)
- Always require users to re-authenticate for dangerous
operations: deactivating an account, modifying an account
password, and adding 3PIDs. (#10184)
- Fix a bug introduced in Synpase v1.7.2 where remote server
count metrics collection would be incorrectly delayed on
startup. Found by @heftig. (#10195)
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.35.1 where an allow key of
a m.room.join_rules event could be applied for incorrect room
versions and configurations. (#10208)

#10210, #10238)
- Stop supporting the unstable spaces prefixes from MSC1772.
(#10161)
- Remove Synapse's support for automatically fetching and
renewing certificates using the ACME v1 protocol. This
protocol has been fully turned off by Let's Encrypt for
existing installations on June 1st 2021. Admins previously
using this feature should use a reverse proxy to handle TLS
termination, or use an external ACME client (such as certbot)
to retrieve a certificate and key and provide them to Synapse
using the tls_certificate_path and tls_private_key_path
configuration settings. (#10194)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Mar 26 12:39:34 UTC 2021 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.30.1
This release is identical to Synapse 1.30.0, with the exception
of explicitly setting a minimum version of Python's Cryptography
library to ensure that users of Synapse are protected from the
recent OpenSSL security advisories, especially CVE-2021-3449.
- Internal Changes
- Enforce that `cryptography` dependency is up to date to
ensure it has the most recent openssl patches. (#9697)
- Note: we do not bump the cryptography dependency in our package
as we use the system OpenSSL which gets the fix.
Add dont-bump-cryptography-with-system-openssl.patch to comment
out the dependency because otherwise the newer version
requirement is enforced on startup
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Mar 22 14:02:31 UTC 2021 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.30.0
Note that this release deprecates the ability for appservices to
call POST /_matrix/client/r0/register without the body parameter
type. Appservice developers should use a type value of
m.login.application_service as per the spec. In future releases,
calling this endpoint with an access token - but without a
m.login.application_service type - will fail.
- Features

synapse_federation_last_received_pdu_time prometheus metrics,
which monitor federation delays by reporting the timestamps
of messages sent and received to a set of remote servers.

through if one was used. (#9626)
- Bugfixes
- Fix long-standing bug when generating thumbnails for some
images with transparency: TypeError: cannot unpack
non-iterable int object. (#9473)
- Purge chain cover indexes for events that were purged prior
to Synapse v1.29.0. (#9542, #9583)
- Fix bug where federation requests were not correctly retried
on 5xx responses. (#9567)
- Fix re-activating an account via the admin API when local
passwords are disabled. (#9587)
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.20 which caused incoming
federation transactions to stack up, causing slow recovery
from outages. (#9597)
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.28.0 where the OpenID Connect
callback endpoint could error with a MacaroonInitException.
(#9620)
- Fix Internal Server Error on GET
/_synapse/client/saml2/authn_response request. (#9623)

- The synapse_federation_last_sent_pdu_age and
synapse_federation_last_received_pdu_age prometheus metrics
have been removed. They are replaced by
synapse_federation_last_sent_pdu_time and
synapse_federation_last_received_pdu_time. (#9540)

m.login.application_service login type will be unsupported in
an upcoming Synapse release. (#9559)

- The no_proxy and NO_PROXY environment variables are now
respected in proxied HTTP clients with the lowercase form
taking precedence if both are present. Additionally, the
lowercase https_proxy environment variable is now respected
in proxied HTTP clients on top of existing support for the
uppercase HTTPS_PROXY form and takes precedence if both are
present. Contributed by Timothy Leung. (#9372)

user_directory.prefer_local_users, which when enabled will
make it more likely for users on the same server as you to
appear above other users. (#9383, #9385)

- Update to 1.28.0
This release fixes the documentation included in v1.27.0 around
the callback URI for SAML2 identity providers. If your server is
configured to use single sign-on via a SAML2 IdP, you may need to
make configuration changes. Please review UPGRADE.rst for more
details on these changes.
Removal warning
- The v1 list accounts API is deprecated and will be removed in a
future release. This API was undocumented and misleading. It
can be replaced by the v2 list accounts API, which has been
available since Synapse 1.7.0 (2019-12-13).
- Please check if you're using any scripts which use the admin
API and replace GET /_synapse/admin/v1/users/<user_id> with GET
/_synapse/admin/v2/users.
- Features
- New admin API to get the context of an event:
/_synapse/admin/rooms/{roomId}/context/{eventId}. (#9150)

compliance. (#9321, #9393)
- Fix additional errors when previewing URLs: "AttributeError
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'xpath'" and "ValueError:
Unicode strings with encoding declaration are not supported.
Please use bytes input or XML fragments without
declaration.". (#9333)
- Fix a bug causing Synapse to impose the wrong type
constraints on fields when processing responses from
appservices to /_matrix/app/v1/thirdparty/user/{protocol}.
(#9361)
- Fix bug where Synapse would occasionally stop reconnecting to
Redis after the connection was lost. (#9391)
- Fix a long-standing bug when upgrading a room: "TypeError:
'>' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'int'".
(#9395)
- Reduce the amount of memory used when generating the URL
preview of a file that is larger than the max_spider_size.
(#9421)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Feb 16 14:12:41 UTC 2021 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.27.0
Note that this release includes a change in Synapse to use Redis
as a cache ─ as well as a pub/sub mechanism ─ if Redis support is
enabled for workers. No action is needed by server
administrators, and we do not expect resource usage of the Redis
instance to change dramatically.
This release also changes the callback URI for OpenID Connect
(OIDC) identity providers. If your server is configured to use
single sign-on via an OIDC/OAuth2 IdP, you may need to make
configuration changes. Please review UPGRADE.rst for more details
on these changes.
This release also changes escaping of variables in the HTML
templates for SSO or email notifications. If you have customised
these templates, please review UPGRADE.rst for more details on
these changes.

Wed Jan 13 12:28:54 UTC 2021 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.25.0
Ending Support for Python 3.5 and Postgres 9.5 With this release,
the Synapse team is announcing a formal deprecation policy for
our platform dependencies, like Python and PostgreSQL:
All future releases of Synapse will follow the upstream
end-of-life schedules.
Which means:
This is the last release which guarantees support for Python 3.5.
We will end support for PostgreSQL 9.5 early next month. We will
end support for Python 3.6 and PostgreSQL 9.6 near the end of the
year. Crucially, this means we will not produce .deb packages
for Debian 9 (Stretch) or Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) beyond the
transition period described below.
The website https://endoflife.date/ has convenient summaries of
the support schedules for projects like Python and PostgreSQL.
If you are unable to upgrade your environment to a supported
version of Python or Postgres, we encourage you to consider using
the Synapse Docker images instead.
Transition Period We will make a good faith attempt to avoid
breaking compatibility in all releases through the end of March
2021. However, critical security vulnerabilities in dependencies
or other unanticipated circumstances may arise which necessitate
breaking compatibility earlier.
We intend to continue producing .deb packages for Debian 9
(Stretch) and Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) through the transition
period.
Removal warning The old Purge Room API and Shutdown Room API are
deprecated and will be removed in a future release. They will be
replaced by the Delete Room APIe
POST /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>/delete replaces
POST /_synapse/admin/v1/purge_room and
POST /_synapse/admin/v1/shutdown_room/<room_id>.

Wed Dec 9 11:34:37 UTC 2020 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.24.0
Due to the two security issues highlighted below, server
administrators are encouraged to update Synapse. We are not aware
of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild.
- Security
- There is a denial of service attack (CVE-2020-26257) against
the federation APIs in which future events will not be
correctly sent to other servers over federation. This affects
all servers that participate in open federation. (Fixed in
#8776).

Synapse administrators should ensure that they have the
latest versions of the cryptography Python package installed.

the password login type if a custom auth provider supported
it, even if password login was disabled. (#8835)
- Fix a long-standing bug which caused Synapse to require
unspecified parameters during user-interactive
authentication. (#8848)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Sep 18 16:29:17 UTC 2020 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.20.0
- Removal warning
- Some older clients used a disallowed character (:) in the
client_secret parameter of various endpoints. The incorrect
behaviour was allowed for backwards compatibility, but is now
being removed from Synapse as most users have updated their
client. Further context can be found at #6766.
- Historically, the Synapse Admin API has been accessible under
the prefixes:
/_matrix/client/api/v1/admin,
/_matrix/client/unstable/admin,
/_matrix/client/r0/admin
/_synapse/admin
In a future release, we will be dropping support for
accessing Synapse's Admin API using the /_matrix/client/*
prefixes. This makes it easier for homeserver admins to lock
down external access to the Admin API endpoints.
- Features
- Add flags to the /versions endpoint for whether new rooms
default to using E2EE. (#8343)
- Add an endpoint to query your shared rooms with another user
as an implementation of MSC2666. (#7785)
- Iteratively encode JSON to avoid blocking the reactor.

send requests). (#8034, #8092, #8095, #8142, #8152, #8157,
#8158, #8176)
- Use the default template file when its equivalent is not
found in a custom template directory. (#8037, #8107, #8252)
- Add unread messages count to sync responses, as specified in
MSC2654. (#8059, #8254, #8270, #8274)
- Optimise /federation/v1/user/devices/ API by only returning
devices with encryption keys. (#8198)
- Bugfixes
- Fix rate limiting of federation /send requests. (#8342)
- Fix a longstanding bug where back pagination over federation
could get stuck if it failed to handle a received event.
(#8349)

get past events in a room when there is a malformed event.
(#8350)
- Fix joining rooms over federation that include malformed
events. (#8324)
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.20.0rc1 where the wrong exception
was raised when invalid JSON data is encountered. (#8291)
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.20.0rc1 causing some features
related to notifications to misbehave following the
implementation of unread counts. (#8280)
- Fix a memory leak by limiting the length of time that
messages will be queued for a remote server that has been
unreachable. (#7864)
- Fix Re-starting finished log context PUT-nnnn warning when
event persistence failed. (#8081)
- Synapse now correctly enforces the valid characters in the
client_secret parameter used in various endpoints. (#8101)
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.7.2 impacting message retention
policies that would allow federated homeservers to dictate a
retention period that's lower than the configured minimum
allowed duration in the configuration file. (#8104)
- Fix a long-standing bug where invalid JSON would be accepted
by Synapse. (#8106)
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.12.0 which could cause
/sync requests to fail with a 404 if you had a very old
outstanding room invite. (#8110)
- Return a proper error code when the rooms of an invalid group
are requested. (#8129)
- Fix a bug which could cause a leaked postgres connection if
synapse was set to daemonize. (#8131)
- Clarify the error code if a user tries to register with a
numeric ID. This bug was introduced in v1.15.0. (#8135)
- Fix a bug where appservices with ratelimiting disabled would
still be ratelimited when joining rooms. This bug was
introduced in v1.19.0. (#8139)
- Fix logging in via OpenID Connect with a provider that uses
integer user IDs. (#8190)
- Fix a longstanding bug where user directory updates could
break when unexpected profile data was included in events.
(#8223)
- Fix a longstanding bug where stats updates could break when
unexpected profile data was included in events. (#8226)

Thu Jul 30 11:40:22 UTC 2020 - Aleksa Sarai <asarai@suse.com>
- Update to synapse 1.18.0.
* Features
+ Include room states on invite events that are sent to application
services.
+ Add delete room admin endpoint (POST /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>/delete).
+ Add experimental support for running multiple federation sender
processes.
+ Add the option to validate the iss and aud claims for JWT logins.
+ Add support for handling registration requests across multiple client
reader workers.
+ Add an admin API to list the users in a room. Contributed by Awesome
Technologies Innovationslabor GmbH.
+ Allow email subjects to be customised through Synapse's configuration.
+ Add the ability to re-activate an account from the admin API.
+ Add experimental support for running multiple pusher workers.
+ Add experimental support for moving typing off master.
+ Report CPU metrics to prometheus for time spent processing replication
commands.
+ Support oEmbed for media previews.
+ Abort federation requests where the client disconnects before the
ratelimiter expires.
+ Cache responses to /_matrix/federation/v1/state_ids to reduce duplicated
work.
* Bugfixes
* Fix detection of out of sync remote device lists when receiving events
from remote users.
* Fix bug where Synapse fails to process an incoming event over federation
if the server is missing too much of the event's auth chain.
* Fix a bug causing Synapse to misinterpret the value off for
encryption_enabled_by_default_for_room_type in its configuration file(s)
if that value isn't surrounded by quotes. This bug was introduced in
v1.16.0.
* Fix bug where we did not always pass in app_name or server_name to email
templates, including e.g. for registration emails.
* Errors which occur while using the non-standard JWT login now return the
proper error: 403 Forbidden with an error code of M_FORBIDDEN.
* Fix "AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'" error message
when applying per-room message retention policies. The bug was introduced
in Synapse 1.7.0.
* Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.10.0 which could cause a "no create
event in auth events" error during room creation.
* Fix a bug which allowed empty rooms to be rejoined over federation.
* Fix 'Unable to find a suitable guest user ID' error when using multiple
client_reader workers.
* Fix a long standing bug where the tracing of async functions with
opentracing was broken.
* Fix "TypeError in synapse.notifier" exceptions.
* Fix deprecation warning due to invalid escape sequences.

Tue May 19 14:54:57 UTC 2020 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.13.0
This release brings some potential changes necessary for certain
configurations of Synapse:
- If your Synapse is configured to use SSO and have a custom
sso_redirect_confirm_template_dir configuration option set, you
will need to duplicate the new sso_auth_confirm.html,
sso_auth_success.html and sso_account_deactivated.html
templates into that directory.
- Synapse plugins using the complete_sso_login method of
synapse.module_api.ModuleApi should instead switch to the
async/await version, complete_sso_login_async, which includes
additional checks. The former version is now deprecated.
- 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.
Please review UPGRADE.rst for more details on these changes and
for general upgrade guidance.
For the complete list of changes please refer to
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/releases/tag/v1.13.0

Mon Mar 23 14:36:36 UTC 2020 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.12.0
Synapse may be vulnerable to request-smuggling attacks when it is
used with a reverse-proxy. The vulnerabilties are fixed in
Twisted 20.3.0, and are described in
[CVE-2020-10108](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-10108)
and
[CVE-2020-10109](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-10109).
For a good introduction to this class of request-smuggling
attacks, see
https://portswigger.net/research/http-desync-attacks-request-smuggling-reborn.
We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the
wild, and do not believe that they are exploitable with current
versions of any reverse proxies. Nevertheless, we recommend that
all Synapse administrators ensure that they have the latest
versions of the Twisted library to ensure that their installation
remains secure.
- Features
- Changes related to room alias management
([MSC2432](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2432)):
- Publishing/removing a room from the room directory now
requires the user to have a power level capable of
modifying the canonical alias, instead of the room aliases.
([\#6965](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6965))
- Validate the `alt_aliases` property of canonical alias
events.
([\#6971](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6971))
- Users with a power level sufficient to modify the canonical
alias of a room can now delete room aliases.
([\#6986](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6986))

Thu Jan 23 16:06:38 UTC 2020 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- package cleanup
- make sure we have all libraries to actually install the package:
- buildrequires all runtime requirements
- (build)require python3-typing_extensions
- having it use the python package name is not really useful here.
- refreshed and renamed better-paths.patch to
matrix-synapse-1.4.1-paths.patch
- also fix existing synapse user
- group to synapse instead of nogroup
- home directory to /var/lib/matrix-synapse
- shell to /bin/false (which actually exists)
- improvements to the logging configuration:
- install copy of the current /etc/matrix-synapse/log.yaml as
/etc/matrix-synapse/log.systemd.yaml
- install /etc/matrix-synapse/log.file.yaml which logs to
/var/log/matrix-synapse/homeserver.log
- add the log directory /var/log/matrix-synapse/
- added README.SUSE
- better way to bootstrap a new config:
1. ExecStartPre would have never worked anyway
2. added %{_sbindir}/matrix-synapse-generate-config
Usage:
%{_sbindir}/matrix-synapse-generate-config servername
- fix group and shell for the synapse user
- added better-paths.patch
- put the pid file into /run/matrix-synapse/
- use a default logging config in /etc/matrix-synapse/log.yaml
to have systemd logging by default
- use full path in the service file
- actually use source 50 instead of the service file in the tarball
- make permissions tighter on the config files as it contains
passwords and other secrets:
root:synapse u=rwX,g=rX,o=

Thu Jan 23 13:45:22 UTC 2020 - Aleksa Sarai <asarai@suse.com>
- Update to 1.9.0.
WARNING: As of this release, Synapse no longer supports versions of SQLite
before 3.11, and will refuse to start when configured to use an older
version. Administrators are recommended to migrate their database to Postgres
(see instructions here).
WARNING: If your Synapse deployment uses workers, note that the reverse-proxy
configurations for the synapse.app.media_repository,
synapse.app.federation_reader and synapse.app.event_creator workers have
changed, with the addition of a few paths (see the updated configurations
here). Existing configurations will continue to work.
+ Allow admin to create or modify a user.
+ Add new quarantine media admin APIs to quarantine by media ID or by user
who uploaded the media.
+ Add a new admin API to list and filter rooms on the server.

described in MSC1802).
* Add a develop script to generate full SQL schemas.
* Add custom SAML username mapping functinality through an external provider
plugin.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jul 5 15:29:57 UTC 2019 - Aleksa Sarai <asarai@suse.com>
- Update to 1.1.0.
As of v1.1.0, Synapse no longer supports Python 2, nor Postgres version 9.4.

changes include:
* Add monthly active users to phonehome stats.
* Allow server admins to define implementations of extra rules for allowing
or denying incoming events.
* Add --data-dir and --open-private-ports options.
* The minimum TLS version used for outgoing federation requests can now be
set with federation_client_minimum_tls_version.

matrix-synapse on openSUSE for very little good reason (prometheus metrics
will still work on post-0.4.0 prometheus_client, but with changed names).
Debian and many other distributions do the same here.
+ 0001-requirements-prometheus_client.patch
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jun 12 02:26:48 UTC 2019 - Aleksa Sarai <asarai@suse.com>
- Update to 1.0.0.
This is the first stable release of synapse. It includes a large number of
changes but the highlights are:
* Ability to configured default room version (with the default now being v4,
which has improved state resolution algorithms and event IDs).
* The complete removal of "perspectives" support, with all homeservers now
being required to use valid TLS certificates (there has been a transition
period for several months from the release of 0.99).
* Experimental support for "relations" (reactions and edits).

Sun Apr 14 18:35:48 UTC 2019 - Aleksa Sarai <asarai@suse.com>
- Update to 0.99.3.
The primary changes to previous versions are that self-signed certificates
will no longer be generated, and instead LetsEncrypt certificates will be
requested instead. Users are strongly recommended to update to this version,
because pre-0.99 servers (using self-signed certificates and the perspectives
system) will no longer be able to federate with post-1.0 servers.
The full changelog is included in
/usr/share/doc/packages/matrix-synapse/CHANGES.md.

- Changed to specific "synapse" user and group
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri May 4 11:18:46 UTC 2018 - okurz@suse.com
- Update to version v0.28.1:
* SECURITY UPDATE
Clamp the allowed values of event depth received over federation to be
[0, 2^63 - 1]. This mitigates an attack where malicious events
injected with depth = 2^63 - 1 render rooms unusable. Depth is used to
determine the cosmetic ordering of events within a room, and so the ordering
of events in such a room will default to using stream_ordering rather than depth
(topological_ordering).
This is a temporary solution to mitigate abuse in the wild, whilst a long term solution
is being implemented to improve how the depth parameter is used.
Full details at
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I3fi2S-XnpO45qrpCsowZv8P8dHcNZ4fsBsbOW7KABI/edit#
