Synapse 1.33.2 (2021-05-11)
===========================
Due to the security issue highlighted below, server administrators are encouraged to update Synapse. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild.
Security advisory
-----------------
This release fixes a denial of service attack ([CVE-2021-29471](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-x345-32rc-8h85)) against Synapse's push rules implementation. Server admins are encouraged to upgrade.
Internal Changes
----------------
- Unpin attrs dependency. ([\#9946](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9946))
* tests for push rule pattern matching
* tests for acl pattern matching
* factor out common `re.escape`
* Factor out common re.compile
* Factor out common anchoring code
* add word_boundary support to `glob_to_regex`
* Use `glob_to_regex` in push rule evaluator
NB that this drops support for character classes. I don't think anyone ever
used them.
* Improve efficiency of globs with multiple wildcards
The idea here is that we compress multiple `*` globs into a single `.*`. We
also need to consider `?`, since `*?*` is as hard to implement efficiently as
`**`.
* add assertion on regex pattern
* Fix mypy
* Simplify glob_to_regex
* Inline the glob_to_regex helper function

Part of #9744
Removes all redundant `# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-` lines from files, as python 3 automatically reads source code as utf-8 now.

Currently federation catchup will send the last *local* event that we
failed to send to the remote. This can cause issues for large rooms
where lots of servers have sent events while the remote server was down,
as when it comes back up again it'll be flooded with events from various
points in the DAG.
Instead, let's make it so that all the servers send the most recent
events, even if its not theirs. The remote should deduplicate the
events, so there shouldn't be much overhead in doing this.
Alternatively, the servers could only send local events if they were
also extremities and hope that the other server will send the event
over, but that is a bit risky.
Federation catch up mode is very inefficient if the number of events
that the remote server has missed is small, since handling gaps can be
very expensive, c.f. #9492.
Instead of going into catch up mode whenever we see an error, we instead
do so only if we've backed off from trying the remote for more than an
hour (the assumption being that in such a case it is more than a
transient failure).
- Update black version to the latest
- Run black auto formatting over the codebase
- Run autoformatting according to [`docs/code_style.md
`](80d6dc9783/docs/code_style.md)
- Update `code_style.md` docs around installing black to use the correct version
The `RoomDirectoryFederationTests` tests were not being run unless explicitly called as an `__init__.py` file was not present in `tests/federation/transport/`. Thus the folder was not a python module, and `trial` did not look inside for any test cases to run. This was found while working on #6739.
This PR adds a `__init__.py` and also fixes the test in a couple ways:
- Switch to subclassing `unittest.FederatingHomeserverTestCase` instead, which sets up federation endpoints for us.
- Supply a `federation_auth_origin` to `make_request` in order to more act like the request is coming from another server, instead of just an unauthenicated client requesting a federation endpoint.
I found that the second point makes no difference to the test passing, but felt like the right thing to do if we're testing over federation.

* Fix _set_destination_retry_timings
This came about because the code assumed that retry_interval
could not be NULL — which has been challenged by catch-up.
Synapse 1.20.0rc3 (2020-09-11)
==============================
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.20.0rc1 where the wrong exception was raised when invalid JSON data is encountered. ([\#8291](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8291))
Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/2431
Adds config option `encryption_enabled_by_default_for_room_type`, which determines whether encryption should be enabled with the default encryption algorithm in private or public rooms upon creation. Whether the room is private or public is decided based upon the room creation preset that is used.
Part of this PR is also pulling out all of the individual instances of `m.megolm.v1.aes-sha2` into a constant variable to eliminate typos ala https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/7637
Based on #7637
The idea here is that if an instance persists an event via the replication HTTP API it can return before we receive that event over replication, which can lead to races where code assumes that persisting an event immediately updates various caches (e.g. current state of the room).
Most of Synapse doesn't hit such races, so we don't do the waiting automagically, instead we do so where necessary to avoid unnecessary delays. We may decide to change our minds here if it turns out there are a lot of subtle races going on.
People probably want to look at this commit by commit.
Occasionally we could get a federation device list update transaction which
looked like:
```
[
{'edu_type': 'm.device_list_update', 'content': {'user_id': '@user:test', 'device_id': 'D2', 'prev_id': [], 'stream_id': 12, 'deleted': True}},
{'edu_type': 'm.device_list_update', 'content': {'user_id': '@user:test', 'device_id': 'D1', 'prev_id': [12], 'stream_id': 11, 'deleted': True}},
{'edu_type': 'm.device_list_update', 'content': {'user_id': '@user:test', 'device_id': 'D3', 'prev_id': [11], 'stream_id': 13, 'deleted': True}}
]
```
Having `stream_ids` which are lower than `prev_ids` looks odd. It might work
(I'm not actually sure), but in any case it doesn't seem like a reasonable
thing to expect other implementations to support.
