SECURITY UPDATE: Prevent unauthorised users from setting state events in a room
when there is no `m.room.power_levels` event in force in the room. (PR #3397)
Discussion around the Matrix Spec change proposal for this change can be
followed at https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/1304.
This appears to have stopped working since matrix.org moved to cloudflare. The
Host header should match the name of the server, not whatever is in the SRV
record.
Changes in synapse v0.31.1 (2018-06-08)
=======================================
v0.31.1 fixes a security bug in the ``get_missing_events`` federation API
where event visibility rules were not applied correctly.
We are not aware of it being actively exploited but please upgrade asap.
Bug Fixes:
* Fix event filtering in get_missing_events handler (PR #3371)
Firstly, don't swallow the reason for the failure
Secondly, don't assume all exceptions are verification failures
Thirdly, log a bit of info about the key being used if debug is enabled
Changes in synapse v0.31.0 (2018-06-06)
======================================
Most notable change from v0.30.0 is to switch to python prometheus library to improve system
stats reporting. WARNING this changes a number of prometheus metrics in a
backwards-incompatible manner. For more details, see
`docs/metrics-howto.rst <docs/metrics-howto.rst#removal-of-deprecated-metrics--time-based-counters-becoming-histograms-in-0310>`_.
Bug Fixes:
* Fix metric documentation tables (PR #3341)
