-Synapse 1.12.0 (2020-03-23)
+Synapse 1.16.0rc2 (2020-07-02)
+==============================
+
+Synapse 1.16.0rc2 includes the security fixes released with Synapse 1.15.2.
+Please see [below](#synapse-1152-2020-07-02) for more details.
+
+Improved Documentation
+----------------------
+
+- Update postgres image in example `docker-compose.yaml` to tag `12-alpine`. ([\#7696](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7696))
+
+
+Internal Changes
+----------------
+
+- Add some metrics for inbound and outbound federation latencies: `synapse_federation_server_pdu_process_time` and `synapse_event_processing_lag_by_event`. ([\#7771](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7771))
+
+
+Synapse 1.15.2 (2020-07-02)
 ===========================

-No significant changes since 1.12.0rc1.
+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
+-----------------
+
+* A malicious homeserver could force Synapse to reset the state in a room to a
+  small subset of the correct state. This affects all Synapse deployments which
+  federate with untrusted servers. ([96e9afe6](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/96e9afe62500310977dc3cbc99a8d16d3d2fa15c))
+* HTML pages served via Synapse were vulnerable to clickjacking attacks. This
+  predominantly affects homeservers with single-sign-on enabled, but all server
+  administrators are encouraged to upgrade. ([ea26e9a9](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/ea26e9a98b0541fc886a1cb826a38352b7599dbe))
+
+  This was reported by [Quentin Gliech](https://sandhose.fr/).
+
+
+Synapse 1.16.0rc1 (2020-07-01)
+==============================
+
+Note that this release deprecates the `m.login.jwt` login method, renaming it
+to `org.matrix.login.jwt`, as `m.login.jwt` is not part of the Matrix spec.
+Otherwise the behaviour is identical. Synapse will accept both names for now,
+but this may change in a future release.
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- Add an option to enable encryption by default for new rooms. ([\#7639](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7639))
+- Add support for running multiple media repository workers. See [docs/workers.md](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.16.0/docs/workers.md) for instructions. ([\#7706](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7706))

+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Remove `user_id` from the response to `GET /_matrix/client/r0/presence/{userId}/status` to match the specification. ([\#7606](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7606))

+- Fixs a long standing bug which resulted in an exception: "TypeError: argument of type 'ObservableDeferred' is not iterable". ([\#7708](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7708))
+- The `synapse_port_db` script no longer fails when the `ui_auth_sessions` table is non-empty. This bug has existed since v1.13.0. ([\#7711](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7711))
+- Synapse will now fetch media from the proper specified URL (using the r0 prefix instead of the unspecified v1). ([\#7714](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7714))
+- Fix the tables ignored by `synapse_port_db` to be in sync the current database schema. ([\#7717](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7717))
+- Fix missing `Content-Length` on HTTP responses from the metrics handler. ([\#7730](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7730))
+- Fix large state resolutions from stalling Synapse for seconds at a time. ([\#7735](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7735), [\#7746](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7746))

+- Corrected misspelling of PostgreSQL. ([\#7724](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7724))
+
+
+Deprecations and Removals
+-------------------------
+
+- Deprecate `m.login.jwt` login method in favour of `org.matrix.login.jwt`, as `m.login.jwt` is not part of the Matrix spec. ([\#7675](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7675))

+
+Synapse 1.13.0 (2020-05-19)
+===========================
+
+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](UPGRADE.rst) for more details on these changes
+and for general upgrade guidance.
+
+
+Notice of change to the default `git` branch for Synapse
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+With the release of Synapse 1.13.0, the default `git` branch for Synapse has
+changed to `develop`, which is the development tip. This is more consistent with
+common practice and modern `git` usage.
+
+The `master` branch, which tracks the latest release, is still available. It is
+recommended that developers and distributors who have scripts which run builds
+using the default branch of Synapse should therefore consider pinning their
+scripts to `master`.
+
+

+Synapse 1.12.0 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. For imformation on seeing if you are affected, and workaround if you

-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.
+ * Please include a [changelog entry](#changelog) with each PR.

+
+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`):

-doas pkg_add python libffi py-pip py-setuptools sqlite3 py-virtualenv \
-              libxslt jpeg

-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`

-### 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

+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;

-# Setup Synapse with Workers and Systemd
-
-This is a setup for managing synapse with systemd including support for
-managing workers. It provides a `matrix-synapse`, as well as a
-`matrix-synapse-worker@` service for any workers you require. Additionally to
-group the required services it sets up a `matrix.target`. You can use this to
-automatically start any bot- or bridge-services. More on this in
-[Bots and Bridges](#bots-and-bridges).
-
-See the folder [system](system) for any service and target files.
-
-The folder [workers](workers) contains an example configuration for the
-`federation_reader` worker. Pay special attention to the name of the
-configuration file. In order to work with the `matrix-synapse-worker@.service`
-service, it needs to have the exact same name as the worker app.
-
-This setup expects neither the homeserver nor any workers to fork. Forking is
-handled by systemd.
-
-## Setup
-
-1. Adjust your matrix configs. Make sure that the worker config files have the
-exact same name as the worker app. Compare `matrix-synapse-worker@.service` for
-why. You can find an example worker config in the [workers](workers) folder. See
-below for relevant settings in the `homeserver.yaml`.
-2. Copy the `*.service` and `*.target` files in [system](system) to
-`/etc/systemd/system`.
-3. `systemctl enable matrix-synapse.service` this adds the homeserver
-app to the `matrix.target`
-4. *Optional.* `systemctl enable
-matrix-synapse-worker@federation_reader.service` this adds the federation_reader
-app to the `matrix-synapse.service`
-5. *Optional.* Repeat step 4 for any additional workers you require.
-6. *Optional.* Add any bots or bridges by enabling them.
-7. Start all matrix related services via `systemctl start matrix.target`
-8. *Optional.* Enable autostart of all matrix related services on system boot
-via `systemctl enable matrix.target`
-
-## Usage
-
-After you have setup you can use the following commands to manage your synapse
-installation:
-
-```
-# Start matrix-synapse, all workers and any enabled bots or bridges.
-systemctl start matrix.target
-
-# Restart matrix-synapse and all workers (not necessarily restarting bots
-# or bridges, see "Bots and Bridges")
-systemctl restart matrix-synapse.service
-
-# Stop matrix-synapse and all workers (not necessarily restarting bots
-# or bridges, see "Bots and Bridges")
-systemctl stop matrix-synapse.service
-
-# Restart a specific worker (i. e. federation_reader), the homeserver is
-# unaffected by this.
-systemctl restart matrix-synapse-worker@federation_reader.service
-
-# Add a new worker (assuming all configs are setup already)
-systemctl enable matrix-synapse-worker@federation_writer.service
-systemctl restart matrix-synapse.service
-```
-
-## The Configs
-
-Make sure the `worker_app` is set in the `homeserver.yaml` and it does not fork.
-
-```
-worker_app: synapse.app.homeserver 
-daemonize: false
-```
-
-None of the workers should fork, as forking is handled by systemd. Hence make
-sure this is present in all worker config files.
-
-```
-worker_daemonize: false
-```
-
-The config files of all workers are expected to be located in
-`/etc/matrix-synapse/workers`. If you want to use a different location you have
-to edit the provided `*.service` files accordingly.  
-
-## Bots and Bridges
-
-Most bots and bridges do not care if the homeserver goes down or is restarted.
-Depending on the implementation this may crash them though. So look up the docs
-or ask the community of the specific bridge or bot you want to run to make sure
-you choose the correct setup.
-
-Whichever configuration you choose, after the setup the following will enable
-automatically starting (and potentially restarting) your bot/bridge with the
-`matrix.target`.
-
-```
-systemctl enable <yourBotOrBridgeName>.service
-```
-
-**Note** that from an inactive synapse the bots/bridges will only be started with
-synapse if you start the `matrix.target`, not if you start the
-`matrix-synapse.service`. This is on purpose. Think of `matrix-synapse.service`
-as *just* synapse, but `matrix.target` being anything matrix related, including
-synapse and any and all enabled bots and bridges.
-
-### Start with synapse but ignore synapse going down
-
-If the bridge can handle shutdowns of the homeserver you'll want to install the
-service in the `matrix.target` and optionally add a
-`After=matrix-synapse.service` dependency to have the bot/bridge start after
-synapse on starting everything.
-
-In this case the service file should look like this.
-
-```
-[Unit]
-# ...
-# Optional, this will only ensure that if you start everything, synapse will
-# be started before the bot/bridge will be started.
-After=matrix-synapse.service
-
-[Service]
-# ...
-
-[Install]
-WantedBy=matrix.target
-```
-
-### Stop/restart when synapse stops/restarts
-
-If the bridge can't handle shutdowns of the homeserver you'll still want to
-install the service in the `matrix.target` but also have to specify the
-`After=matrix-synapse.service` *and* `BindsTo=matrix-synapse.service`
-dependencies to have the bot/bridge stop/restart with synapse.
-
-In this case the service file should look like this.
-
-```
-[Unit]
-# ...
-# Mandatory
-After=matrix-synapse.service
-BindsTo=matrix-synapse.service
-
-[Service]
-# ...
-
-[Install]
-WantedBy=matrix.target

+# How to test CAS as a developer without a server
+
+The [django-mama-cas](https://github.com/jbittel/django-mama-cas) project is an
+easy to run CAS implementation built on top of Django.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. Create a new virtualenv: `python3 -m venv <your virtualenv>`
+2. Activate your virtualenv: `source /path/to/your/virtualenv/bin/activate`
+3. Install Django and django-mama-cas:
+   ```
+   python -m pip install "django<3" "django-mama-cas==2.4.0"
+   ```
+4. Create a Django project in the current directory:
+   ```
+   django-admin startproject cas_test .
+   ```
+5. Follow the [install directions](https://django-mama-cas.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#configuring) for django-mama-cas
+6. Setup the SQLite database: `python manage.py migrate`
+7. Create a user:
+   ```
+   python manage.py createsuperuser
+   ```
+   1. Use whatever you want as the username and password.
+   2. Leave the other fields blank.
+8. Use the built-in Django test server to serve the CAS endpoints on port 8000:
+   ```
+   python manage.py runserver
+   ```
+
+You should now have a Django project configured to serve CAS authentication with
+a single user created.
+
+## Configure Synapse (and Riot) to use CAS
+
+1. Modify your `homeserver.yaml` to enable CAS and point it to your locally
+   running Django test server:
+   ```yaml
+   cas_config:
+     enabled: true
+     server_url: "http://localhost:8000"
+     service_url: "http://localhost:8081"
+     #displayname_attribute: name
+     #required_attributes:
+     #    name: value
+   ```
+2. Restart Synapse.
+
+Note that the above configuration assumes the homeserver is running on port 8081
+and that the CAS server is on port 8000, both on localhost.
+
+## Testing the configuration
+
+Then in Riot:
+
+1. Visit the login page with a Riot pointing at your homeserver.
+2. Click the Single Sign-On button.
+3. Login using the credentials created with `createsuperuser`.
+4. You should be logged in.
+
+If you want to repeat this process you'll need to manually logout first:
+
+1. http://localhost:8000/admin/
+2. Click "logout" in the top right.

+Some notes on how we use git
+============================
+
+On keeping the commit history clean
+-----------------------------------
+
+In an ideal world, our git commit history would be a linear progression of
+commits each of which contains a single change building on what came
+before. Here, by way of an arbitrary example, is the top of `git log --graph
+b2dba0607`:
+
+<img src="git/clean.png" alt="clean git graph" width="500px">
+
+Note how the commit comment explains clearly what is changing and why. Also
+note the *absence* of merge commits, as well as the absence of commits called
+things like (to pick a few culprits):
+[“pep8”](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/84691da6c), [“fix broken
+test”](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/474810d9d),
+[“oops”](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/c9d72e457),
+[“typo”](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/836358823), or [“Who's
+the president?”](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/707374d5d).
+
+There are a number of reasons why keeping a clean commit history is a good
+thing:
+
+ * From time to time, after a change lands, it turns out to be necessary to
+   revert it, or to backport it to a release branch. Those operations are
+   *much* easier when the change is contained in a single commit.
+
+ * Similarly, it's much easier to answer questions like “is the fix for
+   `/publicRooms` on the release branch?” if that change consists of a single
+   commit.
+
+ * Likewise: “what has changed on this branch in the last week?” is much
+   clearer without merges and “pep8” commits everywhere.
+
+ * Sometimes we need to figure out where a bug got introduced, or some
+   behaviour changed. One way of doing that is with `git bisect`: pick an
+   arbitrary commit between the known good point and the known bad point, and
+   see how the code behaves. However, that strategy fails if the commit you
+   chose is the middle of someone's epic branch in which they broke the world
+   before putting it back together again.
+
+One counterargument is that it is sometimes useful to see how a PR evolved as
+it went through review cycles. This is true, but that information is always
+available via the GitHub UI (or via the little-known [refs/pull
+namespace](https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/checking-out-pull-requests-locally)).
+
+
+Of course, in reality, things are more complicated than that. We have release
+branches as well as `develop` and `master`, and we deliberately merge changes
+between them. Bugs often slip through and have to be fixed later. That's all
+fine: this not a cast-iron rule which must be obeyed, but an ideal to aim
+towards.
+
+Merges, squashes, rebases: wtf?
+-------------------------------
+
+Ok, so that's what we'd like to achieve. How do we achieve it?
+
+The TL;DR is: when you come to merge a pull request, you *probably* want to
+“squash and merge”:
+
+![squash and merge](git/squash.png).
+
+(This applies whether you are merging your own PR, or that of another
+contributor.)
+
+“Squash and merge”<sup id="a1">[1](#f1)</sup> takes all of the changes in the
+PR, and bundles them into a single commit. GitHub gives you the opportunity to
+edit the commit message before you confirm, and normally you should do so,
+because the default will be useless (again: `* woops typo` is not a useful
+thing to keep in the historical record).
+
+The main problem with this approach comes when you have a series of pull
+requests which build on top of one another: as soon as you squash-merge the
+first PR, you'll end up with a stack of conflicts to resolve in all of the
+others. In general, it's best to avoid this situation in the first place by
+trying not to have multiple related PRs in flight at the same time. Still,
+sometimes that's not possible and doing a regular merge is the lesser evil.
+
+Another occasion in which a regular merge makes more sense is a PR where you've
+deliberately created a series of commits each of which makes sense in its own
+right. For example: [a PR which gradually propagates a refactoring operation
+through the codebase](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/6837), or [a
+PR which is the culmination of several other
+PRs](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5987). In this case the ability
+to figure out when a particular change/bug was introduced could be very useful.
+
+Ultimately: **this is not a hard-and-fast-rule**. If in doubt, ask yourself “do
+each of the commits I am about to merge make sense in their own right”, but
+remember that we're just doing our best to balance “keeping the commit history
+clean” with other factors.
+
+Git branching model
+-------------------
+
+A [lot](https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/)
+[of](http://scottchacon.com/2011/08/31/github-flow.html)
+[words](https://www.endoflineblog.com/gitflow-considered-harmful) have been
+written in the past about git branching models (no really, [a
+lot](https://martinfowler.com/articles/branching-patterns.html)). I tend to
+think the whole thing is overblown. Fundamentally, it's not that
+complicated. Here's how we do it.
+
+Let's start with a picture:
+
+![branching model](git/branches.jpg)
+
+It looks complicated, but it's really not. There's one basic rule: *anyone* is
+free to merge from *any* more-stable branch to *any* less-stable branch at
+*any* time<sup id="a2">[2](#f2)</sup>. (The principle behind this is that if a
+change is good enough for the more-stable branch, then it's also good enough go
+put in a less-stable branch.)
+
+Meanwhile, merging (or squashing, as per the above) from a less-stable to a
+more-stable branch is a deliberate action in which you want to publish a change
+or a set of changes to (some subset of) the world: for example, this happens
+when a PR is landed, or as part of our release process.
+
+So, what counts as a more- or less-stable branch? A little reflection will show
+that our active branches are ordered thus, from more-stable to less-stable:
+
+ * `master` (tracks our last release).
+ * `release-vX.Y.Z` (the branch where we prepare the next release)<sup
+   id="a3">[3](#f3)</sup>.
+ * PR branches which are targeting the release.
+ * `develop` (our "mainline" branch containing our bleeding-edge).
+ * regular PR branches.
+
+The corollary is: if you have a bugfix that needs to land in both
+`release-vX.Y.Z` *and* `develop`, then you should base your PR on
+`release-vX.Y.Z`, get it merged there, and then merge from `release-vX.Y.Z` to
+`develop`. (If a fix lands in `develop` and we later need it in a
+release-branch, we can of course cherry-pick it, but landing it in the release
+branch first helps reduce the chance of annoying conflicts.)
+
+---
+
+<b id="f1">[1]</b>: “Squash and merge” is GitHub's term for this
+operation. Given that there is no merge involved, I'm not convinced it's the
+most intuitive name. [^](#a1)

+<b id="f2">[2]</b>: Well, anyone with commit access.[^](#a2)
+
+<b id="f3">[3]</b>: Very, very occasionally (I think this has happened once in
+the history of Synapse), we've had two releases in flight at once. Obviously,

+## Monitoring workers
+
+To monitor a Synapse installation using
+[workers](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/workers.md),
+every worker needs to be monitored independently, in addition to
+the main homeserver process. This is because workers don't send
+their metrics to the main homeserver process, but expose them
+directly (if they are configured to do so).
+
+To allow collecting metrics from a worker, you need to add a
+`metrics` listener to its configuration, by adding the following
+under `worker_listeners`:
+
+```yaml
+ - type: metrics
+   bind_address: ''
+   port: 9101
+```
+
+The `bind_address` and `port` parameters should be set so that
+the resulting listener can be reached by prometheus, and they
+don't clash with an existing worker.
+With this example, the worker's metrics would then be available
+on `http://127.0.0.1:9101`.

+
+## Preparing Synapse
+
+The OpenID integration in Synapse uses the
+[`authlib`](https://pypi.org/project/Authlib/) library, which must be installed
+as follows:
+
+ * The relevant libraries are included in the Docker images and Debian packages
+   provided by `matrix.org` so no further action is needed.
+
+ * If you installed Synapse into a virtualenv, run `/path/to/env/bin/pip
+   install synapse[oidc]` to install the necessary dependencies.
+
+ * For other installation mechanisms, see the documentation provided by the
+   maintainer.
+
+To enable the OpenID integration, you should then add an `oidc_config` section
+to your configuration file (or uncomment the `enabled: true` line in the
+existing section). See [sample_config.yaml](./sample_config.yaml) for some
+sample settings, as well as the text below for example configurations for
+specific providers.
+
+## Sample configs
+
+Here are a few configs for providers that should work with Synapse.
+
+### [Dex][dex-idp]
+
+[Dex][dex-idp] is a simple, open-source, certified OpenID Connect Provider.
+Although it is designed to help building a full-blown provider with an
+external database, it can be configured with static passwords in a config file.
+
+Follow the [Getting Started
+guide](https://github.com/dexidp/dex/blob/master/Documentation/getting-started.md)
+to install Dex.
+
+Edit `examples/config-dev.yaml` config file from the Dex repo to add a client:
+
+```yaml
+staticClients:
+- id: synapse
+  secret: secret
+  redirectURIs:
+  - '[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/oidc/callback'
+  name: 'Synapse'
+```
+
+Run with `dex serve examples/config-dex.yaml`.
+
+Synapse config:
+
+```yaml
+oidc_config:
+   enabled: true
+   skip_verification: true # This is needed as Dex is served on an insecure endpoint
+   issuer: "http://127.0.0.1:5556/dex"
+   client_id: "synapse"
+   client_secret: "secret"
+   scopes: ["openid", "profile"]
+   user_mapping_provider:
+     config:
+       localpart_template: "{{ user.name }}"
+       display_name_template: "{{ user.name|capitalize }}"
+```
+### [Keycloak][keycloak-idp]
+
+[Keycloak][keycloak-idp] is an opensource IdP maintained by Red Hat. 
+
+Follow the [Getting Started Guide](https://www.keycloak.org/getting-started) to install Keycloak and set up a realm.
+
+1. Click `Clients` in the sidebar and click `Create`
+
+2. Fill in the fields as below:

+| Enabled | `On` |
+| Client Protocol | `openid-connect` |
+| Access Type | `confidential` |
+| Valid Redirect URIs | `[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/oidc/callback` |
+
+5. Click `Save`
+6. On the Credentials tab, update the fields:
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| Client Authenticator | `Client ID and Secret` |
+
+7. Click `Regenerate Secret`
+8. Copy Secret
+
+```yaml
+oidc_config:

+   client_id: "synapse"
+   client_secret: "copy secret generated from above"
+   scopes: ["openid", "profile"]
+```
+### [Auth0][auth0]
+
+1. Create a regular web application for Synapse
+2. Set the Allowed Callback URLs to `[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/oidc/callback`
+3. Add a rule to add the `preferred_username` claim.
+   <details>
+    <summary>Code sample</summary>
+
+    ```js
+    function addPersistenceAttribute(user, context, callback) {
+      user.user_metadata = user.user_metadata || {};
+      user.user_metadata.preferred_username = user.user_metadata.preferred_username || user.user_id;
+      context.idToken.preferred_username = user.user_metadata.preferred_username;
+
+      auth0.users.updateUserMetadata(user.user_id, user.user_metadata)
+        .then(function(){
+            callback(null, user, context);
+        })
+        .catch(function(err){
+            callback(err);
+        });
+    }
+    ```

+   user_mapping_provider:
+     config:
+       localpart_template: "{{ user.preferred_username }}"
+       display_name_template: "{{ user.name }}"
+```
+
+### GitHub
+
+GitHub is a bit special as it is not an OpenID Connect compliant provider, but
+just a regular OAuth2 provider.
+
+The [`/user` API endpoint](https://developer.github.com/v3/users/#get-the-authenticated-user)
+can be used to retrieve information on the authenticated user. As the Synaspse
+login mechanism needs an attribute to uniquely identify users, and that endpoint
+does not return a `sub` property, an alternative `subject_claim` has to be set.
+
+1. Create a new OAuth application: https://github.com/settings/applications/new.
+2. Set the callback URL to `[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/oidc/callback`.
+
+Synapse config:
+
+```yaml
+oidc_config:
+   enabled: true
+   discover: false
+   issuer: "https://github.com/"
+   client_id: "your-client-id" # TO BE FILLED

+   authorization_endpoint: "https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize"
+   token_endpoint: "https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token"
+   userinfo_endpoint: "https://api.github.com/user"
+   scopes: ["read:user"]
+   user_mapping_provider:
+     config:
+       subject_claim: "id"
+       localpart_template: "{{ user.login }}"
+       display_name_template: "{{ user.name }}"
+```
+
+### [Google][google-idp]
+
+1. Set up a project in the Google API Console (see
+   https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/openid-connect#appsetup).
+2. add an "OAuth Client ID" for a Web Application under "Credentials".
+3. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret, and add the following to your synapse config:
+   ```yaml
+   oidc_config:
+     enabled: true
+     issuer: "https://accounts.google.com/"
+     client_id: "your-client-id" # TO BE FILLED
+     client_secret: "your-client-secret" # TO BE FILLED
+     scopes: ["openid", "profile"]
+     user_mapping_provider:
+       config:
+         localpart_template: "{{ user.given_name|lower }}"
+         display_name_template: "{{ user.name }}"
+   ```
+4. Back in the Google console, add this Authorized redirect URI: `[synapse
+   public baseurl]/_synapse/oidc/callback`.
+
+### Twitch
+
+1. Setup a developer account on [Twitch](https://dev.twitch.tv/)
+2. Obtain the OAuth 2.0 credentials by [creating an app](https://dev.twitch.tv/console/apps/)
+3. Add this OAuth Redirect URL: `[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/oidc/callback`
+
+Synapse config:
+
+```yaml
+oidc_config:
+   enabled: true
+   issuer: "https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/"

-# SAML Mapping Providers
-
-A SAML mapping provider is a Python class (loaded via a Python module) that
-works out how to map attributes of a SAML response object to Matrix-specific
-user attributes. Details such as user ID localpart, displayname, and even avatar
-URLs are all things that can be mapped from talking to a SSO service.
-
-As an example, a SSO service may return the email address
-"john.smith@example.com" for a user, whereas Synapse will need to figure out how
-to turn that into a displayname when creating a Matrix user for this individual.
-It may choose `John Smith`, or `Smith, John [Example.com]` or any number of
-variations. As each Synapse configuration may want something different, this is
-where SAML mapping providers come into play.
-
-## Enabling Providers
-
-External mapping providers are provided to Synapse in the form of an external
-Python module. Retrieve this module from [PyPi](https://pypi.org) or elsewhere,
-then tell Synapse where to look for the handler class by editing the
-`saml2_config.user_mapping_provider.module` config option.
-
-`saml2_config.user_mapping_provider.config` allows you to provide custom
-configuration options to the module. Check with the module's documentation for
-what options it provides (if any). The options listed by default are for the
-user mapping provider built in to Synapse. If using a custom module, you should
-comment these options out and use those specified by the module instead.
-
-## Building a Custom Mapping Provider
-
-A custom mapping provider must specify the following methods:
-
-* `__init__(self, parsed_config)`
-   - Arguments:
-     - `parsed_config` - A configuration object that is the return value of the
-       `parse_config` method. You should set any configuration options needed by
-       the module here.
-* `saml_response_to_user_attributes(self, saml_response, failures)`
-    - Arguments:
-      - `saml_response` - A `saml2.response.AuthnResponse` object to extract user
-                          information from.
-      - `failures` - An `int` that represents the amount of times the returned
-                     mxid localpart mapping has failed.  This should be used
-                     to create a deduplicated mxid localpart which should be
-                     returned instead. For example, if this method returns
-                     `john.doe` as the value of `mxid_localpart` in the returned
-                     dict, and that is already taken on the homeserver, this
-                     method will be called again with the same parameters but
-                     with failures=1. The method should then return a different
-                     `mxid_localpart` value, such as `john.doe1`.
-    - This method must return a dictionary, which will then be used by Synapse
-      to build a new user. The following keys are allowed:

-    - This method should have the `@staticmethod` decoration.
-    - Arguments:
-        - `config` - A object resulting from a call to `parse_config`.
-    - Returns a tuple of two sets. The first set equates to the saml auth
-      response attributes that are required for the module to function, whereas
-      the second set consists of those attributes which can be used if available,
-      but are not necessary.

+# SSO Mapping Providers
+
+A mapping provider is a Python class (loaded via a Python module) that
+works out how to map attributes of a SSO response to Matrix-specific
+user attributes. Details such as user ID localpart, displayname, and even avatar
+URLs are all things that can be mapped from talking to a SSO service.
+
+As an example, a SSO service may return the email address
+"john.smith@example.com" for a user, whereas Synapse will need to figure out how
+to turn that into a displayname when creating a Matrix user for this individual.
+It may choose `John Smith`, or `Smith, John [Example.com]` or any number of
+variations. As each Synapse configuration may want something different, this is
+where SAML mapping providers come into play.
+
+SSO mapping providers are currently supported for OpenID and SAML SSO
+configurations. Please see the details below for how to implement your own.
+
+External mapping providers are provided to Synapse in the form of an external
+Python module. You can retrieve this module from [PyPi](https://pypi.org) or elsewhere,
+but it must be importable via Synapse (e.g. it must be in the same virtualenv
+as Synapse). The Synapse config is then modified to point to the mapping provider
+(and optionally provide additional configuration for it).
+
+## OpenID Mapping Providers
+
+The OpenID mapping provider can be customized by editing the
+`oidc_config.user_mapping_provider.module` config option.
+
+`oidc_config.user_mapping_provider.config` allows you to provide custom
+configuration options to the module. Check with the module's documentation for
+what options it provides (if any). The options listed by default are for the
+user mapping provider built in to Synapse. If using a custom module, you should
+comment these options out and use those specified by the module instead.
+
+### Building a Custom OpenID Mapping Provider
+
+A custom mapping provider must specify the following methods:
+
+* `__init__(self, parsed_config)`
+   - Arguments:
+     - `parsed_config` - A configuration object that is the return value of the
+       `parse_config` method. You should set any configuration options needed by
+       the module here.
+* `parse_config(config)`
+    - This method should have the `@staticmethod` decoration.
+    - Arguments:
+        - `config` - A `dict` representing the parsed content of the
+          `oidc_config.user_mapping_provider.config` homeserver config option.
+           Runs on homeserver startup. Providers should extract and validate
+           any option values they need here.
+    - Whatever is returned will be passed back to the user mapping provider module's
+      `__init__` method during construction.
+* `get_remote_user_id(self, userinfo)`
+    - Arguments:
+      - `userinfo` - A `authlib.oidc.core.claims.UserInfo` object to extract user
+                     information from.
+    - This method must return a string, which is the unique identifier for the
+      user. Commonly the ``sub`` claim of the response.
+* `map_user_attributes(self, userinfo, token)`
+    - This method should be async.
+    - Arguments:
+      - `userinfo` - A `authlib.oidc.core.claims.UserInfo` object to extract user
+                     information from.
+      - `token` - A dictionary which includes information necessary to make
+                  further requests to the OpenID provider.
+    - Returns a dictionary with two keys:
+      - localpart: A required string, used to generate the Matrix ID.
+      - displayname: An optional string, the display name for the user.
+
+### Default OpenID Mapping Provider
+
+Synapse has a built-in OpenID mapping provider if a custom provider isn't
+specified in the config. It is located at
+[`synapse.handlers.oidc_handler.JinjaOidcMappingProvider`](../synapse/handlers/oidc_handler.py).
+
+## SAML Mapping Providers
+
+The SAML mapping provider can be customized by editing the
+`saml2_config.user_mapping_provider.module` config option.
+
+`saml2_config.user_mapping_provider.config` allows you to provide custom
+configuration options to the module. Check with the module's documentation for
+what options it provides (if any). The options listed by default are for the
+user mapping provider built in to Synapse. If using a custom module, you should
+comment these options out and use those specified by the module instead.
+
+### Building a Custom SAML Mapping Provider
+
+A custom mapping provider must specify the following methods:
+
+* `__init__(self, parsed_config)`
+   - Arguments:
+     - `parsed_config` - A configuration object that is the return value of the
+       `parse_config` method. You should set any configuration options needed by
+       the module here.
+* `parse_config(config)`
+    - This method should have the `@staticmethod` decoration.
+    - Arguments:
+        - `config` - A `dict` representing the parsed content of the
+          `saml_config.user_mapping_provider.config` homeserver config option.
+           Runs on homeserver startup. Providers should extract and validate
+           any option values they need here.
+    - Whatever is returned will be passed back to the user mapping provider module's
+      `__init__` method during construction.
+* `get_saml_attributes(config)`
+    - This method should have the `@staticmethod` decoration.
+    - Arguments:
+        - `config` - A object resulting from a call to `parse_config`.
+    - Returns a tuple of two sets. The first set equates to the SAML auth
+      response attributes that are required for the module to function, whereas
+      the second set consists of those attributes which can be used if available,
+      but are not necessary.
+* `get_remote_user_id(self, saml_response, client_redirect_url)`
+    - Arguments:
+      - `saml_response` - A `saml2.response.AuthnResponse` object to extract user
+                          information from.
+      - `client_redirect_url` - A string, the URL that the client will be
+                                redirected to.
+    - This method must return a string, which is the unique identifier for the
+      user. Commonly the ``uid`` claim of the response.
+* `saml_response_to_user_attributes(self, saml_response, failures, client_redirect_url)`
+    - Arguments:
+      - `saml_response` - A `saml2.response.AuthnResponse` object to extract user
+                          information from.
+      - `failures` - An `int` that represents the amount of times the returned
+                     mxid localpart mapping has failed.  This should be used
+                     to create a deduplicated mxid localpart which should be
+                     returned instead. For example, if this method returns
+                     `john.doe` as the value of `mxid_localpart` in the returned
+                     dict, and that is already taken on the homeserver, this
+                     method will be called again with the same parameters but
+                     with failures=1. The method should then return a different
+                     `mxid_localpart` value, such as `john.doe1`.
+      - `client_redirect_url` - A string, the URL that the client will be
+                                redirected to.
+    - This method must return a dictionary, which will then be used by Synapse
+      to build a new user. The following keys are allowed:
+       * `mxid_localpart` - Required. The mxid localpart of the new user.
+       * `displayname` - The displayname of the new user. If not provided, will default to
+                         the value of `mxid_localpart`.
+       * `emails` - A list of emails for the new user. If not provided, will
+                    default to an empty list.
+
+### Default SAML Mapping Provider
+
+Synapse has a built-in SAML mapping provider if a custom provider isn't
+specified in the config. It is located at
+[`synapse.handlers.saml_handler.DefaultSamlMappingProvider`](../synapse/handlers/saml_handler.py).

+# Setting up Synapse with Workers and Systemd
+
+This is a setup for managing synapse with systemd, including support for
+managing workers. It provides a `matrix-synapse` service for the master, as
+well as a `matrix-synapse-worker@` service template for any workers you
+require. Additionally, to group the required services, it sets up a
+`matrix-synapse.target`.
+
+See the folder [system](system) for the systemd unit files.
+
+The folder [workers](workers) contains an example configuration for the
+`federation_reader` worker.
+
+## Synapse configuration files
+
+See [workers.md](../workers.md) for information on how to set up the
+configuration files and reverse-proxy correctly. You can find an example worker
+config in the [workers](workers) folder.
+
+Systemd manages daemonization itself, so ensure that none of the configuration
+files set either `daemonize` or `worker_daemonize`.
+
+The config files of all workers are expected to be located in
+`/etc/matrix-synapse/workers`. If you want to use a different location, edit
+the provided `*.service` files accordingly.
+
+There is no need for a separate configuration file for the master process.
+
+## Set up
+
+1. Adjust synapse configuration files as above.
+1. Copy the `*.service` and `*.target` files in [system](system) to
+`/etc/systemd/system`.
+1. Run `systemctl deamon-reload` to tell systemd to load the new unit files.
+1. Run `systemctl enable matrix-synapse.service`. This will configure the
+synapse master process to be started as part of the `matrix-synapse.target`
+target.
+1. For each worker process to be enabled, run `systemctl enable
+matrix-synapse-worker@<worker_name>.service`. For each `<worker_name>`, there
+should be a corresponding configuration file
+`/etc/matrix-synapse/workers/<worker_name>.yaml`.
+1. Start all the synapse processes with `systemctl start matrix-synapse.target`.
+1. Tell systemd to start synapse on boot with `systemctl enable matrix-synapse.target`/
+
+## Usage
+
+Once the services are correctly set up, you can use the following commands
+to manage your synapse installation:
+
+```sh
+# Restart Synapse master and all workers
+systemctl restart matrix-synapse.target
+
+# Stop Synapse and all workers
+systemctl stop matrix-synapse.target
+
+# Restart the master alone
+systemctl start matrix-synapse.service
+
+# Restart a specific worker (eg. federation_reader); the master is
+# unaffected by this.
+systemctl restart matrix-synapse-worker@federation_reader.service
+
+# Add a new worker (assuming all configs are set up already)
+systemctl enable matrix-synapse-worker@federation_writer.service
+systemctl restart matrix-synapse.target

+[systemd-with-workers](systemd-with-workers). To use `synctl`, see below.
+
+### **Experimental** support for replication over redis
+
+As of Synapse v1.13.0, it is possible to configure Synapse to send replication
+via a [Redis pub/sub channel](https://redis.io/topics/pubsub). This is an
+alternative to direct TCP connections to the master: rather than all the
+workers connecting to the master, all the workers and the master connect to
+Redis, which relays replication commands between processes. This can give a
+significant cpu saving on the master and will be a prerequisite for upcoming
+performance improvements.
+
+Note that this support is currently experimental; you may experience lost
+messages and similar problems! It is strongly recommended that admins setting
+up workers for the first time use direct TCP replication as above.
+
+To configure Synapse to use Redis:
+
+1. Install Redis following the normal procedure for your distribution - for
+   example, on Debian, `apt install redis-server`. (It is safe to use an
+   existing Redis deployment if you have one: we use a pub/sub stream named
+   according to the `server_name` of your synapse server.)
+2. Check Redis is running and accessible: you should be able to `echo PING | nc -q1
+   localhost 6379` and get a response of `+PONG`.
+3. Install the python prerequisites. If you installed synapse into a
+   virtualenv, this can be done with:
+   ```sh
+   pip install matrix-synapse[redis]
+   ```
+   The debian packages from matrix.org already include the required
+   dependencies.
+4. Add config to the shared configuration (`homeserver.yaml`):
+    ```yaml
+    redis:
+      enabled: true
+    ```
+    Optional parameters which can go alongside `enabled` are `host`, `port`,
+    `password`. Normally none of these are required.
+5. Restart master and all workers.
+
+Once redis replication is in use, `worker_replication_port` is redundant and
+can be removed from the worker configuration files. Similarly, the
+configuration for the `listener` for the TCP replication port can be removed
+from the main configuration file. Note that the HTTP replication port is
+still required.
+
+### Using synctl
+
+If you want to use `synctl` to manage your synapse processes, you will need to
+create an an additional configuration file for the master synapse process. That
+configuration should look like this:
+
+```yaml
+worker_app: synapse.app.homeserver
+```
+
+Additionally, each worker app must be configured with the name of a "pid file",
+to which it will write its process ID when it starts. For example, for a
+synchrotron, you might write:
+
+```yaml
+worker_pid_file: /home/matrix/synapse/synchrotron.pid
+```
+
+Finally, to actually run your worker-based synapse, you must pass synctl the `-a`
 commandline option to tell it to operate on all the worker configurations found
