==============================
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix duplication of events on high traffic servers, caused by PostgreSQL `could not serialize access due to concurrent update` errors. ([\#8456](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8456))
Internal Changes
----------------
- Add Groovy Gorilla to the list of distributions we build `.deb`s for. ([\#8475](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8475))
Added shields directing to synapse-dev room, showing license, latest version on PyPi and supported Python versions.
I've moved substitution definitions to the bottom to improve readability.

We call `_update_stream_positions_table_txn` a lot, which is an UPSERT
that can conflict in `REPEATABLE READ` isolation level. Instead of doing
a transaction consisting of a single query we may as well run it outside
of a transaction.

Currently when using multiple event persisters we (in the worst case) don't tell clients about events until all event persisters have persisted new events after the original event. This is a suboptimal, especially if one of the event persisters goes down.
To handle this, we encode the position of each event persister in the room tokens so that we can send events to clients immediately. To reduce the size of the token we do two things:
1. We create a unique immutable persistent mapping between instance names and a generated small integer ID, which we can encode in the tokens instead of the instance name; and
2. We encode the "persisted upto position" of the room token and then only explicitly include instances that have positions strictly greater than that.
The new tokens look something like: `m3478~1.3488~2.3489`, where the first number is the min position, and the subsequent `-` separated pairs are the instance ID to positions map. (We use `.` and `~` as separators as they're URL safe and not already used by `StreamToken`).
It seems most of these blacklisted tests do actually pass most of the time.
I'm of the opinion that having them blacklisted here means there is very little incentive for us to deflake any flaky tests, and meanwhile any value in those tests is completely lost.
Lots of different module apis is not easy to maintain.
Rather than adding yet another ModuleApi(hs, hs.get_auth_handler()) incantation, first add an hs.get_module_api() method and use it where possible.
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docs/sphinx doesn't seem to really be utilised or changed recently since the initial commit. I like the idea of exportable documentation of the codebase, but at the moment after running through the build instructions the generated website wasn't very useful...
* Optimise and test state fetching for 3p event rules
Getting all the events at once is much more efficient than getting them
individually
* Test that 3p event rules can modify events
PR #8292 tried to maintain backwards compat with modules which don't provide a
`check_visibility_can_be_modified` method, but the tests weren't being run,
and the check didn't work.
This PR allows `ThirdPartyEventRules` modules to view, manipulate and block changes to the state of whether a room is published in the public rooms directory.
While the idea of whether a room is in the public rooms list is not kept within an event in the room, `ThirdPartyEventRules` generally deal with controlling which modifications can happen to a room. Public rooms fits within that idea, even if its toggle state isn't controlled through a state event.
There's no need for it to be in the dict as well as the events table. Instead,
we store it in a separate attribute in the EventInternalMetadata object, and
populate that on load.
This means that we can rely on it being correctly populated for any event which
has been persited to the database.
This is so we can tell what is going on when things are taking a while to start up.
The main change here is to ensure that transactions that are created during startup get correctly logged like normal transactions.
#7124 changed the behaviour of remote thumbnails so that the thumbnailing method was included in the filename of the thumbnail. To support existing files, it included a fallback so that we would check the old filename if the new filename didn't exist.
Unfortunately, it didn't apply this logic to storage providers, so any thumbnails stored on such a storage provider was broken.
For negative streams we have to negate the internal stream ID before
querying the DB.
The effect of this bug was to query far too many rows, slowing start up
time, but we would correctly filter the results afterwards so there was
no ill effect.
This converts a few more of our inline HTML templates to Jinja. This is somewhat part of #7280 and should make it a bit easier to customize these in the future.
The idea is that in future tokens will encode a mapping of instance to position. However, we don't want to include the full instance name in the string representation, so instead we'll have a mapping between instance name and an immutable integer ID in the DB that we can use instead. We'll then do the lookup when we serialize/deserialize the token (we could alternatively pass around an `Instance` type that includes both the name and ID, but that turns out to be a lot more invasive).
This was a bit unweildy for what I wanted: in particular, I wanted to assign
each measurement straight into a bucket, rather than storing an intermediate
Counter which didn't do any bucketing at all.
I've replaced it with something that is hopefully a bit easier to use.
(I'm not entirely sure what the difference between a HistogramMetricFamily and
a GaugeHistogramMetricFamily is, but given our counters can go down as well as
up the latter *sounds* more accurate?)
Our hacked-up `_exposition.py` was stripping out some samples it shouldn't
have been. Put them back in, to more closely match the upstream
`exposition.py`.
* Don't check whether a 3pid is allowed to register during password reset
This endpoint should only deal with emails that have already been approved, and
are attached with user's account. There's no need to re-check them here.
* Changelog
* Fix table scan of events on worker startup.
This happened because we assumed "new" writers had an initial stream
position of 0, so the replication code tried to fetch all events written
by the instance between 0 and the current position.
Instead, set the initial position of new writers to the current
persisted up to position, on the assumption that new writers won't have
written anything before that point.
* Consider old writers coming back as "new".
Otherwise we'd try and fetch entries between the old stale token and the
current position, even though it won't have written any rows.

This PR adds a script that:
* Builds the local Synapse checkout using our existing `docker/Dockerfile` image.
* Downloads [Complement](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement/)'s source code.
* Builds the [Synapse.Dockerfile](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement/blob/master/dockerfiles/Synapse.Dockerfile) using the above dockerfile as a base.
* Builds and runs Complement against it.
This set up differs slightly from [that of the dendrite repo](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/blob/master/build/scripts/complement.sh) (`complement.sh`, `Complement.Dockerfile`), which instead stores a separate, but slightly modified, dockerfile in Dendrite's repo rather than running the one stored in Complement's repo. That synapse equivalent to that dockerfile (`Synapse.Dockerfile`) in Complement's repo is just based on top of `matrixdotorg/synapse:latest`, which we opt to build here locally.
Thus copying over the files from Complement's repo wouldn't change any functionality, and would result in two instances of the same files. So just using the dockerfile in Complement's repo was decided upon instead.
Broken in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8275 and has yet to be put in a release. Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8418.
`next_link` is an optional parameter. However, we were checking whether the `next_link` param was valid, even if it wasn't provided. In that case, `next_link` was `None`, which would clearly not be a valid URL.
This would prevent password reset and other operations if `next_link` was not provided, and the `next_link_domain_whitelist` config option was set.
* Remove `on_timeout_cancel` from `timeout_deferred`
The `on_timeout_cancel` param to `timeout_deferred` wasn't always called on a
timeout (in particular if the canceller raised an exception), so it was
unreliable. It was also only used in one place, and to be honest it's easier to
do what it does a different way.
* Fix handling of connection timeouts in outgoing http requests
Turns out that if we get a timeout during connection, then a different
exception is raised, which wasn't always handled correctly.
To fix it, catch the exception in SimpleHttpClient and turn it into a
RequestTimedOutError (which is already a documented exception).
Also add a description to RequestTimedOutError so that we can see which stage
it failed at.
* Fix incorrect handling of timeouts reading federation responses
This was trapping the wrong sort of TimeoutError, so was never being hit.
The effect was relatively minor, but we should fix this so that it does the
expected thing.
* Fix inconsistent handling of `timeout` param between methods
`get_json`, `put_json` and `delete_json` were applying a different timeout to
the response body to `post_json`; bring them in line and test.

* Fix test_verify_json_objects_for_server_awaits_previous_requests
It turns out that this wasn't really testing what it thought it was testing
(in particular, `check_context` was turning failures into success, which was
making the tests pass even though it wasn't clear they should have been.
It was also somewhat overcomplex - we can test what it was trying to test
without mocking out perspectives servers.

We need to make sure that we finish the key fetching magic before we run the
verifying code, to ensure that we don't mess up our logcontexts.

This adds configuration flags that will match a user to pre-existing users
when logging in via OpenID Connect. This is useful when switching to
an existing SSO system.
On startup `MultiWriteIdGenerator` fetches the maximum stream ID for
each instance from the table and uses that as its initial "current
position" for each writer. This is problematic as a) it involves either
a scan of events table or an index (neither of which is ideal), and b)
if rows are being persisted out of order elsewhere while the process
restarts then using the maximum stream ID is not correct. This could
theoretically lead to race conditions where e.g. events that are
persisted out of order are not sent down sync streams.
We fix this by creating a new table that tracks the current positions of
each writer to the stream, and update it each time we finish persisting
a new entry. This is a relatively small overhead when persisting events.
However for the cache invalidation stream this is a much bigger relative
overhead, so instead we note that for invalidation we don't actually
care about reliability over restarts (as there's no caches to
invalidate) and simply don't bother reading and writing to the new table
in that particular case.
#8037 changed the default `autoescape` option when rendering Jinja2 templates from `False` to `True`. This caused some bugs, noticeably around redirect URLs being escaped in SAML2 auth confirmation templates, causing those URLs to break for users.
This change returns the previous behaviour as it stood. We may want to look at each template individually and see whether autoescaping is a good idea at some point, but for now lets just fix the breakage.
The idea is to remove some of the places we pass around `int`, where it can represent one of two things:
1. the position of an event in the stream; or
2. a token that partitions the stream, used as part of the stream tokens.
The valid operations are then:
1. did a position happen before or after a token;
2. get all events that happened before or after a token; and
3. get all events between two tokens.
(Note that we don't want to allow other operations as we want to change the tokens to be vector clocks rather than simple ints)
I'd like to get a better insight into what we are doing with respect to state
res. The list of state groups we are resolving across should be short (if it
isn't, that's a massive problem in itself), so it should be fine to log it in
ite entiretly.
I've done some grepping and found approximately zero cases in which the
"shortcut" code delivered the result, so I've ripped that out too.
When updating the `room_stats_state` table, we try to check for null bytes slipping in to the content for state events. It turns out we had added `guest_access` as a field to room_stats_state without including it in the null byte check.
Lo and behold, a null byte in a `m.room.guest_access` event then breaks `room_stats_state` updates.
This PR adds the check for `guest_access`.
This change adds a note and a few lines of configuration settings for Apache users to disable ModSecurity for Synapse's virtual hosts. With ModSecurity enabled and running with its default settings, Matrix clients are unable to send chat messages through the Synapse installation. With this change, ModSecurity can be disabled only for the Synapse virtual hosts.

This is a bit of a hack, as `_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch` is intended
for attempting to pull an event from the database/(re)pull it from the
server that originally sent the event if checking the signature of the
event fails.
During backfill we *know* that we won't have the event in our database,
however it is still useful to be able to query the original sending
server as the server we're backfilling from may be acting maliciously.
The main benefit and reason for this change however is that
`_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch` will drop an event during backfill if
it cannot be successfully validated, whereas the current code will
simply fail the backfill request - resulting in the client's /messages
request silently being dropped.
This is a quick patch to fix backfilling rooms that contain malformed
events. A better implementation in planned in future.
Instead of just using the most recent extremities let's pick the
ones that will give us results that the pagination request cares about,
i.e. pick extremities only if they have a smaller depth than the
pagination token.
This is useful when we fail to backfill an extremity, as we no longer
get stuck requesting that same extremity repeatedly.
Synapse 1.20.0rc4 (2020-09-16)
==============================
Synapse 1.20.0rc4 is identical to 1.20.0rc3, with the addition of the security fix that was included in 1.19.2.
slots use less memory (and attribute access is faster) while slightly
limiting the flexibility of the class attributes. This focuses on objects
which are instantiated "often" and for short periods of time.
This is *not* ready for production yet. Caveats:
1. We should write some tests...
2. The stream token that we use for events can get stalled at the minimum position of all writers. This means that new events may not be processed and e.g. sent down sync streams if a writer isn't writing or is slow.

This PR adds a information about forwarding `/_synapse/client` endpoints through your reverse proxy. The first of these endpoints are introduced in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8004.
The idea here is that we pass the `max_stream_id` to everything, and only use the stream ID of the particular event to figure out *when* the max stream position has caught up to the event and we can notify people about it.
This is to maintain the distinction between the position of an item in the stream (i.e. event A has stream ID 513) and a token that can be used to partition the stream (i.e. give me all events after stream ID 352). This distinction becomes important when the tokens are more complicated than a single number, which they will be once we start tracking the position of multiple writers in the tokens.
The valid operations here are:
1. Is a position before or after a token
2. Fetching all events between two tokens
3. Merging multiple tokens to get the "max", i.e. `C = max(A, B)` means that for all positions P where P is before A *or* before B, then P is before C.
Future PR will change the token type to a dedicated type.
This PR adds a confirmation step to resetting your user password between clicking the link in your email and your password actually being reset.
This is to better align our password reset flow with the industry standard of requiring a confirmation from the user after email validation.
If a file cannot be thumbnailed for some reason (e.g. the file is empty), then
catch the exception and convert it to a reasonable error message for the client.
`pusher_pool.on_new_notifications` expected a min and max stream ID, however that was not what we were passing in. Instead, let's just pass it the current max stream ID and have it track the last stream ID it got passed.
I believe that it mostly worked as we called the function for every event. However, it would break for events that got persisted out of order, i.e, that were persisted but the max stream ID wasn't incremented as not all preceding events had finished persisting, and push for that event would be delayed until another event got pushed to the effected users.
This fixes an issue where different methods (crop/scale) overwrite each other.
This first tries the new path. If that fails and we are looking for a
remote thumbnail, it tries the old path. If that still isn't found, it
continues as normal.
This should probably be removed in the future, after some of the newer
thumbnails were generated with the new path on most deployments. Then
the overhead should be minimal if the other thumbnails need to be
regenerated.

The intention here is to change `StreamToken.room_key` to be a `RoomStreamToken` in a future PR, but that is a big enough change without this refactoring too.
This is a config option ported over from DINUM's Sydent: https://github.com/matrix-org/sydent/pull/285
They've switched to validating 3PIDs via Synapse rather than Sydent, and would like to retain this functionality.
This original purpose for this change is phishing prevention. This solution could also potentially be replaced by a similar one to https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8004, but across all `*/submit_token` endpoint.
This option may still be useful to enterprise even with that safeguard in place though, if they want to be absolutely sure that their employees don't follow links to other domains.
This removes `SourcePaginationConfig` and `get_pagination_rows`. The reasoning behind this is that these generic classes/functions erased the types of the IDs it used (i.e. instead of passing around `StreamToken` it'd pass in e.g. `token.room_key`, which don't have uniform types).
By importing from canonicaljson the simplejson module was still being used
in some situations. After this change the std lib json is consistenty used
throughout Synapse.
Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8238
Alongside the delta file, some changes were also necessary to the codebase to remove references to the now defunct `populate_stats_process_rooms_2` background job. Thankfully the latter doesn't seem to have made it into any documentation yet :)

* Move `get_devices_with_keys_by_user` to `EndToEndKeyWorkerStore`
this seems a better fit for it.
This commit simply moves the existing code: no other changes at all.
* Rename `get_devices_with_keys_by_user`

* get_device_stream_token abstract method
To avoid referencing fields which are declared in the derived classes, make
`get_device_stream_token` abstract, and define that in the classes which define
`_device_list_id_gen`.
... and to show that it does something slightly different to
`_get_e2e_device_keys_txn`.
`include_all_devices` and `include_deleted_devices` were never used (and
`include_deleted_devices` was broken, since that would cause `None`s in the
result which were not handled in the loop below.
Add some typing too.
This fixes a bug where having multiple callers waiting on the same
stream and position will cause it to try and compare two deferreds,
which fails (due to the sorted list having an entry of `Tuple[int,
Deferred]`).
This is split out from https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/7438, which had gotten rather large.
`LoginRestServlet` has a couple helper methods, `login_submission_legacy_convert` and `login_id_thirdparty_from_phone`. They're primarily used for converting legacy user login submissions to "identifier" dicts ([see spec](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#post-matrix-client-r0-login)). Identifying information such as usernames or 3PID information used to be top-level in the login body. They're now supposed to be put inside an [identifier](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#identifier-types) parameter instead.
#7438's purpose is to allow using the new identifier parameter during User-Interactive Authentication, which is currently handled in AuthHandler. That's why I've moved these helper methods there. I also moved the refactoring of these method from #7438 as they're relevant.
This ensures systemctl start matrix-synapse returns only after synapse
is actually started, which is very useful for automated deployments.

Synapse 1.20.1 (2020-09-24)
===========================
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.20.0 which caused the `synapse_port_db` script to fail. ([\#8386](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8386))
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.20.0 which caused variables to be incorrectly escaped in Jinja2 templates. ([\#8394](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8394))
(`:`) 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](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6766).
Historically, the [Synapse Admin
API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/docs) has been
accessible under the `/_matrix/client/api/v1/admin`,
`/_matrix/client/unstable/admin`, `/_matrix/client/r0/admin` and
`/_synapse/admin` prefixes. 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.

Synapse 1.20.0rc1 (2020-09-08)
==============================
Removal warning
---------------
Some older clients used a [disallowed character](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#post-matrix-client-r0-register-email-requesttoken) (`:`) 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](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6766).

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.
Updated documentation to note that Synapse does not follow `HTTP 308` redirects due to an upstream library not supporting them. Contributed by Ryan Cole.
Fix incremental sync returning an incorrect `prev_batch` token in timeline section, which when used to paginate returned events that were included in the incremental sync. Broken since v0.16.0.
This API deactivates an account. It removes active access tokens, resets the
password, and deletes third-party IDs (to prevent the user requesting a
password reset). It can also mark the user as GDPR-erased (stopping their data
from distributed further, and deleting it entirely if there are no other
references to it).

It can also mark the user as GDPR-erased. This means messages sent by the
user will still be visible by anyone that was in the room when these messages
were sent, but hidden from users joining the room afterwards.
