Before Synapse 1.31 (#9411), we relied on `outlier` being stored in the
`internal_metadata` column. We can now assume nobody will roll back their
deployment that far and drop the legacy support.
* Inline `_check_event_auth` for outliers
When we are persisting an outlier, most of `_check_event_auth` is redundant:
* `_update_auth_events_and_context_for_auth` does nothing, because the
`input_auth_events` are (now) exactly the event's auth_events,
which means that `missing_auth` is empty.
* we don't care about soft-fail, kicking guest users or `send_on_behalf_of`
for outliers
... so the only thing that matters is the auth itself, so let's just do that.
* `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events_inner`: de-async `prep`
`prep` no longer calls any `async` methods, so let's make it synchronous.
* Simplify `_check_event_auth`
We no longer need to support outliers here, which makes things rather simpler.
* changelog
* lint
Currently we use `JsonEncoder.iterencode` to write JSON responses, which ensures that we don't block the main reactor thread when encoding huge objects. The downside to this is that `iterencode` falls back to using a pure Python encoder that is *much* less efficient and can easily burn a lot of CPU for huge responses. To fix this, while still ensuring we don't block the reactor loop, we encode the JSON on a threadpool using the standard `JsonEncoder.encode` functions, which is backed by a C library.
Doing so, however, requires `respond_with_json` to have access to the reactor, which it previously didn't. There are two ways of doing this:
1. threading through the reactor object, which is a bit fiddly as e.g. `DirectServeJsonResource` doesn't currently take a reactor, but is exposed to modules and so is a PITA to change; or
2. expose the reactor in `SynapseRequest`, which requires updating a bunch of servlet types.
I went with the latter as that is just a mechanical change, and I think makes sense as a request already has a reactor associated with it (via its http channel).
This is in the context of creating new module callbacks that modules in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-dinsic can use, in an effort to reconcile the spam checker API in synapse-dinsic with the one in mainline.
This adds a callback that's fairly similar to user_may_create_room except it also allows processing based on the invites sent at room creation.
- Use sytest:bionic. Sytest:latest is two years old (do we want
CI to push out latest at all?) and comes with Python 3.5, which we
explictly no longer support. The script now runs under PostgreSQL 10
as a result.
- Advertise script in the docs
- Move pg testing script to scripts-dev directory
- Write to host as the script's exector, not root
A few changes to make it speedier to re-run the tests:
- Create blank DB in the container, not the script, so we don't have to
`initdb` each time
- Use a named volume to persist the tox environment, so we don't have to
fetch and install a bunch of packages from PyPI each time

* Factor more stuff out of `_get_events_and_persist`
It turns out that the event-sorting algorithm in `_get_events_and_persist` is
also useful in other circumstances. Here we move the current
`_auth_and_persist_fetched_events` to `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events_inner`,
and then factor the sorting part out to `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events`.
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: remove redundant `outlier` assignment
`get_event_auth` returns events with the outlier flag already set, so this is
redundant (though we need to update a test where `get_event_auth` is mocked).
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: move existing-event tests earlier
Move a couple of tests outside the loop. This is a bit inefficient for now, but
a future commit will make it better. It should be functionally identical.
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: use `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events`
We can use the same codepath for persisting the events fetched as part of an
auth chain as for those fetched individually by `_get_events_and_persist` for
building the state at a backwards extremity.
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: use a dict for efficiency
`_auth_and_persist_fetched_events` sorts the events itself, so we no longer
need to care about maintaining the ordering from `get_event_auth` (and no
longer need to sort by depth in `get_event_auth`).
That means that we can use a map, making it easier to filter out events we
already have, etc.
* changelog
* `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events`: improve docstring
Combine the two loops over the list of events, and hence get rid of
`_NewEventInfo`. Also pass the event back alongside the context, so that it's
easier to process the result.
If the MAU count had been reached, Synapse incorrectly blocked appservice users even though they've been explicitly configured not to be tracked (the default). This was due to bypassing the relevant if as it was chained behind another earlier hit if as an elif.

* Improve typing in user_directory files
This makes the user_directory.py in storage pass most of mypy's

tangled web of Store class inheritance so doesn't pass mypy at the moment.
The handlers directory has already been mypyed.

* Reload auth events from db after fetching and persisting
In `_update_auth_events_and_context_for_auth`, when we fetch the remote auth
tree and persist the returned events: load the missing events from the database
rather than using the copies we got from the remote server.
This is mostly in preparation for additional refactors, but does have an
advantage in that if we later get around to checking the rejected status, we'll
be able to make use of it.
* Factor out `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event` from `_update_auth_events_and_context_for_auth`
* changelog
This avoids the overhead of searching through the various
configuration classes by directly referencing the class that
the attributes are in.
It also improves type hints since mypy can now resolve the
types of the configuration variables.
Constructing an EventContext for an outlier is actually really simple, and
there's no sense in going via an `async` method in the `StateHandler`.
This also means that we can resolve a bunch of FIXMEs.

* Improved titles (fall back to the author name if there's not title) and include the site name.
* Handle photo/video payloads.
* Include the original URL in the Open Graph response.
* Fix the expiration time (by properly converting from seconds to milliseconds).
The deprecated /initialSync endpoint maintains a cache of responses,
using parameter values as part of the cache key. When a `from` or `to`
parameter is specified, it gets converted into a `StreamToken`, which
contains a `RoomStreamToken` and forms part of the cache key.
`RoomStreamToken`s need to be made hashable for this to work.
I meant to do this before, in #10591, but because I'm stupid I forgot to do it
for V2 and V3 events.
I've factored the common code out to `EventBase` to save us having two copies
of it.
This means that for `FrozenEvent` we replace `self.get("event_id", None)` with
`self.event_id`, which I think is safe. `get()` is an alias for
`self._dict.get()`, whereas `event_id()` is an `@property` method which looks
up `self._event_id`, which is populated during construction from the same
dict. We don't seem to rely on the fallback, because if the `event_id` key is
absent from the dict then construction of the `EventBase` object will
fail.
Long story short, the only way this could change behaviour is if
`event_dict["event_id"]` is changed *after* the `EventBase` object is
constructed without updating the `_event_id` field, or vice versa - either of
which would be very problematic anyway and the behavior of `str(event)` is the
least of our worries.
The major change is moving the decision of whether to use oEmbed
further up the call-stack. This reverts the _download_url method to
being a "dumb" functionwhich takes a single URL and downloads it
(as it was before #7920).
This also makes more minor refactorings:
* Renames internal variables for clarity.
* Factors out shared code between the HTML and rich oEmbed
previews.

It's a simplification, but one that'll help make the user directory logic easier
to follow with the other changes upcoming. It's not strictly required for those
changes, but this will help simplify the resulting logic that listens for
`m.room.member` events and generally make the logic easier to follow.
This means the config option `search_all_users` ends up controlling the
search query only, and not the data we store. The cost of doing so is an
extra row in the `user_directory` and `user_directory_search` tables for
each local user which
- belongs to no public rooms
- belongs to no private rooms of size ≥ 2
I think the cost of this will be marginal (since they'll already have entries
in `users` and `profiles` anyway).
As a small upside, a homeserver whose directory was built with this
change can toggle `search_all_users` without having to rebuild their
directory.

Adds missing type hints to methods in the synapse.handlers
module and requires all methods to have type hints there.
This also removes the unused construct_auth_difference method
from the FederationHandler.
We added a bunch of spans in #10704, but this ended up adding a lot of
redundant spans for rooms where nothing changed, so instead we only
start the span if there might be something interesting going on.
In `MatrixFederationHttpClient._send_request()`, we make a HTTP request
using an `Agent`, wrap that request in a timeout and await the resulting
`Deferred`. On its own, the `Agent` performing the HTTP request
correctly stashes and restores the logging context while waiting.
The addition of the timeout introduces a path where the logging context
is not restored when execution resumes.
To address this, we wrap the timeout `Deferred` in a
`make_deferred_yieldable()` to stash the logging context and restore it
on completion of the `await`. However this is not sufficient, since by
the time we construct the timeout `Deferred`, the `Agent` has already
stashed and cleared the logging context when using
`make_deferred_yieldable()` to produce its `Deferred` for the request.
Hence, we wrap the `Agent` request in a `run_in_background()` to "fork"
and preserve the logging context so that we can stash and restore it
when `await`ing the timeout `Deferred`.
This approach is similar to the one used with `defer.gatherResults`.
Note that the code is still not fully correct. When a timeout occurs,
the request remains running in the background (existing behavior which
is nothing to do with the new call to `run_in_background`) and may
re-start the logging context after it has finished.
I had one of these error messages yesterday and assumed it was an
invalid auth token (because that was an HTTP query parameter in the
test) I was working on. In fact, it was an invalid next batch token for
syncing.
We've already batched up the events previously, and assume in other
places in the events.py file that we have. Removing this makes it easier
to adjust the batch sizes in one place.
Hint to clients via the room capabilities API (MSC3244) that
room version 9 should be preferred for creating a room with
restricted join rules (instead of room version 8).
* Split up the documentation in several files rather than one huge one

When releasing 1.42.0 with @Azrenbeth and talking with @clokep yesterday I realised doing the dch incantations related to releasing Synapse wasn't trivial on eg a macOS system, so this is a script to run in a Debian container to make things a bit easier.
This adds the format to the request arguments / URL to
ensure that JSON data is returned (which is all that
Synapse supports).
This also adds additional error checking / filtering to the
configuration file to ignore XML-only providers.
I think I have finally teased apart the codepaths which handle outliers, and those that handle non-outliers.
Let's add some assertions to demonstrate my newfound knowledge.
If we're persisting an event E which has auth_events A1, A2, then we ought to make sure that we correctly auth
and persist A1 and A2, before we blindly accept E.
This PR does part of that - it persists the auth events first - but it does not fully solve the problem, because we
still don't check that the auth events weren't rejected.
The full event content cannot be trusted from this API (as no auth
chain, etc.) is processed over federation. Returning the full event
content was a bug as MSC2946 specifies that only the stripped
state should be returned.
This also avoids calculating aggregations / annotations which go
unused.
Synapse 1.42.0rc2 (2021-09-06)
==============================
This version of Synapse removes deprecated room-management admin APIs, removes out-of-date
email pushers, and improves error handling for fallback templates for user-interactive
authentication. For more information on these points, server administrators are
encouraged to read [the upgrade notes](docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1420).
Features
--------
- Support room version 9 from [MSC3375](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3375). ([\#10747](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10747))
Internal Changes
----------------
- Print a warning when using one of the deprecated `template_dir` settings. ([\#10768](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10768))
The deprecation itself happened in #10596 which shipped with Synapse v1.41.0. However, it doesn't seem fair to suddenly drop support for these settings in ~4-6w without being more vocal about said deprecation.
This is part of my ongoing war against BaseHandler. I've moved kick_guest_users into RoomMemberHandler (since it calls out to that handler anyway), and split maybe_kick_guest_users into the two places it is called.

* Add changelog
* Stop people from trying to redact MSC2716 events in unsupported room versions
* Populate rooms.creator column for easy lookup
> From some [out of band discussion](https://matrix.to/#/!UytJQHLQYfvYWsGrGY:jki.re/$p2fKESoFst038x6pOOmsY0C49S2gLKMr0jhNMz_JJz0?via=jki.re&via=matrix.org), my plan is to use `rooms.creator`. But currently, we don't fill in `creator` for remote rooms when a user is invited to a room for example. So we need to add some code to fill in `creator` wherever we add to the `rooms` table. And also add a background update to fill in the rows missing `creator` (we can use the same logic that `get_create_event_for_room_txn` is doing by looking in the state events to get the `creator`).

We use `txn.fetchall` because it will return the results as a
list or an empty list when there are no results.
Docs:
> `cursor` objects are iterable, so, instead of calling explicitly fetchone() in a loop, the object itself can be used:
>
> https://www.psycopg.org/docs/cursor.html#cursor-iterable
And I'm guessing iterating over a raw cursor does something weird when there are no results.

Turns out that the functionality added in #10546 to skip TLS was incompatible
with older Twisted versions, so we need to be a bit more inventive.
Also, add a test to (hopefully) not break this in future. Sadly, testing TLS is
really hard.
- Removed page summaries from CONTRIBUTING and installation pages as
this information was already in the table of contents on the right hand side
- Fixed some broken links in CONTRIBUTING
- Added margin-right tag for when table of contents is being shown
(otherwise the text in the page sometimes overlaps with it)
The code to deduplicate repeated fetches of the same set of events was
N^2 (over the number of events requested), which could lead to a process
being completely wedged.
The main fix is to deduplicate the returned deferreds so we only await
on a deferred once rather than many times. Seperately, when handling the
returned events from the defrered we only add the events we care about
to the event map to be returned (so that we don't pay the price of
inserting extraneous events into the dict).
Given that backfill and get_missing_events are basically the same thing, it's somewhat crazy that we have entirely separate code paths for them. This makes backfill use the existing get_missing_events code, and then clears up all the unused code.
When a user deletes an email from their account it will
now also remove all pushers for that email and that user
(even if these pushers were created by a different client)
* Fix the titles in the OIDC documentation
Having them as links broke the table-of-contents rendering in mdbook.
Plus there's no reason for only some of the provider titles to be links.
* Changelog
* Add link to google idp docs
Setting `update_existing: true` in the `create-an-issue` GitHub Action
will avoid opening duplicate issues if an open issue already exists with
an identical title.
If no open issues match the title, then a new issue will be created.
This helps avoid spamming our issue tracker should there be a failure
when testing against Twisted's trunk.
This PR also pins the SHA of the `create-an-issue` action to mitigate
the risk of a malicious actor gaining access to JasonEtco's account.

This creates a GHA workflow which runs at 8am every day, and runs mypy, trial and sytest against Twisted's current trunk. If any of the jobs fail, it opens an issue.
* Validate device_keys for C-S /keys/query requests
Closes#10354
A small, not particularly critical fix. I'm interested in seeing if we
can find a more systematic approach though. #8445 is the place for any discussion.
Here we split on_receive_pdu into two functions (on_receive_pdu and process_pulled_event), rather than having both cases in the same method. There's a tiny bit of overlap, but not that much.
Several configuration sections are using separate settings for custom template directories, which can be confusing. This PR adds a new top-level configuration for a custom template directory which is then used for every module. The only exception is the consent templates, since the consent template directory require a specific hierarchy, so it's probably better that it stays separate from everything else.
If the new /hierarchy API does not exist on all destinations,
fallback to querying the /spaces API and translating the results.
This is a backwards compatibility hack since not all of the
federated homeservers will update at the same time.
This release drops support for the deprecated, unstable API for [MSC2858 (Multiple SSO Identity Providers)](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/master/proposals/2858-Multiple-SSO-Identity-Providers.md#unstable-prefix), as well as the undocumented `experimental.msc2858_enabled` config option. Client authors should update their clients to use the stable API, available since Synapse 1.30.
The documentation has been updated with configuration for routing `/spaces`, `/hierarchy` and `/summary` to workers. See [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.43/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1430) for more details.

Security advisory
-----------------
The following issues are fixed in v1.41.1.
- **[GHSA-3x4c-pq33-4w3q](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-3x4c-pq33-4w3q) / [CVE-2021-39164](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=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](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/52c7a51cf).
- **[GHSA-jj53-8fmw-f2w2](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-jj53-8fmw-f2w2) / [CVE-2021-39163](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=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](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/cb35df940a), [\#10723](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10723).

# 1. Who can contribute to Synapse?
Everyone is welcome to contribute code to [matrix.org
projects](https://github.com/matrix-org), provided that they are willing to
license their contributions under the same license as the project itself. We
follow a simple 'inbound=outbound' model for contributions: the act of
submitting an 'inbound' contribution means that the contributor agrees to
license the code under the same terms as the project's overall 'outbound'
license - in our case, this is almost always Apache Software License v2 (see
[LICENSE](LICENSE)).
# 2. What do I need?
The code of Synapse is written in Python 3. To do pretty much anything, you'll need [a recent version of Python 3](https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download).
The source code of Synapse is hosted on GitHub. You will also need [a recent version of git](https://github.com/git-guides/install-git).
For some tests, you will need [a recent version of Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/).
# 3. Get the source.
The preferred and easiest way to contribute changes is to fork the relevant
project on GitHub, and then [create a pull request](
https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/) to ask us to pull your
If you need help getting started with git, this is beyond the scope of the document, but you
can find many good git tutorials on the web.
# 4. Install the dependencies
## Under Unix (macOS, Linux, BSD, ...)
Once you have installed Python 3 and added the source, please open a terminal and
setup a *virtualenv*, as follows:
```sh
cd path/where/you/have/cloned/the/repository
python3 -m venv ./env
source ./env/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[all,lint,mypy,test]"
pip install tox
```
This will install the developer dependencies for the project.
## Under Windows
TBD
# 5. Get in touch.
Join our developer community on Matrix: #synapse-dev:matrix.org !
# 6. Pick an issue.
Fix your favorite problem or perhaps find a [Good First Issue](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22Good+First+Issue%22)
to work on.
# 7. Turn coffee and documentation into code and documentation!
Synapse's code style is documented [here](docs/code_style.md). Please follow
it, including the conventions for the [sample configuration
If your tests fail, you may wish to look at the logs (the default log level is `ERROR`):
```sh
less _trial_temp/test.log
```
To increase the log level for the tests, set `SYNAPSE_TEST_LOG_LEVEL`:
```sh
SYNAPSE_TEST_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG trial tests
```
## Run the integration tests ([Sytest](https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest)).
The integration tests are a more comprehensive suite of tests. They
run a full version of Synapse, including your changes, to check if
anything was broken. They are slower than the unit tests but will
typically catch more errors.
The following command will let you run the integration test with the most common
configuration:
```sh
$ docker run --rm -it -v /path/where/you/have/cloned/the/repository\:/src:ro -v /path/to/where/you/want/logs\:/logs matrixdotorg/sytest-synapse:buster
```
This configuration should generally cover your needs. For more details about other configurations, see [documentation in the SyTest repo](https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest/blob/develop/docker/README.md).
## Run the integration tests ([Complement](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement)).
[Complement](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement) is a suite of black box tests that can be run on any homeserver implementation. It can also be thought of as end-to-end (e2e) tests.
It's often nice to develop on Synapse and write Complement tests at the same time.
Here is how to run your local Synapse checkout against your local Complement checkout.
(checkout [`complement`](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement) alongside your `synapse` checkout)
To run a specific test file, you can pass the test name at the end of the command. The name passed comes from the naming structure in your Complement tests. If you're unsure of the name, you can do a full run and copy it from the test output:
### Access database for homeserver after Complement test runs.
If you're curious what the database looks like after you run some tests, here are some steps to get you going in Synapse:
1. In your Complement test comment out `defer deployment.Destroy(t)` and replace with `defer time.Sleep(2 * time.Hour)` to keep the homeserver running after the tests complete
1. Start the Complement tests
1. Find the name of the container, `docker ps -f name=complement_` (this will filter for just the Compelement related Docker containers)
1. Access the container replacing the name with what you found in the previous step: `docker exec -it complement_1_hs_with_application_service.hs1_2 /bin/bash`
1. Then run `sqlite3` and open the database `.open /conf/homeserver.db` (this db path comes from the Synapse homeserver.yaml)
# 9. Submit your patch.
Once you're happy with your patch, it's time to prepare a Pull Request.
To prepare a Pull Request, please:
1. verify that [all the tests pass](#test-test-test), including the coding style;
2. [sign off](#sign-off) your contribution;
3.`git push` your commit to your fork of Synapse;
4. on GitHub, [create the Pull Request](https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request);
5. add a [changelog entry](#changelog) and push it to your Pull Request;
6. for most contributors, that's all - however, if you are a member of the organization `matrix-org`, on GitHub, please request a review from `matrix.org / Synapse Core`.
7. if you need to update your PR, please avoid rebasing and just add new commits to your branch.
## Changelog
All changes, even minor ones, need a corresponding changelog / newsfragment
entry. These are managed by [Towncrier](https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier).
To create a changelog entry, make a new file in the `changelog.d` directory named
in the format of `PRnumber.type`. The type can be one of the following:
*`feature`
*`bugfix`
*`docker` (for updates to the Docker image)
*`doc` (for updates to the documentation)
*`removal` (also used for deprecations)
*`misc` (for internal-only changes)
This file will become part of our [changelog](
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/CHANGES.md) at the next
release, so the content of the file should be a short description of your
change in the same style as the rest of the changelog. The file can contain Markdown
formatting, and should end with a full stop (.) or an exclamation mark (!) for
consistency.
Adding credits to the changelog is encouraged, we value your
contributions and would like to have you shouted out in the release notes!
For example, a fix in PR #1234 would have its changelog entry in
`changelog.d/1234.bugfix`, and contain content like:
> The security levels of Florbs are now validated when received
> via the `/federation/florb` endpoint. Contributed by Jane Matrix.
If there are multiple pull requests involved in a single bugfix/feature/etc,
then the content for each `changelog.d` file should be the same. Towncrier will
merge the matching files together into a single changelog entry when we come to
release.
### How do I know what to call the changelog file before I create the PR?
Obviously, you don't know if you should call your newsfile
`1234.bugfix` or `5678.bugfix` until you create the PR, which leads to a
chicken-and-egg problem.
There are two options for solving this:
1. Open the PR without a changelog file, see what number you got, and *then*
add the changelog file to your branch (see [Updating your pull
request](#updating-your-pull-request)), or:
1. Look at the [list of all
issues/PRs](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=), add one to the
highest number you see, and quickly open the PR before somebody else claims
Fix a long-standing bug where protocols which are not implemented by any appservices were incorrectly returned via `GET /_matrix/client/r0/thirdparty/protocols`.
Updated the reverse proxy documentation to highlight the homserver configuration that is needed to make Synapse aware that is is intentionally reverse proxied.
Fix errors on /sync when read receipt data is a string. Only affects homeservers with the experimental flag for [MSC2285](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2285) enabled. Contributed by @SimonBrandner.
Additional validation for the spaces summary API to avoid errors like `ValueError: Stop argument for islice() must be None or an integer`. The missing validation has existed since v1.31.0.
Revert behaviour introduced in v1.38.0 that strips `org.matrix.msc2732.device_unused_fallback_key_types` from `/sync` when its value is empty. This field should instead always be present according to [MSC2732](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/master/proposals/2732-olm-fallback-keys.md).
Rename [MSC2716](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2716) fields and event types from `chunk` to `batch` to match the `/batch_send` endpoint.
Rename [MSC2716](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2716) `/batch_send` query parameter from `?prev_event` to more obvious usage with `?prev_event_id`.
Fix a bug causing the `remove_stale_pushers` background job to repeatedly fail and log errors. This bug affected Synapse servers that had been upgraded from version 1.28 or older and are using SQLite.
Include outlier status when we log V2 or V3 events.
