+Synapse 1.32.2 (2021-04-22)
+===========================
+
+This release includes a fix for a regression introduced in 1.32.0.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Fix a regression in Synapse 1.32.0 and 1.32.1 which caused `LoggingContext` errors in plugins. ([\#9857](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9857))
+
+
+Synapse 1.32.1 (2021-04-21)
+===========================
+
+This release fixes [a regression](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9853)
+in Synapse 1.32.0 that caused connected Prometheus instances to become unstable.
+
+However, as this release is still subject to the `LoggingContext` change in 1.32.0,
+it is recommended to remain on or downgrade to 1.31.0.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Fix a regression in Synapse 1.32.0 which caused Synapse to report large numbers of Prometheus time series, potentially overwhelming Prometheus instances. ([\#9854](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9854))
+
+
+Synapse 1.32.0 (2021-04-20)
+===========================
+
+**Note:** This release introduces [a regression](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9853)
+that can overwhelm connected Prometheus instances. This issue was not present in
+1.32.0rc1. If affected, it is recommended to downgrade to 1.31.0 in the meantime, and
+follow [these instructions](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/9854#issuecomment-823472183)
+to clean up any excess writeahead logs.
+
+**Note:** This release also mistakenly included a change that may affected Synapse
+modules that import `synapse.logging.context.LoggingContext`, such as
+[synapse-s3-storage-provider](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-s3-storage-provider).
+This will be fixed in a later Synapse version.
+
+**Note:** This release requires Python 3.6+ and Postgres 9.6+ or SQLite 3.22+.
+
+This release removes the deprecated `GET /_synapse/admin/v1/users/<user_id>` admin API. Please use the [v2 API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/admin_api/user_admin_api.rst#query-user-account) instead, which has improved capabilities.
+
+This release requires Application Services to use type `m.login.application_service` when registering users via the `/_matrix/client/r0/register` endpoint to comply with the spec. Please ensure your Application Services are up to date.
+
+If you are using the `packages.matrix.org` Debian repository for Synapse packages,
+note that we have recently updated the expiry date on the gpg signing key. If you see an
+error similar to `The following signatures were invalid: EXPKEYSIG F473DD4473365DE1`, you
+will need to get a fresh copy of the keys. You can do so with:
+
+```sh
+sudo wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg https://packages.matrix.org/debian/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg
+```
+

+
+Synapse 1.30.1 (2021-03-26)
+===========================
+
+This release is identical to Synapse 1.30.0, with the exception of explicitly
+setting a minimum version of Python's Cryptography library to ensure that users
+of Synapse are protected from the recent [OpenSSL security advisories](https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-announce/2021-March/000198.html),
+especially CVE-2021-3449.
+
+Note that Cryptography defaults to bundling its own statically linked copy of
+OpenSSL, which means that you may not be protected by your operating system's
+security updates.
+
+It's also worth noting that Cryptography no longer supports Python 3.5, so
+admins deploying to older environments may not be protected against this or
+future vulnerabilities. Synapse will be dropping support for Python 3.5 at the
+end of March.
+
+
+Updates to the Docker image
+---------------------------
+
+- Ensure that the docker container has up to date versions of openssl. ([\#9697](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9697))
+
+
+Internal Changes
+----------------
+
+- Enforce that `cryptography` dependency is up to date to ensure it has the most recent openssl patches. ([\#9697](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9697))
+
+
+Synapse 1.30.0 (2021-03-22)
+===========================
+
+Note that this release deprecates the ability for appservices to
+call `POST /_matrix/client/r0/register`  without the body parameter `type`. Appservice
+developers should use a `type` value of `m.login.application_service` as
+per [the spec](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/application_service/r0.1.2#server-admin-style-permissions).
+In future releases, calling this endpoint with an access token - but without a `m.login.application_service`
+type - will fail.
+
+
+No significant changes.

+Synapse 1.28.0 (2021-02-25)
+===========================
+
+Note that this release drops support for ARMv7 in the official Docker images, due to repeated problems building for ARMv7 (and the associated maintenance burden this entails).
+
+This release also fixes the documentation included in v1.27.0 around the callback URI for SAML2 identity providers. If your server is configured to use single sign-on via a SAML2 IdP, you may need to make configuration changes. Please review [UPGRADE.rst](UPGRADE.rst) for more details on these changes.
+
+
+Internal Changes
+----------------
+
+- Revert change in v1.28.0rc1 to remove the deprecated SAML endpoint. ([\#9474](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9474))
+
+
+Synapse 1.28.0rc1 (2021-02-19)
+==============================
+
+Removal warning
+---------------
+
+The v1 list accounts API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
+This API was undocumented and misleading. It can be replaced by the
+[v2 list accounts API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.28.0/docs/admin_api/user_admin_api.rst#list-accounts),
+which has been available since Synapse 1.7.0 (2019-12-13).
+
+Please check if you're using any scripts which use the admin API and replace
+`GET /_synapse/admin/v1/users/<user_id>` with `GET /_synapse/admin/v2/users`.
+
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- New admin API to get the context of an event: `/_synapse/admin/rooms/{roomId}/context/{eventId}`. ([\#9150](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9150))

 Synapse 1.27.0 (2021-02-16)
 ===========================
 
 Note that this release includes a change in Synapse to use Redis as a cache ─ as well as a pub/sub mechanism ─ if Redis support is enabled for workers. No action is needed by server administrators, and we do not expect resource usage of the Redis instance to change dramatically.
 
-This release also changes the callback URI for OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity providers. If your server is configured to use single sign-on via an OIDC/OAuth2 IdP, you may need to make configuration changes. Please review [UPGRADE.rst](UPGRADE.rst) for more details on these changes.

+
+While you're developing and before submitting a patch, you'll
+want to test your code.
+
+## Run the linters.
+
+The linters look at your code and do two things:
+
+- ensure that your code follows the coding style adopted by the project;
+- catch a number of errors in your code.
+
+They're pretty fast, don't hesitate!
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
 ./scripts-dev/lint.sh
 ```
 
-**Note that the script does not just test/check, but also reformats code, so you
-may wish to ensure any new code is committed first**.
+Note that this script *will modify your files* to fix styling errors.
+Make sure that you have saved all your files.
 
-By default, this script checks all files and can take some time; if you alter
-only certain files, you might wish to specify paths as arguments to reduce the
-run-time:
+If you wish to restrict the linters to only the files changed since the last commit
+(much faster!), you can instead run:
 
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
+./scripts-dev/lint.sh -d
 ```
+
+Or if you know exactly which files you wish to lint, you can instead run:
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
 ./scripts-dev/lint.sh path/to/file1.py path/to/file2.py path/to/folder
 ```
 
-You can also provide the `-d` option, which will lint the files that have been
-changed since the last git commit. This will often be significantly faster than
-linting the whole codebase.
+## Run the unit tests.
 
-Before pushing new changes, ensure they don't produce linting errors. Commit any
-files that were corrected.
+The unit tests run parts of Synapse, including your changes, to see if anything
+was broken. They are slower than the linters but will typically catch more errors.
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
+trial tests
+```
+
+If you wish to only run *some* unit tests, you may specify
+another module instead of `tests` - or a test class or a method:
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
+trial tests.rest.admin.test_room tests.handlers.test_admin.ExfiltrateData.test_invite
+```
+
+If your tests fail, you may wish to look at the logs:
+
+```sh
+less _trial_temp/test.log
+```
+
+## Run the integration tests.
+
+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:py37
+```
+
+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).
+
+
+# 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`.
 
-Please ensure your changes match the cosmetic style of the existing project,
-and **never** mix cosmetic and functional changes in the same commit, as it
-makes it horribly hard to review otherwise.

+Matrix serves raw, user-supplied data in some APIs -- specifically the `content
+repository endpoints`_.
 
-Whilst we have tried to mitigate against possible XSS attacks (e.g.
-https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/1021) we recommend running
-matrix homeservers on a dedicated domain name, to limit any malicious user generated
-content served to web browsers a matrix API from being able to attack webapps hosted
-on the same domain.  This is particularly true of sharing a matrix webclient and
-server on the same domain.

-See https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/1977 and
-https://developer.github.com/changes/2014-04-25-user-content-security for more details.
+Whilst we make a reasonable effort to mitigate against XSS attacks (for
+instance, by using `CSP`_), a Matrix homeserver should not be hosted on a
+domain hosting other web applications. This especially applies to sharing
+the domain with Matrix web clients and other sensitive applications like
+webmail. See
+https://developer.github.com/changes/2014-04-25-user-content-security for more
+information.
+
+.. _CSP: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/1021
+
+Ideally, the homeserver should not simply be on a different subdomain, but on
+a completely different `registered domain`_ (also known as top-level site or
+eTLD+1). This is because `some attacks`_ are still possible as long as the two
+applications share the same registered domain.
+
+.. _registered domain: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-rfc6265bis-03#section-2.3
+
+.. _some attacks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_fixation#Attacks_using_cross-subdomain_cookie
+
+To illustrate this with an example, if your Element Web or other sensitive web
+application is hosted on ``A.example1.com``, you should ideally host Synapse on
+``example2.com``. Some amount of protection is offered by hosting on
+``B.example1.com`` instead, so this is also acceptable in some scenarios.
+However, you should *not* host your Synapse on ``A.example1.com``.
+
+Note that all of the above refers exclusively to the domain used in Synapse's
+``public_baseurl`` setting. In particular, it has no bearing on the domain
+mentioned in MXIDs hosted on that server.
+
+Following this advice ensures that even if an XSS is found in Synapse, the
+impact to other applications will be minimal.

+Account Validity HTML templates can now display a user's expiration date

+
+This may affect you if you have enabled the account validity feature, and have made use of a
+custom HTML template specified by the ``account_validity.template_dir`` or ``account_validity.account_renewed_html_path``
+Synapse config options.
+
+The template can now accept an ``expiration_ts`` variable, which represents the unix timestamp in milliseconds for the
+future date of which their account has been renewed until. See the
+`default template <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.33.0/synapse/res/templates/account_renewed.html>`_
+for an example of usage.
+
+ALso note that a new HTML template, ``account_previously_renewed.html``, has been added. This is is shown to users
+when they attempt to renew their account with a valid renewal token that has already been used before. The default
+template contents can been found
+`here <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.33.0/synapse/res/templates/account_previously_renewed.html>`_,

+Regression causing connected Prometheus instances to become overwhelmed

+
+This release introduces `a regression <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9853>`_
+that can overwhelm connected Prometheus instances. This issue is not present in
+Synapse v1.32.0rc1.
+
+If you have been affected, please downgrade to 1.31.0. You then may need to
+remove excess writeahead logs in order for Prometheus to recover. Instructions
+for doing so are provided
+`here <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/9854#issuecomment-823472183>`_.
+
+Dropping support for old Python, Postgres and SQLite versions
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+
+In line with our `deprecation policy <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.32.0/docs/deprecation_policy.md>`_,
+we've dropped support for Python 3.5 and PostgreSQL 9.5, as they are no longer supported upstream.
+
+This release of Synapse requires Python 3.6+ and PostgresSQL 9.6+ or SQLite 3.22+.
+
+Removal of old List Accounts Admin API
+--------------------------------------
+
+The deprecated v1 "list accounts" admin API (``GET /_synapse/admin/v1/users/<user_id>``) has been removed in this version.
+
+The `v2 list accounts API <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/admin_api/user_admin_api.rst#list-accounts>`_
+has been available since Synapse 1.7.0 (2019-12-13), and is accessible under ``GET /_synapse/admin/v2/users``.
+
+The deprecation of the old endpoint was announced with Synapse 1.28.0 (released on 2021-02-25).
+
+Application Services must use type ``m.login.application_service`` when registering users
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+In compliance with the
+`Application Service spec <https://matrix.org/docs/spec/application_service/r0.1.2#server-admin-style-permissions>`_,
+Application Services are now required to use the ``m.login.application_service`` type when registering users via the
+``/_matrix/client/r0/register`` endpoint. This behaviour was deprecated in Synapse v1.30.0.
+
+Please ensure your Application Services are up to date.
+
+Upgrading to v1.29.0
+====================
+
+Requirement for X-Forwarded-Proto header
+----------------------------------------
+
+When using Synapse with a reverse proxy (in particular, when using the
+`x_forwarded` option on an HTTP listener), Synapse now expects to receive an
+`X-Forwarded-Proto` header on incoming HTTP requests. If it is not set, Synapse
+will log a warning on each received request.
+
+To avoid the warning, administrators using a reverse proxy should ensure that
+the reverse proxy sets `X-Forwarded-Proto` header to `https` or `http` to
+indicate the protocol used by the client.
+
+Synapse also requires the `Host` header to be preserved.
+
+See the `reverse proxy documentation <docs/reverse_proxy.md>`_, where the
+example configurations have been updated to show how to set these headers.
+
+(Users of `Caddy <https://caddyserver.com/>`_ are unaffected, since we believe it
+sets `X-Forwarded-Proto` by default.)

-your server is configured for single sign-on via an OpenID Connect or OAuth2 identity

+This version changes the URI used for callbacks from OAuth2 and SAML2 identity providers:
 
-See `docs/openid.md <docs/openid.md>`_ for more information on setting up OpenID

+* If your server is configured for single sign-on via an OpenID Connect or OAuth2 identity
+  provider, you will need to add ``[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/callback``
+  to the list of permitted "redirect URIs" at the identity provider.
 
-(Note: a similar change is being made for SAML2; in this case the old URI
-``[synapse public baseurl]/_matrix/saml2`` is being deprecated, but will continue to
-work, so no immediate changes are required for existing installations.)
+  See `docs/openid.md <docs/openid.md>`_ for more information on setting up OpenID
+  Connect.
+
+* If your server is configured for single sign-on via a SAML2 identity provider, you will
+  need to add ``[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/saml2/authn_response`` as a permitted
+  "ACS location" (also known as "allowed callback URLs") at the identity provider.
+
+  The "Issuer" in the "AuthnRequest" to the SAML2 identity provider is also updated to
+  ``[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/saml2/metadata.xml``. If your SAML2 identity
+  provider uses this property to validate or otherwise identify Synapse, its configuration
+  will need to be updated to use the new URL. Alternatively you could create a new, separate
+  "EntityDescriptor" in your SAML2 identity provider with the new URLs and leave the URLs in
+  the existing "EntityDescriptor" as they were.

+# Running tests against a dockerised Synapse
+
+It's possible to run integration tests against Synapse
+using [Complement](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement). Complement is a Matrix Spec
+compliance test suite for homeservers, and supports any homeserver docker image configured
+to listen on ports 8008/8448. This document contains instructions for building Synapse
+docker images that can be run inside Complement for testing purposes.
+
+Note that running Synapse's unit tests from within the docker image is not supported.
+
+## Testing with SQLite and single-process Synapse
+
+> Note that `scripts-dev/complement.sh` is a script that will automatically build 
+> and run an SQLite-based, single-process of Synapse against Complement.
+
+The instructions below will set up Complement testing for a single-process, 
+SQLite-based Synapse deployment.
+
+Start by building the base Synapse docker image. If you wish to run tests with the latest
+release of Synapse, instead of your current checkout, you can skip this step. From the
+root of the repository:
+
+```sh
+docker build -t matrixdotorg/synapse -f docker/Dockerfile .
+```
+
+This will build an image with the tag `matrixdotorg/synapse`.
+
+Next, build the Synapse image for Complement. You will need a local checkout 
+of Complement. Change to the root of your Complement checkout and run:
+
+```sh
+docker build -t complement-synapse -f "dockerfiles/Synapse.Dockerfile" dockerfiles
+```
+
+This will build an image with the tag `complement-synapse`, which can be handed to 
+Complement for testing via the `COMPLEMENT_BASE_IMAGE` environment variable. Refer to 
+[Complement's documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement/#running) for 
+how to run the tests, as well as the various available command line flags.
+
+## Testing with PostgreSQL and single or multi-process Synapse
+
+The above docker image only supports running Synapse with SQLite and in a 
+single-process topology. The following instructions are used to build a Synapse image for 
+Complement that supports either single or multi-process topology with a PostgreSQL 
+database backend.
+
+As with the single-process image, build the base Synapse docker image. If you wish to run
+tests with the latest release of Synapse, instead of your current checkout, you can skip
+this step. From the root of the repository:
+
+```sh
+docker build -t matrixdotorg/synapse -f docker/Dockerfile .
+```
+
+This will build an image with the tag `matrixdotorg/synapse`.
+
+Next, we build a new image with worker support based on `matrixdotorg/synapse:latest`. 
+Again, from the root of the repository:
+
+```sh
+docker build -t matrixdotorg/synapse-workers -f docker/Dockerfile-workers .
+```
+
+This will build an image with the tag` matrixdotorg/synapse-workers`.
+
+It's worth noting at this point that this image is fully functional, and 
+can be used for testing against locally. See instructions for using the container 
+under
+[Running the Dockerfile-worker image standalone](#running-the-dockerfile-worker-image-standalone)
+below.
+
+Finally, build the Synapse image for Complement, which is based on
+`matrixdotorg/synapse-workers`. You will need a local checkout of Complement. Change to
+the root of your Complement checkout and run:
+
+```sh
+docker build -t matrixdotorg/complement-synapse-workers -f dockerfiles/SynapseWorkers.Dockerfile dockerfiles
+```
+
+This will build an image with the tag `complement-synapse`, which can be handed to
+Complement for testing via the `COMPLEMENT_BASE_IMAGE` environment variable. Refer to
+[Complement's documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement/#running) for
+how to run the tests, as well as the various available command line flags.
+
+## Running the Dockerfile-worker image standalone
+
+For manual testing of a multi-process Synapse instance in Docker,
+[Dockerfile-workers](Dockerfile-workers) is a Dockerfile that will produce an image
+bundling all necessary components together for a workerised homeserver instance.
+
+This includes any desired Synapse worker processes, a nginx to route traffic accordingly,
+a redis for worker communication and a supervisord instance to start up and monitor all
+processes. You will need to provide your own postgres container to connect to, and TLS 
+is not handled by the container.
+
+Once you've built the image using the above instructions, you can run it. Be sure 
+you've set up a volume according to the [usual Synapse docker instructions](README.md).
+Then run something along the lines of:
+
+```
+docker run -d --name synapse \
+    --mount type=volume,src=synapse-data,dst=/data \
+    -p 8008:8008 \
+    -e SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=my.matrix.host \
+    -e SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS=no \
+    -e POSTGRES_HOST=postgres \
+    -e POSTGRES_USER=postgres \
+    -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=somesecret \
+    -e SYNAPSE_WORKER_TYPES=synchrotron,media_repository,user_dir \
+    -e SYNAPSE_WORKERS_WRITE_LOGS_TO_DISK=1 \
+    matrixdotorg/synapse-workers
+```
+
+...substituting `POSTGRES*` variables for those that match a postgres host you have 
+available (usually a running postgres docker container).
+
+The `SYNAPSE_WORKER_TYPES` environment variable is a comma-separated list of workers to
+use when running the container. All possible worker names are defined by the keys of the
+`WORKERS_CONFIG` variable in [this script](configure_workers_and_start.py), which the
+Dockerfile makes use of to generate appropriate worker, nginx and supervisord config
+files.
+
+Sharding is supported for a subset of workers, in line with the
+[worker documentation](../docs/workers.md). To run multiple instances of a given worker
+type, simply specify the type multiple times in `SYNAPSE_WORKER_TYPES`
+(e.g `SYNAPSE_WORKER_TYPES=event_creator,event_creator...`).
+
+Otherwise, `SYNAPSE_WORKER_TYPES` can either be left empty or unset to spawn no workers
+(leaving only the main process). The container is configured to use redis-based worker
+mode.
+
+Logs for workers and the main process are logged to stdout and can be viewed with 
+standard `docker logs` tooling. Worker logs contain their worker name 
+after the timestamp.

+A captcha can be enabled on your homeserver to help prevent bots from registering

-Requires a site/secret key pair from:

+Deprecation Policy for Platform Dependencies
+============================================
+
+Synapse has a number of platform dependencies, including Python and PostgreSQL.
+This document outlines the policy towards which versions we support, and when we
+drop support for versions in the future.
+
+
+Policy
+------
+
+Synapse follows the upstream support life cycles for Python and PostgreSQL,
+i.e. when a version reaches End of Life Synapse will withdraw support for that
+version in future releases.
+
+Details on the upstream support life cycles for Python and PostgreSQL are
+documented at https://endoflife.date/python and
+https://endoflife.date/postgresql.
+
+
+Context
+-------
+
+It is important for system admins to have a clear understanding of the platform
+requirements of Synapse and its deprecation policies so that they can
+effectively plan upgrading their infrastructure ahead of time. This is
+especially important in contexts where upgrading the infrastructure requires
+auditing and approval from a security team, or where otherwise upgrading is a
+long process.
+
+By following the upstream support life cycles Synapse can ensure that its
+dependencies continue to get security patches, while not requiring system admins
+to constantly update their platform dependencies to the latest versions.

+# Presence Router Module
+
+Synapse supports configuring a module that can specify additional users
+(local or remote) to should receive certain presence updates from local
+users.
+
+Note that routing presence via Application Service transactions is not
+currently supported.
+
+The presence routing module is implemented as a Python class, which will
+be imported by the running Synapse.
+
+## Python Presence Router Class
+
+The Python class is instantiated with two objects:
+
+* A configuration object of some type (see below).
+* An instance of `synapse.module_api.ModuleApi`.
+
+It then implements methods related to presence routing.
+
+Note that one method of `ModuleApi` that may be useful is:
+
+```python
+async def ModuleApi.send_local_online_presence_to(users: Iterable[str]) -> None
+```
+
+which can be given a list of local or remote MXIDs to broadcast known, online user
+presence to (for those users that the receiving user is considered interested in). 
+It does not include state for users who are currently offline, and it can only be
+called on workers that support sending federation. Additionally, this method must
+only be called from the process that has been configured to write to the
+the [presence stream](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/workers.md#stream-writers).
+By default, this is the main process, but another worker can be configured to do
+so.
+
+### Module structure
+
+Below is a list of possible methods that can be implemented, and whether they are
+required.
+
+#### `parse_config`
+
+```python
+def parse_config(config_dict: dict) -> Any
+```
+
+**Required.** A static method that is passed a dictionary of config options, and
+  should return a validated config object. This method is described further in
+  [Configuration](#configuration).
+
+#### `get_users_for_states`
+
+```python
+async def get_users_for_states(
+    self,
+    state_updates: Iterable[UserPresenceState],
+) -> Dict[str, Set[UserPresenceState]]:
+```
+
+**Required.** An asynchronous method that is passed an iterable of user presence
+state. This method can determine whether a given presence update should be sent to certain
+users. It does this by returning a dictionary with keys representing local or remote
+Matrix User IDs, and values being a python set
+of `synapse.handlers.presence.UserPresenceState` instances.
+
+Synapse will then attempt to send the specified presence updates to each user when
+possible.
+
+#### `get_interested_users`
+
+```python
+async def get_interested_users(self, user_id: str) -> Union[Set[str], str]
+```
+
+**Required.** An asynchronous method that is passed a single Matrix User ID. This
+method is expected to return the users that the passed in user may be interested in the
+presence of. Returned users may be local or remote. The presence routed as a result of
+what this method returns is sent in addition to the updates already sent between users
+that share a room together. Presence updates are deduplicated.
+
+This method should return a python set of Matrix User IDs, or the object
+`synapse.events.presence_router.PresenceRouter.ALL_USERS` to indicate that the passed
+user should receive presence information for *all* known users.
+
+For clarity, if the user `@alice:example.org` is passed to this method, and the Set
+`{"@bob:example.com", "@charlie:somewhere.org"}` is returned, this signifies that Alice
+should receive presence updates sent by Bob and Charlie, regardless of whether these
+users share a room.
+
+### Example
+
+Below is an example implementation of a presence router class.
+
+```python

+            return PresenceRouter.ALL_USERS
+
+        return set()
+```
+
+#### A note on `get_users_for_states` and `get_interested_users`
+
+Both of these methods are effectively two different sides of the same coin. The logic
+regarding which users should receive updates for other users should be the same 
+between them.
+
+`get_users_for_states` is called when presence updates come in from either federation 
+or local users, and is used to either direct local presence to remote users, or to
+wake up the sync streams of local users to collect remote presence.
+
+In contrast, `get_interested_users` is used to determine the users that presence should
+be fetched for when a local user is syncing. This presence is then retrieved, before
+being fed through `get_users_for_states` once again, with only the syncing user's
+routing information pulled from the resulting dictionary.
+
+Their routing logic should thus line up, else you may run into unintended behaviour.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Once you've crafted your module and installed it into the same Python environment as
+Synapse, amend your homeserver config file with the following.
+
+```yaml
+presence:
+  routing_module:
+    module: my_module.ExamplePresenceRouter
+    config:
+      # Any configuration options for your module. The below is an example.
+      # of setting options for ExamplePresenceRouter.
+      always_send_to_users: ["@presence_gobbler:example.org"]
+      blacklisted_users:
+        - "@alice:example.com"
+        - "@bob:example.com"
+      ...
+```
+
+The contents of `config` will be passed as a Python dictionary to the static
+`parse_config` method of your class. The object returned by this method will
+then be passed to the `__init__` method of your module as `config`.

+
+You should remember that Matrix clients and other Matrix servers do not

 **NOTE**: Your reverse proxy must not `canonicalise` or `normalise`
 the requested URI in any way (for example, by decoding `%xx` escapes).
 Beware that Apache *will* canonicalise URIs unless you specify
 `nocanon`.
