-- Prevent an attack where a federated server could send redactions for arbitrary events in v1 and v2 rooms. ([\#5767](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5767))
-- Prevent a denial-of-service attack where cycles of redaction events would make Synapse spin infinitely. Thanks to `@lrizika:matrix.org` for identifying and responsibly disclosing this issue. ([0f2ecb961](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/0f2ecb961))
-- Prevent an attack where users could be joined or parted from public rooms without their consent. Thanks to @dylangerdaly for identifying and responsibly disclosing this issue. ([\#5744](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5744))
-- Fix a vulnerability where a federated server could spoof read-receipts from
-  users on other servers. Thanks to @dylangerdaly for identifying this issue too. ([\#5743](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5743))
-
-Additionally, the following fix was in Synapse **1.2.0**, but was not correctly
-identified during the original release:
-
-- It was possible for a room moderator to send a redaction for an `m.room.create` event, which would downgrade the room to version 1. Thanks to `/dev/ponies` for identifying and responsibly disclosing this issue! ([\#5701](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5701))

-
-Upgrading to v1.4.0
-===================
-
-New custom templates
---------------------
-
-If you have configured a custom template directory with the
-``email.template_dir`` option, be aware that there are new templates regarding
-registration and threepid management (see below) that must be included.
-
-* ``registration.html`` and ``registration.txt``
-* ``registration_success.html`` and ``registration_failure.html``
-* ``add_threepid.html`` and  ``add_threepid.txt``
-* ``add_threepid_failure.html`` and ``add_threepid_success.html``
-
-Synapse will expect these files to exist inside the configured template
-directory, and **will fail to start** if they are absent.
-To view the default templates, see `synapse/res/templates
-<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/synapse/res/templates>`_.
-
-3pid verification changes
--------------------------
-
-**Note: As of this release, users will be unable to add phone numbers or email
-addresses to their accounts, without changes to the Synapse configuration. This
-includes adding an email address during registration.**
-
-It is possible for a user to associate an email address or phone number
-with their account, for a number of reasons:
-
-* for use when logging in, as an alternative to the user id.
-* in the case of email, as an alternative contact to help with account recovery.
-* in the case of email, to receive notifications of missed messages.
-
-Before an email address or phone number can be added to a user's account,
-or before such an address is used to carry out a password-reset, Synapse must
-confirm the operation with the owner of the email address or phone number.
-It does this by sending an email or text giving the user a link or token to confirm
-receipt. This process is known as '3pid verification'. ('3pid', or 'threepid',
-stands for third-party identifier, and we use it to refer to external
-identifiers such as email addresses and phone numbers.)
-
-Previous versions of Synapse delegated the task of 3pid verification to an
-identity server by default. In most cases this server is ``vector.im`` or
-``matrix.org``.
-
-In Synapse 1.4.0, for security and privacy reasons, the homeserver will no
-longer delegate this task to an identity server by default. Instead,
-the server administrator will need to explicitly decide how they would like the
-verification messages to be sent.
-
-In the medium term, the ``vector.im`` and ``matrix.org`` identity servers will
-disable support for delegated 3pid verification entirely. However, in order to
-ease the transition, they will retain the capability for a limited
-period. Delegated email verification will be disabled on Monday 2nd December
-2019 (giving roughly 2 months notice). Disabling delegated SMS verification
-will follow some time after that once SMS verification support lands in
-Synapse.
-
-Once delegated 3pid verification support has been disabled in the ``vector.im`` and
-``matrix.org`` identity servers, all Synapse versions that depend on those
-instances will be unable to verify email and phone numbers through them. There
-are no imminent plans to remove delegated 3pid verification from Sydent
-generally. (Sydent is the identity server project that backs the ``vector.im`` and
-``matrix.org`` instances).
-
-Email
-~~~~~
-Following upgrade, to continue verifying email (e.g. as part of the
-registration process), admins can either:-
-
-* Configure Synapse to use an email server.
-* Run or choose an identity server which allows delegated email verification
-  and delegate to it.
-
-Configure SMTP in Synapse
-+++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
-To configure an SMTP server for Synapse, modify the configuration section
-headed ``email``, and be sure to have at least the ``smtp_host, smtp_port``
-and ``notif_from`` fields filled out.
-
-You may also need to set ``smtp_user``, ``smtp_pass``, and
-``require_transport_security``.
-
-See the `sample configuration file <docs/sample_config.yaml>`_ for more details
-on these settings.
-
-Delegate email to an identity server
-++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
-Some admins will wish to continue using email verification as part of the
-registration process, but will not immediately have an appropriate SMTP server
-at hand.
-
-To this end, we will continue to support email verification delegation via the
-``vector.im`` and ``matrix.org`` identity servers for two months. Support for
-delegated email verification will be disabled on Monday 2nd December.
-
-The ``account_threepid_delegates`` dictionary defines whether the homeserver
-should delegate an external server (typically an `identity server
-<https://matrix.org/docs/spec/identity_service/r0.2.1>`_) to handle sending
-confirmation messages via email and SMS.
-
-So to delegate email verification, in ``homeserver.yaml``, set
-``account_threepid_delegates.email`` to the base URL of an identity server. For
-example:
-
-.. code:: yaml
-
-   account_threepid_delegates:
-       email: https://example.com     # Delegate email sending to example.com
-
-Note that ``account_threepid_delegates.email`` replaces the deprecated
-``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets``: if
-``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` is set to ``true``, and
-``account_threepid_delegates.email`` is not set, then the first entry in
-``trusted_third_party_id_servers`` will be used as the
-``account_threepid_delegate`` for email. This is to ensure compatibility with
-existing Synapse installs that set up external server handling for these tasks
-before v1.4.0. If ``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` is
-``true`` and no trusted identity server domains are configured, Synapse will
-report an error and refuse to start.
-
-If ``email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets`` is ``false`` or absent
-and no ``email`` delegate is configured in ``account_threepid_delegates``,
-then Synapse will send email verification messages itself, using the configured
-SMTP server (see above).
-that type.
-
-Phone numbers
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Synapse does not support phone-number verification itself, so the only way to
-maintain the ability for users to add phone numbers to their accounts will be
-by continuing to delegate phone number verification to the ``matrix.org`` and
-``vector.im`` identity servers (or another identity server that supports SMS
-sending).
-
-The ``account_threepid_delegates`` dictionary defines whether the homeserver
-should delegate an external server (typically an `identity server
-<https://matrix.org/docs/spec/identity_service/r0.2.1>`_) to handle sending
-confirmation messages via email and SMS.
-
-So to delegate phone number verification, in ``homeserver.yaml``, set
-``account_threepid_delegates.msisdn`` to the base URL of an identity
-server. For example:
-
-.. code:: yaml
-
-   account_threepid_delegates:
-       msisdn: https://example.com     # Delegate sms sending to example.com
-
-The ``matrix.org`` and ``vector.im`` identity servers will continue to support
-delegated phone number verification via SMS until such time as it is possible
-for admins to configure their servers to perform phone number verification
-directly. More details will follow in a future release.
-
-Rolling back to v1.3.1
-----------------------
-
-If you encounter problems with v1.4.0, it should be possible to roll back to
-v1.3.1, subject to the following:
-
-* The 'room statistics' engine was heavily reworked in this release (see
-  `#5971 <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5971>`_), including
-  significant changes to the database schema, which are not easily
-  reverted. This will cause the room statistics engine to stop updating when
-  you downgrade.
-
-  The room statistics are essentially unused in v1.3.1 (in future versions of
-  Synapse, they will be used to populate the room directory), so there should
-  be no loss of functionality. However, the statistics engine will write errors
-  to the logs, which can be avoided by setting the following in
-  `homeserver.yaml`:
-
-  .. code:: yaml
-
-    stats:
-      enabled: false
-
-  Don't forget to re-enable it when you upgrade again, in preparation for its
-  use in the room directory!
-
-Upgrading to v1.2.0
-===================
-
-Some counter metrics have been renamed, with the old names deprecated. See
-`the metrics documentation <docs/metrics-howto.md#renaming-of-metrics--deprecation-of-old-names-in-12>`_
-for details.

-New email templates
----------------
-Some new templates have been added to the default template directory for the purpose of the
-homeserver sending its own password reset emails. If you have configured a custom
-``template_dir`` in your Synapse config, these files will need to be added.
-
-``password_reset.html`` and ``password_reset.txt`` are HTML and plain text templates

 # Synapse Docker
 
-### Configuration
+FIXME: this is out-of-date as of
+https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5518. Contributions to bring it up
+to date would be welcome.
+
+### Automated configuration
+
+It is recommended that you use Docker Compose to run your containers, including
+this image and a Postgres server. A sample ``docker-compose.yml`` is provided,
+including example labels for reverse proxying and other artifacts.
+
+Read the section about environment variables and set at least mandatory variables,
+then run the server:
+
+```
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+If secrets are not specified in the environment variables, they will be generated
+as part of the startup. Please ensure these secrets are kept between launches of the
+Docker container, as their loss may require users to log in again.
+
+### Manual configuration
 
 A sample ``docker-compose.yml`` is provided, including example labels for
 reverse proxying and other artifacts. The docker-compose file is an example,
 please comment/uncomment sections that are not suitable for your usecase.
 
 Specify a ``SYNAPSE_CONFIG_PATH``, preferably to a persistent path,
-to use manual configuration.
-
-To generate a fresh `homeserver.yaml`, you can use the `generate` command.
-(See the [documentation](../../docker/README.md#generating-a-configuration-file)
-for more information.) You will need to specify appropriate values for at least the
-`SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME` and `SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS` environment variables. For example:
+to use manual configuration. To generate a fresh ``homeserver.yaml``, simply run:
 
 ```
-docker-compose run --rm -e SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=my.matrix.host -e SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS=yes synapse generate
+docker-compose run --rm -e SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=my.matrix.host synapse generate
 ```
 
-(This will also generate necessary signing keys.)
-
 Then, customize your configuration and run the server:

-# Server to Server
-
-## Server to Server Stack
-
-To use the server to server stack, home servers should only need to
-interact with the Messaging layer.
-
-The server to server side of things is designed into 4 distinct layers:
-
-1.  Messaging Layer
-2.  Pdu Layer
-3.  Transaction Layer
-4.  Transport Layer
-
-Where the bottom (the transport layer) is what talks to the internet via
-HTTP, and the top (the messaging layer) talks to the rest of the Home
-Server with a domain specific API.
-
-1. **Messaging Layer**
-
-    This is what the rest of the Home Server hits to send messages, join rooms,
-    etc. It also allows you to register callbacks for when it get's notified by
-    lower levels that e.g. a new message has been received.
-
-    It is responsible for serializing requests to send to the data
-    layer, and to parse requests received from the data layer.
-
-2. **PDU Layer**
-
-    This layer handles:
-
-		- duplicate `pdu_id`'s - i.e., it makes sure we ignore them.
-		- responding to requests for a given `pdu_id`
-		- responding to requests for all metadata for a given context (i.e. room)
-		- handling incoming backfill requests
-
-		So it has to parse incoming messages to discover which are metadata and
-    which aren't, and has to correctly clobber existing metadata where
-    appropriate.
-
-    For incoming PDUs, it has to check the PDUs it references to see
-    if we have missed any. If we have go and ask someone (another
-    home server) for it.
-
-3. **Transaction Layer**
-
-		This layer makes incoming requests idempotent. i.e., it stores
-		which transaction id's we have seen and what our response were.
-		If we have already seen a message with the given transaction id,
-		we do not notify higher levels but simply respond with the
-		previous response.
-
-		`transaction_id` is from "`GET /send/<tx_id>/`"
-

-We persist things in a single sqlite3 database. All database queries get
-run on a separate, dedicated thread. This that we only ever have one

-
-The queries are located in the `synapse.persistence.transactions` module,
-and the table information in the `synapse.persistence.tables` module.

+= Server to Server =
+
+== Server to Server Stack ==
+
+To use the server to server stack, home servers should only need to interact with the Messaging layer.
+
+The server to server side of things is designed into 4 distinct layers:
+
+    1. Messaging Layer
+    2. Pdu Layer
+    3. Transaction Layer
+    4. Transport Layer
+
+Where the bottom (the transport layer) is what talks to the internet via HTTP, and the top (the messaging layer) talks to the rest of the Home Server with a domain specific API.
+
+1. Messaging Layer
+    This is what the rest of the Home Server hits to send messages, join rooms, etc. It also allows you to register callbacks for when it get's notified by lower levels that e.g. a new message has been received.
+
+    It is responsible for serializing requests to send to the data layer, and to parse requests received from the data layer.
+
+
+2. PDU Layer
+    This layer handles: 
+        * duplicate pdu_id's - i.e., it makes sure we ignore them. 
+        * responding to requests for a given pdu_id
+        * responding to requests for all metadata for a given context (i.e. room)
+        * handling incoming backfill requests
+
+    So it has to parse incoming messages to discover which are metadata and which aren't, and has to correctly clobber existing metadata where appropriate.
+
+    For incoming PDUs, it has to check the PDUs it references to see if we have missed any. If we have go and ask someone (another home server) for it.    
+
+
+3. Transaction Layer
+    This layer makes incoming requests idempotent. I.e., it stores which transaction id's we have seen and what our response were. If we have already seen a message with the given transaction id, we do not notify higher levels but simply respond with the previous response.
+
+transaction_id is from "GET /send/<tx_id>/"
+
+    It's also responsible for batching PDUs into single transaction for sending to remote destinations, so that we only ever have one transaction in flight to a given destination at any one time.
+
+    This is also responsible for answering requests for things after a given set of transactions, i.e., ask for everything after 'ver' X.
+
+
+4. Transport Layer
+    This is responsible for starting a HTTP server and hitting the correct callbacks on the Transaction layer, as well as sending both data and requests for data.

-# Code Style
-
-## Formatting tools
-
-The Synapse codebase uses a number of code formatting tools in order to
-quickly and automatically check for formatting (and sometimes logical)
-errors in code.
-
-The necessary tools are detailed below.
-
--   **black**
-
-    The Synapse codebase uses [black](https://pypi.org/project/black/)
-    as an opinionated code formatter, ensuring all comitted code is
-    properly formatted.
-
-    First install `black` with:
-
-        pip install --upgrade black
-
-    Have `black` auto-format your code (it shouldn't change any
-    functionality) with:
-
-        black . --exclude="\.tox|build|env"
-
--   **flake8**
-
-    `flake8` is a code checking tool. We require code to pass `flake8`
-    before being merged into the codebase.
-
-    Install `flake8` with:
-
-        pip install --upgrade flake8
-
-    Check all application and test code with:
-
-        flake8 synapse tests
-
--   **isort**
-
-    `isort` ensures imports are nicely formatted, and can suggest and
-    auto-fix issues such as double-importing.
-
-    Install `isort` with:
-
-        pip install --upgrade isort
-
-    Auto-fix imports with:
-
-        isort -rc synapse tests
-
-    `-rc` means to recursively search the given directories.
-
-It's worth noting that modern IDEs and text editors can run these tools
-automatically on save. It may be worth looking into whether this
-functionality is supported in your editor for a more convenient
-development workflow. It is not, however, recommended to run `flake8` on
-save as it takes a while and is very resource intensive.
-
-## General rules
-
--   **Naming**:
-    -   Use camel case for class and type names
-    -   Use underscores for functions and variables.
--   **Docstrings**: should follow the [google code
-    style](https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html#38-comments-and-docstrings).
-    This is so that we can generate documentation with
-    [sphinx](http://sphinxcontrib-napoleon.readthedocs.org/en/latest/).
-    See the
-    [examples](http://sphinxcontrib-napoleon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/example_google.html)
-    in the sphinx documentation.
--   **Imports**:
-    -   Imports should be sorted by `isort` as described above.
-    -   Prefer to import classes and functions rather than packages or
-        modules.
-
-        Example:
-
-            from synapse.types import UserID
-            ...
-            user_id = UserID(local, server)
-
-        is preferred over:
-
-            from synapse import types
-            ...
-            user_id = types.UserID(local, server)
-
-        (or any other variant).
-
-        This goes against the advice in the Google style guide, but it
-        means that errors in the name are caught early (at import time).
-
-    -   Avoid wildcard imports (`from synapse.types import *`) and
-        relative imports (`from .types import UserID`).
-
-## Configuration file format
-
-The [sample configuration file](./sample_config.yaml) acts as a
-reference to Synapse's configuration options for server administrators.
-Remember that many readers will be unfamiliar with YAML and server
-administration in general, so that it is important that the file be as
-easy to understand as possible, which includes following a consistent
-format.
-
-Some guidelines follow:
-
--   Sections should be separated with a heading consisting of a single
-    line prefixed and suffixed with `##`. There should be **two** blank
-    lines before the section header, and **one** after.
--   Each option should be listed in the file with the following format:
-    -   A comment describing the setting. Each line of this comment
-        should be prefixed with a hash (`#`) and a space.
-
-        The comment should describe the default behaviour (ie, what
-        happens if the setting is omitted), as well as what the effect
-        will be if the setting is changed.
-
-        Often, the comment end with something like "uncomment the
-        following to <do action>".
-
-    -   A line consisting of only `#`.
-    -   A commented-out example setting, prefixed with only `#`.
-
-        For boolean (on/off) options, convention is that this example
-        should be the *opposite* to the default (so the comment will end
-        with "Uncomment the following to enable [or disable]
-        <feature>." For other options, the example should give some
-        non-default value which is likely to be useful to the reader.
-
--   There should be a blank line between each option.
--   Where several settings are grouped into a single dict, *avoid* the
-    convention where the whole block is commented out, resulting in
-    comment lines starting `# #`, as this is hard to read and confusing
-    to edit. Instead, leave the top-level config option uncommented, and
-    follow the conventions above for sub-options. Ensure that your code
-    correctly handles the top-level option being set to `None` (as it
-    will be if no sub-options are enabled).
--   Lines should be wrapped at 80 characters.
-
-Example:
-
-    ## Frobnication ##
-
-    # The frobnicator will ensure that all requests are fully frobnicated.
-    # To enable it, uncomment the following.
-    #
-    #frobnicator_enabled: true
-
-    # By default, the frobnicator will frobnicate with the default frobber.
-    # The following will make it use an alternative frobber.
-    #
-    #frobincator_frobber: special_frobber
-
-    # Settings for the frobber
-    #
-    frobber:
-       # frobbing speed. Defaults to 1.
-       #
-       #speed: 10
-
-       # frobbing distance. Defaults to 1000.
-       #
-       #distance: 100
-
-Note that the sample configuration is generated from the synapse code
-and is maintained by a script, `scripts-dev/generate_sample_config`.
-Making sure that the output from this script matches the desired format
-is left as an exercise for the reader!
