+Synapse 1.46.0 (2021-11-02)
+===========================
+
+The cause of the [performance regression affecting Synapse 1.44](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11049) has been identified and fixed. ([\#11177](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11177))
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Fix a bug introduced in v1.46.0rc1 where URL previews of some XML documents would fail. ([\#11196](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11196))
+
+
+Synapse 1.46.0rc1 (2021-10-27)
+==============================
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- Add support for Ubuntu 21.10 "Impish Indri". ([\#11024](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11024))
+- Port the Password Auth Providers module interface to the new generic interface. ([\#10548](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10548), [\#11180](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11180))
+- Experimental support for the thread relation defined in [MSC3440](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3440). ([\#11088](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11088), [\#11181](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11181), [\#11192](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11192))
+- Users admin API can now also modify user type in addition to allowing it to be set on user creation. ([\#11174](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11174))
+
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Newly-created public rooms are now only assigned an alias if the room's creation has not been blocked by permission settings. Contributed by @AndrewFerr. ([\#10930](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10930))
+- Fix a long-standing bug which meant that events received over federation were sometimes incorrectly accepted into the room state. ([\#11001](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11001), [\#11009](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11009), [\#11012](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11012))
+- Fix 500 error on `/messages` when the server accumulates more than 5 backwards extremities at a given depth for a room. ([\#11027](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11027))
+- Fix a bug where setting a user's `external_id` via the admin API returns 500 and deletes user's existing external mappings if that external ID is already mapped. ([\#11051](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11051))
+- Fix a long-standing bug where users excluded from the user directory were added into the directory if they belonged to a room which became public or private. ([\#11075](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11075))
+- Fix a long-standing bug when attempting to preview URLs which are in the `windows-1252` character encoding. ([\#11077](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11077), [\#11089](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11089))

+- Fix local users who left all their rooms being removed from the user directory, even if the `search_all_users` config option was enabled. ([\#11103](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11103))
+- Fix a bug which caused the module API's `get_user_ip_and_agents` function to always fail on workers. `get_user_ip_and_agents` was introduced in 1.44.0 and did not function correctly on worker processes at the time. ([\#11112](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11112))
+- Identity server connection is no longer ignoring `ip_range_whitelist`. ([\#11120](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11120))
+- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.45.0 breaking the configuration file parsing script. ([\#11145](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11145))
+- Fix a performance regression introduced in 1.44.0 which could cause client requests to time out when making large numbers of outbound requests. ([\#11177](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11177), [\#11190](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11190))
+- Resolve and share `state_groups` for all [MSC2716](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2716) historical events in batch. ([\#10975](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10975))
+
+

+### Running tests under PostgreSQL
+
+Invoking `trial` as above will use an in-memory SQLite database. This is great for
+quick development and testing. However, we recommend using a PostgreSQL database
+in production (and indeed, we have some code paths specific to each database).
+This means that we need to run our unit tests against PostgreSQL too. Our CI does
+this automatically for pull requests and release candidates, but it's sometimes
+useful to reproduce this locally.
+
+To do so, [configure Postgres](../postgres.md) and run `trial` with the
+following environment variables matching your configuration:
+
+- `SYNAPSE_POSTGRES` to anything nonempty
+- `SYNAPSE_POSTGRES_HOST`
+- `SYNAPSE_POSTGRES_USER`
+- `SYNAPSE_POSTGRES_PASSWORD`
+
+For example:

+```shell
+export SYNAPSE_POSTGRES=1
+export SYNAPSE_POSTGRES_HOST=localhost
+export SYNAPSE_POSTGRES_USER=postgres
+export SYNAPSE_POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mydevenvpassword
+trial
+```
+
+#### Prebuilt container
+
+Since configuring PostgreSQL can be fiddly, we can make use of a pre-made
+Docker container to set up PostgreSQL and run our tests for us. To do so, run
+
+```shell
+scripts-dev/test_postgresql.sh
+```
+
+Any extra arguments to the script will be passed to `tox` and then to `trial`,
+so we can run a specific test in this container with e.g.
+
+```shell
+scripts-dev/test_postgresql.sh tests.replication.test_sharded_event_persister.EventPersisterShardTestCase
+```
+
+The container creates a folder in your Synapse checkout called
+`.tox-pg-container` and uses this as a tox environment. The output of any
+`trial` runs goes into `_trial_temp` in your synapse source directory — the same
+as running `trial` directly on your host machine.

+# Implementing experimental features in Synapse
+
+It can be desirable to implement "experimental" features which are disabled by
+default and must be explicitly enabled via the Synapse configuration. This is
+applicable for features which:
+
+* Are unstable in the Matrix spec (e.g. those defined by an MSC that has not yet been merged).
+* Developers are not confident in their use by general Synapse administrators/users
+  (e.g. a feature is incomplete, buggy, performs poorly, or needs further testing).
+
+Note that this only really applies to features which are expected to be desirable
+to a broad audience. The [module infrastructure](../modules/index.md) should
+instead be investigated for non-standard features.
+
+Guarding experimental features behind configuration flags should help with some
+of the following scenarios:
+
+* Ensure that clients do not assume that unstable features exist (failing
+  gracefully if they do not).
+* Unstable features do not become de-facto standards and can be removed
+  aggressively (since only those who have opted-in will be affected).
+* Ease finding the implementation of unstable features in Synapse (for future
+  removal or stabilization).
+* Ease testing a feature (or removal of feature) due to enabling/disabling without
+  code changes. It also becomes possible to ask for wider testing, if desired.
+
+Experimental configuration flags should be disabled by default (requiring Synapse
+administrators to explicitly opt-in), although there are situations where it makes
+sense (from a product point-of-view) to enable features by default. This is
+expected and not an issue.
+
+It is not a requirement for experimental features to be behind a configuration flag,
+but one should be used if unsure.
+
+New experimental configuration flags should be added under the `experimental`
+configuration key (see the `synapse.config.experimental` file) and either explain
+(briefly) what is being enabled, or include the MSC number.

+# Password auth provider callbacks
+
+Password auth providers offer a way for server administrators to integrate
+their Synapse installation with an external authentication system. The callbacks can be
+registered by using the Module API's `register_password_auth_provider_callbacks` method.
+
+## Callbacks
+
+### `auth_checkers`
+
+_First introduced in Synapse v1.46.0_
+
+```
+ auth_checkers: Dict[Tuple[str,Tuple], Callable]
+```
+
+A dict mapping from tuples of a login type identifier (such as `m.login.password`) and a
+tuple of field names (such as `("password", "secret_thing")`) to authentication checking
+callbacks, which should be of the following form:
+
+```python
+async def check_auth(
+    user: str,
+    login_type: str,
+    login_dict: "synapse.module_api.JsonDict",
+) -> Optional[
+    Tuple[
+        str, 
+        Optional[Callable[["synapse.module_api.LoginResponse"], Awaitable[None]]]
+    ]
+]
+```
+
+The login type and field names should be provided by the user in the
+request to the `/login` API. [The Matrix specification](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/latest#authentication-types)
+defines some types, however user defined ones are also allowed.
+
+The callback is passed the `user` field provided by the client (which might not be in
+`@username:server` form), the login type, and a dictionary of login secrets passed by
+the client.
+
+If the authentication is successful, the module must return the user's Matrix ID (e.g. 
+`@alice:example.com`) and optionally a callback to be called with the response to the
+`/login` request. If the module doesn't wish to return a callback, it must return `None`
+instead.
+
+If the authentication is unsuccessful, the module must return `None`.
+
+If multiple modules register an auth checker for the same login type but with different
+fields, Synapse will refuse to start.
+
+If multiple modules register an auth checker for the same login type with the same fields,
+then the callbacks will be executed in order, until one returns a Matrix User ID (and
+optionally a callback). In that case, the return value of that callback will be accepted
+and subsequent callbacks will not be fired. If every callback returns `None`, then the
+authentication fails.
+
+### `check_3pid_auth`
+
+_First introduced in Synapse v1.46.0_
+
+```python
+async def check_3pid_auth(
+    medium: str, 
+    address: str,
+    password: str,
+) -> Optional[
+    Tuple[
+        str, 
+        Optional[Callable[["synapse.module_api.LoginResponse"], Awaitable[None]]]
+    ]
+]
+```
+
+Called when a user attempts to register or log in with a third party identifier,
+such as email. It is passed the medium (eg. `email`), an address (eg. `jdoe@example.com`)
+and the user's password.
+
+If the authentication is successful, the module must return the user's Matrix ID (e.g. 
+`@alice:example.com`) and optionally a callback to be called with the response to the `/login` request.
+If the module doesn't wish to return a callback, it must return None instead.
+
+If the authentication is unsuccessful, the module must return `None`.
+
+If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
+callback returns `None`, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first
+callback that does not return `None` will be used. If this happens, Synapse will not call
+any of the subsequent implementations of this callback. If every callback return `None`,
+the authentication is denied.
+
+### `on_logged_out`
+
+_First introduced in Synapse v1.46.0_
+
+```python
+async def on_logged_out(
+    user_id: str,
+    device_id: Optional[str],
+    access_token: str
+) -> None
+``` 
+Called during a logout request for a user. It is passed the qualified user ID, the ID of the
+deactivated device (if any: access tokens are occasionally created without an associated
+device ID), and the (now deactivated) access token.
+
+If multiple modules implement this callback, Synapse runs them all in order.
+
+## Example
+
+The example module below implements authentication checkers for two different login types: 
+-  `my.login.type` 
+    - Expects a `my_field` field to be sent to `/login`
+    - Is checked by the method: `self.check_my_login`
+- `m.login.password` (defined in [the spec](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/latest#password-based))
+    - Expects a `password` field to be sent to `/login`
+    - Is checked by the method: `self.check_pass`

+#### Docker images and Ansible playbooks
+
+There is an official synapse image available at
+<https://hub.docker.com/r/matrixdotorg/synapse> which can be used with
+the docker-compose file available at
+[contrib/docker](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/contrib/docker).
+Further information on this including configuration options is available in the README
+on hub.docker.com.
+
+Alternatively, Andreas Peters (previously Silvio Fricke) has contributed a
+Dockerfile to automate a synapse server in a single Docker image, at
+<https://hub.docker.com/r/avhost/docker-matrix/tags/>
+
+Slavi Pantaleev has created an Ansible playbook,
+which installs the offical Docker image of Matrix Synapse
+along with many other Matrix-related services (Postgres database, Element, coturn,
+ma1sd, SSL support, etc.).

+see the [Debian documentation](https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/)
+for information on how to use backports.
+
+If you are using Debian `sid` or testing, Synapse is available in the default
+repositories and it should be possible to install it simply with:
+
+```sh
+sudo apt install matrix-synapse
+```
+
+##### Downstream Ubuntu packages
+
+We do not recommend using the packages in the default Ubuntu repository
+at this time, as they are old and suffer from known security vulnerabilities.

-### Prebuilt packages
-
-As an alternative to installing from source, prebuilt packages are available
-for a number of platforms.
-
-#### Docker images and Ansible playbooks
-
-There is an official synapse image available at
-<https://hub.docker.com/r/matrixdotorg/synapse> which can be used with
-the docker-compose file available at
-[contrib/docker](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/contrib/docker).
-Further information on this including configuration options is available in the README
-on hub.docker.com.
-
-Alternatively, Andreas Peters (previously Silvio Fricke) has contributed a
-Dockerfile to automate a synapse server in a single Docker image, at
-<https://hub.docker.com/r/avhost/docker-matrix/tags/>
-
-Slavi Pantaleev has created an Ansible playbook,
-which installs the offical Docker image of Matrix Synapse
-along with many other Matrix-related services (Postgres database, Element, coturn,
-ma1sd, SSL support, etc.).
-For more details, see
-<https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy>
-
-#### Debian/Ubuntu
-
-##### Matrix.org packages
-
-Matrix.org provides Debian/Ubuntu packages of Synapse via
-<https://packages.matrix.org/debian/>.  To install the latest release:
-
-```sh
-sudo apt install -y lsb-release wget apt-transport-https
-sudo wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg https://packages.matrix.org/debian/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg
-echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.matrix.org/debian/ $(lsb_release -cs) main" |
-    sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/matrix-org.list
-sudo apt update
-sudo apt install matrix-synapse-py3
-```
-
-Packages are also published for release candidates. To enable the prerelease
-channel, add `prerelease` to the `sources.list` line. For example:
-
-```sh
-sudo wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg https://packages.matrix.org/debian/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg
-echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.matrix.org/debian/ $(lsb_release -cs) main prerelease" |
-    sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/matrix-org.list
-sudo apt update
-sudo apt install matrix-synapse-py3
-```
-
-The fingerprint of the repository signing key (as shown by `gpg
-/usr/share/keyrings/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg`) is
-`AAF9AE843A7584B5A3E4CD2BCF45A512DE2DA058`.
-
-##### Downstream Debian packages
-
-We do not recommend using the packages from the default Debian `buster`
-repository at this time, as they are old and suffer from known security
-vulnerabilities. You can install the latest version of Synapse from
-[our repository](#matrixorg-packages) or from `buster-backports`. Please
-see the [Debian documentation](https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/)
-for information on how to use backports.
-
-If you are using Debian `sid` or testing, Synapse is available in the default
-repositories and it should be possible to install it simply with:
-
-```sh
-sudo apt install matrix-synapse
-```
-
-##### Downstream Ubuntu packages

+Welcome to the documentation repository for Synapse, a 
+[Matrix](https://matrix.org) homeserver implementation developed by the matrix.org core 
+team.
+
+## Installing and using Synapse
+
+This documentation covers topics for **installation**, **configuration** and
+**maintainence** of your Synapse process:
+
+* Learn how to [install](setup/installation.md) and
+  [configure](usage/configuration/index.html) your own instance, perhaps with [Single
+  Sign-On](usage/configuration/user_authentication/index.html).
+
+* See how to [upgrade](upgrade.md) between Synapse versions.
+
+* Administer your instance using the [Admin
+  API](usage/administration/admin_api/index.html), installing [pluggable
+  modules](modules/index.html), or by accessing the [manhole](manhole.md).
+
+* Learn how to [read log lines](usage/administration/request_log.md), configure
+  [logging](usage/configuration/logging_sample_config.md) or set up [structured
+  logging](structured_logging.md).
+
+* Scale Synapse through additional [worker processes](workers.md).
+
+* Set up [monitoring and metrics](metrics-howto.md) to keep an eye on your
+  Synapse instance's performance.
+
+## Developing on Synapse
+
+Contributions are welcome! Synapse is primarily written in
+[Python](https://python.org). As a developer, you may be interested in the
+following documentation:
+
+* Read the [Contributing Guide](development/contributing_guide.md). It is meant
+  to walk new contributors through the process of developing and submitting a
+  change to the Synapse codebase (which is [hosted on
+  GitHub](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse)).
+
+* Set up your [development
+  environment](development/contributing_guide.md#2-what-do-i-need), then learn
+  how to [lint](development/contributing_guide.md#run-the-linters) and
+  [test](development/contributing_guide.md#8-test-test-test) your code.
+
+* Look at [the issue tracker](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues) for
+  bugs to fix or features to add. If you're new, it may be best to start with
+  those labeled [good first
+  issue](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22).
+
+* Understand [how Synapse is
+  built](development/internal_documentation/index.html), how to [migrate
+  database schemas](development/database_schema.md), learn about
+  [federation](federate.md) and how to [set up a local
+  federation](federate.md#running-a-demo-federation-of-synapses) for development.
+
+* We like to keep our `git` history clean. [Learn](development/git.md) how to
+  do so!
+
+* And finally, contribute to this documentation! The source for which is
+  [located here](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docs).
