-Unreleased
-==========
+Synapse 1.32.2 (2021-04-22)
+===========================
 
-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. No action is needed by server administrators, and we do not expect resource usage of the Redis instance to change dramatically.
+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
+```
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Fix the log lines of nested logging contexts. Broke in 1.32.0rc1. ([\#9829](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9829))
+
+
+Synapse 1.32.0rc1 (2021-04-13)
+==============================
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- Add a Synapse module for routing presence updates between users. ([\#9491](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9491))
+- Add an admin API to manage ratelimit for a specific user. ([\#9648](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9648))
+- Include request information in structured logging output. ([\#9654](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9654))
+- Add `order_by` to the admin API `GET /_synapse/admin/v2/users`. Contributed by @dklimpel. ([\#9691](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9691))
+- Replace the `room_invite_state_types` configuration setting with `room_prejoin_state`. ([\#9700](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9700))
+- Add experimental support for [MSC3083](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3083): restricting room access via group membership. ([\#9717](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9717), [\#9735](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9735))
+- Update experimental support for Spaces: include `m.room.create` in the room state sent with room-invites. ([\#9710](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9710))
+- Synapse now requires Python 3.6 or later. It also requires Postgres 9.6 or later or SQLite 3.22 or later. ([\#9766](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9766))
+
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Prevent `synapse_forward_extremities` and `synapse_excess_extremity_events` Prometheus metrics from initially reporting zero-values after startup. ([\#8926](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8926))
+- Fix recently added ratelimits to correctly honour the application service `rate_limited` flag. ([\#9711](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9711))

+
+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

+
+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) and SAML2 identity providers. If your server is configured to use single sign-on via an OIDC/OAuth2 or SAML2 IdP, you may need to make configuration changes. Please review [UPGRADE.rst](UPGRADE.rst) for more details on these changes.
+
+This release also changes escaping of variables in the HTML templates for SSO or email notifications. If you have customised these templates, please review [UPGRADE.rst](UPGRADE.rst) for more details on these changes.

-## How to contribute
+# 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](

 Synapse's code style is documented [here](docs/code_style.md). Please follow
 it, including the conventions for the [sample configuration
 file](docs/code_style.md#configuration-file-format).
 
-Many of the conventions are enforced by scripts which are run as part of the
-[continuous integration system](#continuous-integration-and-testing). To help
-check if you have followed the code style, you can run `scripts-dev/lint.sh`
-locally. You'll need python 3.6 or later, and to install a number of tools:
+There is a growing amount of documentation located in the [docs](docs)
+directory. This documentation is intended primarily for sysadmins running their
+own Synapse instance, as well as developers interacting externally with
+Synapse. [docs/dev](docs/dev) exists primarily to house documentation for
+Synapse developers. [docs/admin_api](docs/admin_api) houses documentation
+regarding Synapse's Admin API, which is used mostly by sysadmins and external
+service developers.

+## 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!

-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

+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

+upon attempting to use a valid renewal token more than once.
+
+
+Upgrading to v1.32.0
+====================
+
+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.)
+
 Upgrading to v1.27.0
 ====================
 
+Changes to callback URI for OAuth2 / OpenID Connect and SAML2
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This version changes the URI used for callbacks from OAuth2 and SAML2 identity providers:
+
+* 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.
+
+  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.
+
+Setting `SYNAPSE_WORKERS_WRITE_LOGS_TO_DISK=1` will cause worker logs to be written to
+`<data_dir>/logs/<worker_name>.log`. Logs are kept for 1 week and rotate every day at 00:
+00, according to the container's clock. Logging for the main process must still be 
+configured by modifying the homeserver's log config in your Synapse data volume.
