+
+Synapse 1.81.0 (2023-04-11)
+===========================
+
+Synapse now attempts the versioned appservice paths before falling back to the
+[legacy paths](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.6/application-service-api/#legacy-routes).
+Usage of the legacy routes should be considered deprecated.
+
+Additionally, Synapse has supported sending the application service access token
+via [the `Authorization` header](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.6/application-service-api/#authorization)
+since v1.70.0. For backwards compatibility it is *also* sent as the `access_token`
+query parameter. This is insecure and should be considered deprecated.
+
+A future version of Synapse (v1.88.0 or later) will remove support for legacy
+application service routes and query parameter authorization.
+
+
+No significant changes since 1.81.0rc2.
+

+
+Synapse 1.76.0 (2023-01-31)
+===========================
+
+The 1.76 release is the first to enable faster joins ([MSC3706](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3706) and [MSC3902](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3902)) by default. Admins can opt-out: see [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.76/docs/upgrade.md#faster-joins-are-enabled-by-default) for more details.
+
+The upgrade from 1.75 to 1.76 changes the account data replication streams in a backwards-incompatible manner. Server operators running a multi-worker deployment should consult [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.76/docs/upgrade.md#changes-to-the-account-data-replication-streams).
+
+Those who are `poetry install`ing from source using our lockfile should ensure their poetry version is 1.3.2 or higher; [see upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.76/docs/upgrade.md#minimum-version-of-poetry-is-now-132).
+
+
+Notes on faster joins
+---------------------
+
+The faster joins project sees the most benefit when joining a room with a large number of members (joined or historical). We expect it to be particularly useful for joining large public rooms like the [Matrix HQ](https://matrix.to/#/#matrix:matrix.org) or [Synapse Admins](https://matrix.to/#/#synapse:matrix.org) rooms.
+
+After a faster join, Synapse considers that room "partially joined". In this state, you should be able to
+
+- read incoming messages;
+- see incoming state changes, e.g. room topic changes; and
+- send messages, if the room is unencrypted.
+
+Synapse has to spend more effort to complete the join in the background. Once this finishes, you will be able to
+
+- send messages, if the room is in encrypted;
+- retrieve room history from before your join, if permitted by the room settings; and
+- access the full list of room members.
+
+
+Improved Documentation

+# Schema symlinks
+
+This directory contains symlinks to the latest dump of the postgres full schema. This is useful to have, as it allows IDEs to understand our schema and provide autocomplete, linters, inspections, etc.
+
+In particular, the DataGrip functionality in IntelliJ's products seems to only consider files called `*.sql` when defining a schema from DDL; `*.sql.postgres` will be ignored. To get around this we symlink those files to ones ending in `.sql`. We've chosen to ignore the `.sql.sqlite` schema dumps here, as they're not intended for production use (and are much quicker to test against).
+
+## Example
+![](datagrip-aware-of-schema.png)
+
+## Caveats
+
+- Doesn't include temporary tables created ad-hoc by Synapse.
+- Postgres only. IDEs will likely be confused by SQLite-specific queries.
+- Will not include migrations created after the latest schema dump.
+- Symlinks might confuse checkouts on Windows systems.
+
+## Instructions
+
+### Jetbrains IDEs with DataGrip plugin
+
+- View -> Tool Windows -> Database
+- `+` Icon -> DDL Data Source
+- Pick a name, e.g. `Synapse schema dump`
+- Under sources, click `+`.
+- Add an entry with Path pointing to this directory, and dialect set to PostgreSQL.
+- OK, and OK.
+- IDE should now be aware of the schema.
+- Try control-clicking on a table name in a bit of SQL e.g. in `_get_forgotten_rooms_for_user_txn`.

+# `lnav` config for Synapse logs
+
+[lnav](https://lnav.org/) is a log-viewing tool. It is particularly useful when 
+you need to interleave multiple log files, or for exploring a large log file
+with regex filters. The downside is that it is not as ubiquitous as tools like
+`less`, `grep`, etc.
+
+This directory contains an `lnav` [log format definition](
+    https://docs.lnav.org/en/v0.10.1/formats.html#defining-a-new-format
+) for Synapse logs as
+emitted by Synapse with the default [logging configuration](
+    https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#log_config
+). It supports lnav 0.10.1 because that's what's packaged by my distribution.
+
+This should allow lnav:
+
+- to interpret timestamps, allowing log interleaving;
+- to interpret log severity levels, allowing colouring by log level(!!!);
+- to interpret request IDs, allowing you to skip through a specific request; and
+- to highlight room, event and user IDs in logs.
+
+See also https://gist.github.com/benje/e2ab750b0a81d11920d83af637d289f7 for a
+ similar example.
+
+## Example
+
+[![asciicast](https://asciinema.org/a/556133.svg)](https://asciinema.org/a/556133)
+
+## Tips
+
+- `lnav -i /path/to/synapse/checkout/contrib/lnav/synapse-log-format.json`
+- `lnav my_synapse_log_file` or `lnav synapse_log_files.*`, etc.
+- `lnav --help` for CLI help.
+
+Within lnav itself:
+
+- `?` for help within lnav itself.
+- `q` to quit.
+- `/` to search a-la `less` and `vim`, then `n` and `N` to continue searching 
+  down and up.
+- Use `o` and `O` to skip through logs based on the request ID (`POST-1234`, or
+  else the value of the [`request_id_header`](
+    https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html?highlight=request_id_header#listeners
+  ) header). This may get confused if the same request ID is repeated among 
+  multiple files or process restarts.
+- ???
+- Profit

 not recommended, as it can be difficult to configure the TLS certificates correctly in
 this case, and it offers little advantage over `.well-known` delegation.
 
+Please keep in mind that server delegation is a function of server-server communication,
+and as such using SRV DNS records will not cover use cases involving client-server comms.
+This means setting global client settings (such as a Jitsi endpoint, or disabling
+creating new rooms as encrypted by default, etc) will still require that you serve a file
+from the `https://<server_name>/.well-known/` endpoints defined in the spec! If you are
+considering using SRV DNS delegation to avoid serving files from this endpoint, consider
+the impact that you will not be able to change those client-based default values globally,
+and will be relegated to the featureset of the configuration of each individual client.

 record should look like and how Synapse will use it in [the Matrix

+# How do faster joins work?
+
+This is a work-in-progress set of notes with two goals:
+- act as a reference, explaining how Synapse implements faster joins; and
+- record the rationale behind our choices.
+
+See also [MSC3902](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3902).
+
+The key idea is described by [MSC706](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3902). This allows servers to
+request a lightweight response to the federation `/send_join` endpoint.
+This is called a **faster join**, also known as a **partial join**. In these
+notes we'll usually use the word "partial" as it matches the database schema.
+
+## Overview: processing events in a partially-joined room
+
+The response to a partial join consists of
+- the requested join event `J`,
+- a list of the servers in the room (according to the state before `J`),
+- a subset of the state of the room before `J`,
+- the full auth chain of that state subset.
+
+Synapse marks the room as partially joined by adding a row to the database table
+`partial_state_rooms`. It also marks the join event `J` as "partially stated",
+meaning that we have neither received nor computed the full state before/after
+`J`. This is done by adding a row to `partial_state_events`.

+
+While partially joined to a room, Synapse receives events `E` from remote
+homeservers as normal, and can create events at the request of its local users.
+However, we run into trouble when we enforce the [checks on an event].
+
+> 1. Is a valid event, otherwise it is dropped. For an event to be valid, it
+     must contain a room_id, and it must comply with the event format of that
+>    room version.
+> 2. Passes signature checks, otherwise it is dropped.
+> 3. Passes hash checks, otherwise it is redacted before being processed further.
+> 4. Passes authorization rules based on the event’s auth events, otherwise it
+>    is rejected.
+> 5. **Passes authorization rules based on the state before the event, otherwise
+>    it is rejected.**
+> 6. **Passes authorization rules based on the current state of the room,
+>    otherwise it is “soft failed”.**
+
+[checks on an event]: https://spec.matrix.org/v1.5/server-server-api/#checks-performed-on-receipt-of-a-pdu
+
+We can enforce checks 1--4 without any problems.
+But we cannot enforce checks 5 or 6 with complete certainty, since Synapse does
+not know the full state before `E`, nor that of the room.
+
+### Partial state
+
+Instead, we make a best-effort approximation.
+While the room is considered partially joined, Synapse tracks the "partial
+state" before events.
+This works in a similar way as regular state:
+
+- The partial state before `J` is that given to us by the partial join response.
+- The partial state before an event `E` is the resolution of the partial states
+  after each of `E`'s `prev_event`s.
+- If `E` is rejected or a message event, the partial state after `E` is the
+  partial state before `E`.
+- Otherwise, the partial state after `E` is the partial state before `E`, plus
+  `E` itself.
+
+More concisely, partial state propagates just like full state; the only
+difference is that we "seed" it with an incomplete initial state.
+Synapse records that we have only calculated partial state for this event with
+a row in `partial_state_events`.
+
+While the room remains partially stated, check 5 on incoming events to that
+room becomes:
+
+> 5. Passes authorization rules based on **the resolution between the partial
+>    state before `E` and `E`'s auth events.** If the event fails to pass
+>    authorization rules, it is rejected.
+
+Additionally, check 6 is deleted: no soft-failures are enforced.
+
+While partially joined, the current partial state of the room is defined as the
+resolution across the partial states after all forward extremities in the room.
+
+_Remark._ Events with partial state are _not_ considered
+[outliers](../room-dag-concepts.md#outliers).
+
+### Approximation error
+
+Using partial state means the auth checks can fail in a few different ways[^2].
+
+[^2]: Is this exhaustive?
+
+- We may erroneously accept an incoming event in check 5 based on partial state
+  when it would have been rejected based on full state, or vice versa.
+- This means that an event could erroneously be added to the current partial
+  state of the room when it would not be present in the full state of the room,
+  or vice versa.
+- Additionally, we may have skipped soft-failing an event that would have been
+  soft-failed based on full state.
+
+(Note that the discrepancies described in the last two bullets are user-visible.)
+
+This means that we have to be very careful when we want to lookup pieces of room
+state in a partially-joined room. Our approximation of the state may be
+incorrect or missing. But we can make some educated guesses. If
+
+- our partial state is likely to be correct, or
+- the consequences of our partial state being incorrect are minor,
+
+then we proceed as normal, and let the resync process fix up any mistakes (see
+below).
+
+When is our partial state likely to be correct?
+
+- It's more accurate the closer we are to the partial join event. (So we should
+  ideally complete the resync as soon as possible.)
+- Non-member events: we will have received them as part of the partial join
+  response, if they were part of the room state at that point. We may
+  incorrectly accept or reject updates to that state (at first because we lack
+  remote membership information; later because of compounding errors), so these
+  can become incorrect over time.
+- Local members' memberships: we are the only ones who can create join and
+  knock events for our users. We can't be completely confident in the
+  correctness of bans, invites and kicks from other homeservers, but the resync
+  process should correct any mistakes.
+- Remote members' memberships: we did not receive these in the /send_join
+  response, so we have essentially no idea if these are correct or not.
+
+In short, we deem it acceptable to trust the partial state for non-membership
+and local membership events. For remote membership events, we wait for the
+resync to complete, at which point we have the full state of the room and can
+proceed as normal.
+
+### Fixing the approximation with a resync
+
+The partial-state approximation is only a temporary affair. In the background,
+synapse beings a "resync" process. This is a continuous loop, starting at the
+partial join event and proceeding downwards through the event graph. For each 
+`E` seen in the room since partial join, Synapse will fetch 
+
+- the event ids in the state of the room before `E`, via 
+  [`/state_ids`](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.5/server-server-api/#get_matrixfederationv1state_idsroomid);
+- the event ids in the full auth chain of `E`, included in the `/state_ids` 
+  response; and
+- any events from the previous two bullets that Synapse hasn't persisted, via
+  [`/state](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.5/server-server-api/#get_matrixfederationv1stateroomid).
+
+This means Synapse has (or can compute) the full state before `E`, which allows
+Synapse to properly authorise or reject `E`. At this point ,the event
+is considered to have "full state" rather than "partial state". We record this
+by removing `E` from the `partial_state_events` table.
+
+\[**TODO:** Does Synapse persist a new state group for the full state
+before `E`, or do we alter the (partial-)state group in-place? Are state groups
+ever marked as partially-stated? \]
+
+This scheme means it is possible for us to have accepted and sent an event to 
+clients, only to reject it during the resync. From a client's perspective, the 
+effect is similar to a retroactive 
+state change due to state resolution---i.e. a "state reset".[^3]
+
+[^3]: Clients should refresh caches to detect such a change. Rumour has it that 
+sliding sync will fix this.
+
+When all events since the join `J` have been fully-stated, the room resync
+process is complete. We record this by removing the room from
+`partial_state_rooms`.
+
+## Faster joins on workers
+
+For the time being, the resync process happens on the master worker.
+A new replication stream `un_partial_stated_room` is added. Whenever a resync
+completes and a partial-state room becomes fully stated, a new message is sent
+into that stream containing the room ID.
+
+## Notes on specific cases
+
+> **NB.** The notes below are rough. Some of them are hidden under `<details>`
+disclosures because they have yet to be implemented in mainline Synapse.
+
+### Creating events during a partial join
+
+When sending out messages during a partial join, we assume our partial state is 
+accurate and proceed as normal. For this to have any hope of succeeding at all,
+our partial state must contain an entry for each of the (type, state key) pairs
+[specified by the auth rules](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.3/rooms/v10/#authorization-rules):
+
+- `m.room.create`
+- `m.room.join_rules`
+- `m.room.power_levels`
+- `m.room.third_party_invite`
+- `m.room.member`
+
+The first four of these should be present in the state before `J` that is given
+to us in the partial join response; only membership events are omitted. In order
+for us to consider the user joined, we must have their membership event. That
+means the only possible omission is the target's membership in an invite, kick
+or ban.
+
+The worst possibility is that we locally invite someone who is banned according to
+the full state, because we lack their ban in our current partial state. The rest 
+of the federation---at least, those who are fully joined---should correctly 
+enforce the [membership transition constraints](
+    https://spec.matrix.org/v1.3/client-server-api/#room-membership
+). So any the erroneous invite should be ignored by fully-joined
+homeservers and resolved by the resync for partially-joined homeservers.
+
+
+
+In more generality, there are two problems we're worrying about here:
+
+- We might create an event that is valid under our partial state, only to later
+  find out that is actually invalid according to the full state.
+- Or: we might refuse to create an event that is invalid under our partial
+  state, even though it would be perfectly valid under the full state.
+
+However we expect such problems to be unlikely in practise, because
+
+- We trust that the room has sensible power levels, e.g. that bad actors with
+  high power levels are demoted before their ban.
+- We trust that the resident server provides us up-to-date power levels, join
+  rules, etc.
+- State changes in rooms are relatively infrequent, and the resync period is
+  relatively quick.
+
+#### Sending out the event over federation
+
+**TODO:** needs prose fleshing out.
+
+Normally: send out in a fed txn to all HSes in the room.
+We only know that some HSes were in the room at some point. Wat do.
+Send it out to the list of servers from the first join.
+**TODO** what do we do here if we have full state?
+If the prev event was created by us, we can risk sending it to the wrong HS. (Motivation: privacy concern of the content. Not such a big deal for a public room or an encrypted room. But non-encrypted invite-only...)
+But don't want to send out sensitive data in other HS's events in this way.
+
+Suppose we discover after resync that we shouldn't have sent out one our events (not a prev_event) to a target HS. Not much we can do.
+What about if we didn't send them an event but shouldn't've?
+E.g. what if someone joined from a new HS shortly after you did? We wouldn't talk to them.
+Could imagine sending out the "Missed" events after the resync but... painful to work out what they shuld have seen if they joined/left.
+Instead, just send them the latest event (if they're still in the room after resync) and let them backfill.(?)
+- Don't do this currently.
+- If anyone who has received our messages sends a message to a HS we missed, they can backfill our messages
+- Gap: rooms which are infrequently used and take a long time to resync.
+
+### Joining after a partial join
+
+**NB.** Not yet implemented.
+
+<details>
+
+**TODO:** needs prose fleshing out. Liase with Matthieu. Explain why /send_join
+(Rich was surprised we didn't just create it locally. Answer: to try and avoid
+a join which then gets rejected after resync.)
+
+We don't know for sure that any join we create would be accepted.
+E.g. the joined user might have been banned; the join rules might have changed in a way that we didn't realise... some way in which the partial state was mistaken.
+Instead, do another partial make-join/send-join handshake to confirm that the join works.
+- Probably going to get a bunch of duplicate state events and auth events.... but the point of partial joins is that these should be small. Many are already persisted = good.
+- What if the second send_join response includes a different list of reisdent HSes? Could ignore it.
+  - Could even have a special flag that says "just make me a join", i.e. don't bother giving me state or servers in room. Deffo want the auth chain tho.
+- SQ: wrt device lists it's a lot safer to ignore it!!!!!
+- What if the state at the second join is inconsistent with what we have? Ignore it?
+
+</details>
+
+### Leaving (and kicks and bans) after a partial join
+
+**NB.** Not yet implemented.
+
+<details>
+
+When you're fully joined to a room, to have `U` leave a room their homeserver
+needs to
+
+- create a new leave event for `U` which will be accepted by other homeservers,
+  and
+- send that event `U` out to the homeservers in the federation.
+
+When is a leave event accepted? See
+[v10 auth rules](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.5/rooms/v10/#authorization-rules):
+
+> 4. If type is m.room.member: [...]
+     >
+     >    5. If membership is leave:
+             >
+             >       1. If the sender matches state_key, allow if and only if that user’s current membership state is invite, join, or knock.
+>       2. [...]
+
+I think this means that (well-formed!) self-leaves are governed entirely by
+4.5.1. This means that if we correctly calculate state which says that `U` is
+invited, joined or knocked and include it in the leave's auth events, our event
+is accepted by checks 4 and 5 on incoming events.
+
+> 4. Passes authorization rules based on the event’s auth events, otherwise
+     >    it is rejected.
+> 5. Passes authorization rules based on the state before the event, otherwise
+     >    it is rejected.
+
+The only way to fail check 6 is if the receiving server's current state of the
+room says that `U` is banned, has left, or has no membership event. But this is
+fine: the receiving server already thinks that `U` isn't in the room.
+
+> 6. Passes authorization rules based on the current state of the room,
+     >    otherwise it is “soft failed”.
+
+For the second point (publishing the leave event), the best thing we can do is
+to is publish to all HSes we know to be currently in the room. If they miss that
+event, they might send us traffic in the room that we don't care about. This is
+a problem with leaving after a "full" join; we don't seek to fix this with
+partial joins.
+
+(With that said: there's nothing machine-readable in the /send response. I don't
+think we can deduce "destination has left the room" from a failure to /send an
+event into that room?)
+
+#### Can we still do this during a partial join?
+
+We can create leave events and can choose what gets included in our auth events,
+so we can be sure that we pass check 4 on incoming events. For check 5, we might
+have an incorrect view of the state before an event.
+The only way we might erroneously think a leave is valid is if
+
+- the partial state before the leave has `U` joined, invited or knocked, but
+- the full state before the leave has `U` banned, left or not present,
+
+in which case the leave doesn't make anything worse: other HSes already consider
+us as not in the room, and will continue to do so after seeing the leave.
+
+The remaining obstacle is then: can we safely broadcast the leave event? We may
+miss servers or incorrectly think that a server is in the room. Or the
+destination server may be offline and miss the transaction containing our leave
+event.This should self-heal when they see an event whose `prev_events` descends
+from our leave.
+
+Another option we considered was to use federation `/send_leave` to ask a
+fully-joined server to send out the event on our behalf. But that introduces
+complexity without much benefit. Besides, as Rich put it,
+
+> sending out leaves is pretty best-effort currently
+
+so this is probably good enough as-is.
+
+#### Cleanup after the last leave
+
+**TODO**: what cleanup is necessary? Is it all just nice-to-have to save unused
+work?

+Note that this callback is _not_ called if a user attempts to unbind their third-party

+## Caching
+
+_Added in Synapse 1.74.0._
+
+Modules can leverage Synapse's caching tools to manage their own cached functions. This
+can be helpful for modules that need to repeatedly request the same data from the database
+or a remote service.
+
+Functions that need to be wrapped with a cache need to be decorated with a `@cached()`
+decorator (which can be imported from `synapse.module_api`) and registered with the
+[`ModuleApi.register_cached_function`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.77/synapse/module_api/__init__.py#L888)
+API when initialising the module. If the module needs to invalidate an entry in a cache,
+it needs to use the [`ModuleApi.invalidate_cache`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.77/synapse/module_api/__init__.py#L904)
+API, with the function to invalidate the cache of and the key(s) of the entry to
+invalidate.
+
+Below is an example of a simple module using a cached function:
+
+```python
+from typing import Any
+from synapse.module_api import cached, ModuleApi
+
+class MyModule:
+    def __init__(self, config: Any, api: ModuleApi):
+        self.api = api
+        
+        # Register the cached function so Synapse knows how to correctly invalidate
+        # entries for it.
+        self.api.register_cached_function(self.get_user_from_id)
+
+    @cached()
+    async def get_department_for_user(self, user_id: str) -> str:
+        """A function with a cache."""
+        # Request a department from an external service.
+        return await self.http_client.get_json(
+            "https://int.example.com/users", {"user_id": user_id)
+        )["department"]
+
+    async def do_something_with_users(self) -> None:
+        """Calls the cached function and then invalidates an entry in its cache."""
+        
+        user_id = "@alice:example.com"
+        
+        # Get the user. Since get_department_for_user is wrapped with a cache,
+        # the return value for this user_id will be cached.
+        department = await self.get_department_for_user(user_id)
+        
+        # Do something with `department`...
+        
+        # Let's say something has changed with our user, and the entry we have for
+        # them in the cache is out of date, so we want to invalidate it.
+        await self.api.invalidate_cache(self.get_department_for_user, (user_id,))
+```

-can be used to retrieve information on the authenticated user. As the Synapse
-login mechanism needs an attribute to uniquely identify users, and that endpoint
-does not return a `sub` property, an alternative `subject_claim` has to be set.
-
-1. Create a new OAuth application: [https://github.com/settings/applications/new](https://github.com/settings/applications/new).
-2. Set the callback URL to `[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/callback`.

+
+Facebook do have an [OIDC discovery endpoint](https://www.facebook.com/.well-known/openid-configuration),
+but it has a `response_types_supported` which excludes "code" (which we rely on, and
+is even mentioned in their [documentation](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/manually-build-a-login-flow#login)),
+so we have to disable discovery and configure the URIs manually.
+
+### GitHub
+
+[GitHub][github-idp] is a bit special as it is not an OpenID Connect compliant provider, but
+just a regular OAuth2 provider.
+
+The [`/user` API endpoint](https://developer.github.com/v3/users/#get-the-authenticated-user)
+can be used to retrieve information on the authenticated user. As the Synapse
+login mechanism needs an attribute to uniquely identify users, and that endpoint
+does not return a `sub` property, an alternative `subject_claim` has to be set.
+
+1. Create a new OAuth application: [https://github.com/settings/applications/new](https://github.com/settings/applications/new).
+2. Set the callback URL to `[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/callback`.
+
+Synapse config:
+
+```yaml
+oidc_providers:
+  - idp_id: github
+    idp_name: Github

+        subject_claim: "id"
+        localpart_template: "{{ user.login }}"
+        display_name_template: "{{ user.name }}"
+```
+
+### GitLab
+
+1. Create a [new application](https://gitlab.com/profile/applications).
+2. Add the `read_user` and `openid` scopes.
+3. Add this Callback URL: `[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/callback`
+
+Synapse config:
+
+```yaml
+oidc_providers:

+
+### Gitea
+
+Gitea is, like Github, not an OpenID provider, but just an OAuth2 provider.
+
+The [`/user` API endpoint](https://try.gitea.io/api/swagger#/user/userGetCurrent)
+can be used to retrieve information on the authenticated user. As the Synapse
+login mechanism needs an attribute to uniquely identify users, and that endpoint
+does not return a `sub` property, an alternative `subject_claim` has to be set.
+
+1. Create a new application.
+2. Add this Callback URL: `[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/callback`
+
+Synapse config:

+        display_name_template: "{{ user.full_name }}"
+```
+
+### Google
+
+[Google][google-idp] is an OpenID certified authentication and authorisation provider.
+
+1. Set up a project in the Google API Console (see 
+   [documentation](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/openid-connect#appsetup)).
+3. Add an "OAuth Client ID" for a Web Application under "Credentials".
+4. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret, and add the following to your synapse config:
+   ```yaml
+   oidc_providers:
+     - idp_id: google
+       idp_name: Google
+       idp_brand: "google"  # optional: styling hint for clients
+       issuer: "https://accounts.google.com/"
+       client_id: "your-client-id" # TO BE FILLED
+       client_secret: "your-client-secret" # TO BE FILLED
+       scopes: ["openid", "profile", "email"] # email is optional, read below
+       user_mapping_provider:
+         config:

+           display_name_template: "{{ user.name }}"
+           email_template: "{{ user.email }}" # needs "email" in scopes above
+   ```
+4. Back in the Google console, add this Authorized redirect URI: `[synapse
+   public baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/callback`.
+
+### Keycloak
+
+[Keycloak][keycloak-idp] is an opensource IdP maintained by Red Hat.
+
+Keycloak supports OIDC Back-Channel Logout, which sends logout notification to Synapse, so that Synapse users get logged out when they log out from Keycloak.
+This can be optionally enabled by setting `backchannel_logout_enabled` to `true` in the Synapse configuration, and by setting the "Backchannel Logout URL" in Keycloak.
+
+Follow the [Getting Started Guide](https://www.keycloak.org/guides) to install Keycloak and set up a realm.
+
+1. Click `Clients` in the sidebar and click `Create`
+
+2. Fill in the fields as below:
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-----------|-----------|
+| Client ID | `synapse` |
+| Client Protocol | `openid-connect` |
+
+3. Click `Save`
+4. Fill in the fields as below:
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-----------|-----------|
+| Client ID | `synapse` |
+| Enabled | `On` |
+| Client Protocol | `openid-connect` |
+| Access Type | `confidential` |
+| Valid Redirect URIs | `[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/callback` |
+| Backchannel Logout URL (optional) | `[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/backchannel_logout` |
+| Backchannel Logout Session Required (optional) | `On` |
+
+5. Click `Save`
+6. On the Credentials tab, update the fields:
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| Client Authenticator | `Client ID and Secret` |
+
+7. Click `Regenerate Secret`
+8. Copy Secret
+
+```yaml

+```
+
+### LemonLDAP
+
+[LemonLDAP::NG][lemonldap] is an open-source IdP solution.
+
+1. Create an OpenID Connect Relying Parties in LemonLDAP::NG
+2. The parameters are:
+- Client ID under the basic menu of the new Relying Parties (`Options > Basic >
+  Client ID`)
+- Client secret (`Options > Basic > Client secret`)
+- JWT Algorithm: RS256 within the security menu of the new Relying Parties
+  (`Options > Security > ID Token signature algorithm` and `Options > Security >
+  Access Token signature algorithm`)
+- Scopes: OpenID, Email and Profile
+- Allowed redirection addresses for login (`Options > Basic > Allowed
+  redirection addresses for login` ) :
+  `[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/callback`
+
+Synapse config:
+```yaml
+oidc_providers:
+  - idp_id: lemonldap
+    idp_name: lemonldap
+    discover: true
+    issuer: "https://auth.example.org/" # TO BE FILLED: replace with your domain
+    client_id: "your client id" # TO BE FILLED
+    client_secret: "your client secret" # TO BE FILLED
+    scopes:
+      - "openid"
+      - "profile"
+      - "email"
+    user_mapping_provider:
+      config:
+        localpart_template: "{{ user.preferred_username }}}"
+        # TO BE FILLED: If your users have names in LemonLDAP::NG and you want those in Synapse, this should be replaced with user.name|capitalize or any valid filter.
+        display_name_template: "{{ user.preferred_username|capitalize }}"
+```
+
+### Mastodon
+
+[Mastodon](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/) instances provide an [OAuth API](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/oauth/), allowing those instances to be used as a single sign-on provider for Synapse.
+
+The first step is to register Synapse as an application with your Mastodon instance, using the [Create an application API](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/apps/#create) (see also [here](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/client/token/)). There are several ways to do this, but in the example below we are using CURL.
+
+This example assumes that:
+* the Mastodon instance website URL is `https://your.mastodon.instance.url`, and
+* Synapse will be registered as an app named `my_synapse_app`.
+
+Send the following request, substituting the value of `synapse_public_baseurl` from your Synapse installation.
+```sh
+curl -d "client_name=my_synapse_app&redirect_uris=https://[synapse_public_baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/callback" -X POST https://your.mastodon.instance.url/api/v1/apps
+```
+
+You should receive a response similar to the following. Make sure to save it.
+```json
+{"client_id":"someclientid_123","client_secret":"someclientsecret_123","id":"12345","name":"my_synapse_app","redirect_uri":"https://[synapse_public_baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/callback","website":null,"vapid_key":"somerandomvapidkey_123"}
+```
+
+As the Synapse login mechanism needs an attribute to uniquely identify users, and Mastodon's endpoint does not return a `sub` property, an alternative `subject_claim` has to be set. Your Synapse configuration should include the following:
+
+```yaml
+oidc_providers:
+  - idp_id: my_mastodon
+    idp_name: "Mastodon Instance Example"
+    discover: false
+    issuer: "https://your.mastodon.instance.url/@admin"
+    client_id: "someclientid_123"    
+    client_secret: "someclientsecret_123"
+    authorization_endpoint: "https://your.mastodon.instance.url/oauth/authorize"
+    token_endpoint: "https://your.mastodon.instance.url/oauth/token"
+    userinfo_endpoint: "https://your.mastodon.instance.url/api/v1/accounts/verify_credentials"
+    scopes: ["read"]
+    user_mapping_provider:
+      config:
+        subject_claim: "id"
+```
+
+Note that the fields `client_id` and `client_secret` are taken from the CURL response above.
+
+### Shibboleth with OIDC Plugin
+
+[Shibboleth](https://www.shibboleth.net/) is an open Standard IdP solution widely used by Universities.
+
+1. Shibboleth needs the [OIDC Plugin](https://shibboleth.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IDPPLUGINS/pages/1376878976/OIDC+OP) installed and working correctly.
+2. Create a new config on the IdP Side, ensure that the `client_id` and `client_secret`
+   are randomly generated data.
+```json
+{
+    "client_id": "SOME-CLIENT-ID",
+    "client_secret": "SOME-SUPER-SECRET-SECRET",
+    "response_types": ["code"],
+    "grant_types": ["authorization_code"],
+    "scope": "openid profile email",
+    "redirect_uris": ["https://[synapse public baseurl]/_synapse/client/oidc/callback"]
+}
+```
+
+Synapse config:
+
+```yaml

+# Upgrading to v1.81.0
+
+## Application service path & authentication deprecations
+
+Synapse now attempts the versioned appservice paths before falling back to the
+[legacy paths](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.6/application-service-api/#legacy-routes).
+Usage of the legacy routes should be considered deprecated.
+
+Additionally, Synapse has supported sending the application service access token
+via [the `Authorization` header](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.6/application-service-api/#authorization)
+since v1.70.0. For backwards compatibility it is *also* sent as the `access_token`
+query parameter. This is insecure and should be considered deprecated.
+
+A future version of Synapse (v1.88.0 or later) will remove support for legacy
+application service routes and query parameter authorization.
+
+# Upgrading to v1.80.0
+
+## Reporting events error code change
+
+Before this update, the
+[`POST /_matrix/client/v3/rooms/{roomId}/report/{eventId}`](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.6/client-server-api/#post_matrixclientv3roomsroomidreporteventid)
+endpoint would return a `403` if a user attempted to report an event that they did not have access to.
+This endpoint will now return a `404` in this case instead.
+
+Clients that implement event reporting should check that their error handling code will handle this
+change.
+
+# Upgrading to v1.79.0
+
+## The `on_threepid_bind` module callback method has been deprecated
+
+Synapse v1.79.0 deprecates the
+[`on_threepid_bind`](modules/third_party_rules_callbacks.md#on_threepid_bind)
+"third-party rules" Synapse module callback method in favour of a new module method,
+[`on_add_user_third_party_identifier`](modules/third_party_rules_callbacks.md#on_add_user_third_party_identifier).
+`on_threepid_bind` will be removed in a future version of Synapse. You should check whether any Synapse
+modules in use in your deployment are making use of `on_threepid_bind`, and update them where possible.
+
+The arguments and functionality of the new method are the same.
+
+The justification behind the name change is that the old method's name, `on_threepid_bind`, was
+misleading. A user is considered to "bind" their third-party ID to their Matrix ID only if they
+do so via an [identity server](https://spec.matrix.org/latest/identity-service-api/)
+(so that users on other homeservers may find them). But this method was not called in that case -
+it was only called when a user added a third-party identifier on the local homeserver.
+
+Module developers may also be interested in the related
+[`on_remove_user_third_party_identifier`](modules/third_party_rules_callbacks.md#on_remove_user_third_party_identifier)
+module callback method that was also added in Synapse v1.79.0. This new method is called when a
+user removes a third-party identifier from their account.
+
+# Upgrading to v1.78.0
+
+## Deprecate the `/_synapse/admin/v1/media/<server_name>/delete` admin API
+
+Synapse 1.78.0 replaces the `/_synapse/admin/v1/media/<server_name>/delete`
+admin API with an identical endpoint at `/_synapse/admin/v1/media/delete`. Please
+update your tooling to use the new endpoint. The deprecated version will be removed
+in a future release.
+
+# Upgrading to v1.76.0
+
+## Faster joins are enabled by default
+
+When joining a room for the first time, Synapse 1.76.0 will request a partial join from the other server by default. Previously, server admins had to opt-in to this using an experimental config flag.
+
+Server admins can opt out of this feature for the time being by setting
+
+```yaml
+experimental:
+    faster_joins: false
+```
+
+in their server config.
+
+## Changes to the account data replication streams
+
+Synapse has changed the format of the account data and devices replication
+streams (between workers). This is a forwards- and backwards-incompatible
+change: v1.75 workers cannot process account data replicated by v1.76 workers,
+and vice versa.
+
+Once all workers are upgraded to v1.76 (or downgraded to v1.75), account data
+and device replication will resume as normal.
+
+## Minimum version of Poetry is now 1.3.2
+
+The minimum supported version of Poetry is now 1.3.2 (previously 1.2.0, [since 
+Synapse 1.67](#upgrading-to-v1670)). If you have used `poetry install` to 
+install Synapse from a source checkout, you should upgrade poetry: see its
+[installation instructions](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation).
+For all other installation methods, no acction is required.
+
+# Upgrading to v1.74.0
+
+## Unicode support in user search
+
+This version introduces optional support for an [improved user search dealing with Unicode characters](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/14464).
+
+If you want to take advantage of this feature you need to install PyICU,
+the ICU native dependency and its development headers
+so that PyICU can build since no prebuilt wheels are available.
+
+You can follow [the PyICU documentation](https://pypi.org/project/PyICU/) to do so,
+and then do `pip install matrix-synapse[user-search]` for a PyPI install.
+
+Docker images and Debian packages need nothing specific as they already
+include or specify ICU as an explicit dependency.
+
+
+## User directory rebuild
+
+Synapse 1.74 queues a background update
+[to rebuild the user directory](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/14643),
+in order to fix missing or erroneous entries.
+
+When this update begins, the user directory will be cleared out and rebuilt from
+scratch. User directory lookups will be incomplete until the rebuild completes.
+Admins can monitor the rebuild's progress by using the
+[Background update Admin API](usage/administration/admin_api/background_updates.md#status).
