+Synapse 1.81.0rc1 (2023-04-04)
+==============================
+
+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.
+
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- Add the ability to enable/disable registrations when in the OIDC flow. ([\#14978](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14978))
+- Add a primitive helper script for listing worker endpoints. ([\#15243](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15243))
+- Experimental support for passing One Time Key and device key requests to application services ([MSC3983](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3983) and [MSC3984](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3984)). ([\#15314](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15314), [\#15321](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15321))
+- Allow loading `/password_policy` endpoint on workers. ([\#15331](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15331))
+- Add experimental support for Unix sockets. Contributed by Jason Little. ([\#15353](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15353))
+- Build Debian packages for Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster). ([\#15381](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15381))
+
+
+Bugfixes

+- Add a check to [SQLite port_db script](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/postgres.html#porting-from-sqlite)
+  to ensure that the sqlite database passed to the script exists before trying to port from it. ([\#15306](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15306))
+- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.76.0 where responses from worker deployments could include an internal `_INT_STREAM_POS` key. ([\#15309](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15309))
+- Fix a long-standing bug that Synpase only used the [legacy appservice routes](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.6/application-service-api/#legacy-routes). ([\#15317](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15317))
+- Fix a long-standing bug preventing users from rejoining rooms after being banned and unbanned over federation. Contributed by Nico. ([\#15323](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15323))
+- Fix bug in worker mode where on a rolling restart of workers the "typing" worker would consume 100% CPU until it got restarted. ([\#15332](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15332))
+- Fix a long-standing bug where some to_device messages could be dropped when using workers. ([\#15349](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15349))
+- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.70.0 where the background sync from a faster join could spin for hours when one of the events involved had been marked for backoff. ([\#15351](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15351))

+
+
+Internal Changes

+# 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`.

+Please keep in mind that server delegation is a function of server-server communication,

+This means setting global client settings (such as a Jitsi endpoint, or disabling

+## 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:

+        # 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,))

+
+## 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.

+## 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

+The `media_ids` folder contains only the metadata of the media uploaded by the user.
+It does not contain the media itself.
+Furthermore, only the `media_ids` that Synapse manages itself are exported.
+If another media repository (e.g. [matrix-media-repo](https://github.com/turt2live/matrix-media-repo))
+is used, the data must be exported separately.
+
+With the `media_ids` the media files can be downloaded.
+Media that have been sent in encrypted rooms are only retrieved in encrypted form.
+The following script can help with download the media files:
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+
+# Parameters
+#
+#   source_directory: Directory which contains the export with the media_ids.
+#   target_directory: Directory into which all files are to be downloaded.
+#   repository_url: Address of the media repository resp. media worker.
+#   serverName: Name of the server (`server_name` from homeserver.yaml).
+#
+#   Example:
+#       ./download_media.sh /tmp/export_data/media_ids/ /tmp/export_data/media_files/ http://localhost:8008 matrix.example.com
