-## 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

+<a name="test-test-test"></a>
+
+While you're developing and before submitting a patch, you'll
+want to test your code.
+
+## 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!
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
 ./scripts-dev/lint.sh
 ```
 
-**Note that the script does not just test/check, but also reformats code, so you
-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
-only certain files, you might wish to specify paths as arguments to reduce the
-run-time:
+If you wish to restrict the linters to only the files changed since the last commit
+(much faster!), you can instead run:
 
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
+./scripts-dev/lint.sh -d
 ```
+
+Or if you know exactly which files you wish to lint, you can instead run:
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
 ./scripts-dev/lint.sh path/to/file1.py path/to/file2.py path/to/folder
 ```
 
-You can also provide the `-d` option, which will lint the files that have been
-changed since the last git commit. This will often be significantly faster than
-linting the whole codebase.
+## Run the unit tests.
 
-Before pushing new changes, ensure they don't produce linting errors. Commit any
-files that were corrected.
+The unit tests run parts of Synapse, including your changes, to see if anything
+was broken. They are slower than the linters but will typically catch more errors.
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
+trial tests
+```
+
+If you wish to only run *some* unit tests, you may specify
+another module instead of `tests` - or a test class or a method:
+
+```sh
+source ./env/bin/activate
+trial tests.rest.admin.test_room tests.handlers.test_admin.ExfiltrateData.test_invite
+```
+
+If your tests fail, you may wish to look at the logs:
+
+```sh
+less _trial_temp/test.log
+```
+
+## Run the integration tests.
+
+The integration tests are a more comprehensive suite of tests. They
+run a full version of Synapse, including your changes, to check if
+anything was broken. They are slower than the unit tests but will
+typically catch more errors.
+
+The following command will let you run the integration test with the most common
+configuration:
+
+```sh
+$ docker run --rm -it -v /path/where/you/have/cloned/the/repository\:/src:ro -v /path/to/where/you/want/logs\:/logs matrixdotorg/sytest-synapse:py37
+```
+
+This configuration should generally cover  your needs. For more details about other configurations, see [documentation in the SyTest repo](https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest/blob/develop/docker/README.md).
+
+
+# 9. Submit your patch.
+
+Once you're happy with your patch, it's time to prepare a Pull Request.
+
+To prepare a Pull Request, please:
+
+1. verify that [all the tests pass](#test-test-test), including the coding style;
+2. [sign off](#sign-off) your contribution;
+3. `git push` your commit to your fork of Synapse;
+4. on GitHub, [create the Pull Request](https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request);
+5. add a [changelog entry](#changelog) and push it to your Pull Request;
+6. for most contributors, that's all - however, if you are a member of the organization `matrix-org`, on GitHub, please request a review from `matrix.org / Synapse Core`.
 
-Please ensure your changes match the cosmetic style of the existing project,
-and **never** mix cosmetic and functional changes in the same commit, as it
-makes it horribly hard to review otherwise.

-Almost all installations should opt to use PostgreSQL. Advantages include:
-
-* significant performance improvements due to the superior threading and

-* allowing the DB to be run on separate hardware
-
-For information on how to install and use PostgreSQL, please see

+Whilst we make a reasonable effort to mitigate against XSS attacks (for
+instance, by using `CSP`_), a Matrix homeserver should not be hosted on a
+domain hosting other web applications. This especially applies to sharing

+information.
+
+.. _CSP: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/1021
+
+Ideally, the homeserver should not simply be on a different subdomain, but on
+a completely different `registered domain`_ (also known as top-level site or
+eTLD+1). This is because `some attacks`_ are still possible as long as the two
+applications share the same registered domain.

+
+To illustrate this with an example, if your Element Web or other sensitive web
+application is hosted on ``A.example1.com``, you should ideally host Synapse on
+``example2.com``. Some amount of protection is offered by hosting on
+``B.example1.com`` instead, so this is also acceptable in some scenarios.
+However, you should *not* host your Synapse on ``A.example1.com``.
+
+Note that all of the above refers exclusively to the domain used in Synapse's
+``public_baseurl`` setting. In particular, it has no bearing on the domain
+mentioned in MXIDs hosted on that server.
+
+Following this advice ensures that even if an XSS is found in Synapse, the
+impact to other applications will be minimal.

+
+Removal of old List Accounts Admin API

+
+The `v2 list accounts API <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/admin_api/user_admin_api.rst#list-accounts>`_

+Requirement for X-Forwarded-Proto header
+----------------------------------------
+
+When using Synapse with a reverse proxy (in particular, when using the

+`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.

+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.
+
+Changes to HTML templates
+-------------------------
+
+The HTML templates for SSO and email notifications now have `Jinja2's autoescape <https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/2.11.x/api/#autoescaping>`_
+enabled for files ending in ``.html``, ``.htm``, and ``.xml``. If you have customised
+these templates and see issues when viewing them you might need to update them.
+It is expected that most configurations will need no changes.
+
+If you have customised the templates *names* for these templates, it is recommended
+to verify they end in ``.html`` to ensure autoescape is enabled.
+
+The above applies to the following templates:
+
+* ``add_threepid.html``
+* ``add_threepid_failure.html``
+* ``add_threepid_success.html``
+* ``notice_expiry.html``
+* ``notice_expiry.html``
+* ``notif_mail.html`` (which, by default, includes ``room.html`` and ``notif.html``)
+* ``password_reset.html``
+* ``password_reset_confirmation.html``
+* ``password_reset_failure.html``
+* ``password_reset_success.html``
+* ``registration.html``
+* ``registration_failure.html``
+* ``registration_success.html``
+* ``sso_account_deactivated.html``
+* ``sso_auth_bad_user.html``
+* ``sso_auth_confirm.html``
+* ``sso_auth_success.html``
+* ``sso_error.html``
+* ``sso_login_idp_picker.html``
+* ``sso_redirect_confirm.html``
+
+Upgrading to v1.26.0
+====================
+
+Rolling back to v1.25.0 after a failed upgrade
+----------------------------------------------
+
+v1.26.0 includes a lot of large changes. If something problematic occurs, you
+may want to roll-back to a previous version of Synapse. Because v1.26.0 also
+includes a new database schema version, reverting that version is also required
+alongside the generic rollback instructions mentioned above. In short, to roll
+back to v1.25.0 you need to:
+
+1. Stop the server
+2. Decrease the schema version in the database:
+
+   .. code:: sql
+
+      UPDATE schema_version SET version = 58;
+
+3. Delete the ignored users & chain cover data:
+
+   .. code:: sql
+
+      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ignored_users;
+      UPDATE rooms SET has_auth_chain_index = false;
+
+   For PostgreSQL run:
+
+   .. code:: sql
+
+      TRUNCATE event_auth_chain_links;
+      TRUNCATE event_auth_chains;
+
+   For SQLite run:
+
+   .. code:: sql
+
+      DELETE FROM event_auth_chain_links;
+      DELETE FROM event_auth_chains;
+
+4. Mark the deltas as not run (so they will re-run on upgrade).
+
+   .. code:: sql
+
+      DELETE FROM applied_schema_deltas WHERE version = 59 AND file = "59/01ignored_user.py";
+      DELETE FROM applied_schema_deltas WHERE version = 59 AND file = "59/06chain_cover_index.sql";
+
+5. Downgrade Synapse by following the instructions for your installation method
+   in the "Rolling back to older versions" section above.
+
 Upgrading to v1.25.0
 ====================
 
+Last release supporting Python 3.5
+----------------------------------
+
+This is the last release of Synapse which guarantees support with Python 3.5,
+which passed its upstream End of Life date several months ago.
+
+We will attempt to maintain support through March 2021, but without guarantees.
+
+In the future, Synapse will follow upstream schedules for ending support of
+older versions of Python and PostgreSQL. Please upgrade to at least Python 3.6
+and PostgreSQL 9.6 as soon as possible.

+# 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.

-Captcha can be enabled for this home server. This file explains how to do that.
-The captcha mechanism used is Google's ReCaptcha. This requires API keys from Google.
+A captcha can be enabled on your homeserver to help prevent bots from registering

-Requires a site/secret key pair from:
