-Synapse 1.41.1 (2021-08-31)
-===========================
-
-Due to the two security issues highlighted below, server administrators are encouraged to update Synapse. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild.
-
-Security advisory
------------------
-
-The following issues are fixed in v1.41.1.
-
-- **[GHSA-3x4c-pq33-4w3q](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-3x4c-pq33-4w3q) / [CVE-2021-39164](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-39164): Enumerating a private room's list of members and their display names.**
-
-  If an unauthorized user both knows the Room ID of a private room *and* that room's history visibility is set to `shared`, then they may be able to enumerate the room's members, including their display names.
-
-  The unauthorized user must be on the same homeserver as a user who is a member of the target room.
-
-  Fixed by [52c7a51cf](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/52c7a51cf).
-
-- **[GHSA-jj53-8fmw-f2w2](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-jj53-8fmw-f2w2) / [CVE-2021-39163](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-39163): Disclosing a private room's name, avatar, topic, and number of members.**
-
-  If an unauthorized user knows the Room ID of a private room, then its name, avatar, topic, and number of members may be disclosed through Group / Community features.
-
-  The unauthorized user must be on the same homeserver as a user who is a member of the target room, and their homeserver must allow non-administrators to create groups (`enable_group_creation` in the Synapse configuration; off by default).
-
-  Fixed by [cb35df940a](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/cb35df940a), [\#10723](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10723).

-Synapse 1.37.1 (2021-06-30)
-===========================
-
-This release resolves issues (such as [#9490](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9490)) where one busy room could cause head-of-line blocking, starving Synapse from processing events in other rooms, and causing all federated traffic to fall behind. Synapse 1.37.1 processes inbound federation traffic asynchronously, ensuring that one busy room won't impact others. Please upgrade to Synapse 1.37.1 as soon as possible, in order to increase resilience to other traffic spikes.

 This release deprecates the current spam checker interface. See the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/upgrade#deprecation-of-the-current-spam-checker-interface) for more information on how to update to the new generic module interface.
 
 This release also removes support for fetching and renewing TLS certificates using the ACME v1 protocol, which has been fully decommissioned by Let's Encrypt on June 1st 2021. Admins previously using this feature should use a [reverse proxy](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/reverse_proxy.html) to handle TLS termination, or use an external ACME client (such as [certbot](https://certbot.eff.org/)) to retrieve a certificate and key and provide them to Synapse using the `tls_certificate_path` and `tls_private_key_path` configuration settings.

+
+# 1. Who can contribute to Synapse?
+
+Everyone is welcome to contribute code to [matrix.org
+projects](https://github.com/matrix-org), provided that they are willing to
+license their contributions under the same license as the project itself. We
+follow a simple 'inbound=outbound' model for contributions: the act of
+submitting an 'inbound' contribution means that the contributor agrees to
+license the code under the same terms as the project's overall 'outbound'
+license - in our case, this is almost always Apache Software License v2 (see
+[LICENSE](LICENSE)).
+
+# 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](
+https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/) to ask us to pull your
+changes into our repo.
+
+Please base your changes on the `develop` branch.
+
+```sh
+git clone git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_USER_NAME/synapse.git
+git checkout develop
+```
+
+If you need help getting started with git, this is beyond the scope of the document, but you
+can find many good git tutorials on the web.
+
+# 4. Install the dependencies
+
+## Under Unix (macOS, Linux, BSD, ...)
+
+Once you have installed Python 3 and added the source, please open a terminal and
+setup a *virtualenv*, as follows:
+
+```sh
+cd path/where/you/have/cloned/the/repository
+python3 -m venv ./env
+source ./env/bin/activate
+pip install -e ".[all,lint,mypy,test]"
+pip install tox
+```
+
+This will install the developer dependencies for the project.
+
+## Under Windows
+
+TBD
+
+
+# 5. Get in touch.
+
+Join our developer community on Matrix: #synapse-dev:matrix.org !
+
+
+# 6. Pick an issue.
+
+Fix your favorite problem or perhaps find a [Good First Issue](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22Good+First+Issue%22)
+to work on.
+
+
+# 7. Turn coffee and documentation into code and documentation!
+
+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).
+
+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.
+
+If you add new files added to either of these folders, please use [GitHub-Flavoured
+Markdown](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/).
+
+Some documentation also exists in [Synapse's GitHub
+Wiki](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/wiki), although this is primarily
+contributed to by community authors.
+
+
+# 8. Test, test, test!
+<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 this script *will modify your files* to fix styling errors.
+Make sure that you have saved all your files.
+
+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
+```
+
+## Run the unit tests.
+
+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 (the default log level is `ERROR`):
+
+```sh
+less _trial_temp/test.log
+```
+
+To increase the log level for the tests, set `SYNAPSE_TEST_LOG_LEVEL`:
+
+```sh
+SYNAPSE_TEST_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG trial tests
+```
+
+
+## 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`.
+
+
+## Changelog
+
+All changes, even minor ones, need a corresponding changelog / newsfragment
+entry. These are managed by [Towncrier](https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier).
+
+To create a changelog entry, make a new file in the `changelog.d` directory named
+in the format of `PRnumber.type`. The type can be one of the following:
+
+* `feature`
+* `bugfix`
+* `docker` (for updates to the Docker image)
+* `doc` (for updates to the documentation)
+* `removal` (also used for deprecations)
+* `misc` (for internal-only changes)
+
+This file will become part of our [changelog](
+https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/CHANGES.md) at the next
+release, so the content of the file should be a short description of your
+change in the same style as the rest of the changelog. The file can contain Markdown
+formatting, and should end with a full stop (.) or an exclamation mark (!) for
+consistency.
+
+Adding credits to the changelog is encouraged, we value your
+contributions and would like to have you shouted out in the release notes!
+
+For example, a fix in PR #1234 would have its changelog entry in
+`changelog.d/1234.bugfix`, and contain content like:
+
+> The security levels of Florbs are now validated when received
+> via the `/federation/florb` endpoint. Contributed by Jane Matrix.
+
+If there are multiple pull requests involved in a single bugfix/feature/etc,
+then the content for each `changelog.d` file should be the same. Towncrier will
+merge the matching files together into a single changelog entry when we come to
+release.
+
+### How do I know what to call the changelog file before I create the PR?
+
+Obviously, you don't know if you should call your newsfile
+`1234.bugfix` or `5678.bugfix` until you create the PR, which leads to a
+chicken-and-egg problem.
+
+There are two options for solving this:
+
+ 1. Open the PR without a changelog file, see what number you got, and *then*
+    add the changelog file to your branch (see [Updating your pull
+    request](#updating-your-pull-request)), or:
+
+ 1. Look at the [list of all
+    issues/PRs](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=), add one to the
+    highest number you see, and quickly open the PR before somebody else claims
+    your number.
+
+    [This
+    script](https://github.com/richvdh/scripts/blob/master/next_github_number.sh)
+    might be helpful if you find yourself doing this a lot.

+Sorry, we know it's a bit fiddly, but it's *really* helpful for us when we come
+to put together a release!
+
+### Debian changelog
+
+Changes which affect the debian packaging files (in `debian`) are an
+exception to the rule that all changes require a `changelog.d` file.
+
+In this case, you will need to add an entry to the debian changelog for the
+next release. For this, run the following command:
+
+```
+dch
+```
+
+This will make up a new version number (if there isn't already an unreleased
+version in flight), and open an editor where you can add a new changelog entry.
+(Our release process will ensure that the version number and maintainer name is
+corrected for the release.)
+
+If your change affects both the debian packaging *and* files outside the debian
+directory, you will need both a regular newsfragment *and* an entry in the
+debian changelog. (Though typically such changes should be submitted as two
+separate pull requests.)
+
+## Sign off
+
+In order to have a concrete record that your contribution is intentional
+and you agree to license it under the same terms as the project's license, we've adopted the
+same lightweight approach that the Linux Kernel
+[submitting patches process](
+https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#sign-your-work-the-developer-s-certificate-of-origin>),
+[Docker](https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md), and many other
+projects use: the DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin:
+http://developercertificate.org/). This is a simple declaration that you wrote
+the contribution or otherwise have the right to contribute it to Matrix:
+
+```
+Developer Certificate of Origin
+Version 1.1
+
+Copyright (C) 2004, 2006 The Linux Foundation and its contributors.
+660 York Street, Suite 102,
+San Francisco, CA 94110 USA
+
+Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
+license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
+
+By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
+
+(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
+    have the right to submit it under the open source license
+    indicated in the file; or
+
+(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
+    of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
+    license and I have the right under that license to submit that
+    work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
+    by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
+    permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
+    in the file; or
+
+(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
+    person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
+    it.
+
+(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
+    are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
+    personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
+    maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
+    this project or the open source license(s) involved.
+```
+
+If you agree to this for your contribution, then all that's needed is to
+include the line in your commit or pull request comment:
+
+```
+Signed-off-by: Your Name <your@email.example.org>
+```
+
+We accept contributions under a legally identifiable name, such as
+your name on government documentation or common-law names (names
+claimed by legitimate usage or repute). Unfortunately, we cannot
+accept anonymous contributions at this time.
+
+Git allows you to add this signoff automatically when using the `-s`
+flag to `git commit`, which uses the name and email set in your
+`user.name` and `user.email` git configs.
+
+
+# 10. Turn feedback into better code.
+
+Once the Pull Request is opened, you will see a few things:
+
+1. our automated CI (Continuous Integration) pipeline will run (again) the linters, the unit tests, the integration tests and more;
+2. one or more of the developers will take a look at your Pull Request and offer feedback.
+
+From this point, you should:
+
+1. Look at the results of the CI pipeline.
+   - If there is any error, fix the error.
+2. If a developer has requested changes, make these changes and let us know if it is ready for a developer to review again.
+3. Create a new commit with the changes.
+   - Please do NOT overwrite the history. New commits make the reviewer's life easier.
+   - Push this commits to your Pull Request.
+4. Back to 1.
+
+Once both the CI and the developers are happy, the patch will be merged into Synapse and released shortly!
+
+# 11. Find a new issue.
+
+By now, you know the drill!
+
+# Notes for maintainers on merging PRs etc
+
+There are some notes for those with commit access to the project on how we
+manage git [here](docs/dev/git.md).
+
+# Conclusion
+
+That's it! Matrix is a very open and collaborative project as you might expect
+given our obsession with open communication. If we're going to successfully
+matrix together all the fragmented communication technologies out there we are
+reliant on contributions and collaboration from the community to do so. So
+please get involved - and we hope you have as much fun hacking on Matrix as we
+do!

+
+## Choosing your server name
+
+It is important to choose the name for your server before you install Synapse,
+because it cannot be changed later.
+
+The server name determines the "domain" part of user-ids for users on your
+server: these will all be of the format `@user:my.domain.name`. It also
+determines how other matrix servers will reach yours for federation.
+
+For a test configuration, set this to the hostname of your server. For a more
+production-ready setup, you will probably want to specify your domain
+(`example.com`) rather than a matrix-specific hostname here (in the same way
+that your email address is probably `user@example.com` rather than
+`user@email.example.com`) - but doing so may require more advanced setup: see
+[Setting up Federation](docs/federate.md).
+
+## Installing Synapse
+
+### Installing from source
+
+(Prebuilt packages are available for some platforms - see [Prebuilt packages](#prebuilt-packages).)
+
+When installing from source please make sure that the [Platform-specific prerequisites](#platform-specific-prerequisites) are already installed.
+
+System requirements:
+
+- POSIX-compliant system (tested on Linux & OS X)
+- Python 3.5.2 or later, up to Python 3.9.
+- At least 1GB of free RAM if you want to join large public rooms like #matrix:matrix.org
+
+
+To install the Synapse homeserver run:
+
+```sh
+mkdir -p ~/synapse
+virtualenv -p python3 ~/synapse/env
+source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate
+pip install --upgrade pip
+pip install --upgrade setuptools
+pip install matrix-synapse
+```
+
+This will download Synapse from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/matrix-synapse)
+and install it, along with the python libraries it uses, into a virtual environment
+under `~/synapse/env`.  Feel free to pick a different directory if you
+prefer.
+
+This Synapse installation can then be later upgraded by using pip again with the
+update flag:
+
+```sh
+source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate
+pip install -U matrix-synapse
+```
+
+Before you can start Synapse, you will need to generate a configuration
+file. To do this, run (in your virtualenv, as before):
+
+```sh
+cd ~/synapse
+python -m synapse.app.homeserver \
+    --server-name my.domain.name \
+    --config-path homeserver.yaml \
+    --generate-config \
+    --report-stats=[yes|no]
+```
+
+... substituting an appropriate value for `--server-name`.
+
+This command will generate you a config file that you can then customise, but it will
+also generate a set of keys for you. These keys will allow your homeserver to
+identify itself to other homeserver, so don't lose or delete them. It would be
+wise to back them up somewhere safe. (If, for whatever reason, you do need to
+change your homeserver's keys, you may find that other homeserver have the
+old key cached. If you update the signing key, you should change the name of the
+key in the `<server name>.signing.key` file (the second word) to something
+different. See the [spec](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/server_server/latest.html#retrieving-server-keys) for more information on key management).
+
+To actually run your new homeserver, pick a working directory for Synapse to
+run (e.g. `~/synapse`), and:
+
+```sh
+cd ~/synapse
+source env/bin/activate
+synctl start
+```
+
+#### Platform-specific prerequisites
+
+Synapse is written in Python but some of the libraries it uses are written in
+C. So before we can install Synapse itself we need a working C compiler and the
+header files for Python C extensions.
+
+##### Debian/Ubuntu/Raspbian
+
+Installing prerequisites on Ubuntu or Debian:
+
+```sh
+sudo apt install build-essential python3-dev libffi-dev \
+                     python3-pip python3-setuptools sqlite3 \
+                     libssl-dev virtualenv libjpeg-dev libxslt1-dev
+```
+
+##### ArchLinux
+
+Installing prerequisites on ArchLinux:
+
+```sh
+sudo pacman -S base-devel python python-pip \
+               python-setuptools python-virtualenv sqlite3
+```
+
+##### CentOS/Fedora
+
+Installing prerequisites on CentOS or Fedora Linux:
+
+```sh
+sudo dnf install libtiff-devel libjpeg-devel libzip-devel freetype-devel \
+                 libwebp-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel libpq-devel \
+                 python3-virtualenv libffi-devel openssl-devel python3-devel
+sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools"
+```
+
+##### macOS
+
+Installing prerequisites on macOS:
+
+```sh
+xcode-select --install
+sudo easy_install pip
+sudo pip install virtualenv
+brew install pkg-config libffi
+```
+
+On macOS Catalina (10.15) you may need to explicitly install OpenSSL
+via brew and inform `pip` about it so that `psycopg2` builds:
+
+```sh
+brew install openssl@1.1
+export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
+export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"
+```
+
+##### OpenSUSE
+
+Installing prerequisites on openSUSE:
+
+```sh
+sudo zypper in -t pattern devel_basis
+sudo zypper in python-pip python-setuptools sqlite3 python-virtualenv \
+               python-devel libffi-devel libopenssl-devel libjpeg62-devel
+```
+
+##### OpenBSD
+
+A port of Synapse is available under `net/synapse`. The filesystem
+underlying the homeserver directory (defaults to `/var/synapse`) has to be
+mounted with `wxallowed` (cf. `mount(8)`), so creating a separate filesystem
+and mounting it to `/var/synapse` should be taken into consideration.
+
+To be able to build Synapse's dependency on python the `WRKOBJDIR`
+(cf. `bsd.port.mk(5)`) for building python, too, needs to be on a filesystem
+mounted with `wxallowed` (cf. `mount(8)`).
+
+Creating a `WRKOBJDIR` for building python under `/usr/local` (which on a
+default OpenBSD installation is mounted with `wxallowed`):
+
+```sh
+doas mkdir /usr/local/pobj_wxallowed
+```
+
+Assuming `PORTS_PRIVSEP=Yes` (cf. `bsd.port.mk(5)`) and `SUDO=doas` are
+configured in `/etc/mk.conf`:
+
+```sh
+doas chown _pbuild:_pbuild /usr/local/pobj_wxallowed
+```
+
+Setting the `WRKOBJDIR` for building python:
+
+```sh
+echo WRKOBJDIR_lang/python/3.7=/usr/local/pobj_wxallowed  \\nWRKOBJDIR_lang/python/2.7=/usr/local/pobj_wxallowed >> /etc/mk.conf
+```
+
+Building Synapse:
+
+```sh
+cd /usr/ports/net/synapse
+make install
+```
+
+##### Windows
+
+If you wish to run or develop Synapse on Windows, the Windows Subsystem For
+Linux provides a Linux environment on Windows 10 which is capable of using the
+Debian, Fedora, or source installation methods. More information about WSL can
+be found at <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10> for
+Windows 10 and <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-on-server>
+for Windows Server.
+
+### Prebuilt packages
+
+As an alternative to installing from source, prebuilt packages are available
+for a number of platforms.
+
+#### Docker images and Ansible playbooks
+
+There is an official synapse image available at
+<https://hub.docker.com/r/matrixdotorg/synapse> which can be used with
+the docker-compose file available at [contrib/docker](contrib/docker). Further
+information on this including configuration options is available in the README
+on hub.docker.com.
+
+Alternatively, Andreas Peters (previously Silvio Fricke) has contributed a
+Dockerfile to automate a synapse server in a single Docker image, at
+<https://hub.docker.com/r/avhost/docker-matrix/tags/>
+
+Slavi Pantaleev has created an Ansible playbook,
+which installs the offical Docker image of Matrix Synapse
+along with many other Matrix-related services (Postgres database, Element, coturn,
+ma1sd, SSL support, etc.).
+For more details, see
+<https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy>
+
+#### Debian/Ubuntu
+
+##### Matrix.org packages
+
+Matrix.org provides Debian/Ubuntu packages of the latest stable version of
+Synapse via <https://packages.matrix.org/debian/>. They are available for Debian
+9 (Stretch), Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial), and later. To use them:
+
+```sh
+sudo apt install -y lsb-release wget apt-transport-https
+sudo wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg https://packages.matrix.org/debian/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg
+echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.matrix.org/debian/ $(lsb_release -cs) main" |
+    sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/matrix-org.list
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install matrix-synapse-py3
+```
+
+**Note**: if you followed a previous version of these instructions which
+recommended using `apt-key add` to add an old key from
+`https://matrix.org/packages/debian/`, you should note that this key has been
+revoked. You should remove the old key with `sudo apt-key remove
+C35EB17E1EAE708E6603A9B3AD0592FE47F0DF61`, and follow the above instructions to
+update your configuration.
+
+The fingerprint of the repository signing key (as shown by `gpg
+/usr/share/keyrings/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg`) is
+`AAF9AE843A7584B5A3E4CD2BCF45A512DE2DA058`.
+
+##### Downstream Debian packages
+
+We do not recommend using the packages from the default Debian `buster`
+repository at this time, as they are old and suffer from known security
+vulnerabilities. You can install the latest version of Synapse from
+[our repository](#matrixorg-packages) or from `buster-backports`. Please
+see the [Debian documentation](https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/)
+for information on how to use backports.
+
+If you are using Debian `sid` or testing, Synapse is available in the default
+repositories and it should be possible to install it simply with:
+
+```sh
+sudo apt install matrix-synapse
+```
+
+##### Downstream Ubuntu packages
+
+We do not recommend using the packages in the default Ubuntu repository
+at this time, as they are old and suffer from known security vulnerabilities.
+The latest version of Synapse can be installed from [our repository](#matrixorg-packages).
+
+#### Fedora
+
+Synapse is in the Fedora repositories as `matrix-synapse`:
+
+```sh
+sudo dnf install matrix-synapse
+```
+
+Oleg Girko provides Fedora RPMs at
+<https://obs.infoserver.lv/project/monitor/matrix-synapse>
+
+#### OpenSUSE
+
+Synapse is in the OpenSUSE repositories as `matrix-synapse`:
+
+```sh
+sudo zypper install matrix-synapse
+```
+
+#### SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
+
+Unofficial package are built for SLES 15 in the openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15 repository at
+<https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Backports:/SLE-15/standard/>
+
+#### ArchLinux
+
+The quickest way to get up and running with ArchLinux is probably with the community package
+<https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/matrix-synapse/>, which should pull in most of
+the necessary dependencies.
+
+pip may be outdated (6.0.7-1 and needs to be upgraded to 6.0.8-1 ):
+
+```sh
+sudo pip install --upgrade pip
+```
+
+If you encounter an error with lib bcrypt causing an Wrong ELF Class:
+ELFCLASS32 (x64 Systems), you may need to reinstall py-bcrypt to correctly
+compile it under the right architecture. (This should not be needed if
+installing under virtualenv):
+
+```sh
+sudo pip uninstall py-bcrypt
+sudo pip install py-bcrypt
+```
+
+#### Void Linux
+
+Synapse can be found in the void repositories as 'synapse':
+
+```sh
+xbps-install -Su
+xbps-install -S synapse
+```
+
+#### FreeBSD
+
+Synapse can be installed via FreeBSD Ports or Packages contributed by Brendan Molloy from:
+
+- Ports: `cd /usr/ports/net-im/py-matrix-synapse && make install clean`
+- Packages: `pkg install py37-matrix-synapse`
+
+#### OpenBSD
+
+As of OpenBSD 6.7 Synapse is available as a pre-compiled binary. The filesystem
+underlying the homeserver directory (defaults to `/var/synapse`) has to be
+mounted with `wxallowed` (cf. `mount(8)`), so creating a separate filesystem
+and mounting it to `/var/synapse` should be taken into consideration.
+
+Installing Synapse:
+
+```sh
+doas pkg_add synapse
+```
+
+#### NixOS
+
+Robin Lambertz has packaged Synapse for NixOS at:
+<https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/misc/matrix-synapse.nix>
+
+## Setting up Synapse
+
+Once you have installed synapse as above, you will need to configure it.
+
+### Using PostgreSQL
+
+By default Synapse uses an [SQLite](https://sqlite.org/) database and in doing so trades
+performance for convenience. Almost all installations should opt to use [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org)
+instead. Advantages include:
+
+- significant performance improvements due to the superior threading and
+  caching model, smarter query optimiser
+- allowing the DB to be run on separate hardware
+
+For information on how to install and use PostgreSQL in Synapse, please see
+[docs/postgres.md](docs/postgres.md)
+
+SQLite is only acceptable for testing purposes. SQLite should not be used in
+a production server. Synapse will perform poorly when using
+SQLite, especially when participating in large rooms.
+
+### TLS certificates
+
+The default configuration exposes a single HTTP port on the local
+interface: `http://localhost:8008`. It is suitable for local testing,
+but for any practical use, you will need Synapse's APIs to be served
+over HTTPS.
+
+The recommended way to do so is to set up a reverse proxy on port
+`8448`. You can find documentation on doing so in
+[docs/reverse_proxy.md](docs/reverse_proxy.md).
+
+Alternatively, you can configure Synapse to expose an HTTPS port. To do
+so, you will need to edit `homeserver.yaml`, as follows:
+
+- First, under the `listeners` section, uncomment the configuration for the
+  TLS-enabled listener. (Remove the hash sign (`#`) at the start of
+  each line). The relevant lines are like this:
+
+```yaml
+  - port: 8448
+    type: http
+    tls: true
+    resources:
+      - names: [client, federation]
+  ```
+
+- You will also need to uncomment the `tls_certificate_path` and
+  `tls_private_key_path` lines under the `TLS` section. You will need to manage
+  provisioning of these certificates yourself.
+
+  If you are using your own certificate, be sure to use a `.pem` file that
+  includes the full certificate chain including any intermediate certificates
+  (for instance, if using certbot, use `fullchain.pem` as your certificate, not
+  `cert.pem`).
+
+For a more detailed guide to configuring your server for federation, see
+[federate.md](docs/federate.md).
+
+### Client Well-Known URI
+
+Setting up the client Well-Known URI is optional but if you set it up, it will
+allow users to enter their full username (e.g. `@user:<server_name>`) into clients
+which support well-known lookup to automatically configure the homeserver and
+identity server URLs. This is useful so that users don't have to memorize or think
+about the actual homeserver URL you are using.
+
+The URL `https://<server_name>/.well-known/matrix/client` should return JSON in
+the following format.
+
+```json
+{
+  "m.homeserver": {
+    "base_url": "https://<matrix.example.com>"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+It can optionally contain identity server information as well.
+
+```json
+{
+  "m.homeserver": {
+    "base_url": "https://<matrix.example.com>"
+  },
+  "m.identity_server": {
+    "base_url": "https://<identity.example.com>"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+To work in browser based clients, the file must be served with the appropriate
+Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) headers. A recommended value would be
+`Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` which would allow all browser based clients to
+view it.
+
+In nginx this would be something like:
+
+```nginx
+location /.well-known/matrix/client {
+    return 200 '{"m.homeserver": {"base_url": "https://<matrix.example.com>"}}';
+    default_type application/json;
+    add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
+}
+```
+
+You should also ensure the `public_baseurl` option in `homeserver.yaml` is set
+correctly. `public_baseurl` should be set to the URL that clients will use to
+connect to your server. This is the same URL you put for the `m.homeserver`
+`base_url` above.
+
+```yaml
+public_baseurl: "https://<matrix.example.com>"
+```
+
+### Email
+
+It is desirable for Synapse to have the capability to send email. This allows
+Synapse to send password reset emails, send verifications when an email address
+is added to a user's account, and send email notifications to users when they
+receive new messages.
+
+To configure an SMTP server for Synapse, modify the configuration section
+headed `email`, and be sure to have at least the `smtp_host`, `smtp_port`
+and `notif_from` fields filled out.  You may also need to set `smtp_user`,
+`smtp_pass`, and `require_transport_security`.
+
+If email is not configured, password reset, registration and notifications via
+email will be disabled.
+
+### Registering a user
+
+The easiest way to create a new user is to do so from a client like [Element](https://element.io/).
+
+Alternatively, you can do so from the command line. This can be done as follows:
+
+ 1. If synapse was installed via pip, activate the virtualenv as follows (if Synapse was
+    installed via a prebuilt package, `register_new_matrix_user` should already be
+    on the search path):
+    ```sh
+    cd ~/synapse
+    source env/bin/activate
+    synctl start # if not already running
+    ```
+ 2. Run the following command:
+    ```sh
+    register_new_matrix_user -c homeserver.yaml http://localhost:8008
+    ```
+
+This will prompt you to add details for the new user, and will then connect to
+the running Synapse to create the new user. For example:
+```
+New user localpart: erikj
+Password:
+Confirm password:
+Make admin [no]:
+Success!
+```
+
+This process uses a setting `registration_shared_secret` in
+`homeserver.yaml`, which is shared between Synapse itself and the
+`register_new_matrix_user` script. It doesn't matter what it is (a random
+value is generated by `--generate-config`), but it should be kept secret, as
+anyone with knowledge of it can register users, including admin accounts,
+on your server even if `enable_registration` is `false`.
+
+### Setting up a TURN server
+
+For reliable VoIP calls to be routed via this homeserver, you MUST configure
+a TURN server. See [docs/turn-howto.md](docs/turn-howto.md) for details.
+
+### URL previews
+
+Synapse includes support for previewing URLs, which is disabled by default.  To
+turn it on you must enable the `url_preview_enabled: True` config parameter
+and explicitly specify the IP ranges that Synapse is not allowed to spider for
+previewing in the `url_preview_ip_range_blacklist` configuration parameter.
+This is critical from a security perspective to stop arbitrary Matrix users
+spidering 'internal' URLs on your network. At the very least we recommend that
+your loopback and RFC1918 IP addresses are blacklisted.
+
+This also requires the optional `lxml` python dependency to be  installed. This
+in turn requires the `libxml2` library to be available - on  Debian/Ubuntu this
+means `apt-get install libxml2-dev`, or equivalent for your OS.
+
+### Troubleshooting Installation
+
+`pip` seems to leak *lots* of memory during installation. For instance, a Linux
+host with 512MB of RAM may run out of memory whilst installing Twisted. If this
+happens, you will have to individually install the dependencies which are
+failing, e.g.:
+
+```sh
+pip install twisted
+```
+
+If you have any other problems, feel free to ask in
+[#synapse:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#synapse:matrix.org).

-`synapse_review_recent_signups` `-c`|`--config` <file> [`-s`|`--since` <period>] [`-e`|`--exclude-emails`] [`-u`|`--only-users`]
-
-## DESCRIPTION
-
-**synapse_review_recent_signups** prints out recently registered users on a
-Synapse server, as well as some basic information about the user.
-
-`synapse_review_recent_signups` must be supplied with the config of the Synapse
-server, so that it can fetch the database config and connect to the database.
-
-
-## OPTIONS
-
-  * `-c`, `--config`:
-    The config file(s) used by the Synapse server.
-
-  * `-s`, `--since`:
-    How far back to search for newly registered users. Defaults to 7d, i.e. up
-    to seven days in the past. Valid units are 's', 'm', 'h', 'd', 'w', or 'y'.
-
-  * `-e`, `--exclude-emails`:
-    Do not print out users that have validated emails associated with their
-    account.
-
-  * `-u`, `--only-users`:
-    Only print out the user IDs of recently registered users, without any
-    additional information

-.IP
-However, degraded performance due to a low cache factor, common on machines with slow disks, often leads to explosions in memory use due backlogged requests\. In this case, reducing the cache factor will make things worse\. Instead, try increasing it drastically\. 2\.0 is a good starting value\.
+Synapse\'s architecture is quite RAM hungry currently \- a lot of recent room data and metadata is deliberately cached in RAM in order to speed up common requests\. This will be improved in future, but for now the easiest way to either reduce the RAM usage (at the risk of slowing things down) is to set the SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR environment variable\. Roughly speaking, a SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR of 1\.0 will max out at around 3\-4GB of resident memory \- this is what we currently run the matrix\.org on\. The default setting is currently 0\.1, which is probably around a ~700MB footprint\. You can dial it down further to 0\.02 if desired, which targets roughly ~512MB\. Conversely you can dial it up if you need performance for lots of users and have a box with a lot of RAM\.

+# Deprecated: Shutdown room API
+
+**The old Shutdown room API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
+See the new [Delete Room API](rooms.md#delete-room-api) for more details.**
+
+Shuts down a room, preventing new joins and moves local users and room aliases automatically
+to a new room. The new room will be created with the user specified by the
+`new_room_user_id` parameter as room administrator and will contain a message
+explaining what happened. Users invited to the new room will have power level
+-10 by default, and thus be unable to speak. The old room's power levels will be changed to
+disallow any further invites or joins.
+
+The local server will only have the power to move local user and room aliases to
+the new room. Users on other servers will be unaffected.
+
+## API
+
+You will need to authenticate with an access token for an admin user.
+
+### URL
+
+`POST /_synapse/admin/v1/shutdown_room/{room_id}`
+
+### URL Parameters
+
+* `room_id` - The ID of the room (e.g `!someroom:example.com`)
+
+### JSON Body Parameters
+
+* `new_room_user_id` - Required. A string representing the user ID of the user that will admin
+                       the new room that all users in the old room will be moved to.
+* `room_name` - Optional. A string representing the name of the room that new users will be
+                invited to.
+* `message` - Optional. A string containing the first message that will be sent as
+              `new_room_user_id` in the new room. Ideally this will clearly convey why the
+               original room was shut down.
+
+If not specified, the default value of `room_name` is "Content Violation
+Notification". The default value of `message` is "Sharing illegal content on
+othis server is not permitted and rooms in violation will be blocked."
+
+### Response Parameters
+
+* `kicked_users` - An integer number representing the number of users that
+                   were kicked.
+* `failed_to_kick_users` - An integer number representing the number of users
+                           that were not kicked.
+* `local_aliases` - An array of strings representing the local aliases that were migrated from
+                    the old room to the new.
+* `new_room_id` - A string representing the room ID of the new room.

 # Contributing
 
-This document aims to get you started with contributing to Synapse!
-
-# 1. Who can contribute to Synapse?
-
-Everyone is welcome to contribute code to [matrix.org
-projects](https://github.com/matrix-org), provided that they are willing to
-license their contributions under the same license as the project itself. We
-follow a simple 'inbound=outbound' model for contributions: the act of
-submitting an 'inbound' contribution means that the contributor agrees to
-license the code under the same terms as the project's overall 'outbound'
-license - in our case, this is almost always Apache Software License v2 (see
-[LICENSE](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/LICENSE)).
-
-# 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](
-https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/) to ask us to pull your
-changes into our repo.
-
-Please base your changes on the `develop` branch.
-
-```sh
-git clone git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_USER_NAME/synapse.git
-git checkout develop
-```
-
-If you need help getting started with git, this is beyond the scope of the document, but you
-can find many good git tutorials on the web.
-
-# 4. Install the dependencies
-
-## Under Unix (macOS, Linux, BSD, ...)
-
-Once you have installed Python 3 and added the source, please open a terminal and
-setup a *virtualenv*, as follows:
-
-```sh
-cd path/where/you/have/cloned/the/repository
-python3 -m venv ./env
-source ./env/bin/activate
-pip install -e ".[all,lint,mypy,test]"
-pip install tox
-```
-
-This will install the developer dependencies for the project.
-
-## Under Windows
-
-TBD
-
-
-# 5. Get in touch.
-
-Join our developer community on Matrix: #synapse-dev:matrix.org !
-
-
-# 6. Pick an issue.
-
-Fix your favorite problem or perhaps find a [Good First Issue](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22Good+First+Issue%22)
-to work on.
-
-
-# 7. Turn coffee into code and documentation!
-
-There is a growing amount of documentation located in the
-[`docs`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docs)
-directory, with a rendered version [available online](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse).
-This documentation is intended primarily for sysadmins running their
-own Synapse instance, as well as developers interacting externally with
-Synapse.
-[`docs/development`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docs/development)
-exists primarily to house documentation for
-Synapse developers.
-[`docs/admin_api`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docs/admin_api) houses documentation
-regarding Synapse's Admin API, which is used mostly by sysadmins and external
-service developers.
-
-Synapse's code style is documented [here](../code_style.md). Please follow
-it, including the conventions for the [sample configuration
-file](../code_style.md#configuration-file-format).
-
-We welcome improvements and additions to our documentation itself! When
-writing new pages, please
-[build `docs` to a book](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/develop/docs#adding-to-the-documentation)
-to check that your contributions render correctly. The docs are written in
-[GitHub-Flavoured Markdown](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/).
-
-Some documentation also exists in [Synapse's GitHub
-Wiki](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/wiki), although this is primarily
-contributed to by community authors.
-
-
-# 8. Test, test, test!
-<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 this script *will modify your files* to fix styling errors.
-Make sure that you have saved all your files.
-
-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
-```
-
-## Run the unit tests (Twisted trial).
-
-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 (the default log level is `ERROR`):
-
-```sh
-less _trial_temp/test.log
-```
-
-To increase the log level for the tests, set `SYNAPSE_TEST_LOG_LEVEL`:
-
-```sh
-SYNAPSE_TEST_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG trial tests
-```
-
-### Running tests under PostgreSQL
-
-Invoking `trial` as above will use an in-memory SQLite database. This is great for
-quick development and testing. However, we recommend using a PostgreSQL database
-in production (and indeed, we have some code paths specific to each database).
-This means that we need to run our unit tests against PostgreSQL too. Our CI does
-this automatically for pull requests and release candidates, but it's sometimes
-useful to reproduce this locally.
-
-To do so, [configure Postgres](../postgres.md) and run `trial` with the
-following environment variables matching your configuration:
-
-- `SYNAPSE_POSTGRES` to anything nonempty
-- `SYNAPSE_POSTGRES_HOST`
-- `SYNAPSE_POSTGRES_USER`
-- `SYNAPSE_POSTGRES_PASSWORD`
-
-For example:
-
-```shell
-export SYNAPSE_POSTGRES=1
-export SYNAPSE_POSTGRES_HOST=localhost
-export SYNAPSE_POSTGRES_USER=postgres
-export SYNAPSE_POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mydevenvpassword
-trial
-```
-
-#### Prebuilt container
-
-Since configuring PostgreSQL can be fiddly, we can make use of a pre-made
-Docker container to set up PostgreSQL and run our tests for us. To do so, run
-
-```shell
-scripts-dev/test_postgresql.sh
-```
-
-Any extra arguments to the script will be passed to `tox` and then to `trial`,
-so we can run a specific test in this container with e.g.
-
-```shell
-scripts-dev/test_postgresql.sh tests.replication.test_sharded_event_persister.EventPersisterShardTestCase
-```
-
-The container creates a folder in your Synapse checkout called
-`.tox-pg-container` and uses this as a tox environment. The output of any
-`trial` runs goes into `_trial_temp` in your synapse source directory — the same
-as running `trial` directly on your host machine.
-
-## Run the integration tests ([Sytest](https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest)).
-
-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:buster
-```
-
-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).
-
-
-## Run the integration tests ([Complement](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement)).
-
-[Complement](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement) is a suite of black box tests that can be run on any homeserver implementation. It can also be thought of as end-to-end (e2e) tests.
-
-It's often nice to develop on Synapse and write Complement tests at the same time.
-Here is how to run your local Synapse checkout against your local Complement checkout.
-
-(checkout [`complement`](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement) alongside your `synapse` checkout)
-```sh
-COMPLEMENT_DIR=../complement ./scripts-dev/complement.sh
-```
-
-To run a specific test file, you can pass the test name at the end of the command. The name passed comes from the naming structure in your Complement tests. If you're unsure of the name, you can do a full run and copy it from the test output:
-
-```sh
-COMPLEMENT_DIR=../complement ./scripts-dev/complement.sh TestBackfillingHistory
-```
-
-To run a specific test, you can specify the whole name structure:
-
-```sh
-COMPLEMENT_DIR=../complement ./scripts-dev/complement.sh TestBackfillingHistory/parallel/Backfilled_historical_events_resolve_with_proper_state_in_correct_order
-```
-
-
-### Access database for homeserver after Complement test runs.
-
-If you're curious what the database looks like after you run some tests, here are some steps to get you going in Synapse:
-
-1. In your Complement test comment out `defer deployment.Destroy(t)` and replace with `defer time.Sleep(2 * time.Hour)` to keep the homeserver running after the tests complete
-1. Start the Complement tests
-1. Find the name of the container, `docker ps -f name=complement_` (this will filter for just the Compelement related Docker containers)
-1. Access the container replacing the name with what you found in the previous step: `docker exec -it complement_1_hs_with_application_service.hs1_2 /bin/bash`
-1. Install sqlite (database driver), `apt-get update && apt-get install -y sqlite3`
-1. Then run `sqlite3` and open the database `.open /conf/homeserver.db` (this db path comes from the Synapse homeserver.yaml)
-
-
-# 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`.
-7. if you need to update your PR, please avoid rebasing and just add new commits to your branch.
-
-
-## Changelog
-
-All changes, even minor ones, need a corresponding changelog / newsfragment
-entry. These are managed by [Towncrier](https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier).
-
-To create a changelog entry, make a new file in the `changelog.d` directory named
-in the format of `PRnumber.type`. The type can be one of the following:
-
-* `feature`
-* `bugfix`
-* `docker` (for updates to the Docker image)
-* `doc` (for updates to the documentation)
-* `removal` (also used for deprecations)
-* `misc` (for internal-only changes)
-
-This file will become part of our [changelog](
-https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/CHANGES.md) at the next
-release, so the content of the file should be a short description of your
-change in the same style as the rest of the changelog. The file can contain Markdown
-formatting, and should end with a full stop (.) or an exclamation mark (!) for
-consistency.
-
-Adding credits to the changelog is encouraged, we value your
-contributions and would like to have you shouted out in the release notes!
-
-For example, a fix in PR #1234 would have its changelog entry in
-`changelog.d/1234.bugfix`, and contain content like:
-
-> The security levels of Florbs are now validated when received
-> via the `/federation/florb` endpoint. Contributed by Jane Matrix.
-
-If there are multiple pull requests involved in a single bugfix/feature/etc,
-then the content for each `changelog.d` file should be the same. Towncrier will
-merge the matching files together into a single changelog entry when we come to
-release.
-
-### How do I know what to call the changelog file before I create the PR?
-
-Obviously, you don't know if you should call your newsfile
-`1234.bugfix` or `5678.bugfix` until you create the PR, which leads to a
-chicken-and-egg problem.
-
-There are two options for solving this:
-
-1. Open the PR without a changelog file, see what number you got, and *then*
-   add the changelog file to your branch (see [Updating your pull
-   request](#updating-your-pull-request)), or:
-
-1. Look at the [list of all
-   issues/PRs](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=), add one to the
-   highest number you see, and quickly open the PR before somebody else claims
-   your number.
-
-   [This
-   script](https://github.com/richvdh/scripts/blob/master/next_github_number.sh)
-   might be helpful if you find yourself doing this a lot.
-
-Sorry, we know it's a bit fiddly, but it's *really* helpful for us when we come
-to put together a release!
-
-### Debian changelog
-
-Changes which affect the debian packaging files (in `debian`) are an
-exception to the rule that all changes require a `changelog.d` file.
-
-In this case, you will need to add an entry to the debian changelog for the
-next release. For this, run the following command:
-
-```
-dch
-```
-
-This will make up a new version number (if there isn't already an unreleased
-version in flight), and open an editor where you can add a new changelog entry.
-(Our release process will ensure that the version number and maintainer name is
-corrected for the release.)
-
-If your change affects both the debian packaging *and* files outside the debian
-directory, you will need both a regular newsfragment *and* an entry in the
-debian changelog. (Though typically such changes should be submitted as two
-separate pull requests.)

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

-# Room DAG concepts
-
-## Edges
-
-The word "edge" comes from graph theory lingo. An edge is just a connection
-between two events. In Synapse, we connect events by specifying their
-`prev_events`. A subsequent event points back at a previous event.
-
-```
-A (oldest) <---- B <---- C (most recent)
-```
-
-
-## Depth and stream ordering
-
-Events are normally sorted by `(topological_ordering, stream_ordering)` where
-`topological_ordering` is just `depth`. In other words, we first sort by `depth`
-and then tie-break based on `stream_ordering`. `depth` is incremented as new
-messages are added to the DAG. Normally, `stream_ordering` is an auto
-incrementing integer, but backfilled events start with `stream_ordering=-1` and decrement.
-
----
-
- - `/sync` returns things in the order they arrive at the server (`stream_ordering`).
- - `/messages` (and `/backfill` in the federation API) return them in the order determined by the event graph `(topological_ordering, stream_ordering)`.
-
-The general idea is that, if you're following a room in real-time (i.e.
-`/sync`), you probably want to see the messages as they arrive at your server,
-rather than skipping any that arrived late; whereas if you're looking at a
-historical section of timeline (i.e. `/messages`), you want to see the best
-representation of the state of the room as others were seeing it at the time.
-
-
-## Forward extremity
-
-Most-recent-in-time events in the DAG which are not referenced by any other events' `prev_events` yet.
-
-The forward extremities of a room are used as the `prev_events` when the next event is sent.
-
-
-## Backwards extremity
-
-The current marker of where we have backfilled up to and will generally be the
-oldest-in-time events we know of in the DAG.
-
-This is an event where we haven't fetched all of the `prev_events` for.
-
-Once we have fetched all of its `prev_events`, it's unmarked as a backwards
-extremity (although we may have formed new backwards extremities from the prev
-events during the backfilling process).
-
-
-## Outliers
-
-We mark an event as an `outlier` when we haven't figured out the state for the
-room at that point in the DAG yet.
-
-We won't *necessarily* have the `prev_events` of an `outlier` in the database,
-but it's entirely possible that we *might*. The status of whether we have all of
-the `prev_events` is marked as a [backwards extremity](#backwards-extremity).
-
-For example, when we fetch the event auth chain or state for a given event, we
-mark all of those claimed auth events as outliers because we haven't done the
-state calculation ourself.
-
-
-## State groups
-
-For every non-outlier event we need to know the state at that event. Instead of
-storing the full state for each event in the DB (i.e. a `event_id -> state`
-mapping), which is *very* space inefficient when state doesn't change, we
-instead assign each different set of state a "state group" and then have
-mappings of `event_id -> state_group` and `state_group -> state`.
-
-
-### Stage group edges
-
-TODO: `state_group_edges` is a further optimization...

-for URLs which outputs [Open Graph](https://ogp.me/) responses (with some Matrix
-specific additions).
-
-This does have trade-offs compared to other designs:
-
-* Pros:
-  * Simple and flexible; can be used by any clients at any point
-* Cons:
-  * If each homeserver provides one of these independently, all the HSes in a
-    room may needlessly DoS the target URI
-  * The URL metadata must be stored somewhere, rather than just using Matrix
-    itself to store the media.
-  * Matrix cannot be used to distribute the metadata between homeservers.
-
-When Synapse is asked to preview a URL it does the following:
-
-1. Checks against a URL blacklist (defined as `url_preview_url_blacklist` in the
-   config).
-2. Checks the in-memory cache by URLs and returns the result if it exists. (This
-   is also used to de-duplicate processing of multiple in-flight requests at once.)
-3. Kicks off a background process to generate a preview:
-   1. Checks the database cache by URL and timestamp and returns the result if it
-      has not expired and was successful (a 2xx return code).
-   2. Checks if the URL matches an [oEmbed](https://oembed.com/) pattern. If it
-      does, update the URL to download.
-   3. Downloads the URL and stores it into a file via the media storage provider
-      and saves the local media metadata.
-   4. If the media is an image:
-      1. Generates thumbnails.
-      2. Generates an Open Graph response based on image properties.
-   5. If the media is HTML:
-      1. Decodes the HTML via the stored file.
-      2. Generates an Open Graph response from the HTML.
-      3. If an image exists in the Open Graph response:
-         1. Downloads the URL and stores it into a file via the media storage
-            provider and saves the local media metadata.
-         2. Generates thumbnails.
-         3. Updates the Open Graph response based on image properties.
-   6. If the media is JSON and an oEmbed URL was found:
-      1. Convert the oEmbed response to an Open Graph response.
-      2. If a thumbnail or image is in the oEmbed response:

 In the above flow:
 
 -   The logcontext is set

+-   `handle_request` yields the deferred
+-   The `inlineCallbacks` wrapper of `handle_request` returns a deferred
 
 So we have stopped processing the request (and will probably go on to
 start processing the next), without clearing the logcontext.
 
 To circumvent this problem, synapse code assumes that, wherever you have
-an awaitable, you will want to `await` it. To that end, whereever

 the example above) "just works". There are two cases:

 The following sections describe pitfalls and helpful patterns when

 ```python

 to where the logcontext was set, this will make things work out ok:

-It turns out that our logcontext rules do not play nicely with awaitable
+The conventions used work fine for a linear flow where everything
+happens in series via `defer.inlineCallbacks` and `yield`, but are
+certainly tricky to follow for any more exotic flows. It's hard not to
+wonder if we could have done something else.
+
+We're not going to rewrite Synapse now, so the following is entirely of
+academic interest, but I'd like to record some thoughts on an
+alternative approach.
+
+I briefly prototyped some code following an alternative set of rules. I
+think it would work, but I certainly didn't get as far as thinking how
+it would interact with concepts as complicated as the cache descriptors.
+
+My alternative rules were:
+
+-   functions always preserve the logcontext of their caller, whether or
+    not they are returning a Deferred.
+-   Deferreds returned by synapse functions run their callbacks in the
+    same context as the function was orignally called in.
+
+The main point of this scheme is that everywhere that sets the
+logcontext is responsible for clearing it before returning control to
+the reactor.
+
+So, for example, if you were the function which started a
+`with LoggingContext` block, you wouldn't `yield` within it --- instead
+you'd start off the background process, and then leave the `with` block
+to wait for it:
+
+```python
+def handle_request(request_id):
+    with context.LoggingContext() as request_context:
+        request_context.request = request_id
+        d = do_request_handling()
+
+    def cb(r):
+        logger.debug("finished")
+
+    d.addCallback(cb)
+    return d
+```
+
+(in general, mixing `with LoggingContext` blocks and
+`defer.inlineCallbacks` in the same function leads to slighly
+counter-intuitive code, under this scheme).
+
+Because we leave the original `with` block as soon as the Deferred is
+returned (as opposed to waiting for it to be resolved, as we do today),
+the logcontext is cleared before control passes back to the reactor; so
+if there is some code within `do_request_handling` which needs to wait
+for a Deferred to complete, there is no need for it to worry about
+clearing the logcontext before doing so:
+
+```python
+def handle_request():
+    r = do_some_stuff()
+    r.addCallback(do_some_more_stuff)
+    return r
+```
+
+--- and provided `do_some_stuff` follows the rules of returning a
+Deferred which runs its callbacks in the original logcontext, all is
+happy.
+
+The business of a Deferred which runs its callbacks in the original
+logcontext isn't hard to achieve --- we have it today, in the shape of
+`context._PreservingContextDeferred`:
+
+```python
+def do_some_stuff():
+    deferred = do_some_io()
+    pcd = _PreservingContextDeferred(LoggingContext.current_context())
+    deferred.chainDeferred(pcd)
+    return pcd
+```
+
+It turns out that, thanks to the way that Deferreds chain together, we
+automatically get the property of a context-preserving deferred with
+`defer.inlineCallbacks`, provided the final Defered the function
+`yields` on has that property. So we can just write:
+
+```python
+@defer.inlineCallbacks
+def handle_request():
+    yield do_some_stuff()
+    yield do_some_more_stuff()
+```
+
+To conclude: I think this scheme would have worked equally well, with
+less danger of messing it up, and probably made some more esoteric code
+easier to write. But again --- changing the conventions of the entire
+Synapse codebase is not a sensible option for the marginal improvement
+offered.

+# Modules
+
+Synapse supports extending its functionality by configuring external modules.
+
+## Using modules
+
+To use a module on Synapse, add it to the `modules` section of the configuration file:
+
+```yaml
+modules:
+  - module: my_super_module.MySuperClass
+    config:
+      do_thing: true
+  - module: my_other_super_module.SomeClass
+    config: {}
+```
+
+Each module is defined by a path to a Python class as well as a configuration. This
+information for a given module should be available in the module's own documentation.
+
+**Note**: When using third-party modules, you effectively allow someone else to run
+custom code on your Synapse homeserver. Server admins are encouraged to verify the
+provenance of the modules they use on their homeserver and make sure the modules aren't
+running malicious code on their instance.
+
+Also note that we are currently in the process of migrating module interfaces to this
+system. While some interfaces might be compatible with it, others still require
+configuring modules in another part of Synapse's configuration file. Currently, only the
+spam checker interface is compatible with this new system.
+
+## Writing a module
+
+A module is a Python class that uses Synapse's module API to interact with the
+homeserver. It can register callbacks that Synapse will call on specific operations, as
+well as web resources to attach to Synapse's web server.
+
+When instantiated, a module is given its parsed configuration as well as an instance of
+the `synapse.module_api.ModuleApi` class. The configuration is a dictionary, and is
+either the output of the module's `parse_config` static method (see below), or the
+configuration associated with the module in Synapse's configuration file.
+
+See the documentation for the `ModuleApi` class
+[here](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/synapse/module_api/__init__.py).
+
+### Handling the module's configuration
+
+A module can implement the following static method:
+
+```python
+@staticmethod
+def parse_config(config: dict) -> dict
+```
+
+This method is given a dictionary resulting from parsing the YAML configuration for the
+module. It may modify it (for example by parsing durations expressed as strings (e.g.
+"5d") into milliseconds, etc.), and return the modified dictionary. It may also verify
+that the configuration is correct, and raise an instance of
+`synapse.module_api.errors.ConfigError` if not.
+
+### Registering a web resource
+
+Modules can register web resources onto Synapse's web server using the following module
+API method:
+
+```python
+def ModuleApi.register_web_resource(path: str, resource: IResource)
+```
+
+The path is the full absolute path to register the resource at. For example, if you
+register a resource for the path `/_synapse/client/my_super_module/say_hello`, Synapse
+will serve it at `http(s)://[HS_URL]/_synapse/client/my_super_module/say_hello`. Note
+that Synapse does not allow registering resources for several sub-paths in the `/_matrix`
+namespace (such as anything under `/_matrix/client` for example). It is strongly
+recommended that modules register their web resources under the `/_synapse/client`
+namespace.
+
+The provided resource is a Python class that implements Twisted's [IResource](https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.web.resource.IResource.html)
+interface (such as [Resource](https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.web.resource.Resource.html)).
+
+Only one resource can be registered for a given path. If several modules attempt to
+register a resource for the same path, the module that appears first in Synapse's
+configuration file takes priority.
+
+Modules **must** register their web resources in their `__init__` method.
+
+### Registering a callback
+
+Modules can use Synapse's module API to register callbacks. Callbacks are functions that
+Synapse will call when performing specific actions. Callbacks must be asynchronous, and
+are split in categories. A single module may implement callbacks from multiple categories,
+and is under no obligation to implement all callbacks from the categories it registers
+callbacks for.
+
+#### Spam checker callbacks
+
+To register one of the callbacks described in this section, a module needs to use the
+module API's `register_spam_checker_callbacks` method. The callback functions are passed
+to `register_spam_checker_callbacks` as keyword arguments, with the callback name as the
+argument name and the function as its value. This is demonstrated in the example below.
+
+The available spam checker callbacks are:
+
+```python
+async def check_event_for_spam(event: "synapse.events.EventBase") -> Union[bool, str]
+```
+
+Called when receiving an event from a client or via federation. The module can return
+either a `bool` to indicate whether the event must be rejected because of spam, or a `str`
+to indicate the event must be rejected because of spam and to give a rejection reason to
+forward to clients.
+
+```python
+async def user_may_invite(inviter: str, invitee: str, room_id: str) -> bool
+```
+
+Called when processing an invitation. The module must return a `bool` indicating whether
+the inviter can invite the invitee to the given room. Both inviter and invitee are
+represented by their Matrix user ID (i.e. `@alice:example.com`).
+
+```python
+async def user_may_create_room(user: str) -> bool
+```
+
+Called when processing a room creation request. The module must return a `bool` indicating
+whether the given user (represented by their Matrix user ID) is allowed to create a room.
+
+```python
+async def user_may_create_room_alias(user: str, room_alias: "synapse.types.RoomAlias") -> bool
+```
+
+Called when trying to associate an alias with an existing room. The module must return a
+`bool` indicating whether the given user (represented by their Matrix user ID) is allowed
+to set the given alias.
+
+```python
+async def user_may_publish_room(user: str, room_id: str) -> bool
+```
+
+Called when trying to publish a room to the homeserver's public rooms directory. The
+module must return a `bool` indicating whether the given user (represented by their
+Matrix user ID) is allowed to publish the given room.
+
+```python
+async def check_username_for_spam(user_profile: Dict[str, str]) -> bool
+```
+
+Called when computing search results in the user directory. The module must return a
+`bool` indicating whether the given user profile can appear in search results. The profile
+is represented as a dictionary with the following keys:
+
+* `user_id`: The Matrix ID for this user.
+* `display_name`: The user's display name.
+* `avatar_url`: The `mxc://` URL to the user's avatar.
+
+The module is given a copy of the original dictionary, so modifying it from within the
+module cannot modify a user's profile when included in user directory search results.
+
+```python
+async def check_registration_for_spam(
+    email_threepid: Optional[dict],
+    username: Optional[str],
+    request_info: Collection[Tuple[str, str]],
+    auth_provider_id: Optional[str] = None,
+) -> "synapse.spam_checker_api.RegistrationBehaviour"
+```
+
+Called when registering a new user. The module must return a `RegistrationBehaviour`
+indicating whether the registration can go through or must be denied, or whether the user
+may be allowed to register but will be shadow banned.
+
+The arguments passed to this callback are:
+
+* `email_threepid`: The email address used for registering, if any.
+* `username`: The username the user would like to register. Can be `None`, meaning that
+  Synapse will generate one later.
+* `request_info`: A collection of tuples, which first item is a user agent, and which
+  second item is an IP address. These user agents and IP addresses are the ones that were
+  used during the registration process.
+* `auth_provider_id`: The identifier of the SSO authentication provider, if any.
+
+```python
+async def check_media_file_for_spam(
+    file_wrapper: "synapse.rest.media.v1.media_storage.ReadableFileWrapper",
+    file_info: "synapse.rest.media.v1._base.FileInfo"
+) -> bool
+```
+
+Called when storing a local or remote file. The module must return a boolean indicating
+whether the given file can be stored in the homeserver's media store.
+
+### Porting an existing module that uses the old interface
+
+In order to port a module that uses Synapse's old module interface, its author needs to:
+
+* ensure the module's callbacks are all asynchronous.
+* register their callbacks using one or more of the `register_[...]_callbacks` methods
+  from the `ModuleApi` class in the module's `__init__` method (see [this section](#registering-a-web-resource)
+  for more info).
+
+Additionally, if the module is packaged with an additional web resource, the module
+should register this resource in its `__init__` method using the `register_web_resource`
+method from the `ModuleApi` class (see [this section](#registering-a-web-resource) for
+more info).
+
+The module's author should also update any example in the module's configuration to only
+use the new `modules` section in Synapse's configuration file (see [this section](#using-modules)
+for more info).
+
+### Example
+
+The example below is a module that implements the spam checker callback
+`user_may_create_room` to deny room creation to user `@evilguy:example.com`, and registers
+a web resource to the path `/_synapse/client/demo/hello` that returns a JSON object.
+
+```python
+import json
+
+from twisted.web.resource import Resource
+from twisted.web.server import Request
+
+from synapse.module_api import ModuleApi
+
+

+        self.config = config
+
+    def render_GET(self, request: Request):
+        name = request.args.get(b"name")[0]
+        request.setHeader(b"Content-Type", b"application/json")
+        return json.dumps({"hello": name})
+
+
+class DemoModule:
+    def __init__(self, config: dict, api: ModuleApi):
+        self.config = config
+        self.api = api
+
+        self.api.register_web_resource(
+            path="/_synapse/client/demo/hello",
+            resource=DemoResource(self.config),
+        )
+
+        self.api.register_spam_checker_callbacks(
+            user_may_create_room=self.user_may_create_room,
+        )
+
+    @staticmethod
+    def parse_config(config):
+        return config
+
+    async def user_may_create_room(self, user: str) -> bool:
+        if user == "@evilguy:example.com":
+            return False
+
+        return True
+```

-
-The callback is given the Matrix user ID for a local user that is requesting presence data and
-should return the Matrix user IDs of the users whose presence state they are allowed to

-# Spam checker callbacks
-
-Spam checker callbacks allow module developers to implement spam mitigation actions for
-Synapse instances. Spam checker callbacks can be registered using the module API's
-`register_spam_checker_callbacks` method.
-
-## Callbacks
-
-The available spam checker callbacks are:
-
-### `check_event_for_spam`
-
-```python
-async def check_event_for_spam(event: "synapse.events.EventBase") -> Union[bool, str]
-```
-
-Called when receiving an event from a client or via federation. The module can return
-either a `bool` to indicate whether the event must be rejected because of spam, or a `str`
-to indicate the event must be rejected because of spam and to give a rejection reason to
-forward to clients.
-
-### `user_may_invite`
-
-```python
-async def user_may_invite(inviter: str, invitee: str, room_id: str) -> bool
-```
-
-Called when processing an invitation. The module must return a `bool` indicating whether
-the inviter can invite the invitee to the given room. Both inviter and invitee are
-represented by their Matrix user ID (e.g. `@alice:example.com`).
-
-### `user_may_create_room`
-
-```python
-async def user_may_create_room(user: str) -> bool
-```
-
-Called when processing a room creation request. The module must return a `bool` indicating
-whether the given user (represented by their Matrix user ID) is allowed to create a room.
-
-### `user_may_create_room_with_invites`
-
-```python
-async def user_may_create_room_with_invites(
-    user: str,
-    invites: List[str],
-    threepid_invites: List[Dict[str, str]],
-) -> bool
-```
-
-Called when processing a room creation request (right after `user_may_create_room`).
-The module is given the Matrix user ID of the user trying to create a room, as well as a
-list of Matrix users to invite and a list of third-party identifiers (3PID, e.g. email
-addresses) to invite.
-
-An invited Matrix user to invite is represented by their Matrix user IDs, and an invited
-3PIDs is represented by a dict that includes the 3PID medium (e.g. "email") through its
-`medium` key and its address (e.g. "alice@example.com") through its `address` key.
-
-See [the Matrix specification](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/appendices#pid-types) for more
-information regarding third-party identifiers.
-
-If no invite and/or 3PID invite were specified in the room creation request, the
-corresponding list(s) will be empty.
-
-**Note**: This callback is not called when a room is cloned (e.g. during a room upgrade)
-since no invites are sent when cloning a room. To cover this case, modules also need to
-implement `user_may_create_room`.
-
-### `user_may_create_room_alias`
-
-```python
-async def user_may_create_room_alias(user: str, room_alias: "synapse.types.RoomAlias") -> bool
-```
-
-Called when trying to associate an alias with an existing room. The module must return a
-`bool` indicating whether the given user (represented by their Matrix user ID) is allowed
-to set the given alias.
-
-### `user_may_publish_room`
-
-```python
-async def user_may_publish_room(user: str, room_id: str) -> bool
-```
-
-Called when trying to publish a room to the homeserver's public rooms directory. The
-module must return a `bool` indicating whether the given user (represented by their
-Matrix user ID) is allowed to publish the given room.
-
-### `check_username_for_spam`
-
-```python
-async def check_username_for_spam(user_profile: Dict[str, str]) -> bool
-```
-
-Called when computing search results in the user directory. The module must return a
-`bool` indicating whether the given user profile can appear in search results. The profile
-is represented as a dictionary with the following keys:
-
-* `user_id`: The Matrix ID for this user.
-* `display_name`: The user's display name.
-* `avatar_url`: The `mxc://` URL to the user's avatar.
-
-The module is given a copy of the original dictionary, so modifying it from within the
-module cannot modify a user's profile when included in user directory search results.
-
-### `check_registration_for_spam`
-
-```python
-async def check_registration_for_spam(
-    email_threepid: Optional[dict],
-    username: Optional[str],
-    request_info: Collection[Tuple[str, str]],
-    auth_provider_id: Optional[str] = None,
-) -> "synapse.spam_checker_api.RegistrationBehaviour"
-```
-
-Called when registering a new user. The module must return a `RegistrationBehaviour`
-indicating whether the registration can go through or must be denied, or whether the user
-may be allowed to register but will be shadow banned.
-
-The arguments passed to this callback are:
-
-* `email_threepid`: The email address used for registering, if any.
-* `username`: The username the user would like to register. Can be `None`, meaning that
-  Synapse will generate one later.
-* `request_info`: A collection of tuples, which first item is a user agent, and which
-  second item is an IP address. These user agents and IP addresses are the ones that were
-  used during the registration process.
-* `auth_provider_id`: The identifier of the SSO authentication provider, if any.
-
-### `check_media_file_for_spam`
-
-```python
-async def check_media_file_for_spam(
-    file_wrapper: "synapse.rest.media.v1.media_storage.ReadableFileWrapper",
-    file_info: "synapse.rest.media.v1._base.FileInfo",
-) -> bool
-```
-
-Called when storing a local or remote file. The module must return a boolean indicating
-whether the given file can be stored in the homeserver's media store.
-
-## Example
-
-The example below is a module that implements the spam checker callback
-`check_event_for_spam` to deny any message sent by users whose Matrix user IDs are

-# Third party rules callbacks
-
-Third party rules callbacks allow module developers to add extra checks to verify the
-validity of incoming events. Third party event rules callbacks can be registered using
-the module API's `register_third_party_rules_callbacks` method.
-
-## Callbacks
-
-The available third party rules callbacks are:
-
-### `check_event_allowed`
-
-```python
-async def check_event_allowed(
-    event: "synapse.events.EventBase",
-    state_events: "synapse.types.StateMap",
-) -> Tuple[bool, Optional[dict]]
-```
-
-**<span style="color:red">
-This callback is very experimental and can and will break without notice. Module developers
-are encouraged to implement `check_event_for_spam` from the spam checker category instead.
-</span>**
-
-Called when processing any incoming event, with the event and a `StateMap`
-representing the current state of the room the event is being sent into. A `StateMap` is
-a dictionary that maps tuples containing an event type and a state key to the
-corresponding state event. For example retrieving the room's `m.room.create` event from
-the `state_events` argument would look like this: `state_events.get(("m.room.create", ""))`.
-The module must return a boolean indicating whether the event can be allowed.
-
-Note that this callback function processes incoming events coming via federation
-traffic (on top of client traffic). This means denying an event might cause the local
-copy of the room's history to diverge from that of remote servers. This may cause
-federation issues in the room. It is strongly recommended to only deny events using this
-callback function if the sender is a local user, or in a private federation in which all
-servers are using the same module, with the same configuration.
-
-If the boolean returned by the module is `True`, it may also tell Synapse to replace the
-event with new data by returning the new event's data as a dictionary. In order to do
-that, it is recommended the module calls `event.get_dict()` to get the current event as a
-dictionary, and modify the returned dictionary accordingly.
-
-Note that replacing the event only works for events sent by local users, not for events
-received over federation.
-
-### `on_create_room`
-
-```python
-async def on_create_room(
-    requester: "synapse.types.Requester",
-    request_content: dict,
-    is_requester_admin: bool,
-) -> None
-```
-
-Called when processing a room creation request, with the `Requester` object for the user
-performing the request, a dictionary representing the room creation request's JSON body
-(see [the spec](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/latest#post-matrix-client-r0-createroom)
-for a list of possible parameters), and a boolean indicating whether the user performing
-the request is a server admin.
-
-Modules can modify the `request_content` (by e.g. adding events to its `initial_state`),
-or deny the room's creation by raising a `module_api.errors.SynapseError`.
-
-### `check_threepid_can_be_invited`
-
-```python
-async def check_threepid_can_be_invited(
-    medium: str,
-    address: str,
-    state_events: "synapse.types.StateMap",
-) -> bool:
-```
-
-Called when processing an invite via a third-party identifier (i.e. email or phone number).
-The module must return a boolean indicating whether the invite can go through.
-
-### `check_visibility_can_be_modified`
-
-```python
-async def check_visibility_can_be_modified(
-    room_id: str,
-    state_events: "synapse.types.StateMap",
-    new_visibility: str,
-) -> bool:
-```
-
-Called when changing the visibility of a room in the local public room directory. The
-visibility is a string that's either "public" or "private". The module must return a
-boolean indicating whether the change can go through.
-
-## Example
-
-The example below is a module that implements the third-party rules callback
-`check_event_allowed` to censor incoming messages as dictated by a third-party service.
-
-```python
-from typing import Optional, Tuple
-
-from synapse.module_api import ModuleApi
-
-_DEFAULT_CENSOR_ENDPOINT = "https://my-internal-service.local/censor-event"
-
-class EventCensorer:
-    def __init__(self, config: dict, api: ModuleApi):
-        self.api = api
-        self._endpoint = config.get("endpoint", _DEFAULT_CENSOR_ENDPOINT)
-
-        self.api.register_third_party_rules_callbacks(
-            check_event_allowed=self.check_event_allowed,
-        )
-
-    async def check_event_allowed(
-        self,
-        event: "synapse.events.EventBase",
-        state_events: "synapse.types.StateMap",
-    ) -> Tuple[bool, Optional[dict]]:
-        event_dict = event.get_dict()
-        new_event_content = await self.api.http_client.post_json_get_json(
-            uri=self._endpoint, post_json=event_dict,
-        )
-        event_dict["content"] = new_event_content
-        return event_dict

-# Writing a module
-
-A module is a Python class that uses Synapse's module API to interact with the
-homeserver. It can register callbacks that Synapse will call on specific operations, as
-well as web resources to attach to Synapse's web server.
-
-When instantiated, a module is given its parsed configuration as well as an instance of
-the `synapse.module_api.ModuleApi` class. The configuration is a dictionary, and is
-either the output of the module's `parse_config` static method (see below), or the
-configuration associated with the module in Synapse's configuration file.
-
-See the documentation for the `ModuleApi` class
-[here](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/synapse/module_api/__init__.py).
-
-## Handling the module's configuration
-
-A module can implement the following static method:
-
-```python
-@staticmethod
-def parse_config(config: dict) -> dict
-```
-
-This method is given a dictionary resulting from parsing the YAML configuration for the
-module. It may modify it (for example by parsing durations expressed as strings (e.g.
-"5d") into milliseconds, etc.), and return the modified dictionary. It may also verify
-that the configuration is correct, and raise an instance of
-`synapse.module_api.errors.ConfigError` if not.
-
-## Registering a web resource
-
-Modules can register web resources onto Synapse's web server using the following module
-API method:
-
-```python
-def ModuleApi.register_web_resource(path: str, resource: IResource) -> None
-```
-
-The path is the full absolute path to register the resource at. For example, if you
-register a resource for the path `/_synapse/client/my_super_module/say_hello`, Synapse
-will serve it at `http(s)://[HS_URL]/_synapse/client/my_super_module/say_hello`. Note
-that Synapse does not allow registering resources for several sub-paths in the `/_matrix`
-namespace (such as anything under `/_matrix/client` for example). It is strongly
-recommended that modules register their web resources under the `/_synapse/client`
-namespace.
-
-The provided resource is a Python class that implements Twisted's [IResource](https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.web.resource.IResource.html)
-interface (such as [Resource](https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.web.resource.Resource.html)).
-
-Only one resource can be registered for a given path. If several modules attempt to
-register a resource for the same path, the module that appears first in Synapse's
-configuration file takes priority.
-
-Modules **must** register their web resources in their `__init__` method.
-
-## Registering a callback
-
-Modules can use Synapse's module API to register callbacks. Callbacks are functions that
-Synapse will call when performing specific actions. Callbacks must be asynchronous, and
-are split in categories. A single module may implement callbacks from multiple categories,
-and is under no obligation to implement all callbacks from the categories it registers
-callbacks for.
-
-Modules can register callbacks using one of the module API's `register_[...]_callbacks`
-methods. The callback functions are passed to these methods as keyword arguments, with
-the callback name as the argument name and the function as its value. This is demonstrated
-in the example below. A `register_[...]_callbacks` method exists for each category.
-
-Callbacks for each category can be found on their respective page of the
-[Synapse documentation website](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse).
