+DO NOT USE THESE DEMO SERVERS IN PRODUCTION
+
+Requires you to have done:
+    python setup.py develop
+
+
+The demo start.sh will start three synapse servers on ports 8080, 8081 and 8082, with host names localhost:$port. This can be easily changed to `hostname`:$port in start.sh if required.
+
+To enable the servers to communicate untrusted ssl certs are used. In order to do this the servers do not check the certs
+and are configured in a highly insecure way. Do not use these configuration files in production.
+
+stop.sh will stop the synapse servers and the webclient.
+
+clean.sh will delete the databases and log files.
+
+To start a completely new set of servers, run:
+
+    ./demo/stop.sh; ./demo/clean.sh && ./demo/start.sh
+
+
+Logs and sqlitedb will be stored in demo/808{0,1,2}.{log,db}
+
+
+
+Also note that when joining a public room on a differnt HS via "#foo:bar.net", then you are (in the current impl) joining a room with room_id "foo". This means that it won't work if your HS already has a room with that name.

+# MSC1711 Certificates FAQ
+
+## Historical Note
+This document was originally written to guide server admins through the upgrade
+path towards Synapse 1.0. Specifically,
+[MSC1711](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/main/proposals/1711-x509-for-federation.md)
+required that all servers present valid TLS certificates on their federation
+API. Admins were encouraged to achieve compliance from version 0.99.0 (released
+in February 2019) ahead of version 1.0 (released June 2019) enforcing the
+certificate checks.
+
+Much of what follows is now outdated since most admins will have already
+upgraded, however it may be of use to those with old installs returning to the
+project.
+
+If you are setting up a server from scratch you almost certainly should look at
+the [installation guide](setup/installation.md) instead.
+
+## Introduction
+The goal of Synapse 0.99.0 is to act as a stepping stone to Synapse 1.0.0. It
+supports the r0.1 release of the server to server specification, but is
+compatible with both the legacy Matrix federation behaviour (pre-r0.1) as well
+as post-r0.1 behaviour, in order to allow for a smooth upgrade across the
+federation.
+
+The most important thing to know is that Synapse 1.0.0 will require a valid TLS
+certificate on federation endpoints. Self signed certificates will not be
+sufficient.
+
+Synapse 0.99.0 makes it easy to configure TLS certificates and will
+interoperate with both >= 1.0.0 servers as well as existing servers yet to
+upgrade.
+
+**It is critical that all admins upgrade to 0.99.0 and configure a valid TLS
+certificate.** Admins will have 1 month to do so, after which 1.0.0 will be
+released and those servers without a valid certificate will not longer be able
+to federate with >= 1.0.0 servers.
+
+Full details on how to carry out this configuration change is given
+[below](#configuring-certificates-for-compatibility-with-synapse-100). A
+timeline and some frequently asked questions are also given below.
+
+For more details and context on the release of the r0.1 Server/Server API and
+imminent Matrix 1.0 release, you can also see our
+[main talk from FOSDEM 2019](https://matrix.org/blog/2019/02/04/matrix-at-fosdem-2019/).

+## Timeline
+
+**5th Feb 2019  - Synapse 0.99.0 is released.**
+
+All server admins are encouraged to upgrade.
+
+0.99.0:
+
+-   provides support for ACME to make setting up Let's Encrypt certs easy, as
+    well as .well-known support.
+
+-   does not enforce that a valid CA cert is present on the federation API, but
+    rather makes it easy to set one up.
+
+-   provides support for .well-known
+
+Admins should upgrade and configure a valid CA cert. Homeservers that require a
+.well-known entry (see below), should retain their SRV record and use it
+alongside their .well-known record.
+
+**10th June 2019  - Synapse 1.0.0 is released**
+
+1.0.0 is scheduled for release on 10th June. In
+accordance with the the [S2S spec](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/server_server/r0.1.0.html)
+1.0.0 will enforce certificate validity. This means that any homeserver without a
+valid certificate after this point will no longer be able to federate with
+1.0.0 servers.
+
+## Configuring certificates for compatibility with Synapse 1.0.0
+
+### If you do not currently have an SRV record
+
+In this case, your `server_name` points to the host where your Synapse is
+running. There is no need to create a `.well-known` URI or an SRV record, but
+you will need to give Synapse a valid, signed, certificate.
+
+### If you do have an SRV record currently
+
+If you are using an SRV record, your matrix domain (`server_name`) may not
+point to the same host that your Synapse is running on (the 'target
+domain'). (If it does, you can follow the recommendation above; otherwise, read
+on.)
+
+Let's assume that your `server_name` is `example.com`, and your Synapse is
+hosted at a target domain of `customer.example.net`. Currently you should have
+an SRV record which looks like:
+
+```
+_matrix._tcp.example.com. IN SRV 10 5 8000 customer.example.net.
+```
+
+In this situation, you have three choices for how to proceed:
+
+#### Option 1: give Synapse a certificate for your matrix domain
+
+Synapse 1.0 will expect your server to present a TLS certificate for your
+`server_name` (`example.com` in the above example). You can achieve this by acquiring a
+certificate for the `server_name` yourself (for example, using `certbot`), and giving it
+and the key to Synapse via `tls_certificate_path` and `tls_private_key_path`.
+
+#### Option 2: run Synapse behind a reverse proxy
+
+If you have an existing reverse proxy set up with correct TLS certificates for
+your domain, you can simply route all traffic through the reverse proxy by
+updating the SRV record appropriately (or removing it, if the proxy listens on
+8448).
+
+See [the reverse proxy documentation](reverse_proxy.md) for information on setting up a
+reverse proxy.
+
+#### Option 3: add a .well-known file to delegate your matrix traffic
+
+This will allow you to keep Synapse on a separate domain, without having to
+give it a certificate for the matrix domain.
+
+You can do this with a `.well-known` file as follows:
+
+ 1. Keep the SRV record in place - it is needed for backwards compatibility
+    with Synapse 0.34 and earlier.
+
+  2. Give Synapse a certificate corresponding to the target domain
+    (`customer.example.net` in the above example). You can do this by acquire a 
+    certificate for the target domain and giving it to Synapse via `tls_certificate_path`
+    and `tls_private_key_path`.
+
+ 3. Restart Synapse to ensure the new certificate is loaded.
+
+ 4. Arrange for a `.well-known` file at
+    `https://<server_name>/.well-known/matrix/server` with contents:
+
+    ```json
+    {"m.server": "<target server name>"}
+    ```
+
+    where the target server name is resolved as usual (i.e. SRV lookup, falling
+    back to talking to port 8448).
+
+    In the above example, where synapse is listening on port 8000,
+    `https://example.com/.well-known/matrix/server` should have `m.server` set to one of:
+
+    1. `customer.example.net` ─ with a SRV record on
+       `_matrix._tcp.customer.example.com` pointing to port 8000, or:
+
+    2. `customer.example.net` ─ updating synapse to listen on the default port
+       8448, or:
+
+    3. `customer.example.net:8000` ─ ensuring that if there is a reverse proxy
+       on `customer.example.net:8000` it correctly handles HTTP requests with
+       Host header set to `customer.example.net:8000`.
+
+## FAQ
+
+### Synapse 0.99.0 has just been released, what do I need to do right now?
+
+Upgrade as soon as you can in preparation for Synapse 1.0.0, and update your
+TLS certificates as [above](#configuring-certificates-for-compatibility-with-synapse-100).
+
+### What will happen if I do not set up a valid federation certificate immediately?
+
+Nothing initially, but once 1.0.0 is in the wild it will not be possible to
+federate with 1.0.0 servers.
+
+### What will happen if I do nothing at all?
+
+If the admin takes no action at all, and remains on a Synapse < 0.99.0 then the
+homeserver will be unable to federate with those who have implemented
+.well-known. Then, as above, once the month upgrade window has expired the
+homeserver will not be able to federate with any Synapse >= 1.0.0
+
+### When do I need a SRV record or .well-known URI?
+
+If your homeserver listens on the default federation port (8448), and your
+`server_name` points to the host that your homeserver runs on, you do not need an
+SRV record or `.well-known/matrix/server` URI.
+
+For instance, if you registered `example.com` and pointed its DNS A record at a
+fresh Upcloud VPS or similar, you could install Synapse 0.99 on that host,
+giving it a server_name of `example.com`, and it would automatically generate a
+valid TLS certificate for you via Let's Encrypt and no SRV record or
+`.well-known` URI would be needed.
+
+This is the common case, although you can add an SRV record or
+`.well-known/matrix/server` URI for completeness if you wish.
+
+**However**, if your server does not listen on port 8448, or if your `server_name`
+does not point to the host that your homeserver runs on, you will need to let
+other servers know how to find it.
+
+In this case, you should see ["If you do have an SRV record
+currently"](#if-you-do-have-an-srv-record-currently) above.
+
+### Can I still use an SRV record?
+
+Firstly, if you didn't need an SRV record before (because your server is
+listening on port 8448 of your server_name), you certainly don't need one now:
+the defaults are still the same.
+
+If you previously had an SRV record, you can keep using it provided you are
+able to give Synapse a TLS certificate corresponding to your server name. For
+example, suppose you had the following SRV record, which directs matrix traffic
+for example.com to matrix.example.com:443:
+
+```
+_matrix._tcp.example.com. IN SRV 10 5 443 matrix.example.com
+```
+
+In this case, Synapse must be given a certificate for example.com - or be
+configured to acquire one from Let's Encrypt.
+
+If you are unable to give Synapse a certificate for your server_name, you will
+also need to use a .well-known URI instead. However, see also "I have created a
+.well-known URI. Do I still need an SRV record?".
+
+### I have created a .well-known URI. Do I still need an SRV record?
+
+As of Synapse 0.99, Synapse will first check for the existence of a `.well-known`
+URI and follow any delegation it suggests. It will only then check for the
+existence of an SRV record.
+
+That means that the SRV record will often be redundant. However, you should
+remember that there may still be older versions of Synapse in the federation
+which do not understand `.well-known` URIs, so if you removed your SRV record you
+would no longer be able to federate with them.
+
+It is therefore best to leave the SRV record in place for now. Synapse 0.34 and
+earlier will follow the SRV record (and not care about the invalid
+certificate). Synapse 0.99 and later will follow the .well-known URI, with the
+correct certificate chain.
+
+### It used to work just fine, why are you breaking everything?
+
+We have always wanted Matrix servers to be as easy to set up as possible, and
+so back when we started federation in 2014 we didn't want admins to have to go
+through the cumbersome process of buying a valid TLS certificate to run a
+server. This was before Let's Encrypt came along and made getting a free and
+valid TLS certificate straightforward. So instead, we adopted a system based on
+[Perspectives](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergence_(SSL)): an approach
+where you check a set of "notary servers" (in practice, homeservers) to vouch
+for the validity of a certificate rather than having it signed by a CA. As long
+as enough different notaries agree on the certificate's validity, then it is
+trusted.
+
+However, in practice this has never worked properly. Most people only use the
+default notary server (matrix.org), leading to inadvertent centralisation which
+we want to eliminate. Meanwhile, we never implemented the full consensus
+algorithm to query the servers participating in a room to determine consensus
+on whether a given certificate is valid. This is fiddly to get right
+(especially in face of sybil attacks), and we found ourselves questioning
+whether it was worth the effort to finish the work and commit to maintaining a
+secure certificate validation system as opposed to focusing on core Matrix
+development.
+
+Meanwhile, Let's Encrypt came along in 2016, and put the final nail in the
+coffin of the Perspectives project (which was already pretty dead). So, the
+Spec Core Team decided that a better approach would be to mandate valid TLS
+certificates for federation alongside the rest of the Web. More details can be
+found in
+[MSC1711](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/main/proposals/1711-x509-for-federation.md#background-the-failure-of-the-perspectives-approach).
+
+This results in a breaking change, which is disruptive, but absolutely critical
+for the security model. However, the existence of Let's Encrypt as a trivial
+way to replace the old self-signed certificates with valid CA-signed ones helps
+smooth things over massively, especially as Synapse can now automate Let's
+Encrypt certificate generation if needed.
+
+### Can I manage my own certificates rather than having Synapse renew certificates itself?
+
+Yes, you are welcome to manage your certificates yourself. Synapse will only
+attempt to obtain certificates from Let's Encrypt if you configure it to do
+so.The only requirement is that there is a valid TLS cert present for
+federation end points.
+
+### Do you still recommend against using a reverse proxy on the federation port?
+
+We no longer actively recommend against using a reverse proxy. Many admins will
+find it easier to direct federation traffic to a reverse proxy and manage their
+own TLS certificates, and this is a supported configuration.
+
+See [the reverse proxy documentation](reverse_proxy.md) for information on setting up a
+reverse proxy.
+
+### Do I still need to give my TLS certificates to Synapse if I am using a reverse proxy?
+
+Practically speaking, this is no longer necessary.
+
+If you are using a reverse proxy for all of your TLS traffic, then you can set
+`no_tls: True`. In that case, the only reason Synapse needs the certificate is
+to populate a legacy 'tls_fingerprints' field in the federation API. This is
+ignored by Synapse 0.99.0 and later, and the only time pre-0.99 Synapses will
+check it is when attempting to fetch the server keys - and generally this is
+delegated via `matrix.org`, which is on 0.99.0.
+
+However, there is a bug in Synapse 0.99.0
+[4554](<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4554>) which prevents
+Synapse from starting if you do not give it a TLS certificate. To work around
+this, you can give it any TLS certificate at all. This will be fixed soon.
+
+### Do I need the same certificate for the client and federation port?
+
+No. There is nothing stopping you from using different certificates,
+particularly if you are using a reverse proxy. However, Synapse will use the
+same certificate on any ports where TLS is configured.
+
+### How do I tell Synapse to reload my keys/certificates after I replace them?
+
+Synapse will reload the keys and certificates when it receives a SIGHUP - for
+example `kill -HUP $(cat homeserver.pid)`. Alternatively, simply restart
+Synapse, though this will result in downtime while it restarts.

-Requires you to have a [Synapse development environment setup](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/development/contributing_guide.html#4-install-the-dependencies).
-
-The demo setup allows running three federation Synapse servers, with server
-names `localhost:8080`, `localhost:8081`, and `localhost:8082`.
-
-You can access them via any Matrix client over HTTP at `localhost:8080`,

-`localhost:8481`, and `localhost:8482`.
-
-To enable the servers to communicate, self-signed SSL certificates are generated
-and the servers are configured in a highly insecure way, including:
-
-* Not checking certificates over federation.
-* Not verifying keys.
-
-The servers are configured to store their data under `demo/8080`, `demo/8081`, and
-`demo/8082`. This includes configuration, logs, SQLite databases, and media.
-
-Note that when joining a public room on a different HS via "#foo:bar.net", then

-# Managing dependencies with Poetry
-
-This is a quick cheat sheet for developers on how to use [`poetry`](https://python-poetry.org/).
-
-# Background
-
-Synapse uses a variety of third-party Python packages to function as a homeserver.
-Some of these are direct dependencies, listed in `pyproject.toml` under the
-`[tool.poetry.dependencies]` section. The rest are transitive dependencies (the
-things that our direct dependencies themselves depend on, and so on recursively.)
-
-We maintain a locked list of all our dependencies (transitive included) so that
-we can track exactly which version of each dependency appears in a given release.
-See [here](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11537#issue-1074469665)
-for discussion of why we wanted this for Synapse. We chose to use
-[`poetry`](https://python-poetry.org/) to manage this locked list; see
-[this comment](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11537#issuecomment-1015975819)
-for the reasoning.
-
-The locked dependencies get included in our "self-contained" releases: namely,
-our docker images and our debian packages. We also use the locked dependencies
-in development and our continuous integration.
-
-Separately, our "broad" dependencies—the version ranges specified in
-`pyproject.toml`—are included as metadata in our "sdists" and "wheels" [uploaded
-to PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/matrix-synapse). Installing from PyPI or from
-the Synapse source tree directly will _not_ use the locked dependencies; instead,
-they'll pull in the latest version of each package available at install time.
-
-## Example dependency
-
-An example may help. We have a broad dependency on
-[`phonenumbers`](https://pypi.org/project/phonenumbers/), as declared in
-this snippet from pyproject.toml [as of Synapse 1.57](

-# Tooling recommendation: direnv
-
-[`direnv`](https://direnv.net/) is a tool for activating environments in your
-shell inside a given directory. Its support for poetry is unofficial (a
-community wiki recipe only), but works solidly in our experience. We thoroughly
-recommend it for daily use. To use it:
-
-1. [Install `direnv`](https://direnv.net/docs/installation.html) - it's likely
-   packaged for your system already.
-2. Teach direnv about poetry. The [shell config here](https://github.com/direnv/direnv/wiki/Python#poetry)
-   needs to be added to `~/.config/direnv/direnvrc` (or more generally `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/direnv/direnvrc`).
-3. Mark the synapse checkout as a poetry project: `echo layout poetry > .envrc`.
-4. Convince yourself that you trust this `.envrc` configuration and project.
-   Then formally confirm this to `direnv` by running `direnv allow`.
-
-Then whenever you navigate to the synapse checkout, you should be able to run
-e.g. `mypy` instead of `poetry run mypy`; `python` instead of
-`poetry run python`; and your shell commands will automatically run in the
-context of poetry's venv, without having to run `poetry shell` beforehand.
-
-
-# How do I...
-
-## ...reset my venv to the locked environment?
-
-```shell
-poetry install --extras all --remove-untracked
-```
-
-## ...run a command in the `poetry` virtualenv?
-
-Use `poetry run cmd args` when you need the python virtualenv context.
-To avoid typing `poetry run` all the time, you can run  `poetry shell`
-to start a new shell in the poetry virtualenv context. Within `poetry shell`,
-`python`, `pip`, `mypy`, `trial`, etc. are all run inside the project virtualenv
-and isolated from the rest o the system.
-
-Roughly speaking, the translation from a traditional virtualenv is:
-- `env/bin/activate` -> `poetry shell`, and
-- `deactivate` -> close the terminal (Ctrl-D, `exit`, etc.)
-
-See also the direnv recommendation above, which makes `poetry run` and
-`poetry shell` unnecessary.
-
-
-## ...inspect the `poetry` virtualenv?
-
-Some suggestions:
-
-```shell
-# Current env only
-poetry env info
-# All envs: this allows you to have e.g. a poetry managed venv for Python 3.7,
-# and another for Python 3.10.
-poetry env list --full-path
-poetry run pip list
-```
-
-Note that `poetry show` describes the abstract *lock file* rather than your
-on-disk environment. With that said, `poetry show --tree` can sometimes be
-useful.
-
-
-## ...add a new dependency?
-
-Either:
-- manually update `pyproject.toml`; then `poetry lock --no-update`; or else
-- `poetry add packagename`. See `poetry add --help`; note the `--dev`,
-  `--extras` and `--optional` flags in particular.
-  - **NB**: this specifies the new package with a version given by a "caret bound". This won't get forced to its lowest version in the old deps CI job: see [this TODO](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/4e1374373857f2f7a911a31c50476342d9070681/.ci/scripts/test_old_deps.sh#L35-L39).
-
-Include the updated `pyproject.toml` and `poetry.lock` files in your commit.
-
-## ...remove a dependency?
-
-This is not done often and is untested, but
-
-```shell
-poetry remove packagename
-```
-
-ought to do the trick. Alternatively, manually update `pyproject.toml` and
-`poetry lock --no-update`. Include the updated `pyproject.toml` and poetry.lock`
-files in your commit.
-
-## ...update the version range for an existing dependency?
-
-Best done by manually editing `pyproject.toml`, then `poetry lock --no-update`.
-Include the updated `pyproject.toml` and `poetry.lock` in your commit.
-
-## ...update a dependency in the locked environment?
-
-Use
-
-```shell
-poetry update packagename
-```
-
-to use the latest version of `packagename` in the locked environment, without
-affecting the broad dependencies listed in the wheel.
-
-There doesn't seem to be a way to do this whilst locking a _specific_ version of
-`packagename`. We can workaround this (crudely) as follows:

-# Synapse Release Cycle
-
-Releases of Synapse follow a two week release cycle with new releases usually
-occurring on Tuesdays:
-
-* Day 0: Synapse `N - 1` is released.
-* Day 7: Synapse `N` release candidate 1 is released.
-* Days 7 - 13: Synapse `N` release candidates 2+ are released, if bugs are found.
-* Day 14: Synapse `N` is released.
-
-Note that this schedule might be modified depending on the availability of the
-Synapse team, e.g. releases may be skipped to avoid holidays.
-
-Release announcements can be found in the
-[release category of the Matrix blog](https://matrix.org/blog/category/releases).
-
-## Bugfix releases
-
-If a bug is found after release that is deemed severe enough (by a combination
-of the impacted users and the impact on those users) then a bugfix release may
-be issued. This may be at any point in the release cycle.
-
-## Security releases
-
-Security will sometimes be backported to the previous version and released
-immediately before the next release candidate. An example of this might be:
-
-* Day 0: Synapse N - 1 is released.
-* Day 7: Synapse (N - 1).1 is released as Synapse N - 1 + the security fix.
-* Day 7: Synapse N release candidate 1 is released (including the security fix).
-
-Depending on the impact and complexity of security fixes, multiple fixes might
-be held to be released together.
-
-In some cases, a pre-disclosure of a security release will be issued as a notice
-to Synapse operators that there is an upcoming security release. These can be
-found in the [security category of the Matrix blog](https://matrix.org/blog/category/security).

-
-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. They are "floating" events that we haven't
-yet correlated to the DAG.
-
-Outliers typically arise when we fetch the auth chain or state for a given

-without calculating the state at those events, or backfilling their
-`prev_events`. Since we don't have the state at any events fetched in that
-way, we mark them as outliers.
-
-So, typically, we won't have the `prev_events` of an `outlier` in the database,
-(though it's entirely possible that we *might* have them for some other
-reason). Other things that make outliers different from regular events:
-
- * We don't have state for them, so there should be no entry in
-   `event_to_state_groups` for an outlier. (In practice this isn't always
-   the case, though I'm not sure why: see https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12201).
-
- * We don't record entries for them in the `event_edges`,
-   `event_forward_extremeties` or `event_backward_extremities` tables.
-
-Since outliers are not tied into the DAG, they do not normally form part of the
-timeline sent down to clients via `/sync` or `/messages`; however there is an
-exception:
-
-### Out-of-band membership events
-
-A special case of outlier events are some membership events for federated rooms
-that we aren't full members of. For example:
-
- * invites received over federation, before we join the room
- * *rejections* for said invites
- * knock events for rooms that we would like to join but have not yet joined.
-
-In all the above cases, we don't have the state for the room, which is why they
-are treated as outliers. They are a bit special though, in that they are
-proactively sent to clients via `/sync`.

-# Account data callbacks
-
-Account data callbacks allow module developers to react to changes of the account data
-of local users. Account data callbacks can be registered using the module API's
-`register_account_data_callbacks` method.
-
-## Callbacks
-
-The available account data callbacks are:
-
-### `on_account_data_updated`
-
-_First introduced in Synapse v1.57.0_
-
-```python
-async def on_account_data_updated(
-    user_id: str,
-    room_id: Optional[str],
-    account_data_type: str,
-    content: "synapse.module_api.JsonDict",
-) -> None:
-```
-
-Called after user's account data has been updated. The module is given the
-Matrix ID of the user whose account data is changing, the room ID the data is associated
-with, the type associated with the change, as well as the new content. If the account
-data is not associated with a specific room, then the room ID is `None`.
-
-This callback is triggered when new account data is added or when the data associated with
-a given type (and optionally room) changes. This includes deletion, since in Matrix,
-deleting account data consists of replacing the data associated with a given type
-(and optionally room) with an empty dictionary (`{}`).
-
-Note that this doesn't trigger when changing the tags associated with a room, as these are
-processed separately by Synapse.
-
-If multiple modules implement this callback, Synapse runs them all in order.

-### `check_can_shutdown_room`
-
-_First introduced in Synapse v1.55.0_
-
-```python
-async def check_can_shutdown_room(
-    user_id: str, room_id: str,
-) -> bool:
-```
-
-Called when an admin user requests the shutdown of a room. The module must return a
-boolean indicating whether the shutdown can go through. If the callback returns `False`,
-the shutdown will not proceed and the caller will see a `M_FORBIDDEN` error.
-
-If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
-callback returns `True`, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first
-callback that does not return `True` will be used. If this happens, Synapse will not call

-
-```python
-async def check_can_deactivate_user(
-    user_id: str, by_admin: bool,
-) -> bool:
-```
-
-Called when the deactivation of a user is requested. User deactivation can be
-performed by an admin or the user themselves, so developers are encouraged to check the
-requester when implementing this callback. The module must return a
-boolean indicating whether the deactivation can go through. If the callback returns `False`,
-the deactivation will not proceed and the caller will see a `M_FORBIDDEN` error.
-
-The module is passed two parameters, `user_id` which is the ID of the user being deactivated, and `by_admin` which is `True` if the request is made by a serve admin, and `False` otherwise.

-    new_profile: "synapse.module_api.ProfileInfo",
-    by_admin: bool,
-    deactivation: bool,
-) -> None:
-```
-
-Called after updating a local user's profile. The update can be triggered either by the
-user themselves or a server admin. The update can also be triggered by a user being
-deactivated (in which case their display name is set to an empty string (`""`) and the
-avatar URL is set to `None`). The module is passed the Matrix ID of the user whose profile
-has been updated, their new profile, as well as a `by_admin` boolean that is `True` if the
-update was triggered by a server admin (and `False` otherwise), and a `deactivated`
-boolean that is `True` if the update is a result of the user being deactivated.
-
-Note that the `by_admin` boolean is also `True` if the profile change happens as a result
-of the user logging in through Single Sign-On, or if a server admin updates their own
-profile.
-
-Per-room profile changes do not trigger this callback to be called. Synapse administrators
-wishing this callback to be called on every profile change are encouraged to disable
-per-room profiles globally using the `allow_per_room_profiles` configuration setting in
-Synapse's configuration file.
-This callback is not called when registering a user, even when setting it through the
-[`get_displayname_for_registration`](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/modules/password_auth_provider_callbacks.html#get_displayname_for_registration)

-deactivation can be triggered either by the user themselves or a server admin. The module
-is passed the Matrix ID of the user whose status is changed, as well as a `deactivated`
-boolean that is `True` if the user is being deactivated and `False` if they're being
-reactivated, and a `by_admin` boolean that is `True` if the deactivation was triggered by
-a server admin (and `False` otherwise). This latter `by_admin` boolean is always `True`
-if the user is being reactivated, as this operation can only be performed through the
-admin API.

-
-Called after creating an association between a local user and a third-party identifier
-(email address, phone number). The module is given the Matrix ID of the user the
-association is for, as well as the medium (`email` or `msisdn`) and address of the
-third-party identifier.
-
-Note that this callback is _not_ called after a successful association on an _identity
-server_.

 The above logging config will set Synapse as 'INFO' logging level by default,
 with the SQL layer at 'WARNING', and will log JSON formatted messages to a
 remote endpoint at 10.1.2.3:9999.
+
+## Upgrading from legacy structured logging configuration
+
+Versions of Synapse prior to v1.23.0 included a custom structured logging
+configuration which is deprecated. It used a `structured: true` flag and
+configured `drains` instead of ``handlers`` and `formatters`.
+
+Synapse currently automatically converts the old configuration to the new
+configuration, but this will be removed in a future version of Synapse. The
+following reference can be used to update your configuration. Based on the drain
+`type`, we can pick a new handler:
+
+1. For a type of `console`, `console_json`, or `console_json_terse`: a handler
+   with a class of `logging.StreamHandler` and a `stream` of `ext://sys.stdout`
+   or `ext://sys.stderr` should be used.
+2. For a type of `file` or `file_json`: a handler of `logging.FileHandler` with
+   a location of the file path should be used.
+3. For a type of `network_json_terse`: a handler of `synapse.logging.RemoteHandler`
+   with the host and port should be used.
+
+Then based on the drain `type` we can pick a new formatter:
+
+1. For a type of `console` or `file` no formatter is necessary.
+2. For a type of `console_json` or `file_json`: a formatter of
+   `synapse.logging.JsonFormatter` should be used.
+3. For a type of `console_json_terse` or `network_json_terse`: a formatter of
+   `synapse.logging.TerseJsonFormatter` should be used.
+
+For each new handler and formatter they should be added to the logging configuration
+and then assigned to either a logger or the root logger.
+
+An example legacy configuration:
+
+```yaml
+structured: true
+
+loggers:
+    synapse:
+        level: INFO
+    synapse.storage.SQL:
+        level: WARNING
+
+drains:
+    console:
+        type: console
+        location: stdout
+    file:
+        type: file_json
+        location: homeserver.log
+```
+
+Would be converted into a new configuration:
+
+```yaml
+version: 1
+
+formatters:
+    json:
+        class: synapse.logging.JsonFormatter
+
+handlers:
+    console:
+        class: logging.StreamHandler
+        location: ext://sys.stdout
+    file:
+        class: logging.FileHandler
+        formatter: json
+        filename: homeserver.log
+
+loggers:
+    synapse:
+        level: INFO
+        handlers: [console, file]
+    synapse.storage.SQL:
+        level: WARNING
+```
+
+The new logging configuration is a bit more verbose, but significantly more
+flexible. It allows for configuration that were not previously possible, such as
+sending plain logs over the network, or using different handlers for different
+modules.

-## Changes to database schema for application services
-
-Synapse v1.57.0 includes a [change](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/12209) to the
-way transaction IDs are managed for application services. If your deployment uses a dedicated
-worker for application service traffic, **it must be stopped** when the database is upgraded
-(which normally happens when the main process is upgraded), to ensure the change is made safely
-without any risk of reusing transaction IDs.
-
-Deployments which do not use separate worker processes can be upgraded as normal. Similarly,
-deployments where no application services are in use can be upgraded as normal.
-
-<details>
-<summary><b>Recovering from an incorrect upgrade</b></summary>

- Error during initialisation:
-
- Postgres sequence 'application_services_txn_id_seq' is inconsistent with associated
- table 'application_services_txns'. This can happen if Synapse has been downgraded and
- then upgraded again, or due to a bad migration.
-
- To fix this error, shut down Synapse (including any and all workers)
- and run the following SQL:
-
-     SELECT setval('application_services_txn_id_seq', (
-         SELECT GREATEST(MAX(txn_id), 0) FROM application_services_txns

-## Open registration without verification is now disabled by default
-
-Synapse will refuse to start if registration is enabled without email, captcha, or token-based verification unless the new config
-flag `enable_registration_without_verification` is set to "true".
-
-## Groups/communities feature has been deprecated
-
-The non-standard groups/communities feature in Synapse has been deprecated and will
-be disabled by default in Synapse v1.58.0.
-
-You can test disabling it by adding the following to your homeserver configuration:
-

-[has been made](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/12140) an
-[entry point](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/entry-points/)
-and no longer exists at the root of Synapse's source tree. If you wish to use
-`synctl` to manage your homeserver, you should invoke `synctl` directly, e.g.
-`synctl start` instead of `./synctl start` or `/path/to/synctl start`.
-
-You will need to ensure `synctl` is on your `PATH`.
-  - This is automatically the case when using
-    [Debian packages](https://packages.matrix.org/debian/) or
-    [docker images](https://hub.docker.com/r/matrixdotorg/synapse)
-    provided by Matrix.org.
-  - When installing from a wheel, sdist, or PyPI, a `synctl` executable is added
-    to your Python installation's `bin`. This should be on your `PATH`
-    automatically, though you might need to activate a virtual environment
-    depending on how you installed Synapse.

-
-Configuring a non-HTTP(S) `web_client_location` configuration is is now a

-feature has been stabilised and moved from:

-## Time-based cache expiry is now enabled by default
-
-Formerly, entries in the cache were not evicted regardless of whether they were accessed after storing.
-This behavior has now changed. By default entries in the cache are now evicted after 30m of not being accessed.
-To change the default behavior, go to the `caches` section of the config and change the `expire_caches` and
-`cache_entry_ttl` flags as necessary. Please note that these flags replace the `expiry_time` flag in the config.
-The `expiry_time` flag will still continue to work, but it has been deprecated and will be removed in the future.

-- `org.matrix.msc3283.set_displayname`,
-- `org.matrix.msc3283.set_avatar_url` and
-- `org.matrix.msc3283.3pid_changes`
-
-are deprecated and scheduled to be removed in Synapse v1.54.0.

-As announced with the release of [Synapse 1.47.0](#deprecation-of-the-user_may_create_room_with_invites-module-callback),
-the deprecated `user_may_create_room_with_invites` module callback has been removed.
-
-Modules relying on it can instead implement [`user_may_invite`](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/modules/spam_checker_callbacks.html#user_may_invite)
-and use the [`get_room_state`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/872f23b95fa980a61b0866c1475e84491991fa20/synapse/module_api/__init__.py#L869-L876)
-module API to infer whether the invite is happening while creating a room (see [this function](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-domain-rule-checker/blob/e7d092dd9f2a7f844928771dbfd9fd24c2332e48/synapse_domain_rule_checker/__init__.py#L56-L89)

-`matrixdotorg/synapse` and the Debian packages from `packages.matrix.org` are using the
-updated library.

-Similarly, a non-HTTP(S) `web_client_location` configuration is deprecated and
-will become a configuration error in Synapse v1.53.0.
-
-
-# Upgrading to v1.50.0

-## Dropping support for old Python and Postgres versions
-
-In line with our [deprecation policy](deprecation_policy.md),
