-Synapse 1.24.0 (2020-12-09)
-===========================
-
-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 v1.23.1 and v1.24.0.
-
- There is a denial of service attack
-  ([CVE-2020-26257](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-26257))
-  against the federation APIs in which future events will not be correctly sent
-  to other servers over federation. This affects all servers that participate in
-  open federation. (Fixed in [#8776](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8776)).
-
- Synapse may be affected by OpenSSL
-  [CVE-2020-1971](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-1971).
-  Synapse administrators should ensure that they have the latest versions of
-  the cryptography Python package installed.
-
-To upgrade Synapse along with the cryptography package:
-
-* Administrators using the [`matrix.org` Docker
-  image](https://hub.docker.com/r/matrixdotorg/synapse/) or the [Debian/Ubuntu
-  packages from
-  `matrix.org`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/INSTALL.md#matrixorg-packages)
-  should ensure that they have version 1.24.0 or 1.23.1 installed: these images include
-  the updated packages.
-* Administrators who have [installed Synapse from
-  source](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/INSTALL.md#installing-from-source)
-  should upgrade the cryptography package within their virtualenv by running:
-  ```sh
-  <path_to_virtualenv>/bin/pip install 'cryptography>=3.3'
-  ```
-* Administrators who have installed Synapse from distribution packages should
-  consult the information from their distributions.
-

-===========================
-
-This release changes the way structured logging is configured. See the [upgrade notes](UPGRADE.rst#upgrading-to-v1230) for details.

-====================

-Custom OpenID Connect mapping provider breaking change
------------------------------------------------------
-
-This release allows the OpenID Connect mapping provider to perform normalisation
-of the localpart of the Matrix ID. This allows for the mapping provider to
-specify different algorithms, instead of the [default way](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/appendices#mapping-from-other-character-sets).
-
-If your Synapse configuration uses a custom mapping provider
-(`oidc_config.user_mapping_provider.module` is specified and not equal to
-`synapse.handlers.oidc_handler.JinjaOidcMappingProvider`) then you *must* ensure
-that `map_user_attributes` of the mapping provider performs some normalisation
-of the `localpart` returned. To match previous behaviour you can use the
-`map_username_to_mxid_localpart` function provided by Synapse. An example is
-shown below:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-  from synapse.types import map_username_to_mxid_localpart
-
-  class MyMappingProvider:
-      def map_user_attributes(self, userinfo, token):
-          # ... your custom logic ...
-          sso_user_id = ...
-          localpart = map_username_to_mxid_localpart(sso_user_id)
-
-          return {"localpart": localpart}

-* ``/_matrix/client/unstable/admin``

-* `order_by` - string - The method in which to sort the returned list of users. Valid values are:
-  - `user_id` - Users are ordered alphabetically by `user_id`. This is the default.
-  - `displayname` - Users are ordered alphabetically by `displayname`.
-  - `media_length` - Users are ordered by the total size of uploaded media in bytes.
-    Smallest to largest.
-  - `media_count` - Users are ordered by number of uploaded media. Smallest to largest.
-* `from_ts` - string representing a positive integer - Considers only
-  files created at this timestamp or later. Unix timestamp in ms.
-* `until_ts` - string representing a positive integer - Considers only
-  files created at this timestamp or earlier. Unix timestamp in ms.
-* `search_term` - string - Filter users by their user ID localpart **or** displayname.
-  The search term can be found in any part of the string.
-  Defaults to no filtering.
-* `dir` - string - Direction of order. Either `f` for forwards or `b` for backwards.

-## Troubleshooting
-
-The normal symptoms of a misconfigured TURN server are that calls between
-devices on different networks ring, but get stuck at "call
-connecting". Unfortunately, troubleshooting this can be tricky.
-
-Here are a few things to try:
-
- * Check that your TURN server is not behind NAT. As above, we're not aware of
-   anyone who has successfully set this up.
-
- * Check that you have opened your firewall to allow TCP and UDP traffic to the
-   TURN ports (normally 3478 and 5479).
-
- * Check that you have opened your firewall to allow UDP traffic to the UDP
-   relay ports (49152-65535 by default).
-
- * Some WebRTC implementations (notably, that of Google Chrome) appear to get
-   confused by TURN servers which are reachable over IPv6 (this appears to be
-   an unexpected side-effect of its handling of multiple IP addresses as
-   defined by
-   [`draft-ietf-rtcweb-ip-handling`](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-rtcweb-ip-handling-12)).
-
-   Try removing any AAAA records for your TURN server, so that it is only
-   reachable over IPv4.
-
- * Enable more verbose logging in coturn via the `verbose` setting:
-
-   ```
-   verbose
-   ```
-
-   ... and then see if there are any clues in its logs.
-
- * If you are using a browser-based client under Chrome, check
-   `chrome://webrtc-internals/` for insights into the internals of the
-   negotiation. On Firefox, check the "Connection Log" on `about:webrtc`.
-
-   (Understanding the output is beyond the scope of this document!)
-
- * There is a WebRTC test tool at
-   https://webrtc.github.io/samples/src/content/peerconnection/trickle-ice/. To
-   use it, you will need a username/password for your TURN server. You can
-   either:
-
-    * look for the `GET /_matrix/client/r0/voip/turnServer` request made by a
-      matrix client to your homeserver in your browser's network inspector. In
-      the response you should see `username` and `password`. Or:
-
-    * Use the following shell commands:
-
-      ```sh
-      secret=staticAuthSecretHere
-
-      u=$((`date +%s` + 3600)):test
-      p=$(echo -n $u | openssl dgst -hmac $secret -sha1 -binary | base64)
-      echo -e "username: $u\npassword: $p"
-      ```
-
-      Or:
-
-    * Temporarily configure coturn to accept a static username/password. To do
-      this, comment out `use-auth-secret` and `static-auth-secret` and add the
-      following:
-
-      ```
-      lt-cred-mech
-      user=username:password
-      ```
-
-      **Note**: these settings will not take effect unless `use-auth-secret`
-      and `static-auth-secret` are disabled.
-
-      Restart coturn after changing the configuration file.
-
-      Remember to restore the original settings to go back to testing with
-      Matrix clients!
-
-   If the TURN server is working correctly, you should see at least one `relay`
-   entry in the results.
