-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.

-Upgrading to v1.24.0
-====================
-
-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}
-
-Removal historical Synapse Admin API 
-------------------------------------
-
-Historically, the Synapse Admin API has been accessible under:
-
-* ``/_matrix/client/api/v1/admin``
-* ``/_matrix/client/unstable/admin``
-* ``/_matrix/client/r0/admin``
-* ``/_synapse/admin/v1``
-
-The endpoints with ``/_matrix/client/*`` prefixes have been removed as of v1.24.0.
-The Admin API is now only accessible under:
-
-* ``/_synapse/admin/v1``
-
-The only exception is the `/admin/whois` endpoint, which is
-`also available via the client-server API <https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#get-matrix-client-r0-admin-whois-userid>`_.
-
-The deprecation of the old endpoints was announced with Synapse 1.20.0 (released
-on 2020-09-22) and makes it easier for homeserver admins to lock down external
-access to the Admin API endpoints.
-
-Upgrading to v1.23.0
-====================
-
-Structured logging configuration breaking changes
--------------------------------------------------
-
-This release deprecates use of the ``structured: true`` logging configuration for
-structured logging. If your logging configuration contains ``structured: true``
-then it should be modified based on the `structured logging documentation
-<https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/structured_logging.md>`_.
-
-The ``structured`` and ``drains`` logging options are now deprecated and should
-be replaced by standard logging configuration of ``handlers`` and ``formatters``.
-
-A future will release of Synapse will make using ``structured: true`` an error.
-
-Upgrading to v1.22.0
-====================
-
-ThirdPartyEventRules breaking changes
--------------------------------------
-
-This release introduces a backwards-incompatible change to modules making use of
-``ThirdPartyEventRules`` in Synapse. If you make use of a module defined under the
-``third_party_event_rules`` config option, please make sure it is updated to handle
-the below change:
-
-The ``http_client`` argument is no longer passed to modules as they are initialised. Instead,
-modules are expected to make use of the ``http_client`` property on the ``ModuleApi`` class.
-Modules are now passed a ``module_api`` argument during initialisation, which is an instance of
-``ModuleApi``. ``ModuleApi`` instances have a ``http_client`` property which acts the same as
-the ``http_client`` argument previously passed to ``ThirdPartyEventRules`` modules.
-

-For more complex setups (e.g. for workers) you can also pass your args directly to synapse using `run` mode. For example like this:
-
-```
-docker run -d --name synapse \
-    --mount type=volume,src=synapse-data,dst=/data \
-    -p 8008:8008 \

-If you do not provide `-m`, the value of the `SYNAPSE_WORKER` environment variable is used. If you do not provide at least one `--config-path` or `-c`, the value of the `SYNAPSE_CONFIG_PATH` environment variable is used instead.

 ### Lifetime limits
 
-Server admins can set limits on the values of `max_lifetime` to use when
-purging old events in a room. These limits can be defined as such in the
-`retention` section of the configuration file:
+**Note: this feature is mainly useful within a closed federation or on
+servers that don't federate, because there currently is no way to
+enforce these limits in an open federation.**
+
+Server admins can restrict the values their local users are allowed to
+use for both `min_lifetime` and `max_lifetime`. These limits can be
+defined as such in the `retention` section of the configuration file:
 
 ```yaml
   allowed_lifetime_min: 1d
   allowed_lifetime_max: 1y
 ```
 
-The limits are considered when running purge jobs. If necessary, the
-effective value of `max_lifetime` will be brought between
-`allowed_lifetime_min` and `allowed_lifetime_max` (inclusive).
-This means that, if the value of `max_lifetime` defined in the room's state
-is lower than `allowed_lifetime_min`, the value of `allowed_lifetime_min`
-will be used instead. Likewise, if the value of `max_lifetime` is higher
-than `allowed_lifetime_max`, the value of `allowed_lifetime_max` will be
-used instead.
-
-In the example above, we ensure Synapse never deletes events that are less
-than one day old, and that it always deletes events that are over a year
-old.
-
-If a default policy is set, and its `max_lifetime` value is lower than
-`allowed_lifetime_min` or higher than `allowed_lifetime_max`, the same
-process applies.
-
-Both parameters are optional; if one is omitted Synapse won't use it to
-adjust the effective value of `max_lifetime`.
+Here, `allowed_lifetime_min` is the lowest value a local user can set
+for both `min_lifetime` and `max_lifetime`, and `allowed_lifetime_max`
+is the highest value. Both parameters are optional (e.g. setting
+`allowed_lifetime_min` but not `allowed_lifetime_max` only enforces a
+minimum and no maximum).
 
 Like other settings in this section, these parameters can be expressed
