v1.81.0rc1

6d103373 · Update changelog · Apr 04, 2023

Synapse 1.81.0rc1 (2023-04-04)
==============================

Synapse now attempts the versioned appservice paths before falling back to the
[legacy paths](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.6/application-service-api/#legacy-routes).
Usage of the legacy routes should be considered deprecated.

Additionally, Synapse has supported sending the application service access token
via [the `Authorization` header](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.6/application-service-api/#authorization)
since v1.70.0. For backwards compatibility it is *also* sent as the `access_token`
query parameter. This is insecure and should be considered deprecated.

A future version of Synapse (v1.88.0 or later) will remove support for legacy
application service routes and query parameter authorization.

v1.76.0

eafdb12d · update changelog and upgrade notes · Jan 31, 2023

Synapse 1.76.0 (2023-01-31)
===========================

The 1.76 release is the first to enable faster joins ([MSC3706](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3706) and [MSC3902](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3902)) by default. Admins can opt-out: see [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.76/docs/upgrade.md#faster-joins-are-enabled-by-default) for more details.

The upgrade from 1.75 to 1.76 changes the account data replication streams in a backwards-incompatible manner. Server operators running a multi-worker deployment should consult [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.76/docs/upgrade.md#changes-to-the-account-data-replication-streams).

Those who are `poetry install`ing from source using our lockfile should ensure their poetry version is 1.3.2 or higher; [see upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.76/docs/upgrade.md#minimum-version-of-poetry-is-now-132).

Notes on faster joins
---------------------

The faster joins project sees the most benefit when joining a room with a large number of members (joined or historical). We expect it to be particularly useful for joining large public rooms like the [Matrix HQ](https://matrix.to/#/#matrix:matrix.org) or [Synapse Admins](https://matrix.to/#/#synapse:matrix.org) rooms.

After a faster join, Synapse considers that room "partially joined". In this state, you should be able to

- read incoming messages;
- see incoming state changes, e.g. room topic changes; and
- send messages, if the room is unencrypted.

Synapse has to spend more effort to complete the join in the background. Once this finishes, you will be able to

- send messages, if the room is in encrypted;
- retrieve room history from before your join, if permitted by the room settings; and
- access the full list of room members.

Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Describe the ideas and the internal machinery behind faster joins. ([\#14677](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14677))

- Add `.direnv/` directory to .gitignore to prevent local state generated by the [direnv](https://direnv.net/) development tool from being committed. ([\#14707](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14707))
- Batch up replication requests to request the resyncing of remote users's devices. ([\#14716](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14716))
- If debug logging is enabled, log the `msgid`s of any to-device messages that are returned over `/sync`. ([\#14724](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14724))
- Change GHA CI job to follow best practices. ([\#14772](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14772))
- Switch to our fork of `dh-virtualenv` to work around an upstream Python 3.11 incompatibility. ([\#14774](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14774))
