===========================
Debian packages and Docker images have been rebuilt using the latest versions of dependency libraries, including authlib 0.15.1. Please see bugfixes below.
Security advisory
-----------------
* HTML pages served via Synapse were vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS)
attacks. All server administrators are encouraged to upgrade.
([\#8444](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8444))
([CVE-2020-26891](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-26891))
This fix was originally included in v1.21.0 but was missing a security advisory.
This was reported by [Denis Kasak](https://github.com/dkasak).
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix rare bug where sending an event would fail due to a racey assertion. ([\#8530](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8530))

Synapse 1.21.1 (2020-10-13)
===========================
This release fixes a regression in v1.21.0 that prevented debian packages from being built.
It is otherwise identical to v1.21.0.
Synapse 1.21.0 (2020-10-12)
===========================
No significant changes since v1.21.0rc3.
As [noted in
v1.20.0](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.21.0/CHANGES.md#synapse-1200-2020-09-22),
a future release will drop support for accessing Synapse's
[Admin API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/docs/admin_api) under the
Andrew Morgan
committed
`/_matrix/client/*` endpoint prefixes. At that point, the Admin API will only
be accessible under `/_synapse/admin`.

Removal warning
---------------
Historically, the [Synapse Admin
API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/docs) has been
accessible under the `/_matrix/client/api/v1/admin`,
`/_matrix/client/unstable/admin`, `/_matrix/client/r0/admin` and
`/_synapse/admin` prefixes. In a future release, we will be dropping support
Andrew Morgan
committed
for accessing Synapse's Admin API using the `/_matrix/client/*` prefixes.
From that point, the Admin API will only be accessible under `/_synapse/admin`.
This makes it easier for homeserver admins to lock down external access to the
Admin API endpoints.

==============================
In addition to the below, Synapse 1.20.0rc5 also includes the bug fix that was included in 1.19.3.

Synapse 1.20.0rc4 (2020-09-16)
==============================
Synapse 1.20.0rc4 is identical to 1.20.0rc3, with the addition of the security fix that was included in 1.19.2.
Synapse 1.19.2 (2020-09-16)
===========================
Due to the issue below server admins are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible.

Some older clients used a [disallowed character](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#post-matrix-client-r0-register-email-requesttoken) (`:`) in the `client_secret` parameter of various endpoints. The incorrect behaviour was allowed for backwards compatibility, but is now being removed from Synapse as most users have updated their client.

Synapse 1.18.0 (2020-07-30)
===========================
Deprecation Warnings
--------------------
### Docker Tags with `-py3` Suffix
From 10th August 2020, we will no longer publish Docker images with the `-py3` tag suffix. The images tagged with the `-py3` suffix have been identical to the non-suffixed tags since release 0.99.0, and the suffix is obsolete.
On 10th August, we will remove the `latest-py3` tag. Existing per-release tags (such as `v1.18.0-py3`) will not be removed, but no new `-py3` tags will be added.
Scripts relying on the `-py3` suffix will need to be updated.
### TCP-based Replication
When setting up worker processes, we now recommend the use of a Redis server for replication. The old direct TCP connection method is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. See [docs/workers.md](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.18.0/docs/workers.md) for more details.
Improved Documentation

- Fix experimental support for moving typing off master when worker is restarted, which is broken in v1.18.0rc1. ([\#7967](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7967))
Internal Changes
----------------

Synapse 1.16.0 (2020-07-08)
===========================
No significant changes since 1.16.0rc2.
Note that this release deprecates the `m.login.jwt` login method, renaming it
to `org.matrix.login.jwt`, as `m.login.jwt` is not part of the Matrix spec.
Otherwise the behaviour is identical. Synapse will accept both names for now,
but this may change in a future release.
Synapse 1.16.0rc2 (2020-07-02)
==============================
Synapse 1.16.0rc2 includes the security fixes released with Synapse 1.15.2.
Please see [below](#synapse-1152-2020-07-02) for more details.
Improved Documentation
----------------------
- Update postgres image in example `docker-compose.yaml` to tag `12-alpine`. ([\#7696](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7696))
Internal Changes
----------------
- Add some metrics for inbound and outbound federation latencies: `synapse_federation_server_pdu_process_time` and `synapse_event_processing_lag_by_event`. ([\#7771](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7771))
Synapse 1.15.2 (2020-07-02)
===========================
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
-----------------
* A malicious homeserver could force Synapse to reset the state in a room to a
small subset of the correct state. This affects all Synapse deployments which
federate with untrusted servers. ([96e9afe6](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/96e9afe62500310977dc3cbc99a8d16d3d2fa15c))
* HTML pages served via Synapse were vulnerable to clickjacking attacks. This
predominantly affects homeservers with single-sign-on enabled, but all server
administrators are encouraged to upgrade. ([ea26e9a9](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/ea26e9a98b0541fc886a1cb826a38352b7599dbe))
This was reported by [Quentin Gliech](https://sandhose.fr/).

- Fixs a long standing bug which resulted in an exception: "TypeError: argument of type 'ObservableDeferred' is not iterable". ([\#7708](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7708))
