Instead of hard-coding strings in many places.

Synapse 1.60.0rc2 (2022-05-27)
==============================

This release of Synapse adds a unique index to the `state_group_edges` table, in
order to prevent accidentally introducing duplicate information (for example,
because a database backup was restored multiple times). If your Synapse database
already has duplicate rows in this table, this could fail with an error and
require manual remediation.

Additionally, the signature of the `check_event_for_spam` module callback has changed.
The previous signature has been deprecated and remains working for now. Module authors
should update their modules to use the new signature where possible.

See [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1600)
for more details.

Features
--------

- Add an option allowing users to use their password to reauthenticate for privileged actions even though password login is disabled. ([\#12883](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12883))

Bugfixes
--------

- Explicitly close `ijson` coroutines once we are done with them, instead of leaving the garbage collector to close them. ([\#12875](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12875))

Internal Changes
----------------

- Improve URL previews by not including the content of media tags in the generated description. ([\#12887](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12887))

Hopefully this means that exceptions raised due to truncated JSON
get a sensible logging context and stack.

* Fix room deletion

ae7858f1 broke room deletion by attempting to delete the entry from `rooms`
before the tables that reference it.

* faster_joins: remove database rows on purge

My server is currently OOMing in the middle of have_seen_events, so let's try
to fix that.

Fix ambiguous column name that would prevent use of MSC2716 History Import when using Postgres as a database. (#12843)

Removes the unstable endpoint as well as a duplicated field
which was modified during stabilization.

Remote users will never have push actions, so we can avoid a database
round-trip/transaction completely.

* Refactor HTTP response size limits

Rather than passing a separate `max_response_size` down the stack, make it an
attribute of the `parser`.

* Allow bigger responses on `federation/v1/state`

`/state` can return huge responses, so we need to handle that.

Makes it so that groups/communities no longer exist from a user-POV. E.g. we remove:

* All API endpoints (including Client-Server, Server-Server, and admin).
* Documented configuration options (and the experimental flag, which is now unused).
* Special handling during room upgrades.
* The `groups` section of the `/sync` response.

By always returning all requested values from the function
wrapped by cachedList. Otherwise implicit None values get
added into the cache, which are unexpected.
