Dendrite 0.10.2

Features

• Dendrite will now fail to start if there is an obvious problem with the configured max_open_conns when using PostgreSQL database backends, since this can lead to instability and performance issues
  • More information on this is available in the documentation
• Unnecessary/empty fields will no longer be sent in /sync responses
• It is now possible to configure old_private_keys from previous Matrix installations on the same domain if only public key is known, to make it easier to expire old keys correctly
  • You can configure either just the private_key path, or you can supply both the public_key and key_id

Fixes

• The sync transaction behaviour has been modified further so that errors in one stream should not propagate to other streams unnecessarily
• Rooms should now be classified as DM rooms correctly by passing through is_direct and unsigned hints
• A bug which caused marking device lists as stale to consume lots of CPU has been fixed
• Users accepting invites should no longer cause unnecessary federated joins if there are already other local users in the room
• The sync API state range queries have been optimised by adding missing indexes
• It should now be possible to configure non-English languages for full-text search in search.language
• The roomserver will no longer attempt to perform federated requests to the local server when trying to fetch missing events
• The /keys/upload endpoint will now always return the one_time_keys_counts, which may help with E2EE reliability
• The sync API will now retrieve the latest stream position before processing each stream rather than at the beginning of the request, to hopefully reduce the number of round-trips to /sync
