fwiw, the 403 specific code in the angular webclient was: 76005c4#diff-c8b675bd9d60a175af18a21119c41f91R49 Looks like someone fixed it anyway along the way, given the most recent release doesn't have it any more: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-angular-sdk/blob/master/syweb/webclient/app/app.js#L95 So i suspect we're okay for that client. However, I'd still be worried about breaking others; we'd want to yell about this change clearly in the next RC. I'd also caution against blindly assuming that the spec is correct on all things - sometimes the spec is wrong and synapse has it right; this stuff has to be addressed on a case by case basis. Thanks for looking at this and providing a fix! |

ohh, well this is going to be fun. I agree that this needs fixing, but it's bound to break something out there. oh well, nothing ventured.... |

Hum, having merged this, I now realise: we need to shout about it before deploying it to matrix.org, which may well be sooner than the next RC. |

Changes in synapse v0.29.1 (2018-05-17) ========================================== Changes: * Update docker documentation (PR #3222) Changes in synapse v0.29.0 (2018-05-16) =========================================== Not changes since v0.29.0-rc1 Changes in synapse v0.29.0-rc1 (2018-05-14) =========================================== Notable changes, a docker file for running Synapse (Thanks to @kaiyou!) and a closed spec bug in the Client Server API. Additionally further prep for Python 3 migration. Potentially breaking change: * Make Client-Server API return 401 for invalid token (PR #3161). This changes the Client-server spec to return a 401 error code instead of 403 when the access token is unrecognised. This is the behaviour required by the specification, but some clients may be relying on the old, incorrect behaviour. Thanks to @NotAFile for fixing this. Features: * Add a Dockerfile for synapse (PR #2846) Thanks to @kaiyou! Changes - General: * nuke-room-from-db.sh: added postgresql option and help (PR #2337) Thanks to @rubo77! * Part user from rooms on account deactivate (PR #3201) * Make 'unexpected logging context' into warnings (PR #3007) * Set Server header in SynapseRequest (PR #3208) * remove duplicates from groups tables (PR #3129) * Improve exception handling for background processes (PR #3138) * Add missing consumeErrors to improve exception handling (PR #3139) * reraise exceptions more carefully (PR #3142) * Remove redundant call to preserve_fn (PR #3143) * Trap exceptions thrown within run_in_background (PR #3144) Changes - Refactors: * Refactor /context to reuse pagination storage functions (PR #3193) * Refactor recent events func to use pagination func (PR #3195) * Refactor pagination DB API to return concrete type (PR #3196) * Refactor get_recent_events_for_room return type (PR #3198) * Refactor sync APIs to reuse pagination API (PR #3199) * Remove unused code path from member change DB func (PR #3200) * Refactor request handling wrappers (PR #3203) * transaction_id, destination defined twice (PR #3209) Thanks to @damir-manapov! * Refactor event storage to prepare for changes in state calculations (PR #3141) * Set Server header in SynapseRequest (PR #3208) * Use deferred.addTimeout instead of time_bound_deferred (PR #3127, #3178) * Use run_in_background in preference to preserve_fn (PR #3140) Changes - Python 3 migration: * Construct HMAC as bytes on py3 (PR #3156) Thanks to @NotAFile! * run config tests on py3 (PR #3159) Thanks to @NotAFile! * Open certificate files as bytes (PR #3084) Thanks to @NotAFile! * Open config file in non-bytes mode (PR #3085) Thanks to @NotAFile! * Make event properties raise AttributeError instead (PR #3102) Thanks to @NotAFile! * Use six.moves.urlparse (PR #3108) Thanks to @NotAFile! * Add py3 tests to tox with folders that work (PR #3145) Thanks to @NotAFile! * Don't yield in list comprehensions (PR #3150) Thanks to @NotAFile! * Move more xrange to six (PR #3151) Thanks to @NotAFile! * make imports local (PR #3152) Thanks to @NotAFile! * move httplib import to six (PR #3153) Thanks to @NotAFile! * Replace stringIO imports with six (PR #3154, #3168) Thanks to @NotAFile! * more bytes strings (PR #3155) Thanks to @NotAFile! Bug Fixes: * synapse fails to start under Twisted >= 18.4 (PR #3157) * Fix a class of logcontext leaks (PR #3170) * Fix a couple of logcontext leaks in unit tests (PR #3172) * Fix logcontext leak in media repo (PR #3174) * Escape label values in prometheus metrics (PR #3175, #3186) * Fix 'Unhandled Error' logs with Twisted 18.4 (PR #3182) Thanks to @Half-Shot! * Fix logcontext leaks in rate limiter (PR #3183) * notifications: Convert next_token to string according to the spec (PR #3190) Thanks to @mujx! * nuke-room-from-db.sh: fix deletion from search table (PR #3194) Thanks to @rubo77! * add guard for None on purge_history api (PR #3160) Thanks to @krombel!

This closes #2602
v1auth was created to account for the differences in status code between
the v1 and v2_alpha revisions of the protocol (401 vs 403 for invalid
tokens). However since those protocols were merged, this makes the r0
version/endpoint internally inconsistent, and violates the
specification for the r0 endpoint.
This might break clients that rely on this inconsistency with the
specification. This is said to affect the legacy angular reference
client. However, I feel that restoring parity with the spec is more
important. Either way, it is critical to inform developers about this
change, in case they rely on the illegal behaviour.
