Marker events as state, see matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2716 (comment) and matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2716 (comment)

Part of MSC2716

Complement tests: matrix-org/complement#371

Sending marker events as state now so they are always able to be seen by homeservers (not lost in some timeline gap).

When someone joins a room, process all of the marker events we see in the current state. Marker events should be sent with a unique state_key so that they can all resolve in the current state to easily be discovered. Marker events as state

  • If we re-use the same state_key (like ""), then we would have to fetch previous snapshots of state up through time to find all of the marker events. This way we can avoid all of that. This PR was originally doing this but then thought of the smarter way to tackle in an out of band discussion with @erikjohnston.
  • Also avoids state resolution conflicts where only one of the marker events win

As a homeserver, when we see new marker state, we know there is new history imported somewhere back in time and should process it to fetch the insertion event where the historical messages are and set it as an insertion extremity. This way we know where to backfill more messages when someone asks for scrollback.

Synapse changes: matrix-org/synapse#12718

Part of MSC2716: matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2716

We're testing to make sure historical messages show up for a remote federated homeserver even when the homeserver is missing the part of the timeline where the marker events were sent and it paginates before they occurred to see if the history is available. Making sure the homeserver processes all of the markers from the current state instead of just when it sees them in the timeline.

Sending marker events as state now so they are always able to be seen by homeservers (not lost in some timeline gap).

Marker events should be sent with a unique `state_key` so that they can all resolve in the current state to easily be discovered.

 - If we re-use the same `state_key` (like `""`), then we would have to fetch previous snapshots of state up through time to find all of the marker events. This way we can avoid all of that.
 - Also avoids state resolution conflicts where only one of the marker events win

As a homeserver, when we see new marker state, we know there is new history imported somewhere back in time and should process it to fetch the insertion event where the historical messages are and set it as an insertion extremity. This way we know where to backfill more messages when someone asks for scrollback.

Also includes `paginateUntilMessageCheckOff` from

Synapse 1.60.0rc1 (2022-05-24)
==============================

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
--------

- Measure the time taken in spam-checking callbacks and expose those measurements as metrics. ([\#12513](#12513))
- Add a `default_power_level_content_override` config option to set default room power levels per room preset. ([\#12618](#12618))
- Add support for [MSC3787: Allowing knocks to restricted rooms](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3787). ([\#12623](#12623))
- Send `USER_IP` commands on a different Redis channel, in order to reduce traffic to workers that do not process these commands. ([\#12672](#12672), [\#12809](#12809))
- Synapse will now reload [cache config](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#caching) when it receives a [SIGHUP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIGHUP) signal. ([\#12673](#12673))
- Add a config options to allow for auto-tuning of caches. ([\#12701](#12701))
- Update [MSC2716](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2716) implementation to process marker events from the current state to avoid markers being lost in timeline gaps for federated servers which would cause the imported history to be undiscovered. ([\#12718](#12718))
- Add a `drop_federated_event` callback to `SpamChecker` to disregard inbound federated events before they take up much processing power, in an emergency. ([\#12744](#12744))
- Implement [MSC3818: Copy room type on upgrade](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3818). ([\#12786](#12786), [\#12792](#12792))
- Update to the `check_event_for_spam` module callback. Deprecate the current callback signature, replace it with a new signature that is both less ambiguous (replacing booleans with explicit allow/block) and more powerful (ability to return explicit error codes). ([\#12808](#12808))

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.7.0 that would prevent events from being sent to clients if there's a retention policy in the room when the support for retention policies is disabled. ([\#12611](#12611))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.57.0 where `/messages` would throw a 500 error when querying for a non-existent room. ([\#12683](#12683))
- Add a unique index to `state_group_edges` to prevent duplicates being accidentally introduced and the consequential impact to performance. ([\#12687](#12687))
- Fix a long-standing bug where an empty room would be created when a user with an insufficient power level tried to upgrade a room. ([\#12696](#12696))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.30.0 where empty rooms could be automatically created if a monthly active users limit is set. ([\#12713](#12713))
- Fix push to dismiss notifications when read on another client. Contributed by @SpiritCroc @ Beeper. ([\#12721](#12721))
- Fix poor database performance when reading the cache invalidation stream for large servers with lots of workers. ([\#12747](#12747))
- Delete events from the `federation_inbound_events_staging` table when a room is purged through the admin API. ([\#12770](#12770))
- Give a meaningful error message when a client tries to create a room with an invalid alias localpart. ([\#12779](#12779))
- Fix a bug introduced in 1.43.0 where a file (`providers.json`) was never closed. Contributed by @arkamar. ([\#12794](#12794))
- Fix a long-standing bug where finished log contexts would be re-started when failing to contact remote homeservers. ([\#12803](#12803))
- Fix a bug, introduced in Synapse 1.21.0, that led to media thumbnails being unusable before the index has been added in the background. ([\#12823](#12823))

Synapse 1.61.0 (2022-06-14)
===========================

This release removes support for the non-standard feature known both as 'groups' and as 'communities', which have been superseded by *Spaces*.

Synapse 1.61.0rc1 (2022-06-07)
==============================

Features
--------

- Add new `media_retention` options to the homeserver config for routinely cleaning up non-recently accessed media. ([\#12732](matrix-org/synapse#12732), [\#12972](matrix-org/synapse#12972), [\#12977](matrix-org/synapse#12977))
- Experimental support for [MSC3772](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3772): Push rule for mutually related events. ([\#12740](matrix-org/synapse#12740), [\#12859](matrix-org/synapse#12859))
- Update to the `check_event_for_spam` module callback: Deprecate the current callback signature, replace it with a new signature that is both less ambiguous (replacing booleans with explicit allow/block) and more powerful (ability to return explicit error codes). ([\#12808](matrix-org/synapse#12808))
- Add storage and module API methods to get monthly active users (and their corresponding appservices) within an optionally specified time range. ([\#12838](matrix-org/synapse#12838), [\#12917](matrix-org/synapse#12917))
- Support the new error code `ORG.MATRIX.MSC3823.USER_ACCOUNT_SUSPENDED` from [MSC3823](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3823). ([\#12845](matrix-org/synapse#12845), [\#12923](matrix-org/synapse#12923))
- Add a configurable background job to delete stale devices. ([\#12855](matrix-org/synapse#12855))
- Allow updating a user's password using the admin API without logging out their devices. Contributed by @jcgruenhage. ([\#12952](matrix-org/synapse#12952))


Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- Remove support for the non-standard groups/communities feature from Synapse. ([\#12553](matrix-org/synapse#12553), [\#12558](matrix-org/synapse#12558), [\#12563](matrix-org/synapse#12563), [\#12895](matrix-org/synapse#12895), [\#12897](matrix-org/synapse#12897), [\#12899](matrix-org/synapse#12899), [\#12900](matrix-org/synapse#12900), [\#12936](matrix-org/synapse#12936), [\#12966](matrix-org/synapse#12966))
- Remove contributed `kick_users.py` script. This is broken under Python 3, and is not added to the environment when `pip install`ing Synapse. ([\#12908](matrix-org/synapse#12908))



Synapse 1.60.0 (2022-05-31)
===========================

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.


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

Features
--------

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


Synapse 1.60.0rc1 (2022-05-24)
==============================

Features
--------

- Measure the time taken in spam-checking callbacks and expose those measurements as metrics. ([\#12513](matrix-org/synapse#12513))
- Add a `default_power_level_content_override` config option to set default room power levels per room preset. ([\#12618](matrix-org/synapse#12618))
- Add support for [MSC3787: Allowing knocks to restricted rooms](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3787). ([\#12623](matrix-org/synapse#12623))
- Send `USER_IP` commands on a different Redis channel, in order to reduce traffic to workers that do not process these commands. ([\#12672](matrix-org/synapse#12672), [\#12809](matrix-org/synapse#12809))
- Synapse will now reload [cache config](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#caching) when it receives a [SIGHUP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIGHUP) signal. ([\#12673](matrix-org/synapse#12673))
- Add a config options to allow for auto-tuning of caches. ([\#12701](matrix-org/synapse#12701))
- Update [MSC2716](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2716) implementation to process marker events from the current state to avoid markers being lost in timeline gaps for federated servers which would cause the imported history to be undiscovered. ([\#12718](matrix-org/synapse#12718))
- Add a `drop_federated_event` callback to `SpamChecker` to disregard inbound federated events before they take up much processing power, in an emergency. ([\#12744](matrix-org/synapse#12744))
- Implement [MSC3818: Copy room type on upgrade](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3818). ([\#12786](matrix-org/synapse#12786), [\#12792](matrix-org/synapse#12792))
- Update to the `check_event_for_spam` module callback. Deprecate the current callback signature, replace it with a new signature that is both less ambiguous (replacing booleans with explicit allow/block) and more powerful (ability to return explicit error codes). ([\#12808](matrix-org/synapse#12808))


Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- Require a body in POST requests to `/rooms/{roomId}/receipt/{receiptType}/{eventId}`, as required by the [Matrix specification](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.2/client-server-api/#post_matrixclientv3roomsroomidreceiptreceipttypeeventid). This breaks compatibility with Element Android 1.2.0 and earlier: users of those clients will be unable to send read receipts. ([\#12709](matrix-org/synapse#12709))



Synapse 1.59.1 (2022-05-18)
===========================

This release fixes a long-standing issue which could prevent Synapse's user directory for updating properly.


Synapse 1.59.0 (2022-05-17)
===========================

Synapse 1.59 makes several changes that server administrators should be aware of:

- Device name lookup over federation is now disabled by default. ([\#12616](matrix-org/synapse#12616))
- The `synapse.app.appservice` and `synapse.app.user_dir` worker application types are now deprecated. ([\#12452](matrix-org/synapse#12452), [\#12654](matrix-org/synapse#12654))

Additionally, this release removes the non-standard `m.login.jwt` login type from Synapse. It can be replaced with `org.matrix.login.jwt` for identical behaviour. This is only used if `jwt_config.enabled` is set to `true` in the configuration. ([\#12597](matrix-org/synapse#12597))


Synapse 1.59.0rc2 (2022-05-16)
==============================


Synapse 1.59.0rc1 (2022-05-10)
==============================

Features
--------

- Support [MSC3266](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3266) room summaries over federation. ([\#11507](matrix-org/synapse#11507))
- Implement [changes](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals@4a77139) to [MSC2285 (hidden read receipts)](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2285). Contributed by @SimonBrandner. ([\#12168](matrix-org/synapse#12168), [\#12635](matrix-org/synapse#12635), [\#12636](matrix-org/synapse#12636), [\#12670](matrix-org/synapse#12670))
- Extend the [module API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.59/synapse/module_api/__init__.py) to allow modules to change actions for existing push rules of local users. ([\#12406](matrix-org/synapse#12406))
- Add the `notify_appservices_from_worker` configuration option (superseding `notify_appservices`) to allow a generic worker to be designated as the worker to send traffic to Application Services. ([\#12452](matrix-org/synapse#12452))
- Add the `update_user_directory_from_worker` configuration option (superseding `update_user_directory`) to allow a generic worker to be designated as the worker to update the user directory. ([\#12654](matrix-org/synapse#12654))
- Add new `enable_registration_token_3pid_bypass` configuration option to allow registrations via token as an alternative to verifying a 3pid. ([\#12526](matrix-org/synapse#12526))
- Implement [MSC3786](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3786): Add a default push rule to ignore `m.room.server_acl` events. ([\#12601](matrix-org/synapse#12601))
- Add new `mau_appservice_trial_days` configuration option to specify a different trial period for users registered via an appservice. ([\#12619](matrix-org/synapse#12619))


Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- Remove unstable identifiers from [MSC3069](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3069). ([\#12596](matrix-org/synapse#12596))
- Remove the unspecified `m.login.jwt` login type and the unstable `uk.half-shot.msc2778.login.application_service` from
  [MSC2778](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2778). ([\#12597](matrix-org/synapse#12597))
- Synapse now requires at least Python 3.7.1 (up from 3.7.0), for compatibility with the latest Twisted trunk. ([\#12613](matrix-org/synapse#12613))
