==============================
Synapse 1.59 makes several changes that server administrators should be aware of:
- Device name lookup over federation is now disabled by default. ([\#12616](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12616))
- The `synapse.app.appservice` and `synapse.app.user_dir` worker application types are now deprecated. ([\#12452](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12452), [\#12654](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12654))
See [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1590) for more details.
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](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12597))
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.58.0 where `/sync` would fail if the most recent event in a room was rejected. ([\#12729](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12729))

Synapse 1.59.0rc2 (2022-05-16)
==============================
Synapse 1.59 makes several changes that server administrators should be aware of:
- Device name lookup over federation is now disabled by default. ([\#12616](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12616))
- The `synapse.app.appservice` and `synapse.app.user_dir` worker application types are now deprecated. ([\#12452](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12452), [\#12654](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12654))
See [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1590) for more details.
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](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12597))
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.58.0 where `/sync` would fail if the most recent event in a room was rejected. ([\#12729](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12729))
Parse the `m.relates_to` event content field (which describes relations)
in a single place, this is used during:
* Event persistence.
* Validation of the Client-Server API.
* Fetching bundled aggregations.
* Processing of push rules.
Each of these separately implement the logic and each made slightly
different assumptions about what was valid. Some had minor / potential
bugs.
Refactor how the `EventContext` class works, with the intention of reducing the amount of state we fetch from the DB during event processing.
The idea here is to get rid of the cached `current_state_ids` and `prev_state_ids` that live in the `EventContext`, and instead defer straight to the database (and its caching).
One change that may have a noticeable effect is that we now no longer prefill the `get_current_state_ids` cache on a state change. However, that query is relatively light, since its just a case of reading a table from the DB (unlike fetching state at an event which is more heavyweight). For deployments with workers this cache isn't even used.
Part of #12684
* Add mau_appservice_trial_days
* Add a test
* Tweaks
* changelog
* Ensure we sync after the delay
* Fix types
* Add config statement
* Fix test
* Reinstate logging that got removed
* Fix feature name
* Changes hidden read receipts to be a separate receipt type
(instead of a field on `m.read`).
* Updates the `/receipts` endpoint to accept `m.fully_read`.
The `latest_event` field of the bundled aggregations for `m.thread` relations
did not include bundled aggregations itself. This resulted in clients needing to
immediately request the event from the server (and thus making it useless that
the latest event itself was serialized instead of just including an event ID).
I've seen a few errors which can only plausibly be explained by the calculated
event id for an event being different from the ID of the event in the
database. It should be cheap to check this, so let's do so and raise an
exception.
This works by taking a row level lock on the `rooms` table at the start of both transactions, ensuring that they don't run at the same time. In the event persistence transaction we also check that there is an entry still in the `rooms` table.
I can't figure out how to do this in SQLite. I was just going to lock the table, but it seems that we don't support that in SQLite either, so I'm *really* confused as to how we maintain integrity in SQLite when using `lock_table`....
Over time we've begun to use newer versions of mypy, typeshed, stub
packages---and of course we've improved our own annotations. This makes
some type ignore comments no longer necessary. I have removed them.
There was one exception: a module that imports `select.epoll`. The
ignore is redundant on Linux, but I've kept it ignored for those of us
who work on the source tree using not-Linux. (#11771)
I'm more interested in the config line which enforces this. I want
unused ignores to be reported, because I think it's useful feedback when
annotating to know when you've fixed a problem you had to previously
ignore.
* Installing extras before typechecking
Lacking an easy way to install all extras generically, let's bite the bullet and
make install the hand-maintained `all` extra before typechecking.
Now that https://github.com/matrix-org/backend-meta/pull/6 is merged to
the release/v1 branch.
Try to avoid an OOM by checking fewer extremities.
Generally this is a big rewrite of _maybe_backfill, to try and fix some of the TODOs and other problems in it. It's best reviewed commit-by-commit.
Multiple calls to `EventsWorkerStore._get_events_from_cache_or_db` can
reuse the same database fetch, which is initiated by the first call.
Ensure that cancelling the first call doesn't cancel the other calls
sharing the same database fetch.

This will mainly be useful when dealing with module callbacks, which are
all typed as returning `Awaitable`s instead of coroutines or
`Deferred`s.

When we join a room via the faster-joins mechanism, we end up with "partial
state" at some points on the event DAG. Many parts of the codebase need to
wait for the full state to load. So, we implement a mechanism to keep track of
which events have partial state, and wait for them to be fully-populated.
We work through all the events with partial state, updating the state at each
of them. Once it's done, we recalculate the state for the whole room, and then
mark the room as having complete state.
* Add some type hints to datastore
* newsfile
* change `Collection` to `List`
* refactor return type of `select_users_txn`
* correct type hint in `stream.py`
* Remove `Optional` in `select_users_txn`
* remove not needed return type in `__init__`
* Revert change in `get_stream_id_for_event_txn`
* Remove import from `Literal`
Consider the requester's ignored users when calculating the
bundled aggregations.
See #12285 / 4df10d3214
for corresponding changes for the `/relations` endpoint.
Of note:
* No untyped defs in `register_new_matrix_user`
This one might be contraversial. `request_registration` has three
dependency-injection arguments used for testing. I'm removing the
injection of the `requests` module and using `unitest.mock.patch` in the
test cases instead.
Doing `reveal_type(requests)` and `reveal_type(requests.get)` before the
change:
```

synapse/_scripts/register_new_matrix_user.py:46: note: Revealed type is "Any"
```
And after:

```
* Drive-by comment in `synapse.storage.types`
* No untyped defs in `synapse_port_db`
This was by far the most painful. I'm happy to break this up into
smaller pieces for review if it's not managable as-is.
Principally, `prometheus_client.REGISTRY.register` now requires its argument to
extend `prometheus_client.Collector`.
Additionally, `Gauge.set` is now annotated so that passing `Optional[int]`
causes an error.
Refactor and convert `Linearizer` to async. This makes a `Linearizer`
cancellation bug easier to fix.
Also refactor to use an async context manager, which eliminates an
unlikely footgun where code that doesn't immediately use the context
manager could forget to release the lock.

This is a first step in dealing with #7721.
The idea is basically that rather than calculating the full set of users a device list update needs to be sent to up front, we instead simply record the rooms the user was in at the time of the change. This will allow a few things:
1. we can defer calculating the set of remote servers that need to be poked about the change; and
2. during `/sync` and `/keys/changes` we can avoid also avoid calculating users who share rooms with other users, and instead just look at the rooms that have changed.
However, care needs to be taken to correctly handle server downgrades. As such this PR writes to both `device_lists_changes_in_room` and the `device_lists_outbound_pokes` table synchronously. In a future release we can then bump the database schema compat version to `69` and then we can assume that the new `device_lists_changes_in_room` exists and is handled.
There is a temporary option to disable writing to `device_lists_outbound_pokes` synchronously, allowing us to test the new code path does work (and by implication upgrading to a future release and downgrading to this one will work correctly).
Note: Ideally we'd do the calculation of room to servers on a worker (e.g. the background worker), but currently only master can write to the `device_list_outbound_pokes` table.
Switching to a sequence means there's no need to track `last_txn` on the
AS state table to generate new TXN IDs. This also means that there is
no longer contention between the AS scheduler and AS handler on updates
to the `application_services_state` table, which will prevent serialization
errors during the complete AS txn transaction.
It seems like calling `_get_state_group_for_events` for an event where the
state is unknown is an error. Accordingly, let's raise an exception rather than
silently returning an empty result.
If we're missing most of the events in the room state, then we may as well call the /state endpoint, instead of individually requesting each and every event.
The PaginationChunk class attempted to bundle some properties
together, but really just caused callers to jump through hoops and
hid implementation details.
This endpoint was removed from MSC2675 before it was approved.
It is currently unspecified (even in any MSCs) and therefore subject to
removal. It is not implemented by any known clients.
This also changes the bundled aggregation format for `m.annotation`,
which previously included pagination tokens for the `/aggregations`
endpoint, which are no longer useful.
Document the behaviour of `LoggingTransaction.call_after` and
`LoggingTransaction.call_on_exception` when transactions are retried.

When we are processing a `/backfill` request from a remote server, exclude any
outliers from consideration early on. We can't return outliers anyway (since we
don't know the state at the outlier), and filtering them out earlier means that
we won't attempt to calulate the state for them.
This should speed up push rule calculations for rooms with large numbers of local users when the main push rule cache fails.

We fetch the thread summary in two phases:
1. The summary that is shared by all users (count of messages and latest event).
2. Whether the requesting user has participated in the thread.
There's no use in attempting step 2 for events which did not return a summary
from step 1.

To handle cancellation, we ensure that `after_callback`s and
`exception_callback`s are always run, since the transaction will
complete on another thread regardless of cancellation.
We also wait until everything is done before releasing the
`CancelledError`, so that logging contexts won't get used after they
have been finished.

The unstable identifiers are still supported if the experimental configuration
flag is enabled. The unstable identifiers will be removed in a future release.
This is allowed per MSC2675, although the original implementation did
not allow for it and would return an empty chunk / not bundle aggregations.
The main thing to improve is that the various caches get cleared properly
when an event is redacted, and that edits must not leak if the original
event is redacted (as that would presumably leak something similar to
the original event content).
* `@cached` can now take an `uncached_args` which is an iterable of names to not use in the cache key.
* Requires `@cached`, @cachedList` and `@lru_cache` to use keyword arguments for clarity.
* Asserts that keyword-only arguments in cached functions are not accepted. (I tested this briefly and I don't believe this works properly.)
When we get a partial_state response from send_join, store information in the
database about it:
* store a record about the room as a whole having partial state, and stash the
list of member servers too.
* flag the join event itself as having partial state
* also, for any new events whose prev-events are partial-stated, note that
they will *also* be partial-stated.
We don't yet make any attempt to interpret this data, so API calls (and a bunch
of other things) are just going to get incorrect data.
Don't attempt to add non-string `value`s to `event_search` and add a
background update to clear out bad rows from `event_search` when
using sqlite.

For users with large accounts it is inefficient to calculate the set of
users they share a room with (and takes a lot of space in the cache).
Instead we can look at users whose devices have changed since the last
sync and check if they share a room with the syncing user.
When the server leaves a room the `get_rooms_for_user` cache is not
correctly invalidated for the remote users in the room. This means that
subsequent calls to `get_rooms_for_user` for the remote users would
incorrectly include the room (it shouldn't be included because the
server no longer knows anything about the room).
Splits the search code into a few logical functions instead of a single
unreadable function.
There are also a few additional changes for readability.
After refactoring it was clear to see there were some unused and
unnecessary variables, which were simplified.
If the latest event in a thread was edited than the original
event content was included in bundled aggregation for
threads instead of the edited event content.
* Make `get_auth_chain_ids` return a Set
It has a set internally, and a set is often useful where it gets used, so let's
avoid converting to an intermediate list.
* Minor refactors in `on_send_join_request`
A little bit of non-functional groundwork
* Implement MSC3706: partial state in /send_join response
This should reduce database usage when fetching bundled aggregations
as the number of individual queries (and round trips to the database) are
reduced.
If ther are more than 100 to-device messages pending for a device
`/sync` will only return the first 100, however the next batch token was
incorrectly calculated and so all other pending messages would be
dropped.
This is due to `txn.rowcount` only returning the number of rows that
*changed*, rather than the number *selected* in SQLite.
This should reduce database usage when fetching bundled aggregations
as the number of individual queries (and round trips to the database) are
reduced.
The get_users_in_room and get_users_in_room_with_profiles
are now only invalidated when the membership of a room changes,
instead of during any state change in the room.
* Include 'prev_content' field in AS events

This is some odds and ends found during the review of #11791
and while continuing to work in this code:
* Return attrs classes instead of dictionaries from some methods
to improve type safety.
* Call `get_bundled_aggregations` fewer times.
* Adds a missing assertion in the tests.
* Do not return empty bundled aggregations for an event (preferring
to not include the bundle at all, as the docstring states).

Debug for #8631.
I'm having a hard time tracking down what's going wrong in that issue.
In the reported example, I could see server A sending federation traffic
to server B and all was well. Yet B reports out-of-sync device updates
from A.
I couldn't see what was _in_ the events being sent from A to B. So I
have added some crude logging to track
- when we have updates to send to a remote HS
- the edus we actually accumulate to send
- when a federation transaction includes a device list update edu
- when such an EDU is received
This is a bit of a sledgehammer.
I've never found this terribly useful. I think it was added in the early days
of Synapse, without much thought as to what would actually be useful to log,
and has just been cargo-culted ever since.
Rather, it tends to clutter up debug logs with useless information.
Always add state.room_id after the configurable ORDER BY. Otherwise,
for any sort, certain pages can contain results from
other pages. (Especially when sorting by creator, since there may
be many rooms by the same creator)
* Document different order direction of numerical fields
"joined_members", "joined_local_members", "version" and "state_events"

in tests to explain the differences in ordering.

This makes the serialization of events synchronous (and it no
longer access the database), but we must manually calculate and
provide the bundled aggregations.
Overall this should cause no change in behavior, but is prep work
for other improvements.
* Push `get_room_{min,max_stream_ordering}` into StreamStore
Both implementations of this are identical, so we may as well push it down and
get rid of the abstract base class nonsense.
* Remove redundant `StreamStore` class
This is empty now
* Remove redundant `get_current_events_token`
This was an exact duplicate of `get_room_max_stream_ordering`, so let's get rid
of it.
* newsfile
A couple of safety-checks to hopefully stop people doing what I just did, and create a storage
function which only works the first time it is called (and not when it is re-run due to a database
concurrency error or similar).
Create a new dict helper method `simple_insert_many_values_txn`, which takes
raw row values, rather than {key=>value} dicts. This saves us a bunch of dict
munging, and makes it easier to use generators rather than creating
intermediate lists and dicts.
This mainly consists of docstrings and inline comments. There are one or two type annotations and variable renames thrown in while I was here.

Part of https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11300
Call stack:
- `_persist_events_and_state_updates` (added `use_negative_stream_ordering`)
- `_persist_events_txn`
- `_update_room_depths_txn` (added `update_room_forward_stream_ordering`)
- `_update_metadata_tables_txn`
- `_store_room_members_txn` (added `inhibit_local_membership_updates`)
Using keyword-only arguments (`*`) to reduce the mistakes from `backfilled` being left as a positional argument somewhere and being interpreted wrong by our new arguments.
The previous fix for the ongoing event fetches counter
(8eec25a1d9) was both insufficient and
incorrect.
When the database is unreachable, `_do_fetch` never gets run and so
`_event_fetch_ongoing` is never decremented.
The previous fix also moved the `_event_fetch_ongoing` decrement outside
of the `_event_fetch_lock` which allowed race conditions to corrupt the
counter.
