This simplifies the access token verification logic by removing the `rights`
parameter which was only ever used for the unsubscribe link in email
notifications. The latter has been moved under the `/_synapse` namespace,
since it is not a standard API.
This also makes the email verification link more secure, by embedding the
app_id and pushkey in the macaroon and verifying it. This prevents the user
from tampering the query parameters of that unsubscribe link.
Macaroon generation is refactored:
- Centralised all macaroon generation and verification logic to the
`MacaroonGenerator`
- Moved to `synapse.utils`
- Changed the constructor to require only a `Clock`, hostname, and a secret key
(instead of a full `Homeserver`).
- Added tests for all methods.
Instead, use the `room_version` property of the event we're checking.
The `room_version` was originally added as a parameter somewhere around #4482,
but really it's been redundant since #6875 added a `room_version` field to `EventBase`.
In practice, when we run the auth rules, all of the events have the right room
version. Let's stop building Room V1 events for these tests and use the right
version.
The `room_id` field was removed from MSC2946 before
it was accepted. It was initially kept for backwards compatibility
and should be removed now that the stable form of the API
is used.
This change only stops Synapse from validating that it is returned,
a future PR will remove returning it as part of the response.
By always using delete_devices and sometimes passing a list
with a single device ID.
Previously these methods had gotten out of sync with each
other and it seems there's little benefit to the single-device
variant.
* Update worker docs to remove group endpoints.
* Removes an unused parameter to `ApplicationService`.
* Break dependency between media repo and groups.
* Avoid copying `m.room.related_groups` state events during room upgrades.
==============================
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))

* 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.
Implements the following behind an experimental configuration flag:
* A new push rule kind for mutually related events.
* A new default push rule (`.m.rule.thread_reply`) under an unstable prefix.
This is missing part of MSC3772:
* The `.m.rule.thread_reply_to_me` push rule, this depends on MSC3664 / #11804.
The main differences are:
- values with delimiters (such as colons) should be quoted, so always
quote the origin, since it could contain a colon followed by a port
number
- should allow more than one space after "X-Matrix"
- quoted values with backslash-escaped characters should be unescaped
- names should be case insensitive
