* Request partial joins by default
This is a little sloppy, but we are trying to gain confidence in faster
joins in the upcoming RC.
Admins can still opt out by adding the following to their Synapse
config:
```yaml
experimental:
faster_joins: false
```
We may revert this change before the release proper, depending on how
testing in the wild goes.
* Changelog
* Try to fix the backfill test failures
* Upgrade notes
* Postgres compat?
Serving partial join responses is no longer experimental. They will only be served under the stable identifier if the the undocumented config flag experimental.msc3706_enabled is set to true.
Synapse continues to request a partial join only if the undocumented config flag experimental.faster_joins is set to true; this setting remains present and unaffected.
Two parts to this:
* Bundle the whole of the replacement with any edited events. This is backwards-compatible so I haven't put it behind a flag.
* Optionally, inhibit server-side replacement of edited events. This has scope to break things, so it is currently disabled by default.
* Add support for MSC3931: Room Version Supports push rule condition
* Create experimental flag for future work, and use it to gate MSC3931
* Changelog entry
Stabilize the threads API (MSC3856) by supporting (only) the v1
path for the endpoint.
This also marks the API as safe for workers since it is a read-only
API.
Implement the /threads endpoint from MSC3856.
This is currently unstable and behind an experimental configuration
flag.
It includes a background update to backfill data, results from
the /threads endpoint will be partial until that finishes.
When retrieving counts of notifications segment the results based on the
thread ID, but choose whether to return them as individual threads or as
a single summed field by letting the client opt-in via a sync flag.
The summarization code is also updated to be per thread, instead of per
room.
This avoids doing work that will never be used (since the
resulting unread counts will never be sent in a /sync
response).
The negative of doing this is that unread counts will be
incorrect when the feature is initially enabled.
This adds support for the stable identifiers of MSC2285 while
continuing to support the unstable identifiers behind the configuration
flag. These will be removed in a future version.
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.
* 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
