(#14981, #15002) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jan 31 23:13:24 UTC 2023 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de> - Update to 1.76.0 The 1.76 release is the first to enable faster joins (MSC3706 and MSC3902) by default. Admins can opt-out: see the upgrade notes for more details. The upgrade from 1.75 to 1.76 changes the account data replication streams in a backwards-incompatible manner. Server operators running a multi-worker deployment should consult the upgrade notes. Those who are poetry installing from source using our lockfile should ensure their poetry version is 1.3.2 or higher; see upgrade notes. Notes on faster joins The faster joins project sees the most benefit when joining a room with a large number of members (joined or historical). We expect it to be particularly useful for joining large public rooms like the Matrix HQ or Synapse Admins rooms. After a faster join, Synapse considers that room "partially joined". In this state, you should be able to - read incoming messages; - see incoming state changes, e.g. room topic changes; and - send messages, if the room is unencrypted. Synapse has to spend more effort to complete the join in the background. Once this finishes, you will be able to - send messages, if the room is in encrypted; - retrieve room history from before your join, if permitted by the room settings; and - access the full list of room members. - Features - Update the default room version to v10 (MSC 3904). Contributed by @FSG-Cat. (#14111) - Add a set_displayname() method to the module API for setting a user's display name. (#14629) - Add a dedicated listener configuration for health endpoint.

(#14787) - Per MSC3925, bundle the whole of the replacement with any edited events, and optionally inhibit server-side replacement. (#14811) - Faster joins: always serve a partial join response to servers that request it with the stable query param. (#14839) - Faster joins: allow non-lazy-loading ("eager") syncs to complete after a partial join by omitting partial state rooms until they become fully stated. (#14870) - Faster joins: request partial joins by default. Admins can opt-out of this for the time being---see the upgrade notes. (#14905) - Bugfixes - Faster joins: Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.69 where device list EDUs could fail to be handled after a restart when a faster join sync is in progress. (#14914) - Add index to improve performance of the /timestamp_to_event endpoint used for jumping to a specific date in the timeline of a room.

(#13713) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Aug 31 22:26:31 UTC 2022 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de> - Update to 1.66.0 This release removes the ability for homeservers to delegate email ownership verification and password reset confirmation to identity servers. This removal was originally planned for Synapse 1.64, but was later deferred until now. See the upgrade notes for more details. Deployments with multiple workers should note that the direct TCP replication configuration was deprecated in Synapse v1.18.0 and will be removed in Synapse v1.67.0. In particular, the TCP replication listener type (not to be confused with the replication resource on the http listener type) and the worker_replication_port config option will be removed . To migrate to Redis, add the redis config, then remove the TCP replication listener from config of the master and worker_replication_port from worker config. Note that a HTTP listener with a replication resource is still required. See the worker documentation for more details. - Features - Improve validation of request bodies for the following client-server API endpoints: /account/password, /account/password/email/requestToken, /account/deactivate and /account/3pid/email/requestToken.

Server administrators are encouraged to update Synapse as soon as possible. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild. Server administrators who are unable to update Synapse may use the workarounds described in the linked GitHub Security Advisory below. The following issue is fixed in 1.61.1. GHSA-22p3-qrh9-cx32 / CVE-2022-31052 Synapse instances with the url_preview_enabled homeserver config option set to true are affected. URL previews of some web pages can lead to unbounded recursion, causing the request to either fail, or in some cases crash the running Synapse process. Requesting URL previews requires authentication. Nevertheless, it is possible to exploit this maliciously, either by malicious users on the homeserver, or by remote users sending URLs that a local user's client may automatically request a URL preview for. Homeservers with the url_preview_enabled configuration option set to false (the default) are unaffected. Instances with the enable_media_repo configuration option set to false are also unaffected, as this also disables URL preview functionality. Fixed by fa1308061802ac7b7d20e954ba7372c5ac292333. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Jun 17 10:00:40 UTC 2022 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de> - force python 3.10 on TW ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jun 14 15:39:50 UTC 2022 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de> - update the dependencies - drop PyNaCL dependency as it is not longer needed - refreshed some of the version dependencies to use poetry.lock for version numbers instead of the pyproject.toml ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jun 14 15:37:21 UTC 2022 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de> - Update to 1.61.0 This release removes support for the non-standard feature known both as 'groups' and as 'communities', which have been superseded by Spaces. - Features - Add new media_retention options to the homeserver config for routinely cleaning up non-recently accessed media.

(#12925) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue May 31 16:57:15 UTC 2022 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de> - Update to 1.60.0 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 for more details. https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1600 - Features - Add an option allowing users to use their password to reauthenticate for privileged actions even though password login is disabled.

(#12701) - Update MSC2716 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) - Add a drop_federated_event callback to SpamChecker to disregard inbound federated events before they take up much processing power, in an emergency. (#12744) - Implement MSC3818: Copy room type on upgrade. (#12786, #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) - Bugfixes - Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.60.0rc1 that would break some imports from synapse.module_api. (#12918) - Explicitly close ijson coroutines once we are done with them, instead of leaving the garbage collector to close them.

If you would like to provide registration to anyone, consider adding email, recaptcha or token-based verification in order to prevent automated registration from bad actors. This check can be disabled by setting the enable_registration_without_verification option in your homeserver configuration file to true. More details are available in the upgrade notes. Synapse will additionally now refuse to start when using PostgreSQL with a non-C values for COLLATE and CTYPE, unless the config flag allow_unsafe_locale, found in the database section of the configuration file, is set to true.

(#11625) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Dec 14 14:29:19 UTC 2021 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de> - Update to 1.49.0 The wiki has been migrated to the documentation website We've decided to move the existing, somewhat stagnant pages from the GitHub wiki to the documentation website. This was done for two reasons. The first was to ensure that changes are checked by multiple authors before being committed (everyone makes mistakes!) and the second was visibility of the documentation. Not everyone knows that Synapse has some very useful information hidden away in its GitHub wiki pages. Bringing them to the documentation website should help with visibility, as well as keep all Synapse documentation in one, easily-searchable location. Note that contributions to the documentation website happen through GitHub pull requests. Please visit #synapse-dev:matrix.org if you need help with the process! - Features - Add MSC3030 experimental client and federation API endpoints to get the closest event to a given timestamp.

Server administrators are encouraged to update Synapse as soon as possible. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild. Server administrators who are unable to update Synapse may use the workarounds described in the linked GitHub Security Advisory below. - Security Advisory: GHSA-3hfw-x7gx-437c / CVE-2021-41281: Path traversal when downloading remote media. Synapse instances with the media repository enabled can be tricked into downloading a file from a remote server into an arbitrary directory, potentially outside the media store directory. The last two directories and file name of the path are chosen randomly by Synapse and cannot be controlled by an attacker, which limits the impact. Homeservers with the media repository disabled are unaffected. Homeservers configured with a federation whitelist are also unaffected. Fixed by 91f2bd090. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Nov 17 14:19:53 UTC 2021 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de> - Update to 1.47.0 - Deprecations and Removals - The user_may_create_room_with_invites module callback is now deprecated.

We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild. - Security advisory The following issues are fixed in v1.41.1. - GHSA-3x4c-pq33-4w3q / CVE-2021-39164: Enumerating a private room's list of members and their display names. If an unauthorized user both knows the Room ID of a private room and that room's history visibility is set to shared, then they may be able to enumerate the room's members, including their display names. The unauthorized user must be on the same homeserver as a user who is a member of the target room. Fixed by 52c7a51cf. - GHSA-jj53-8fmw-f2w2 / CVE-2021-39163: Disclosing a private room's name, avatar, topic, and number of members. If an unauthorized user knows the Room ID of a private room, then its name, avatar, topic, and number of members may be disclosed through Group / Community features. The unauthorized user must be on the same homeserver as a user who is a member of the target room, and their homeserver must allow non-administrators to create groups (enable_group_creation in the Synapse configuration; off by default). Fixed by cb35df940a, #10723. - Bugfixes - Fix a regression introduced in Synapse 1.41 which broke email transmission on systems using older versions of the Twisted library.

Synapse 1.37.1 processes inbound federation traffic asynchronously, ensuring that one busy room won't impact others. Please upgrade to Synapse 1.37.1 as soon as possible, in order to increase resilience to other traffic spikes. - Features - Handle inbound events from federation asynchronously. (#10269, #10272) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jun 29 10:44:06 UTC 2021 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de> - Update to 1.37.0 This release deprecates the current spam checker interface.

Which means: This is the last release which guarantees support for Python 3.5. We will end support for PostgreSQL 9.5 early next month. We will end support for Python 3.6 and PostgreSQL 9.6 near the end of the year. Crucially, this means we will not produce .deb packages for Debian 9 (Stretch) or Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) beyond the transition period described below. The website https://endoflife.date/ has convenient summaries of the support schedules for projects like Python and PostgreSQL. If you are unable to upgrade your environment to a supported version of Python or Postgres, we encourage you to consider using the Synapse Docker images instead. Transition Period We will make a good faith attempt to avoid breaking compatibility in all releases through the end of March 2021. However, critical security vulnerabilities in dependencies or other unanticipated circumstances may arise which necessitate breaking compatibility earlier. We intend to continue producing .deb packages for Debian 9 (Stretch) and Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) through the transition period. Removal warning The old Purge Room API and Shutdown Room API are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. They will be replaced by the Delete Room APIe POST /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>/delete replaces POST /_synapse/admin/v1/purge_room and POST /_synapse/admin/v1/shutdown_room/<room_id>. - Features - Add an admin API that lets server admins get power in rooms in which local users have power.

(#8386) - Fix a bug introduced in v1.20.0 which caused variables to be incorrectly escaped in Jinja2 templates. (#8394) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Sep 18 16:29:17 UTC 2020 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de> - Update to 1.20.0 - Removal warning - Some older clients used a disallowed character (:) in the client_secret parameter of various endpoints. The incorrect behaviour was allowed for backwards compatibility, but is now being removed from Synapse as most users have updated their client. Further context can be found at #6766. - Historically, the Synapse Admin API has been accessible under the prefixes: /_matrix/client/api/v1/admin, /_matrix/client/unstable/admin, /_matrix/client/r0/admin /_synapse/admin In a future release, we will be dropping support for accessing Synapse's Admin API using the /_matrix/client/* prefixes. This makes it easier for homeserver admins to lock down external access to the Admin API endpoints. - Features - Add flags to the /versions endpoint for whether new rooms default to using E2EE.

(#7558) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue May 19 14:54:57 UTC 2020 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de> - Update to 1.13.0 This release brings some potential changes necessary for certain configurations of Synapse: - If your Synapse is configured to use SSO and have a custom sso_redirect_confirm_template_dir configuration option set, you will need to duplicate the new sso_auth_confirm.html, sso_auth_success.html and sso_account_deactivated.html templates into that directory. - Synapse plugins using the complete_sso_login method of synapse.module_api.ModuleApi should instead switch to the async/await version, complete_sso_login_async, which includes additional checks. The former version is now deprecated. - A bug was introduced in Synapse 1.4.0 which could cause the room directory to be incomplete or empty if Synapse was upgraded directly from v1.2.1 or earlier, to versions between v1.4.0 and v1.12.x. Please review UPGRADE.rst for more details on these changes and for general upgrade guidance. For the complete list of changes please refer to https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/releases/tag/v1.13.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Apr 23 15:51:48 UTC 2020 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de> - Update to 1.12.4 - Features: - Always send users their own device updates.

Introduced in v1.11.0. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Mar 24 15:31:47 UTC 2020 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de> - use %requires_eq for runtime dependencies to make sure we always use the versions we built with. we ran into cases where the distro package was new enough according to the setup dependencies but those were not up2date with the actual code. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Mar 23 14:36:36 UTC 2020 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de> - Update to 1.12.0 Synapse may be vulnerable to request-smuggling attacks when it is used with a reverse-proxy. The vulnerabilties are fixed in Twisted 20.3.0, and are described in [CVE-2020-10108](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-10108) and [CVE-2020-10109](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-10109). For a good introduction to this class of request-smuggling attacks, see https://portswigger.net/research/http-desync-attacks-request-smuggling-reborn. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild, and do not believe that they are exploitable with current versions of any reverse proxies. Nevertheless, we recommend that all Synapse administrators ensure that they have the latest versions of the Twisted library to ensure that their installation remains secure. - Features - Changes related to room alias management ([MSC2432](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2432)): - Publishing/removing a room from the room directory now requires the user to have a power level capable of modifying the canonical alias, instead of the room aliases.

As of v1.1.0, Synapse no longer supports Python 2, nor Postgres version 9.4. Thus, we no longer package a Python 2 version of this package. Some other key changes include: * Add monthly active users to phonehome stats. * Allow server admins to define implementations of extra rules for allowing or denying incoming events. * Add --data-dir and --open-private-ports options. * The minimum TLS version used for outgoing federation requests can now be set with federation_client_minimum_tls_version. * Optimise devices changed query to not pull unnecessary rows from the database, reducing database load.

The Requires made it impossible to use matrix-synapse on openSUSE for very little good reason (prometheus metrics will still work on post-0.4.0 prometheus_client, but with changed names). Debian and many other distributions do the same here. + 0001-requirements-prometheus_client.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Jun 12 02:26:48 UTC 2019 - Aleksa Sarai <asarai@suse.com> - Update to 1.0.0. This is the first stable release of synapse. It includes a large number of changes but the highlights are: * Ability to configured default room version (with the default now being v4, which has improved state resolution algorithms and event IDs). * The complete removal of "perspectives" support, with all homeservers now being required to use valid TLS certificates (there has been a transition period for several months from the release of 0.99). * Experimental support for "relations" (reactions and edits). The full changelog is included in /usr/share/doc/packages/matrix-synapse/CHANGES.md. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri May 31 00:04:50 UTC 2019 - Aleksa Sarai <asarai@suse.com> - Update to 0.99.5.2. Fix bug where we leaked extremities when we soft failed events, leading to performance degradation. The full changelog is included in /usr/share/doc/packages/matrix-synapse/CHANGES.md. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue May 28 01:18:34 UTC 2019 - Aleksa Sarai <asarai@suse.com> - Rework testing to use a separate specfile for testing matrix-synapse. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu May 23 00:13:47 UTC 2019 - Aleksa Sarai <asarai@suse.com> - Update to 0.99.5.1.

This includes two security fixes: * Switch to using a cryptographically-secure random number generator for token strings, ensuring they cannot be predicted by an attacker. * Blacklist 0.0.0.0 and :: by default for URL previews. The full changelog is included in /usr/share/doc/packages/matrix-synapse/CHANGES.md. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Apr 14 18:35:48 UTC 2019 - Aleksa Sarai <asarai@suse.com> - Update to 0.99.3. The primary changes to previous versions are that self-signed certificates will no longer be generated, and instead LetsEncrypt certificates will be requested instead. Users are strongly recommended to update to this version, because pre-0.99 servers (using self-signed certificates and the perspectives system) will no longer be able to federate with post-1.0 servers.

This mitigates an attack where malicious events injected with depth = 2^63 - 1 render rooms unusable. Depth is used to determine the cosmetic ordering of events within a room, and so the ordering of events in such a room will default to using stream_ordering rather than depth (topological_ordering). This is a temporary solution to mitigate abuse in the wild, whilst a long term solution is being implemented to improve how the depth parameter is used.
