Looks straightforward and fairly sane. Has multiple implementations. I don't see any reason for this not to move forward, so

Team member @mscbot has proposed to merge this. The next step is review by the rest of the tagged people:

Concerns:

  • Security considerations not made
  • M_EXCLUSIVE error code is unclear on usage
  • Why shouldn't we use /register

Once at least 75% of reviewers approve (and there are no outstanding concerns), this will enter its final comment period. If you spot a major issue that hasn't been raised at any point in this process, please speak up!

See this document for information about what commands tagged team members can give me.

Synapse 1.48.0 (2021-11-30)
===========================

This release removes support for the long-deprecated `trust_identity_server_for_password_resets` configuration flag.

This release also fixes some performance issues with some background database updates introduced in Synapse 1.47.0.

No significant changes since 1.48.0rc1.

Synapse 1.48.0rc1 (2021-11-25)
==============================

Features
--------

- Experimental support for the thread relation defined in [MSC3440](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3440). ([\#11161](matrix-org/synapse#11161))
- Support filtering by relation senders & types per [MSC3440](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3440). ([\#11236](matrix-org/synapse#11236))
- Add support for the `/_matrix/client/v3` and `/_matrix/media/v3` APIs from Matrix v1.1. ([\#11318](matrix-org/synapse#11318), [\#11371](matrix-org/synapse#11371))
- Support the stable version of [MSC2778](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2778): the `m.login.application_service` login type. Contributed by @tulir. ([\#11335](matrix-org/synapse#11335))
- Add a new version of delete room admin API `DELETE /_synapse/admin/v2/rooms/<room_id>` to run it in the background. Contributed by @dklimpel. ([\#11223](matrix-org/synapse#11223))
- Allow the admin [Delete Room API](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/admin_api/rooms.html#delete-room-api) to block a room without the need to join it. ([\#11228](matrix-org/synapse#11228))
- Add an admin API to un-shadow-ban a user. ([\#11347](matrix-org/synapse#11347))
- Add an admin API to run background database schema updates. ([\#11352](matrix-org/synapse#11352))
- Add an admin API for blocking a room. ([\#11324](matrix-org/synapse#11324))
- Update the JWT login type to support custom a `sub` claim. ([\#11361](matrix-org/synapse#11361))
- Store and allow querying of arbitrary event relations. ([\#11391](matrix-org/synapse#11391))

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a long-standing bug wherein display names or avatar URLs containing null bytes cause an internal server error when stored in the DB. ([\#11230](matrix-org/synapse#11230))
- Prevent [MSC2716](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2716) historical state events from being pushed to an application service via `/transactions`. ([\#11265](matrix-org/synapse#11265))
- Fix a long-standing bug where uploading extremely thin images (e.g. 1000x1) would fail. Contributed by @Neeeflix. ([\#11288](matrix-org/synapse#11288))
- Fix a bug, introduced in Synapse 1.46.0, which caused the `check_3pid_auth` and `on_logged_out` callbacks in legacy password authentication provider modules to not be registered. Modules using the generic module interface were not affected. ([\#11340](matrix-org/synapse#11340))
- Fix a bug introduced in 1.41.0 where space hierarchy responses would be incorrectly reused if multiple users were to make the same request at the same time. ([\#11355](matrix-org/synapse#11355))

- Improve performance of various background database updates. ([\#11421](matrix-org/synapse#11421), [\#11422](matrix-org/synapse#11422))

Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Suggest users of the Debian packages add configuration to `/etc/matrix-synapse/conf.d/` to prevent, upon upgrade, being asked to choose between their configuration and the maintainer's. ([\#11281](matrix-org/synapse#11281))
- Fix typos in the documentation for the `username_available` admin API. Contributed by Stanislav Motylkov. ([\#11286](matrix-org/synapse#11286))

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

This release makes several changes that server administrators should be aware of:

- Device name lookup over federation is now disabled by default. ([\#12616](#12616))
- The `synapse.app.appservice` and `synapse.app.user_dir` worker application types are now deprecated. ([\#12452](#12452), [\#12654](#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](#12597))

Features
--------

- Support [MSC3266](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3266) room summaries over federation. ([\#11507](#11507))

Upstream NEWS, less bugfixes and minor improvements:

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)
