Merge tag 'v1.56.0' into babolivier/dinsic_1.58

Synapse 1.56.0 (2022-04-05)
===========================

Synapse will now refuse to start up if open registration is enabled, in order to help mitigate
abuse across the federation. If you would like
to provide registration to anyone, consider adding [email](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/8a519f8abc6de772167c2cca101d22ee2052fafc/docs/sample_config.yaml#L1285),
[recaptcha](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/CAPTCHA_SETUP.html)
or [token-based](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/usage/administration/admin_api/registration_tokens.html) 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](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/upgrade.html#open-registration-without-verification-is-now-disabled-by-default).

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`. See the
[upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.56/upgrade#change-in-behaviour-for-postgresql-databases-with-unsafe-locale)
for details.

Internal Changes
----------------

- Bump the version of `black` for compatibility with the latest `click` release. ([\#12320](matrix-org/synapse#12320))

Synapse 1.56.0rc1 (2022-03-29)
==============================

Features
--------

- Allow modules to store already existing 3PID associations. ([\#12195](matrix-org/synapse#12195))
- Allow registering server administrators using the module API. Contributed by Famedly. ([\#12250](matrix-org/synapse#12250))

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a long-standing bug which caused the `/_matrix/federation/v1/state` and `/_matrix/federation/v1/state_ids` endpoints to return incorrect or invalid data when called for an event which we have stored as an "outlier". ([\#12087](matrix-org/synapse#12087))
- Fix a long-standing bug where events from ignored users would still be considered for relations. ([\#12227](matrix-org/synapse#12227), [\#12232](matrix-org/synapse#12232), [\#12285](matrix-org/synapse#12285))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.53.0 where an unnecessary query could be performed when fetching bundled aggregations for threads. ([\#12228](matrix-org/synapse#12228))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.52.0 where admins could not deactivate and GDPR-erase a user if Synapse was configured with limits on avatars. ([\#12261](matrix-org/synapse#12261))

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

- Fix the link to the module documentation in the legacy spam checker warning message. ([\#12231](matrix-org/synapse#12231))
- Remove incorrect prefixes in the worker documentation for some endpoints. ([\#12243](matrix-org/synapse#12243))
- Correct `check_username_for_spam` annotations and docs. ([\#12246](matrix-org/synapse#12246))
- Correct Authentik OpenID typo, and add notes on troubleshooting. Contributed by @IronTooch. ([\#12275](matrix-org/synapse#12275))
- HAProxy reverse proxy guide update to stop sending IPv4-mapped address to homeserver. Contributed by @villepeh. ([\#12279](matrix-org/synapse#12279))

Internal Changes
----------------

- Rename `shared_rooms` to `mutual_rooms` ([MSC2666](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2666)), as per proposal changes. ([\#12036](matrix-org/synapse#12036))
- Remove check on `update_user_directory` for shared rooms handler ([MSC2666](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2666)), and update/expand documentation. ([\#12038](matrix-org/synapse#12038))
- Refactor `create_new_client_event` to use a new parameter, `state_event_ids`, which accurately describes the usage with [MSC2716](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2716) instead of abusing `auth_event_ids`. ([\#12083](matrix-org/synapse#12083), [\#12304](matrix-org/synapse#12304))
- Refuse to start if registration is enabled without email, captcha, or token-based verification unless the new config flag `enable_registration_without_verification` is set to `true`. ([\#12091](matrix-org/synapse#12091), [\#12322](matrix-org/synapse#12322))
- Add tests for database transaction callbacks. ([\#12198](matrix-org/synapse#12198))

- Add missing type hints for cache storage. ([\#12216](matrix-org/synapse#12216))
- Add missing type hints for storage. ([\#12248](matrix-org/synapse#12248), [\#12255](matrix-org/synapse#12255))

- Clean-up logic around rebasing URLs for URL image previews. ([\#12219](matrix-org/synapse#12219))
- Use the `ignored_users` table in additional places instead of re-parsing the account data. ([\#12225](matrix-org/synapse#12225))
- Refactor the relations endpoints to add a `RelationsHandler`. ([\#12237](matrix-org/synapse#12237))
- Generate announcement links in the release script. ([\#12242](matrix-org/synapse#12242))
- Improve error message when dependencies check finds a broken installation. ([\#12244](matrix-org/synapse#12244))
- Compress metrics HTTP resource when enabled. Contributed by Nick @ Beeper. ([\#12258](matrix-org/synapse#12258))
- Refuse to start if the PostgreSQL database has a non-`C` locale, unless the config flag `allow_unsafe_db_locale` is set to true. ([\#12262](matrix-org/synapse#12262), [\#12288](matrix-org/synapse#12288))
