Synapse 1.49.0rc1 (2021-12-07)
==============================

We've decided to move the existing, somewhat stagnant pages from the GitHub wiki
to the [documentation website](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/).

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](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pulls). Please visit [#synapse-dev:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#synapse-dev:matrix.org)
if you need help with the process!


Features
--------

- Add [MSC3030](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3030) experimental client and federation API endpoints to get the closest event to a given timestamp. ([\#9445](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9445))
- When returning relation events from the `/relations` API, bundle any relations of those relations into the result, per updates to [MSC2675](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2675). ([\#11284](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11284))
- Include bundled relation aggregations during a limited `/sync` request and `/relations` request, per [MSC2675](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2675). ([\#11284](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11284), [\#11478](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11478))
- Add plugin support for controlling database background updates. ([\#11306](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11306), [\#11475](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11475), [\#11479](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11479))
- Support the stable API endpoints for [MSC2946](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2946): the room `/hierarchy` endpoint. ([\#11329](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11329))
- Add admin API to get some information about federation status with remote servers. ([\#11407](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11407))
- Support expiry of refresh tokens and expiry of the overall session when refresh tokens are in use. ([\#11425](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11425))
- Stabilise support for [MSC2918](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/main/proposals/2918-refreshtokens.md#msc2918-refresh-tokens) refresh tokens as they have now been merged into the Matrix specification. ([\#11435](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11435), [\#11522](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11522))
- Update [MSC2918 refresh token](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/main/proposals/2918-refreshtokens.md#msc2918-refresh-tokens) support to confirm with the latest revision: accept the `refresh_tokens` parameter in the request body rather than in the URL parameters. ([\#11430](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11430))
- Support configuring the lifetime of non-refreshable access tokens separately to refreshable access tokens. ([\#11445](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11445))
- Expose synapse_homeserver and synapse_worker commands as entry points to run Synapse's main process and worker processes, respectively. Contributed by @Ma27. ([\#11449](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11449))
- Expose `synapse_homeserver` and `synapse_worker` commands as entry points to run Synapse's main process and worker processes, respectively. Contributed by @Ma27. ([\#11449](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11449))
- `synctl stop` will now wait for Synapse to exit before returning. ([\#11459](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11459), [\#11490](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11490))
- Extend the "delete room" admin api to work correctly on rooms which have previously been partially deleted. ([\#11523](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11523))
- Add support for the `/_matrix/client/v3/login/sso/redirect/{idpId}` API from Matrix v1.1. This endpoint was overlooked when support for v3 endpoints was added in Synapse 1.48.0rc1. ([\#11451](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11451))


Bugfixes

- Fix a long-standing bug where all requests that read events from the database could get stuck as a result of losing the database connection, for real this time. Also fix a race condition introduced in the previous insufficient fix in 1.47.0. ([\#11376](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11376))
