This has been the same as a generic_worker since #6964, so let's get rid of it.

Fixes #3717

Supercedes #13451.

amalgamated into a single `synapse.app.generic_worker` app. The remaining apps
are ones that do specific processing unrelated to requests, e.g. the `pusher`
that handles sending out push notifications for new events. The intention is for
all these to be folded into the `generic_worker` app and to use config to define
which processes handle the various proccessing such as push notifications.

I don't think this information about intended direction is terribly helpful here: users aren't interested in the five-year-plan; they want to know how it works today.

listener, in the same way as the `listeners` option in the shared config.

For my own edification-why is this required? (Not questioning, just curious)

@H-Shay I guess you're asking about worker_main_http_uri? In which case, the answer is that /_matrix/client/v3/keys/upload is sometimes processed locally on the worker, but sometimes needs passing over to the main process; and the way it does the latter is very hacky and just an HTTP hit on the main process's regular HTTP interface.

#13642 is about improving this.

Synapse 1.67.0 (2022-09-13)
===========================

This release removes using the deprecated direct TCP replication configuration
for workers. Server admins should use Redis instead. See the [upgrade
notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.67/upgrade.html#upgrading-to-v1670).

The minimum version of `poetry` supported for managing source checkouts is now
1.2.0.

**Notice:** from the next major release (1.68.0) installing Synapse from a source
checkout will require a recent Rust compiler. Those using packages or
`pip install matrix-synapse` will not be affected. See the [upgrade
notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.67/upgrade.html#upgrading-to-v1670).

**Notice:** from the next major release (1.68.0), running Synapse with a SQLite
database will require SQLite version 3.27.0 or higher. (The [current minimum
 version is SQLite 3.22.0](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.67/synapse/storage/engines/sqlite.py#L69-L78).)
See [matrix-org#12983](matrix-org#12983) and the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.67/upgrade.html#upgrading-to-v1670) for more details.

No significant changes since 1.67.0rc1.

Synapse 1.67.0rc1 (2022-09-06)
==============================

Features
--------

- Support setting the registration shared secret in a file, via a new `registration_shared_secret_path` configuration option. ([\matrix-org#13614](matrix-org#13614))
- Change the default startup behaviour so that any missing "additional" configuration files (signing key, etc) are generated automatically. ([\matrix-org#13615](matrix-org#13615))
- Improve performance of sending messages in rooms with thousands of local users. ([\matrix-org#13634](matrix-org#13634))

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.13 where the [List Rooms admin API](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/admin_api/rooms.html#list-room-api) would return integers instead of booleans for the `federatable` and `public` fields when using a Sqlite database. ([\matrix-org#13509](matrix-org#13509))
- Fix bug that user cannot `/forget` rooms after the last member has left the room. ([\matrix-org#13546](matrix-org#13546))
- Faster Room Joins: fix `/make_knock` blocking indefinitely when the room in question is a partial-stated room. ([\matrix-org#13583](matrix-org#13583))
- Fix loading the current stream position behind the actual position. ([\matrix-org#13585](matrix-org#13585))
- Fix a longstanding bug in `register_new_matrix_user` which meant it was always necessary to explicitly give a server URL. ([\matrix-org#13616](matrix-org#13616))
- Fix the running of [MSC1763](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#1763) retention purge_jobs in deployments with background jobs running on a worker by forcing them back onto the main worker. Contributed by Brad @ Beeper. ([\matrix-org#13632](matrix-org#13632))
- Fix a long-standing bug that downloaded media for URL previews was not deleted while database background updates were running. ([\matrix-org#13657](matrix-org#13657))
- Fix [MSC3030](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3030) `/timestamp_to_event` endpoint to return the correct next event when the events have the same timestamp. ([\matrix-org#13658](matrix-org#13658))
- Fix bug where we wedge media plugins if clients disconnect early. Introduced in v1.22.0. ([\matrix-org#13660](matrix-org#13660))
- Fix a long-standing bug which meant that keys for unwhitelisted servers were not returned by `/_matrix/key/v2/query`. ([\matrix-org#13683](matrix-org#13683))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.20.0 that would cause the unstable unread counts from [MSC2654](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2654) to be calculated even if the feature is disabled. ([\matrix-org#13694](matrix-org#13694))

Updates to the Docker image
---------------------------

- Update docker image to use a stable version of poetry. ([\matrix-org#13688](matrix-org#13688))

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

- Improve the description of the ["chain cover index"](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/auth_chain_difference_algorithm.html) used internally by Synapse. ([\matrix-org#13602](matrix-org#13602))
- Document how ["monthly active users"](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/administration/monthly_active_users.html) is calculated and used. ([\matrix-org#13617](matrix-org#13617))
- Improve documentation around user registration. ([\matrix-org#13640](matrix-org#13640))
- Remove documentation of legacy `frontend_proxy` worker app. ([\matrix-org#13645](matrix-org#13645))
- Clarify documentation that HTTP replication traffic can be protected with a shared secret. ([\matrix-org#13656](matrix-org#13656))
- Remove unintentional colons from [config manual](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html) headers. ([\matrix-org#13665](matrix-org#13665))
- Update docs to make enabling metrics more clear. ([\matrix-org#13678](matrix-org#13678))
- Clarify `(room_id, event_id)` global uniqueness and how we should scope our database schemas. ([\matrix-org#13701](matrix-org#13701))

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- Drop support for calling `/_matrix/client/v3/rooms/{roomId}/invite` without an `id_access_token`, which was not permitted by the spec. Contributed by @Vetchu. ([\matrix-org#13241](matrix-org#13241))
- Remove redundant `_get_joined_users_from_context` cache. Contributed by Nick @ Beeper (@Fizzadar). ([\matrix-org#13569](matrix-org#13569))
- Remove the ability to use direct TCP replication with workers. Direct TCP replication was deprecated in Synapse v1.18.0. Workers now require using Redis. ([\matrix-org#13647](matrix-org#13647))
- Remove support for unstable [private read receipts](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2285). ([\matrix-org#13653](matrix-org#13653), [\matrix-org#13692](matrix-org#13692))

- Optimize how Synapse calculates domains to fetch from during backfill. ([\matrix-org#13575](matrix-org#13575))
- Comment about a better future where we can get the state diff between two events. ([\matrix-org#13586](matrix-org#13586))
- Instrument `_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch` to trace time spent in child concurrent calls for understandable traces in Jaeger. ([\matrix-org#13588](matrix-org#13588))
- Improve performance of `@cachedList`. ([\matrix-org#13591](matrix-org#13591))
- Minor speed up of fetching large numbers of push rules. ([\matrix-org#13592](matrix-org#13592))
- Optimise push action fetching queries. Contributed by Nick @ Beeper (@Fizzadar). ([\matrix-org#13597](matrix-org#13597))

- Drop unused column `application_services_state.last_txn`. ([\matrix-org#13627](matrix-org#13627))
- Improve readability of Complement CI logs by printing failure results last. ([\matrix-org#13639](matrix-org#13639))
- Generalise the `@cancellable` annotation so it can be used on functions other than just servlet methods. ([\matrix-org#13662](matrix-org#13662))
