It takes at least 20 minutes to work through the long_retries schedule (11
attempts, each with a 60 second timeout, and 60 seconds between each request),
so if the notary server isn't returning within the timeout, we'll just end up
blocking whatever request is happening for 20 minutes.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

LGTM, though would prefer if you added the explicit long_retries=False

I'd prefer to explicitly set long_retries=False rather than relying on the default tbh.

as discussed in #synapse-dev

  • we don't set long_retries=False anywhere else
  • given how long long_retries takes, you don't want to set it unless you really want it. Accordingly I think it makes sense for the default to be False and for everything to rely on that being the default.

Synapse 1.0.0rc1 (2019-06-07)
=============================

Features
--------

- Synapse now more efficiently collates room statistics. ([\#4338](#4338), [\#5260](#5260), [\#5324](#5324))
- Add experimental support for relations (aka reactions and edits). ([\#5220](#5220))
- Ability to configure default room version. ([\#5223](#5223), [\#5249](#5249))
- Allow configuring a range for the account validity startup job. ([\#5276](#5276))
- CAS login will now hit the r0 API, not the deprecated v1 one. ([\#5286](#5286))
- Validate federation server TLS certificates by default (implements [MSC1711](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/master/proposals/1711-x509-for-federation.md)). ([\#5359](#5359))
- Update /_matrix/client/versions to reference support for r0.5.0. ([\#5360](#5360))
- Add a script to generate new signing-key files. ([\#5361](#5361))
- Update upgrade and installation guides ahead of 1.0. ([\#5371](#5371))
- Replace the `perspectives` configuration section with `trusted_key_servers`, and make validating the signatures on responses optional (since TLS will do this job for us). ([\#5374](#5374))
- Add ability to perform password reset via email without trusting the identity server. ([\#5377](#5377))
- Set default room version to v4. ([\#5379](#5379))

Bugfixes
--------

- Fixes client-server API not sending "m.heroes" to lazy-load /sync requests when a rooms name or its canonical alias are empty. Thanks to @dnaf for this work! ([\#5089](#5089))
- Prevent federation device list updates breaking when processing multiple updates at once. ([\#5156](#5156))
- Fix worker registration bug caused by ClientReaderSlavedStore being unable to see get_profileinfo. ([\#5200](#5200))
- Fix race when backfilling in rooms with worker mode. ([\#5221](#5221))
- Fix appservice timestamp massaging. ([\#5233](#5233))
- Ensure that server_keys fetched via a notary server are correctly signed. ([\#5251](#5251))
- Show the correct error when logging out and access token is missing. ([\#5256](#5256))
- Fix error code when there is an invalid parameter on /_matrix/client/r0/publicRooms ([\#5257](#5257))
- Fix error when downloading thumbnail with missing width/height parameter. ([\#5258](#5258))
- Fix schema update for account validity. ([\#5268](#5268))
- Fix bug where we leaked extremities when we soft failed events, leading to performance degradation. ([\#5274](#5274), [\#5278](#5278), [\#5291](#5291))
- Fix "db txn 'update_presence' from sentinel context" log messages. ([\#5275](#5275))
- Fix dropped logcontexts during high outbound traffic. ([\#5277](#5277))
- Fix a bug where it is not possible to get events in the federation format with the request `GET /_matrix/client/r0/rooms/{roomId}/messages`. ([\#5293](#5293))
- Fix performance problems with the rooms stats background update. ([\#5294](#5294))
- Fix noisy 'no key for server' logs. ([\#5300](#5300))
- Fix bug where a notary server would sometimes forget old keys. ([\#5307](#5307))
- Prevent users from setting huge displaynames and avatar URLs. ([\#5309](#5309))
- Fix handling of failures when processing incoming events where calling `/event_auth` on remote server fails. ([\#5317](#5317))
- Ensure that we have an up-to-date copy of the signing key when validating incoming federation requests. ([\#5321](#5321))
- Fix various problems which made the signing-key notary server time out for some requests. ([\#5333](#5333))
- Fix bug which would make certain operations (such as room joins) block for 20 minutes while attemoting to fetch verification keys. ([\#5334](#5334))
- Fix a bug where we could rapidly mark a server as unreachable even though it was only down for a few minutes. ([\#5335](#5335), [\#5340](#5340))
- Fix a bug where account validity renewal emails could only be sent when email notifs were enabled. ([\#5341](#5341))
- Fix failure when fetching batches of events during backfill, etc. ([\#5342](#5342))
- Add a new room version where the timestamps on events are checked against the validity periods on signing keys. ([\#5348](#5348), [\#5354](#5354))
