Features

- Add new unstable error codes
ORG.MATRIX.MSC3848.ALREADY_JOINED
,ORG.MATRIX.MSC3848.NOT_JOINED
, andORG.MATRIX.MSC3848.INSUFFICIENT_POWER
described in MSC3848. (#13343) - Use stable prefixes for MSC3827. (#13370)

Bugfixes
- Update the version of the LDAP3 auth provider module included in the
matrixdotorg/synapse
DockerHub images and the Debian packages hosted on packages.matrix.org to 0.2.2. This version fixes a regression in the module. (#13470) - Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.41.0 where the
/hierarchy
API returned non-standard information (aroom_id
field under each entry inchildren_state
) (this was reverted in v1.65.0rc2, see changelog notes above). (#13365) - Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 0.24.0 that would respond with the wrong error status code to
/joined_members
requests when the requester is not a current member of the room. Contributed by @andrewdoh. (#13374) - Fix bug in handling of typing events for appservices. Contributed by Nick @ Beeper (@Fizzadar). (#13392)
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.57.0 where rooms listed in
exclude_rooms_from_sync
in the configuration file would not be properly excluded from incremental syncs. (#13408) - Fix a bug in the experimental faster-room-joins support which could cause it to get stuck in an infinite loop. (#13353)
- Faster room joins: fix a bug which caused rejected events to become un-rejected during state syncing. (#13413)
- Faster room joins: fix error when running out of servers to sync partial state with, so that Synapse raises the intended error instead. (#13432)
Updates to the Docker image
- Make Docker images build on armv7 by installing cryptography dependencies in the 'requirements' stage. Contributed by Jasper Spaans. (#13372)
Improved Documentation
- Update the 'registration tokens' page to acknowledge that the relevant MSC was merged into version 1.2 of the Matrix specification. Contributed by @moan0s. (#11897)
- Document which HTTP resources support gzip compression. (#13221)

url_preview_accept_language
in documentation. (#13437) - Remove redundant 'Contents' section from the Configuration Manual. Contributed by @dklimpel. (#13438)
- Update documentation for config setting
macaroon_secret_key
. (#13443) - Update outdated information on
sso_mapping_providers
documentation. (#13449) - Fix example code in module documentation of
password_auth_provider_callbacks
. (#13450) - Make the configuration for the cache clearer. (#13481)
Internal Changes
- Extend the release script to automatically push a new SyTest branch, rather than having that be a manual process. (#12978)
- Make minor clarifications to the error messages given when we fail to join a room via any server. (#13160)
- Enable Complement CI tests in the 'latest deps' test run. (#13213)
- Fix long-standing bugged logic which was never hit in
get_pdu
asking every remote destination even after it finds an event. (#13346) - Faster room joins: avoid blocking when pulling events with partially missing prev events. (#13355)
- Instrument
/messages
for understandable traces in Jaeger. (#13368) - Remove an unused argument to
get_relations_for_event
. (#13383) - Add a
merge-back
command to the release script, which automates merging the correct branches after a release. (#13393) - Adding missing type hints to tests. (#13397)
- Faster Room Joins: don't leave a stuck room partial state flag if the join fails. (#13403)
- Refactor
_resolve_state_at_missing_prevs
to compute anEventContext
instead. (#13404, #13431) - Faster Room Joins: prevent Synapse from answering federated join requests for a room which it has not fully joined yet. (#13416)
- Re-enable running Complement tests against Synapse with workers. (#13420)
- Prevent unnecessary lookups to any external
get_event
cache. Contributed by Nick @ Beeper (@Fizzadar). (#13435) - Add some tracing to give more insight into local room joins. (#13439)
