Synapse 1.86.0rc1 (2023-06-13)

This version was tagged but never released.

Features

• Stable support for MSC3882 to allow an existing device/session to generate a login token for use on a new device/session. (#15388)
• Support resolving a room's canonical alias via the module API. (#15450)
• Enable support for MSC3952: intentional mentions. (#15520)
• Experimental MSC3861 support: delegate auth to an OIDC provider. (#15582)
• Add Synapse version deploy annotations to Grafana dashboard which enables easy correlation between behavior changes witnessed in a graph to a certain Synapse version and nail down regressions. (#15674)
• Add a catch-all * to the supported relation types when redacting an event and its related events. This is an update to MSC3912 implementation. (#15705)
• Speed up /messages by backfilling in the background when there are no backward extremities where we are directly paginating. (#15710)
• Expose a metric reporting the database background update status. (#15740)

Bugfixes

• Correctly clear caches when we delete a room. (#15609)
• Check permissions for enabling encryption earlier during room creation to avoid creating broken rooms. (#15695)

Improved Documentation

• Simplify query to find participating servers in a room. (#15732)

Internal Changes

• Log when events are (maybe unexpectedly) filtered out of responses in tests. (#14213)
• Read from column full_user_id rather than user_id of tables profiles and user_filters. (#15649)
• Add support for tracing functions which return Awaitables. (#15650)
• Cache requests for user's devices over federation. (#15675)
• Add fully qualified docker image names to Dockerfiles. (#15689)
• Remove some unused code. (#15690)
• Improve type hints. (#15694, #15697)
• Update docstring and traces on maybe_backfill() functions. (#15709)
• Add context for when/why to use the long_retries option when sending Federation requests. (#15721)
• Removed some unused fields. (#15723)
• Update federation error to more plainly explain we can only authorize our own membership events. (#15725)
• Prevent the latest_deps and twisted_trunk daily GitHub Actions workflows from running on forks of the codebase. (#15726)
• Improve performance of user directory search. (#15729)
• Remove redundant table join with room_memberships when doing a is_host_joined()/is_host_invited() call (membership is already part of the current_state_events). (#15731)
• Remove superfluous room_memberships join from background update. (#15733)
• Speed up typechecking CI. (#15752)
• Bump minimum supported Rust version to 1.60.0. (#15768)
