Synapse 0.99.1 (2019-02-14)

===========================
 
 Features
 --------
 
 - Include m.room.encryption on invites by default ([\#3902](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/3902))
 - Federation OpenID listener resource can now be activated even if federation is disabled ([\#4420](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4420))
 - Synapse's ACME support will now correctly reprovision a certificate that approaches its expiry while Synapse is running. ([\#4522](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4522))
 - Add ability to update backup versions ([\#4580](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4580))

   This change makes Synapse compliant with r0.4.0 of the Client-Server specification. ([\#4592](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4592))
 - There is no longer any need to specify `no_tls`: it is inferred from the absence of TLS listeners ([\#4613](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4613), [\#4615](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4615), [\#4617](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4617), [\#4636](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4636))

Using a reverse proxy with Synapse
==================================
It is recommended to put a reverse proxy such as
`nginx <https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html>`_,
`Apache <https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy_http.html>`_,
`Caddy <https://caddyserver.com/docs/proxy>`_ or
`HAProxy <https://www.haproxy.org/>`_ in front of Synapse. One advantage of
doing so is that it means that you can expose the default https port (443) to
Matrix clients without needing to run Synapse with root privileges.
**NOTE**: Your reverse proxy must not 'canonicalise' or 'normalise' the
requested URI in any way (for example, by decoding ``%xx`` escapes). Beware
that Apache *will* canonicalise URIs unless you specifify ``nocanon``.
When setting up a reverse proxy, remember that Matrix clients and other Matrix
servers do not necessarily need to connect to your server via the same server
name or port. Indeed, clients will use port 443 by default, whereas servers
default to port 8448. Where these are different, we refer to the 'client port'
and the 'federation port'. See `Setting up federation
<../README.rst#setting-up-federation>`_ for more details of the algorithm used for
federation connections.
Let's assume that we expect clients to connect to our server at
``https://matrix.example.com``, and other servers to connect at
``https://example.com:8448``. Here are some example configurations:
* nginx::
server {
listen 443 ssl;
listen [::]:443 ssl;
server_name matrix.example.com;
location /_matrix {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8008;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
}
}
server {
listen 8448 ssl default_server;
listen [::]:8448 ssl default_server;
server_name example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8008;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
}
}
* Caddy::
matrix.example.com {
proxy /_matrix http://localhost:8008 {
transparent
}
}
example.com:8448 {
proxy / http://localhost:8008 {
transparent
}
}
* Apache (note the ``nocanon`` options here!)::
<VirtualHost *:443>
SSLEngine on
ServerName matrix.example.com;
<Location /_matrix>
ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:8008/_matrix nocanon
ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:8008/_matrix
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8448>
SSLEngine on
ServerName example.com;
<Location />
ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:8008/_matrix nocanon
ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:8008/_matrix
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
You will also want to set ``bind_addresses: ['127.0.0.1']`` and ``x_forwarded: true``
for port 8008 in ``homeserver.yaml`` to ensure that client IP addresses are
recorded correctly.
Having done so, you can then use ``https://matrix.example.com`` (instead of
``https://matrix.example.com:8448``) as the "Custom server" when connecting to
Synapse from a client.

To make effective use of the workers, you will need to configure an HTTP
reverse-proxy such as nginx or haproxy, which will direct incoming requests to
the correct worker, or to the main synapse instance. Note that this includes
requests made to the federation port. The caveats regarding running a
reverse-proxy on the federation port still apply (see
