Synapse 1.7.0 (2019-12-13)

Browse source 
==========================
 
 This release changes the default settings so that only local authenticated users can query the server's room directory. See the [upgrade notes](UPGRADE.rst#upgrading-to-v170) for details.
 
 Support for SQLite versions before 3.11 is now deprecated. A future release will refuse to start if used with an SQLite version before 3.11.
 
 Administrators are reminded that SQLite should not be used for production instances. Instructions for migrating to Postgres are available [here](docs/postgres.md). A future release of synapse will, by default, disable federation for servers using SQLite.
 
 No significant changes since 1.7.0rc2.

# Quarantine media in a room
This API 'quarantines' all the media in a room.
The API is:
```
POST /_synapse/admin/v1/quarantine_media/<room_id>
{}
```
Quarantining media means that it is marked as inaccessible by users. It applies
to any local media, and any locally-cached copies of remote media.
The media file itself (and any thumbnails) is not deleted from the server.

List Accounts
=============
This API returns all local user accounts.
The api is::
GET /_synapse/admin/v2/users?from=0&limit=10&guests=false
including an ``access_token`` of a server admin.
The parameters ``from`` and ``limit`` are required only for pagination.
By default, a ``limit`` of 100 is used.
The parameter ``user_id`` can be used to select only users with user ids that
contain this value.
The parameter ``guests=false`` can be used to exclude guest users,
default is to include guest users.
The parameter ``deactivated=true`` can be used to include deactivated users,
default is to exclude deactivated users.
If the endpoint does not return a ``next_token`` then there are no more users left.
It returns a JSON body like the following:
.. code:: json
{
"users": [
{
"name": "<user_id1>",
"password_hash": "<password_hash1>",
"is_guest": 0,
"admin": 0,

# Room admins and mods can define a retention period for their rooms using the

# the 'allowed_lifetime_min' and 'allowed_lifetime_max' config options.
#
# If this feature is enabled, Synapse will regularly look for and purge events

#
#enabled: true
# Default retention policy. If set, Synapse will apply it to rooms that lack the
# 'm.room.retention' state event. Currently, the value of 'min_lifetime' doesn't
# matter much because Synapse doesn't take it into account yet.
#
#default_policy:
# min_lifetime: 1d
# max_lifetime: 1y
# Retention policy limits. If set, a user won't be able to send a
# 'm.room.retention' event which features a 'min_lifetime' or a 'max_lifetime'
# that's not within this range. This is especially useful in closed federations,
# in which server admins can make sure every federating server applies the same
# rules.
#
#allowed_lifetime_min: 1d
#allowed_lifetime_max: 1y
# Server admins can define the settings of the background jobs purging the
# events which lifetime has expired under the 'purge_jobs' section.
#
# If no configuration is provided, a single job will be set up to delete expired
# events in every room daily.
#
# Each job's configuration defines which range of message lifetimes the job
# takes care of. For example, if 'shortest_max_lifetime' is '2d' and
# 'longest_max_lifetime' is '3d', the job will handle purging expired events in
# rooms whose state defines a 'max_lifetime' that's both higher than 2 days, and
# lower than or equal to 3 days. Both the minimum and the maximum value of a
# range are optional, e.g. a job with no 'shortest_max_lifetime' and a
# 'longest_max_lifetime' of '3d' will handle every room with a retention policy
# which 'max_lifetime' is lower than or equal to three days.
#
# The rationale for this per-job configuration is that some rooms might have a
# retention policy with a low 'max_lifetime', where history needs to be purged
# of outdated messages on a very frequent basis (e.g. every 5min), but not want
# that purge to be performed by a job that's iterating over every room it knows,
