slots use less memory (and attribute access is faster) while slightly
limiting the flexibility of the class attributes. This focuses on objects
which are instantiated "often" and for short periods of time.
* Ensure account data stream IDs are unique.
The account data stream is shared between three tables, and the maximum
allocated ID was tracked in a dedicated table. Updating the max ID
happened outside the transaction that allocated the ID, leading to a
race where if the server was restarted then the same ID could be
allocated but the max ID failed to be updated, leading it to be reused.
The ID generators have support for tracking across multiple tables, so
we may as well use that instead of a dedicated table.
* Fix bug in account data replication stream.
If the same stream ID was used in both global and room account data then
the getting updates for the replication stream would fail due to
`heapq.merge(..)` trying to compare a `str` with a `None`. (This is
because you'd have two rows like `(534, '!room')` and `(534, None)` from
the room and global account data tables).
Fix is just to order by stream ID, since we don't rely on the ordering
beyond that. The bug where stream IDs can be reused should be fixed now,
so this case shouldn't happen going forward.
Fixes#7617
The bg update never managed to complete, because it kept being interrupted by
transactions which want to take a lock.
Just doing it in the foreground isn't that bad, and is a good deal simpler.
Currently we rely on `current_state_events` to figure out what rooms a
user was in and their last membership event in there. However, if the
server leaves the room then the table may be cleaned up and that
information is lost. So lets add a table that separately holds that
information.
There is a README.txt which always sets off this warning, which is a bit
alarming when you first start synapse. I don't think we need to warn about
this.
Sends password reset emails from the homeserver instead of proxying to the identity server. This is now the default behaviour for security reasons. If you wish to continue proxying password reset requests to the identity server you must now enable the email.trust_identity_server_for_password_resets option.
