Instead of wrapping the JSON into an object, this creates concrete
instances for Transaction and Edu. This allows for improved type
hints and simplified code.
* drop old-room hack
pretty sure we don't need this any more.
* Remove incorrect comment about modifying `context`
It doesn't look like the supplied context is ever modified.
* Stop `_auth_and_persist_event` modifying its parameters
This is only called in three places. Two of them don't pass `auth_events`, and
the third doesn't use the dict after passing it in, so this should be non-functional.
* Stop `_check_event_auth` modifying its parameters
`_check_event_auth` is only called in three places. `on_send_membership_event`
doesn't pass an `auth_events`, and `prep` and `_auth_and_persist_event` do not
use the map after passing it in.
* Stop `_update_auth_events_and_context_for_auth` modifying its parameters
Return the updated auth event dict, rather than modifying the parameter.
This is only called from `_check_event_auth`.
* Improve documentation on `_auth_and_persist_event`
Rename `auth_events` parameter to better reflect what it contains.
* Improve documentation on `_NewEventInfo`
* Improve documentation on `_check_event_auth`

This adds 'allowed_room_ids' (in addition to 'allowed_spaces', for backwards
compatibility) to the federation response of the spaces summary.
A future PR will remove the 'allowed_spaces' flag.
If there are no services providing a protocol, omit it completely
instead of returning an empty dictionary.
This fixes a long-standing spec compliance bug.
Synapse 1.40.0rc2 (2021-08-04)
==============================
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix the `PeriodicallyFlushingMemoryHandler` inhibiting application shutdown because of its background thread. ([\#10517](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10517))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.40.0rc1 that could cause Synapse to respond with an error when clients would update read receipts. ([\#10531](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10531))
Internal Changes
----------------
- Fix release script to open the correct URL for the release. ([\#10516](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10516))
The room type is per MSC3288 to allow the identity-server to
change invitation wording based on whether the invitation is to
a room or a space.
The prefixed key will be replaced once MSC3288 is accepted
into the spec.
* Make historical messages available to federated servers
Part of MSC2716: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2716
Follow-up to https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/9247
* Debug message not available on federation
* Add base starting insertion point when no chunk ID is provided
* Fix messages from multiple senders in historical chunk
Follow-up to https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/9247
Part of MSC2716: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2716
---
Previously, Synapse would throw a 403,
`Cannot force another user to join.`,
because we were trying to use `?user_id` from a single virtual user
which did not match with messages from other users in the chunk.
* Remove debug lines
* Messing with selecting insertion event extremeties
* Move db schema change to new version
* Add more better comments
* Make a fake requester with just what we need
See https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/10276#discussion_r660999080
* Store insertion events in table
* Make base insertion event float off on its own
See https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/10250#issuecomment-875711889
Conflicts:
synapse/rest/client/v1/room.py
* Validate that the app service can actually control the given user
See https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/10276#issuecomment-876316455

* Add more detail on which insertion event came through
* Address review and improve sql queries
* Only use event_id as unique constraint
* Fix test case where insertion event is already in the normal DAG
* Remove debug changes
* Add support for MSC2716 marker events
* Process markers when we receive it over federation
* WIP: make hs2 backfill historical messages after marker event
* hs2 to better ask for insertion event extremity
But running into the `sqlite3.IntegrityError: NOT NULL constraint failed: event_to_state_groups.state_group`
error
* Add insertion_event_extremities table
* Switch to chunk events so we can auth via power_levels
Previously, we were using `content.chunk_id` to connect one
chunk to another. But these events can be from any `sender`
and we can't tell who should be able to send historical events.
We know we only want the application service to do it but these
events have the sender of a real historical message, not the
application service user ID as the sender. Other federated homeservers
also have no indicator which senders are an application service on
the originating homeserver.
So we want to auth all of the MSC2716 events via power_levels
and have them be sent by the application service with proper
PL levels in the room.
* Switch to chunk events for federation
* Add unstable room version to support new historical PL
* Messy: Fix undefined state_group for federated historical events

Per issue #9812 using `url_preview_ip_range_blacklist` with a proxy via `HTTPS_PROXY` or `HTTP_PROXY` environment variables has some inconsistent bahavior than mentioned. This PR changes the following:
- Changes the Sample Config file to include a note mentioning that `url_preview_ip_range_blacklist` and `ip_range_blacklist` is ignored when using a proxy
- Changes some logic in synapse/config/repository.py to send a warning when both `*ip_range_blacklist` configs and a proxy environment variable are set and but no longer throws an error.

* Make it possible to get the room_version with txn
* Allow but ignore historical events in unsupported room version
See https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/10245#discussion_r675592489
We can't reject historical events on unsupported room versions because homeservers without knowledge of MSC2716 or the new room version don't reject historical events either.
Since we can't rely on the auth check here to stop historical events on unsupported room versions, I've added some additional checks in the processing/persisting code (`synapse/storage/databases/main/events.py` -> `_handle_insertion_event` and `_handle_chunk_event`). I've had to do some refactoring so there is method to fetch the room version by `txn`.

Mostly this involves decorating a few Deferred declarations with extra type hints. We wrap the types in quotes to avoid runtime errors when running against older versions of Twisted that don't have generics on Deferred.
IE11 doesn't support Content-Security-Policy but it has support for
a non-standard X-Content-Security-Policy header, which only supports the
sandbox directive. This prevents script execution, so it at least offers
some protection against media repo-based attacks.

Now that we have `simple_upsert` that should be used in preference to
trying to insert and looking for an exception. The main benefit is that
we ERROR message don't get written to postgres logs.
We also have tidy up the return value on `simple_upsert`, rather than
having a tri-state of inserted/not-inserted/unknown.
* switch from `types.CoroutineType` to `typing.Coroutine`
these should be identical semantically, and since `defer.ensureDeferred` is

* parse_{boolean,integer}

This adds an API for third-party plugin modules to implement account validity, so they can provide this feature instead of Synapse. The module implementing the current behaviour for this feature can be found at https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-email-account-validity.
To allow for a smooth transition between the current feature and the new module, hooks have been added to the existing account validity endpoints to allow their behaviours to be overridden by a module.
The postgres statistics collector sometimes massively underestimates the
number of distinct state groups are in the `state_groups_state`, which
can cause postgres to use table scans for queries for multiple state
groups.
We fix this by manually setting `n_distinct` on the column.
This is to help with performance, where trying to connect to thousands
of hosts at once can consume a lot of CPU (due to TLS etc).

Previously only world-readable rooms were shown. This means that
rooms which are public, knockable, or invite-only with a pending invitation,
are included in a space summary. It also applies the same logic to
the experimental room version from MSC3083 -- if a user has access
to the proper allowed rooms then it is shown in the spaces summary.
This change is made per MSC3173 allowing stripped state of a room to
be shown to any potential room joiner.
