Synapse 1.42.0rc2 (2021-09-06)
==============================
This version of Synapse removes deprecated room-management admin APIs, removes out-of-date
email pushers, and improves error handling for fallback templates for user-interactive
authentication. For more information on these points, server administrators are
encouraged to read [the upgrade notes](docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1420).
Features
--------
- Support room version 9 from [MSC3375](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3375). ([\#10747](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10747))
Internal Changes
----------------
- Print a warning when using one of the deprecated `template_dir` settings. ([\#10768](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10768))
The deprecation itself happened in #10596 which shipped with Synapse v1.41.0. However, it doesn't seem fair to suddenly drop support for these settings in ~4-6w without being more vocal about said deprecation.
Several configuration sections are using separate settings for custom template directories, which can be confusing. This PR adds a new top-level configuration for a custom template directory which is then used for every module. The only exception is the consent templates, since the consent template directory require a specific hierarchy, so it's probably better that it stays separate from everything else.
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.

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.
This implements refresh tokens, as defined by MSC2918
This MSC has been implemented client side in Hydrogen Web: vector-im/hydrogen-web#235
The basics of the MSC works: requesting refresh tokens on login, having the access tokens expire, and using the refresh token to get a new one.

We were repeatedly looking up a config option in a loop (using the
unclassed config style), which is expensive enough that it can cause
large CPU usage.
This PR adds a common configuration section for all modules (see docs). These modules are then loaded at startup by the homeserver. Modules register their hooks and web resources using the new `register_[...]_callbacks` and `register_web_resource` methods of the module API.
Dangerous actions means deactivating an account, modifying an account
password, or adding a 3PID.
Other actions (deleting devices, uploading keys) can re-use the same UI
auth session if ui_auth.session_timeout is configured.
* Room version 7 for knocking.
* Stable prefixes and endpoints (both client and federation) for knocking.
* Removes the experimental configuration flag.
Add 'federation_ip_range_whitelist'. This allows backwards-compatibility, If 'federation_ip_range_blacklist' is set. Otherwise 'ip_range_whitelist' will be used for federation servers.
