# Maunium Synapse
This is a fork of [Synapse] to remove dumb limits and fix bugs that the
upstream devs don't want to fix.
The only official distribution is the docker image in the [GitLab container
registry], but you can also install from source ([upstream instructions]).
The master branch and `:latest` docker tag are upgraded to each upstream
release candidate very soon after release (usually within 10 minutes†). There
are also docker tags for each release, e.g. `:1.75.0`. If you don't want RCs,
use the specific release tags.
†If there are merge conflicts, the update may be delayed for up to a few days
after the full release.

## List of changes
* Default power level for room creator is 9001 instead of 100.
* Room creator can specify a custom room ID with the `room_id` param in the
request body. If the room ID is already in use, it will return `M_CONFLICT`.
* ~~URL previewer user agent includes `Bot` so Twitter previews work properly.~~
Upstreamed after over 2 years 🎉
* ~~Local event creation concurrency is disabled to avoid unnecessary state
resolution.~~ Upstreamed after over 3 years 🎉
* Register admin API can register invalid user IDs.
* Docker image with jemalloc enabled by default.
* Config option to allow specific users to send events without unnecessary
validation.
* Config option to allow specific users to receive events that are usually
filtered away (e.g. `org.matrix.dummy_event` and `m.room.aliases`).
* Config option to allow specific users to use timestamp massaging without
being appservice users.
* Removed bad pusher URL validation.
* webp images are thumbnailed to webp instead of jpeg to avoid losing
transparency.
* Media repo `Cache-Control` header says `immutable` and 1 year for all media
that exists, as media IDs in Matrix are immutable.
* Allowed sending custom data with read receipts.
