==============================
This release of Synapse adds a unique index to the `state_group_edges` table, in
order to prevent accidentally introducing duplicate information (for example,
because a database backup was restored multiple times). If your Synapse database
already has duplicate rows in this table, this could fail with an error and
require manual remediation.
Additionally, the signature of the `check_event_for_spam` module callback has changed.
The previous signature has been deprecated and remains working for now. Module authors
should update their modules to use the new signature where possible.
See [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1600)
for more details.
Features
--------
- Add an option allowing users to use their password to reauthenticate for privileged actions even though password login is disabled. ([\#12883](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12883))
Bugfixes
--------
- Explicitly close `ijson` coroutines once we are done with them, instead of leaving the garbage collector to close them. ([\#12875](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12875))
Internal Changes
----------------
- Improve URL previews by not including the content of media tags in the generated description. ([\#12887](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12887))

Hopefully this means that exceptions raised due to truncated JSON
get a sensible logging context and stack.

* Fix room deletion
ae7858f broke room deletion by attempting to delete the entry from `rooms`
before the tables that reference it.
* faster_joins: remove database rows on purge
* Refactor HTTP response size limits
Rather than passing a separate `max_response_size` down the stack, make it an
attribute of the `parser`.
* Allow bigger responses on `federation/v1/state`
`/state` can return huge responses, so we need to handle that.
Makes it so that groups/communities no longer exist from a user-POV. E.g. we remove:
* All API endpoints (including Client-Server, Server-Server, and admin).
* Documented configuration options (and the experimental flag, which is now unused).
* Special handling during room upgrades.
* The `groups` section of the `/sync` response.
By always returning all requested values from the function
wrapped by cachedList. Otherwise implicit None values get
added into the cache, which are unexpected.
Implements the following behind an experimental configuration flag:
* A new push rule kind for mutually related events.
* A new default push rule (`.m.rule.thread_reply`) under an unstable prefix.
This is missing part of MSC3772:
* The `.m.rule.thread_reply_to_me` push rule, this depends on MSC3664 / #11804.
The main differences are:
- values with delimiters (such as colons) should be quoted, so always
quote the origin, since it could contain a colon followed by a port
number
- should allow more than one space after "X-Matrix"
- quoted values with backslash-escaped characters should be unescaped
- names should be case insensitive
A minor optimization to avoid unnecessary copying/building
identical dictionaries when filtering private read receipts.
Also clarifies comments and cleans-up some tests.
==============================
Synapse 1.59 makes several changes that server administrators should be aware of:
- Device name lookup over federation is now disabled by default. ([\#12616](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12616))
- The `synapse.app.appservice` and `synapse.app.user_dir` worker application types are now deprecated. ([\#12452](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12452), [\#12654](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12654))
See [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1590) for more details.
Additionally, this release removes the non-standard `m.login.jwt` login type from Synapse. It can be replaced with `org.matrix.login.jwt` for identical behaviour. This is only used if `jwt_config.enabled` is set to `true` in the configuration. ([\#12597](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12597))
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.58.0 where `/sync` would fail if the most recent event in a room was rejected. ([\#12729](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12729))

Parse the `m.relates_to` event content field (which describes relations)
in a single place, this is used during:
* Event persistence.
* Validation of the Client-Server API.
* Fetching bundled aggregations.
* Processing of push rules.
Each of these separately implement the logic and each made slightly
different assumptions about what was valid. Some had minor / potential
bugs.
