==============================
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))

* 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.
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.
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.
`BaseFederationServlet` wraps its endpoints in a bunch of async code
that has not been vetted for compatibility with cancellation.
Fail CI if a `@cancellable` flag is applied to a federation endpoint.

While `ReplicationEndpoint`s register themselves via `JsonResource`,
they pass a method that calls the handler, instead of the handler itself,
to `register_paths`. As a result, `JsonResource` will not correctly pick
up the `@cancellable` flag and we have to apply it ourselves.

Both `RestServlet`s and `BaseFederationServlet`s register their handlers
with `HttpServer.register_paths` / `JsonResource.register_paths`. Update
`JsonResource` to respect the `@cancellable` flag on handlers registered
in this way.
Although `ReplicationEndpoint` also registers itself using
`register_paths`, it does not pass the handler method that would have the
`@cancellable` flag directly, and so needs separate handling.

`DirectServeHtmlResource` and `DirectServeJsonResource` both inherit
from `_AsyncResource`. These classes expect to be subclassed with
`_async_render_*` methods.
This commit has no effect on `JsonResource`, despite inheriting from
`_AsyncResource`. `JsonResource` has its own `_async_render` override
which will need to be updated separately.

Refactor how the `EventContext` class works, with the intention of reducing the amount of state we fetch from the DB during event processing.
The idea here is to get rid of the cached `current_state_ids` and `prev_state_ids` that live in the `EventContext`, and instead defer straight to the database (and its caching).
One change that may have a noticeable effect is that we now no longer prefill the `get_current_state_ids` cache on a state change. However, that query is relatively light, since its just a case of reading a table from the DB (unlike fetching state at an event which is more heavyweight). For deployments with workers this cache isn't even used.
Part of #12684
Also expose the `SynapseRequest` from `FakeChannel` in tests, so that
we can call `Request.connectionLost` to simulate a client disconnecting.
