==============================
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.

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

* 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.
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
`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.

Over time we've begun to use newer versions of mypy, typeshed, stub
packages---and of course we've improved our own annotations. This makes
some type ignore comments no longer necessary. I have removed them.
There was one exception: a module that imports `select.epoll`. The
ignore is redundant on Linux, but I've kept it ignored for those of us
who work on the source tree using not-Linux. (#11771)
I'm more interested in the config line which enforces this. I want
unused ignores to be reported, because I think it's useful feedback when
annotating to know when you've fixed a problem you had to previously
ignore.
* Installing extras before typechecking
Lacking an easy way to install all extras generically, let's bite the bullet and
make install the hand-maintained `all` extra before typechecking.
Now that https://github.com/matrix-org/backend-meta/pull/6 is merged to
the release/v1 branch.
MSC2314 has now been closed, so we're backing out its implementation, which
originally happened in #6176.
Unfortunately it's not a direct revert, as that PR mixed in a bunch of
unrelated changes to tests etc.
This was missed when initially stabilising room version 8 and was
left in as a compatibility shim. Most homeservers have upgraded
to a version which expects the proper field name, and the failure
mode is reasonable (a user on an older server may have to attempt
joining the room twice with an obscure error message the first time).
* Pull out query param types to `synapse.http.types`
* Use QueryParams everywhere
* Simplify `encode_query_args`
* Add annotation which would have caught #12410
Refactor and convert `Linearizer` to async. This makes a `Linearizer`
cancellation bug easier to fix.
Also refactor to use an async context manager, which eliminates an
unlikely footgun where code that doesn't immediately use the context
manager could forget to release the lock.

Since the object it returns is a ReplicationCommandHandler.
This is clean-up from adding support to Redis where the command handler
was added as an additional layer of abstraction from the TCP protocol.
...and various code supporting it.
The /spaces endpoint was from an old version of MSC2946 and included
both a Client-Server and Server-Server API. Note that the unstable
/hierarchy endpoint (from the final version of MSC2946) is not yet
removed.
Before this fix, a legitimate 404 from a federation endpoint (e.g. due
to an unknown room) would be treated as an unknown endpoint. This
could cause unnecessary federation traffic.
This is an endpoint that we have server-side support for, but no client-side support. It's going to be useful for resyncing partial-stated rooms, so let's introduce it.
* Make `get_auth_chain_ids` return a Set
It has a set internally, and a set is often useful where it gets used, so let's
avoid converting to an intermediate list.
* Minor refactors in `on_send_join_request`
A little bit of non-functional groundwork
* Implement MSC3706: partial state in /send_join response
The idea here is to set the parent span for incoming federation requests to the
*outgoing* span on the other end. That means that you can see (most of) the
full end-to-end flow when you have a process that includes federation requests.
However, in order not to lose information, we still want a link to the
`incoming-federation-request` span from the servlet, so we have to create
another span to do exactly that.
* Fix losing incoming EDUs if debug logging enabled
Fixes#11889. Homeservers should only be affected if the
`synapse.8631_debug` logger was enabled for DEBUG mode.
I am not sure if this merits a bugfix release: I think the logging can
be disabled in config if anyone is affected? But it is still pretty bad.
Debug for #8631.
I'm having a hard time tracking down what's going wrong in that issue.
In the reported example, I could see server A sending federation traffic
to server B and all was well. Yet B reports out-of-sync device updates
from A.
I couldn't see what was _in_ the events being sent from A to B. So I
have added some crude logging to track
- when we have updates to send to a remote HS
- the edus we actually accumulate to send
- when a federation transaction includes a device list update edu
- when such an EDU is received
This is a bit of a sledgehammer.
I've never found this terribly useful. I think it was added in the early days
of Synapse, without much thought as to what would actually be useful to log,
and has just been cargo-culted ever since.
Rather, it tends to clutter up debug logs with useless information.
