`os.path.exists` doesn't allow us to distinguish between permissions errors and
the path actually not existing, which repeatedly confuses people. It also means
that we try to overwrite existing key files, which is super-confusing. (cf
issues #2455, #2379). Use os.stat instead.
Also, don't recomemnd the the use of --generate-config, which screws everything
up if you're using debian (cf #2455).
Set the limit on the returned events in the timeline in the get and sync
operations. The default value is -1, means no upper limit.
For example, using `filter_timeline_limit: 5000`:
POST /_matrix/client/r0/user/user:id/filter
{
room: {
timeline: {
limit: 1000000000000000000
}
}
}
GET /_matrix/client/r0/user/user:id/filter/filter:id
{
room: {
timeline: {
limit: 5000
}
}
}
The server cuts down the room.timeline.limit.
The URLs used for notification emails were hardcoded to use either matrix.to
or vector.im; but for self-hosted setups where Riot is also self-hosted it
may be desirable to allow configuring an alternative Riot URL.
Fixes#1809.

The debug 'full_twisted_stacktraces' flag caused synapse to rewrite
twisted deferreds to always fire the callback on the next reactor tick.
This was to force the deferred to always store the stacktraces on
exceptions, and thus be more likely to have a full stacktrace when it
reaches the final error handlers and gets printed to the logs.
Dynamically rewriting things is generally bad, and in particular this
change violates assumptions of various bits of Twisted. This wouldn't
necessarily be so bad, but it turns out this option has been turned on
on some production servers.
Turning the option can cause e.g. #1778.
For now, lets just entirely nuke this option.
The 'time' caveat on the access tokens was something of a lie, since we weren't
enforcing it; more pertinently its presence stops us ever adding useful time
caveats.
Let's move in the right direction by not lying in our caveats.
This adds a flag loaded from the registration file of an AS that will determine whether or not its users are rate limited (by ratelimit in _base.py). Needed for IRC bridge reasons - see https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/issues/240.
Allows delegating the password auth to an external module. This also
moves the LDAP auth to using this system, allowing it to be removed from
the synapse tree entirely in the future.
If 'url' is not specified, they will not be pushed for events or queries. This
is useful for bots who simply wish to reserve large chunks of user/alias
namespace, and don't care about being pushed for events.
Use the pure-python ldap3 library, which eliminates the need for a
system dependency.
Offer both a `search` and `simple_bind` mode, for more sophisticated
ldap scenarios.
- `search` tries to find a matching DN within the `user_base` while
employing the `user_filter`, then tries the bind when a single
matching DN was found.
- `simple_bind` tries the bind against a specific DN by combining the
localpart and `user_base`
Offer support for STARTTLS on a plain connection.
The configuration was changed to reflect these new possibilities.

The existing content can still be downloaded. The last upload to the
matrix.org server was in January 2015, so it is probably safe to remove
the upload API.
Renames ``load_config`` to ``load_or_generate_config``
Adds a method called ``load_config`` that just loads the
config.
The main synapse.app.homeserver will continue to use
``load_or_generate_config`` to retain backwards compat.
However new worker processes can use ``load_config`` to
load the config avoiding some of the cruft needed to generate
the config.
As the new ``load_config`` method is expected to be used by new
configs it removes support for the legacy commandline overrides
that ``load_or_generate_config`` supports
