The Matrix.org Foundation copy of the project will be archived. Any changes needed
by server administrators will be communicated via our usual announcements channels,
but we are striving to make this as seamless as possible.
### Features
- Synapse now declares support for Matrix v1.7, v1.8, and v1.9. ([\#16707](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16707))
- Add `on_user_login` [module API](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/modules/writing_a_module.html) callback allowing to execute custom code after (on) Auth. ([\#15207](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15207))
- Support [MSC4069: Inhibit profile propagation](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4069). ([\#16636](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16636))
- Restore tracking of requests and monthly active users when delegating authentication via [MSC3861](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/16672) to an OIDC provider. ([\#16672](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16672))
- Add an autojoin setting for server notices rooms, so users may be joined directly instead of receiving an invite. ([\#16699](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16699))
- Follow redirects when downloading media over federation (per [MSC3860](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3860)). ([\#16701](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16701))
### Bugfixes
- Enable refreshable tokens on the admin registration endpoint. ([\#16642](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16642))
- Consistently bypass rate limits when using the server notice admin API. ([\#16670](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16670))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.7.2 where rooms whose power levels lacked an `events` field could not be upgraded. ([\#16725](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16725))
- Fix `GET /_synapse/admin/v1/federation/destinations` [admin API](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/administration/admin_api/index.html) returning null (instead of 0) for `retry_last_ts` and `retry_interval`. ([\#16729](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16729))
### Improved Documentation
- Add schema rollback information to documentation. ([\#16661](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16661))
- Fix poetry version typo in [contributors' guide](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/development/contributing_guide.html). ([\#16695](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16695))
- Switch the example UNIX socket paths to `/run`. Add HAProxy example configuration for UNIX sockets. ([\#16700](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16700))
- Add documentation for how to validate the configuration file with `synapse.config` script. ([\#16714](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16714))
- Reduce a little database load while processing state auth chains. ([\#16552](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16552))
- Add a Postgres `REPLICA IDENTITY` to tables that do not have an implicit one. This should allow use of Postgres logical replication. ([\#16658](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16658), [\#16730](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16730))
- Reduce database load of pruning old `user_ips`. ([\#16667](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16667))
- Reduce DB load when forget on leave setting is disabled. ([\#16668](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16668))
- Ignore `encryption_enabled_by_default_for_room_type` setting when creating server notices room, since the notices will be send unencrypted anyway. ([\#16677](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16677))
- Correctly read the to-device stream ID on startup using SQLite. ([\#16682](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16682))
- Reoranganise test files. ([\#16684](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16684))
- Remove old full schema dumps which are no longer used. ([\#16697](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16697))
- Raise poetry-core upper bound to <=1.8.1. This allows contributors to import Synapse after `poetry install`ing with Poetry 1.6 and above. Contributed by Mo Balaa. ([\#16702](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16702))
- Add a workflow to try and automatically fixup linting in a PR. ([\#16704](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16704))
