v1.64.0

Synapse 1.64.0 (2022-08-02)

No significant changes since 1.64.0rc2.

Deprecation Warning

Synapse v1.66.0 will remove the ability to delegate the tasks of verifying email address ownership, and password reset confirmation, to an identity server.

If you require your homeserver to verify e-mail addresses or to support password resets via e-mail, please configure your homeserver with SMTP access so that it can send e-mails on its own behalf. Consult the configuration documentation for more information.

Synapse 1.64.0rc2 (2022-07-29)

This RC reintroduces support for account_threepid_delegates.email, which was removed in 1.64.0rc1. It remains deprecated and will be removed altogether in Synapse v1.66.0. (#13406)

Synapse 1.64.0rc1 (2022-07-26)

This RC removed the ability to delegate the tasks of verifying email address ownership, and password reset confirmation, to an identity server.

We have also stopped building .deb packages for Ubuntu 21.10 as it is no longer an active version of Ubuntu.

Features

• Improve error messages when media thumbnails cannot be served. (#13038)
• Allow pagination from remote event after discovering it from MSC3030 /timestamp_to_event. (#13205)
• Add a room_type field in the responses for the list room and room details admin APIs. Contributed by @​andrewdoh. (#13208)
• Add support for room version 10. (#13220)
• Add per-room rate limiting for room joins. For each room, Synapse now monitors the rate of join events in that room, and throttles additional joins if that rate grows too large. (#13253, #13254, #13255, #13276)
• Support Implicit TLS (TLS without using a STARTTLS upgrade, typically on port 465) for sending emails, enabled by the new option force_tls. Contributed by Jan Schär. (#13317)

Bugfixes

• Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.15.0 where adding a user through the Synapse Admin API with a phone number would fail if the enable_email_notifs and email_notifs_for_new_users options were enabled. Contributed by @​thomasweston12. (#13263)
• Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.40.0 where a user invited to a restricted room would be briefly unable to join. (#13270)
• Fix a long-standing bug where, in rare instances, Synapse could store the incorrect state for a room after a state resolution. (#13278)
• Fix a bug introduced in v1.18.0 where the synapse_pushers metric would overcount pushers when they are replaced. (#13296)
• Disable autocorrection and autocapitalisation on the username text field shown during registration when using SSO. (#13350)
• Update locked version of frozendict to 2.3.3, which has fixes for memory leaks affecting /sync. (#13284, #13352)
