@erikjohnston erikjohnston commented Jun 3, 2021

This PR mainly does two things:

  1. Ensure we only load an event from the DB once when the same event is requested multiple times at once.
  2. Ensure that there is only one copy of any given event in memory at a time by using weak references. (split out into Track in memory events using weakrefs #10533)

looks like it should be a significant improvement.

I feel a bit like there are two PRs' worth of changes here: one to dedupe concurrent lookups, and one to use the weakref magic. ymmv though.

I'm super dubious about stuffing more things in here that don't form part of the internal_metadata column in the database.

Should we start a new attrs class for things like this, stream_ordering and outlier? (it also looks like before, after, order might fall into the same category).

also: it seems confusing to have both a redacted_by and a redacted property.

do we not need redacted_because here?

could we refactor the similar code in _get_events_from_db/_maybe_redact_event_row so that we can reuse some common code rather than have two similar but slightly different impls?

For example: have _maybe_redact_event_row just return a boolean rather than the redaction; have _get_events_from_db poke internal_metadata.redacted_by based on that boolean; then move these lines here out to a build_cache_entry which can be called by _get_events_from_db.

I wonder if doing this after fetching_deferred.errback could cause races. I can't really think how it could, though.

I think the only thing that can happen is that another request waits on the deferred after its already been resolved, which shouldn't be an issue as awaiting on the deferred will just return immediately?

Synapse 1.41.0rc1 (2021-08-18)
==============================

Features
--------

- Add `get_userinfo_by_id` method to ModuleApi. ([\#9581](#9581))
- Initial local support for [MSC3266](#10394), Room Summary over the unstable `/rooms/{roomIdOrAlias}/summary` API. ([\#10394](#10394))
- Experimental support for [MSC3288](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3288), sending `room_type` to the identity server for 3pid invites over the `/store-invite` API. ([\#10435](#10435))
- Add support for sending federation requests through a proxy. Contributed by @Bubu and @dklimpel. ([\#10475](#10475))
- Add support for "marker" events which makes historical events discoverable for servers that already have all of the scrollback history (part of [MSC2716](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2716)). ([\#10498](#10498))
- Add a configuration setting for the time a `/sync` response is cached for. ([\#10513](#10513))
- The default logging handler for new installations is now `PeriodicallyFlushingMemoryHandler`, a buffered logging handler which periodically flushes itself. ([\#10518](#10518))
- Add support for new redaction rules for historical events specified in [MSC2716](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2716). ([\#10538](#10538))
- Add a setting to disable TLS when sending email. ([\#10546](#10546))
- Add pagination to the spaces summary based on updates to [MSC2946](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2946). ([\#10549](#10549), [\#10560](#10560), [\#10569](#10569), [\#10574](#10574), [\#10575](#10575), [\#10579](#10579), [\#10583](#10583))
- Admin API to delete several media for a specific user. Contributed by @dklimpel. ([\#10558](#10558), [\#10628](#10628))
- Add support for routing `/createRoom` to workers. ([\#10564](#10564))
- Update the Synapse Grafana dashboard. ([\#10570](#10570))
- Add an admin API (`GET /_synapse/admin/username_available`) to check if a username is available (regardless of registration settings). ([\#10578](#10578))
- Allow editing a user's `external_ids` via the "Edit User" admin API. Contributed by @dklimpel. ([\#10598](#10598))
- The Synapse manhole no longer needs coroutines to be wrapped in `defer.ensureDeferred`. ([\#10602](#10602))
- Add option to allow modules to run periodic tasks on all instances, rather than just the one configured to run background tasks. ([\#10638](#10638))

Bugfixes
--------

- Add some clarification to the sample config file. Contributed by @Kentokamoto. ([\#10129](#10129))
- Fix a long-standing bug where protocols which are not implemented by any appservices were incorrectly returned via `GET /_matrix/client/r0/thirdparty/protocols`. ([\#10532](#10532))
- Fix exceptions in logs when failing to get remote room list. ([\#10541](#10541))
- Fix longstanding bug which caused the user "status" to be reset when the user went offline. Contributed by @dklimpel. ([\#10550](#10550))
- Allow public rooms to be previewed in the spaces summary APIs from [MSC2946](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2946). ([\#10580](#10580))
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.37.1 where an error could occur in the asynchronous processing of PDUs when the queue was empty. ([\#10592](#10592))
- Fix errors on /sync when read receipt data is a string. Only affects homeservers with the experimental flag for [MSC2285](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2285) enabled. Contributed by @SimonBrandner. ([\#10606](#10606))
- Additional validation for the spaces summary API to avoid errors like `ValueError: Stop argument for islice() must be None or an integer`. The missing validation has existed since v1.31.0. ([\#10611](#10611))
- Revert behaviour introduced in v1.38.0 that strips `org.matrix.msc2732.device_unused_fallback_key_types` from `/sync` when its value is empty. This field should instead always be present according to [MSC2732](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/master/proposals/2732-olm-fallback-keys.md). ([\#10623](#10623))

Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Add documentation for configuration a forward proxy. ([\#10443](#10443))
- Updated the reverse proxy documentation to highlight the homserver configuration that is needed to make Synapse aware that is is intentionally reverse proxied. ([\#10551](#10551))
- Update CONTRIBUTING.md to fix index links and the instructions for SyTest in docker. ([\#10599](#10599))

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- No longer build `.deb` packages for Ubuntu 20.10 LTS Groovy Gorilla, which has now EOLed. ([\#10588](#10588))
- The `template_dir` configuration settings in the `sso`, `account_validity` and `email` sections of the configuration file are now deprecated in favour of the global `templates.custom_template_directory` setting. See the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/upgrade.html) for more information. ([\#10596](#10596))

Internal Changes
----------------

- Improve event caching mechanism to avoid having multiple copies of an event in memory at a time. ([\#10119](#10119))
- Reduce errors in PostgreSQL logs due to concurrent serialization errors. ([\#10504](#10504))
- Include room ID in ignored EDU log messages. Contributed by @ilmari. ([\#10507](#10507))
- Add pagination to the spaces summary based on updates to [MSC2946](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2946). ([\#10527](#10527), [\#10530](#10530))

- Update contributing.md to warn against rebasing an open PR. ([\#10563](#10563))
- Remove the unused public rooms replication stream. ([\#10565](#10565))
- Clarify error message when failing to join a restricted room. ([\#10572](#10572))
- Remove references to BuildKite in favour of GitHub Actions. ([\#10573](#10573))
- Move `/batch_send` endpoint defined by [MSC2716](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2716) to the `/v2_alpha` directory. ([\#10576](#10576))
- Allow multiple custom directories in `read_templates`. ([\#10587](#10587))
- Re-organize the `synapse.federation.transport.server` module to create smaller files. ([\#10590](#10590))

Synapse 1.41.0 (2021-08-24)
===========================

This release adds support for Debian 12 (Bookworm), but **removes support for Ubuntu 20.10 (Groovy Gorilla)**, which reached End of Life last month.

Note that when using workers the `/_synapse/admin/v1/users/{userId}/media` must now be handled by media workers. See the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/upgrade.html) for more information.

Features
--------

- Enable room capabilities ([MSC3244](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3244)) by default and set room version 8 as the preferred room version when creating restricted rooms. ([\matrix-org#10571](matrix-org#10571))
