No need to have version_string as an argument since it's always the same.

Assuming, we're happy with #19011, this PR makes sense. But we should leave the decision and context of having them be the same to that PR first.

Pull Request Checklist

  • Pull request is based on the develop branch
  • Pull request includes a changelog file. The entry should:
    • Be a short description of your change which makes sense to users. "Fixed a bug that prevented receiving messages from other servers." instead of "Moved X method from EventStore to EventWorkerStore.".
    • Use markdown where necessary, mostly for code blocks.
    • End with either a period (.) or an exclamation mark (!).
    • Start with a capital letter.
    • Feel free to credit yourself, by adding a sentence "Contributed by @github_username." or "Contributed by [Your Name]." to the end of the entry.
  • Code style is correct (run the linters)

Keywords make it easier to search and positional arguments are easy
to mess up especially when there are multiple strings next to each
other.

Made these keyword only arguments to make it easier to search and confirm what server_version_string was used for.

Additionally, a good idea because positional arguments are easy to mess up especially when there are multiple strings next to each other.

self._instance_name = config.worker.instance_name

self.version_string = version_string
self.version_string = f"Synapse/{SYNAPSE_VERSION}"

The main change is consolidating everything to this assignment instead of this being passed in as an argument.

Deployments that make use of the
[synapse-s3-storage-provider](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-s3-storage-provider)
module must upgrade to
[v1.6.0](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-s3-storage-provider/releases/tag/v1.6.0).
Using older versions of the module with this release of Synapse will prevent
users from being able to upload or download media.

No significant changes since 1.140.0rc1.

- Add [a new Media Query by ID Admin API](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/v1.140/admin_api/media_admin_api.html#query-a-piece-of-media-by-id) that allows server admins to query and investigate the metadata of local or cached remote media via
  the `origin/media_id` identifier found in a [Matrix Content URI](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.14/client-server-api/#matrix-content-mxc-uris). ([\element-hq#18911](element-hq#18911))
- Add [a new Fetch Event Admin API](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/v1.140/admin_api/fetch_event.html) to fetch an event by ID. ([\element-hq#18963](element-hq#18963))
- Update [MSC4284: Policy Servers](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#4284) implementation to support signatures when available. ([\element-hq#18934](element-hq#18934))

- Expose a `defer_to_threadpool` function in the Synapse Module API that allows modules to run a function on a separate thread in a custom threadpool. ([\element-hq#19032](element-hq#19032))

- Fix room upgrade `room_config` argument and documentation for `user_may_create_room` spam-checker callback. ([\element-hq#18721](element-hq#18721))
- Compute a user's last seen timestamp from their devices' last seen timestamps instead of IPs, because the latter are automatically cleared according to `user_ips_max_age`. ([\element-hq#18948](element-hq#18948))
- Fix bug where ephemeral events were not filtered by room ID. Contributed by @frastefanini. ([\element-hq#19002](element-hq#19002))
- Update Synapse main process version string to include git info. ([\element-hq#19011](element-hq#19011))

- Explain how `Deferred` callbacks interact with logcontexts. ([\element-hq#18914](element-hq#18914))
- Fix documentation for `rc_room_creation` and `rc_reports` to clarify that a `per_user` rate limit is not supported. ([\element-hq#18998](element-hq#18998))

- Remove deprecated `LoggingContext.set_current_context`/`LoggingContext.current_context` methods which already have equivalent bare methods in `synapse.logging.context`. ([\element-hq#18989](element-hq#18989))
- Drop support for unstable field names from the long-accepted [MSC2732](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2732) (Olm fallback keys) proposal. ([\element-hq#18996](element-hq#18996))

- Cleanly shutdown `SynapseHomeServer` object, allowing artifacts of embedded small hosts to be properly garbage collected. ([\element-hq#18828](element-hq#18828))
- Update OEmbed providers to use 'X' instead of 'Twitter' in URL previews, following a rebrand. Contributed by @HammyHavoc. ([\element-hq#18767](element-hq#18767))
- Fix `server_name` in logging context for multiple Synapse instances in one process. ([\element-hq#18868](element-hq#18868))
- Wrap the Rust HTTP client with `make_deferred_yieldable` so it follows Synapse logcontext rules. ([\element-hq#18903](element-hq#18903))
- Fix the GitHub Actions workflow that moves issues labeled "X-Needs-Info" to the "Needs info" column on the team's internal triage board. ([\element-hq#18913](element-hq#18913))
- Disconnect background process work from request trace. ([\element-hq#18932](element-hq#18932))
- Reduce overall number of calls to `_get_e2e_cross_signing_signatures_for_devices` by increasing the batch size of devices the query is called with, reducing DB load. ([\element-hq#18939](element-hq#18939))
- Update error code used when an appservice tries to masquerade as an unknown device using [MSC4326](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#4326). Contributed by @tulir @ Beeper. ([\element-hq#18947](element-hq#18947))
- Fix `no active span when trying to log` tracing error on startup (when OpenTracing is enabled). ([\element-hq#18959](element-hq#18959))

- Add debug logs wherever we change current logcontext. ([\element-hq#18966](element-hq#18966))
- Update dockerfile metadata to fix broken link; point to documentation website. ([\element-hq#18971](element-hq#18971))
- Note that the code is additionally licensed under the [Element Commercial license](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/blob/develop/LICENSE-COMMERCIAL) in SPDX expression field configs. ([\element-hq#18973](element-hq#18973))
- Fix logcontext handling in `timeout_deferred` tests. ([\element-hq#18974](element-hq#18974))
- Remove internal `ReplicationUploadKeysForUserRestServlet` as a follow-up to the work in element-hq#18581 that moved device changes off the main process. ([\element-hq#18988](element-hq#18988))
- Switch task scheduler from raw logcontext manipulation to using the dedicated logcontext utils. ([\element-hq#18990](element-hq#18990))
- Remove `MockClock()` in tests. ([\element-hq#18992](element-hq#18992))
