I might be missing something, but I don't see why this data needs to come from the server. Standard room version capabilities don't vary across servers, so the supported features can just be hardcoded into clients. Only the list of supported room versions will vary, but that data is already available from the endpoint.

yea... I'm not seeing what this is trying to accomplish. Room versions are meant to be frozen sets of functionality, particularly at the spec level, and not mutated over time. If someone were to create a com.example.my_room_version they'd almost certainly have to figure out a nested versioning scheme because once used the room version can't change behaviour.

Currently cients never require a specific room version, and created room are using the default version at the time of creation.

If clients start hard coding room version, they will need to be continuously updated to be up to date. E.g if the default room version is updated (for security reason), the clients will force lower room version

I think the idea isn't whether or not the client specifies the room version, but that the clients would encode the information in them for what features a room version supports.

The argument against this is that the servers have to know this already (e.g. Synapse's implementation), so instead of hard-coding it into each client the server could pass the information to the client.

Maybe that's over-designed though and the proper thing is to codify a similar list in the clients?

The issue with having a list in the clients is that it can get outdated. If I'm running an old client, and the server says that the default room version is "10", but the client doesn't know what room version "10" is, then it doesn't know if a room created with the default version will support knocking, or if it should specify that it wants room version "7".

Arguably, clients shouldn't be doing anything with room versions that they don't understand, but since most of the room version changes are server-side things, clients have been mostly fine just assuming that everything is (almost) the same.

The server can't really be sure it's suggesting the right values though? If a client is developed with v8 in mind, it's not going to really know if v10 will also serve its purpose, and the server definitely won't know how the client expects to function.

Room versions are non-linear, so in a hypothetical (and possibly likely down the line) scenario we could have v8 for knocking, v9 for enforced encryption, v10 for newfangled knocking+restricted cooperation, and v11 which mixes it all together. In this case, the client will want a feature called "knocking" but doesn't know that v10/11 are actually some completely new approach it has never heard of. It'd be irresponsible of the server to suggest this as a preferred version, but also it's not immediately clear what we'd do given it's keyed by feature name. Further, the server suggesting v11 could impact the user experience of the client even if the client did know about v10 (but not 11): it may very well not want to have encryption baked into the room, but the server will have suggested an unknown room version for new-knocking.

Overall, I do seriously wonder if this can be solved with process rather than tech. If we sped up the room version cutting process, would it alleviate the concerns of this MSC? Can we find a non-technical answer to communicating what is in a given room version and drive uptake?

If multiple capabilities are needed (e.g mscXX1 and mscXX2), and they have different `preferred` versions, clients can
then pick one of the stable version that appears in both `support` arrays.

A downside of this is that you can end up on an older room version since there's no ordering, e.g.

  • knocking: preferred: 7, supports: 7, 8, 9
  • restricted: preferred 9, supports: 8, 9

From here you could choose 8 or 9, but which to use? Maybe it doesn't really matter. 🤷

I'm not sure where that information would come from though. The server doesn't really have an ordered list of room versions it prefers.

I also agree that these attributes should be namespaced as m.*, otherwise it gets inconsistent with the rest of the spec.

If the feature is supported but by a stable room version that is not the default one, the client should
then request to use the preferred version (`preferred`) that supports the feature, in the create room call:

This seems to imply that unstable room versions can be included in the response. This isn't 100% clear from the examples.

IMO preferred should always be stable, support should include all known room versions, inc unstable, as that field is what drives the UI of whether to show a particular setting

In the hypothetical scenario where multiple capabilities would be needed (e.g mscXX1 and mscXX2), and have different `preferred` versions, clients can then pick one of the stable version that appears in both `support` arrays.

Is there a benefit to having preferred and support separate as opposed to just an ordered array for support?

We might want to be able to say "preferred": null whilst only unstable room versions support this, e.g right now for restricted, but still giving the clients the list of supporting room versions to know what UI to show for an experimental room version without needing to hardcode it.

PoC implementations:

Uses "preferred": null for restricted to never have preferred be an unstable version


When a new room version is introduced there is a delay before it becames the default
version. This delay is related to support of this new room version across the federation.

As part of this MSC, two capabilities are defined:
- `knock` for knocking join rule support [MSC2403](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2403)
- `restricted` for restricted join rule support [MSC3083](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3083)

Are we allowing unstable capabilities to be added here? I've wanted to use this to advertise MSC2716 support, matrix-org/synapse#12516

It would be good to add a note that unstable capabilities are allowed with prefixes.

   Log Message:
   Update chat/matrix-synapse to 1.43.0

   Synapse 1.43.0 (2021-09-21)
   =============
   This release drops support for the deprecated, unstable API for [MSC2858 (Multiple SSO Identity
   Providers)](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/master/proposals/2858-Multiple-SSO-Identity-Providers.md#unstable-prefix), as well as the undocumented `experimental.msc2858_enabled` config
   option. Client authors should update their clients to use the stable API, available since Synapse 1.30.

   The documentation has been updated with configuration for routing `/spaces`, `/hierarchy` and `/summary` to workers. See [the upgrade
   notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.43/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1430) for more details.

   No significant changes since 1.43.0rc2.

   chat/matrix-synapse: Update to 1.47.1 (security)

   Synapse 1.47.1 (2021-11-23)
   ======This release fixes a security issue in the media store, affecting all prior releases of Synapse. Server administrators are encouraged to update Synapse as soon as possible. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild.

   Server administrators who are unable to update Synapse may use the workarounds described in the linked GitHub Security Advisory below.

   Security advisory
   -----------------

   The following issue is fixed in 1.47.1.

   - **[GHSA-3hfw-x7gx-437c](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-3hfw-x7gx-437c) / [CVE-2021-41281](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-41281): Path traversal when downloading remote media.**

     Synapse instances with the media repository enabled can be tricked into downloading a file from a remote server into an arbitrary directory, potentially outside the media store directory.

     The last two directories and file name of the path are chosen randomly by Synapse and cannot be controlled by an attacker, which limits the impact.

     Homeservers with the media repository disabled are unaffected. Homeservers configured with a federation whitelist are also unaffected.

     Fixed by [91f2bd090](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/91f2bd090).
