I'm not really sure if there's much benefit to step 3 -- we might want to just jump over it and do step 4 at the end of the deprecation period. |

Synapse 1.58.0rc1 (2022-04-26) ============================== As of this release, the groups/communities feature in Synapse is now disabled by default. See [\#11584](matrix-org/synapse#11584) for details. As mentioned in [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1580), this feature will be removed in Synapse 1.61. Features -------- - Implement [MSC3383](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3383) for including the destination in server-to-server authentication headers. Contributed by @Bubu and @jcgruenhage for Famedly. ([\#11398](matrix-org/synapse#11398)) - Docker images and Debian packages from matrix.org now contain a locked set of Python dependencies, greatly improving build reproducibility. ([Board](https://github.com/orgs/matrix-org/projects/54), [\#11537](matrix-org/synapse#11537)) - Enable processing of device list updates asynchronously. ([\#12365](matrix-org/synapse#12365), [\#12465](matrix-org/synapse#12465)) - Implement [MSC2815](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2815) to allow room moderators to view redacted event content. Contributed by @tulir. ([\#12427](matrix-org/synapse#12427)) - Build Debian packages for Ubuntu 22.04 "Jammy Jellyfish". ([\#12543](matrix-org/synapse#12543)) Bugfixes -------- - Prevent a sync request from removing a user's busy presence status. ([\#12213](matrix-org/synapse#12213)) - Fix bug with incremental sync missing events when rejoining/backfilling. Contributed by Nick @ Beeper. ([\#12319](matrix-org/synapse#12319)) - Fix a long-standing bug which incorrectly caused `GET /_matrix/client/v3/rooms/{roomId}/event/{eventId}` to return edited events rather than the original. ([\#12476](matrix-org/synapse#12476)) - Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.27.0 where the admin API for [deleting forward extremities](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/erikj/fix_delete_event_response_count/docs/admin_api/rooms.md#deleting-forward-extremities) would always return a count of 1, no matter how many extremities were deleted. ([\#12496](matrix-org/synapse#12496)) - Fix a long-standing bug where the image thumbnails embedded into email notifications were broken. ([\#12510](matrix-org/synapse#12510)) - Fix a bug in the implementation of [MSC3202](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3202) where Synapse would use the field name `device_unused_fallback_keys`, rather than `device_unused_fallback_key_types`. ([\#12520](matrix-org/synapse#12520)) - Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 0.99.3 which could cause Synapse to consume large amounts of RAM when back-paginating in a large room. ([\#12522](matrix-org/synapse#12522)) Improved Documentation ---------------------- - Fix rendering of the documentation site when using the 'print' feature. ([\#12340](matrix-org/synapse#12340)) - Add a manual documenting config file options. ([\#12368](matrix-org/synapse#12368), [\#12527](matrix-org/synapse#12527)) - Update documentation to reflect that both the `run_background_tasks_on` option and the options for moving stream writers off of the main process are no longer experimental. ([\#12451](matrix-org/synapse#12451)) - Update worker documentation and replace old `federation_reader` with `generic_worker`. ([\#12457](matrix-org/synapse#12457)) - Strongly recommend [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/) for development. ([\#12475](matrix-org/synapse#12475)) - Add some example configurations for workers and update architectural diagram. ([\#12492](matrix-org/synapse#12492)) - Fix a broken link in `README.rst`. ([\#12495](matrix-org/synapse#12495)) - Add HAProxy delegation example with CORS headers to docs. ([\#12501](matrix-org/synapse#12501)) - Remove extraneous comma in User Admin API's device deletion section so that the example JSON is actually valid and works. Contributed by @olmari. ([\#12533](matrix-org/synapse#12533)) Deprecations and Removals ------------------------- - The groups/communities feature in Synapse is now disabled by default. ([\#12344](matrix-org/synapse#12344)) - Remove unstable identifiers from [MSC3440](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3440). ([\#12382](matrix-org/synapse#12382)) Internal Changes ---------------- - Preparation for faster-room-join work: start a background process to resynchronise the room state after a room join. ([\#12394](matrix-org/synapse#12394)) - Preparation for faster-room-join work: Implement a tracking mechanism to allow functions to wait for full room state to arrive. ([\#12399](matrix-org/synapse#12399)) - Remove an unstable identifier from [MSC3083](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3083). ([\#12395](matrix-org/synapse#12395)) - Run CI in the locked [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/) environment, and remove corresponding `tox` jobs.

Almost all of the groups related code I could find has now been removed. There's a tiny bit left which will be handled in #12940. |

The groups/communities feature in Synapse is unspecced (defined in MSC1513, kind of, but is abandoned) -- spaces (MSC1772 and friends).
There are still some useful features driven by Groups (namely flair) so it is unclear when this will happen. Note that Element Web has the capability to convert a Group -> Space.
A rough plan of how we might want to do this is:
falseto disable those endpoints at the end of the deprecation period. The configuration flag should emit a warning if it is enabled.RelatedGroupsconstantRelated to #8334.
