I've seen a few errors which can only plausibly be explained by the calculated event id for an event being different from the ID of the event in the database. It should be cheap to check this, so let's do so and raise an exception.

I'm scared

A couple of UTs were relying on being able to insert events with bogus event
IDs into the db, then read them back. Fix this up by using real event IDs.

Just curious if this is related to the "No state group for unknown or outlier event" errors that have been popping up since you added validation?

It is, yes. Basically if EventBase.event_id returns a different value to what the database thinks the event id is, then we're not going to be able to find the state at that event.

Synapse 1.59.0rc1 (2022-05-10)
==============================

This release makes several changes that server administrators should be aware of:

- Device name lookup over federation is now disabled by default. ([\#12616](#12616))
- The `synapse.app.appservice` and `synapse.app.user_dir` worker application types are now deprecated. ([\#12452](#12452), [\#12654](#12654))

See [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1590) for more details.

Additionally, this release removes the non-standard `m.login.jwt` login type from Synapse. It can be replaced with `org.matrix.login.jwt` for identical behaviour. This is only used if `jwt_config.enabled` is set to `true` in the configuration. ([\#12597](#12597))

Features
--------

- Support [MSC3266](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3266) room summaries over federation. ([\#11507](#11507))
- Implement [changes](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals@4a77139) to [MSC2285 (hidden read receipts)](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2285). Contributed by @SimonBrandner. ([\#12168](#12168), [\#12635](#12635), [\#12636](#12636), [\#12670](#12670))
- Extend the [module API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.59/synapse/module_api/__init__.py) to allow modules to change actions for existing push rules of local users. ([\#12406](#12406))
- Add the `notify_appservices_from_worker` configuration option (superseding `notify_appservices`) to allow a generic worker to be designated as the worker to send traffic to Application Services. ([\#12452](#12452))
- Add the `update_user_directory_from_worker` configuration option (superseding `update_user_directory`) to allow a generic worker to be designated as the worker to update the user directory. ([\#12654](#12654))
- Add new `enable_registration_token_3pid_bypass` configuration option to allow registrations via token as an alternative to verifying a 3pid. ([\#12526](#12526))
- Implement [MSC3786](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3786): Add a default push rule to ignore `m.room.server_acl` events. ([\#12601](#12601))
- Add new `mau_appservice_trial_days` configuration option to specify a different trial period for users registered via an appservice. ([\#12619](#12619))

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.48.0 where the latest thread reply provided failed to include the proper bundled aggregations. ([\#12273](#12273))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.22.0 where attempting to send a large amount of read receipts to an application service all at once would result in duplicate content and abnormally high memory usage. Contributed by Brad & Nick @ Beeper. ([\#12544](#12544))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.57.0 which could cause `Failed to calculate hosts in room` errors to be logged for outbound federation. ([\#12570](#12570))
- Fix a long-standing bug where status codes would almost always get logged as `200!`, irrespective of the actual status code, when clients disconnect before a request has finished processing. ([\#12580](#12580))
- Fix race when persisting an event and deleting a room that could lead to outbound federation breaking. ([\#12594](#12594))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.53.0 where bundled aggregations for annotations/edits were incorrectly calculated. ([\#12633](#12633))
- Fix a long-standing bug where rooms containing power levels with string values could not be upgraded. ([\#12657](#12657))
- Prevent memory leak from reoccurring when presence is disabled. ([\#12656](#12656))

Updates to the Docker image
---------------------------

- Explicitly opt-in to using [BuildKit-specific features](https://github.com/moby/buildkit/blob/master/frontend/dockerfile/docs/syntax.md) in the Dockerfile. This fixes issues with building images in some GitLab CI environments. ([\#12541](#12541))
- Update the "Build docker images" GitHub Actions workflow to use `docker/metadata-action` to generate docker image tags, instead of a custom shell script. Contributed by @henryclw. ([\#12573](#12573))

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

- Update SQL statements and replace use of old table `user_stats_historical` in docs for Synapse Admins. ([\#12536](#12536))
- Add missing linebreak to `pipx` install instructions. ([\#12579](#12579))
- Add information about the TCP replication module to docs. ([\#12621](#12621))
- Fixes to the formatting of `README.rst`. ([\#12627](#12627))
- Fix docs on how to run specific Complement tests using the `complement.sh` test runner. ([\#12664](#12664))

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

- Remove unstable identifiers from [MSC3069](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3069). ([\#12596](#12596))
- Remove the unspecified `m.login.jwt` login type and the unstable `uk.half-shot.msc2778.login.application_service` from
  [MSC2778](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2778). ([\#12597](#12597))
- Synapse now requires at least Python 3.7.1 (up from 3.7.0), for compatibility with the latest Twisted trunk. ([\#12613](#12613))

Internal Changes

- Use `make_awaitable` instead of `defer.succeed` for return values of mocks in tests. ([\#12505](#12505))
- Consistently check if an object is a `frozendict`. ([\#12564](#12564))

- Prevent remote homeservers from requesting local user device names by default. ([\#12616](#12616))
- Add a consistency check on events which we read from the database. ([\#12620](#12620))
- Remove use of the `constantly` library and switch to enums for `EventRedactBehaviour`. Contributed by @andrewdoh. ([\#12624](#12624))
