Synapse 1.48.0rc1 (2021-11-25)
==============================

Features
--------

- Support filtering by relation senders & types per [MSC3440](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3440). ([\#11236](matrix-org/synapse#11236))
- Add support for the `/_matrix/client/v3` and `/_matrix/media/v3` APIs from Matrix v1.1. ([\#11318](matrix-org/synapse#11318), [\#11371](matrix-org/synapse#11371))
- Support the stable version of [MSC2778](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2778): the `m.login.application_service` login type. Contributed by @tulir. ([\#11335](matrix-org/synapse#11335))
- Add a new version of delete room admin API `DELETE /_synapse/admin/v2/rooms/<room_id>` to run it in the background. Contributed by @dklimpel. ([\#11223](matrix-org/synapse#11223))
- Allow the admin [Delete Room API](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/admin_api/rooms.html#delete-room-api) to block a room without the need to join it. ([\#11228](matrix-org/synapse#11228))
- Add an admin API to un-shadow-ban a user. ([\#11347](matrix-org/synapse#11347))
- Add an admin API to run background database schema updates. ([\#11352](matrix-org/synapse#11352))
- Add an admin API for blocking a room. ([\#11324](matrix-org/synapse#11324))

- Store and allow querying of arbitrary event relations. ([\#11391](matrix-org/synapse#11391))

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a long-standing bug wherein display names or avatar URLs containing null bytes cause an internal server error when stored in the DB. ([\#11230](matrix-org/synapse#11230))
- Prevent [MSC2716](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2716) historical state events from being pushed to an application service via `/transactions`. ([\#11265](matrix-org/synapse#11265))
- Fix a long-standing bug where uploading extremely thin images (e.g. 1000x1) would fail. Contributed by @Neeeflix. ([\#11288](matrix-org/synapse#11288))
- Fix a bug, introduced in Synapse 1.46.0, which caused the `check_3pid_auth` and `on_logged_out` callbacks in legacy password authentication provider modules to not be registered. Modules using the generic module interface were not affected. ([\#11340](matrix-org/synapse#11340))
- Fix a bug introduced in 1.41.0 where space hierarchy responses would be incorrectly reused if multiple users were to make the same request at the same time. ([\#11355](matrix-org/synapse#11355))
- Fix a bug introduced in 1.45.0 where the `read_templates` method of the module API would error. ([\#11377](matrix-org/synapse#11377))

- Improve performance of various background database updates. ([\#11421](matrix-org/synapse#11421), [\#11422](matrix-org/synapse#11422))

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

- Suggest users of the Debian packages add configuration to `/etc/matrix-synapse/conf.d/` to prevent, upon upgrade, being asked to choose between their configuration and the maintainer's. ([\#11281](matrix-org/synapse#11281))
- Fix typos in the documentation for the `username_available` admin API. Contributed by Stanislav Motylkov. ([\#11286](matrix-org/synapse#11286))
