Unreleased

This will be the first release of Grapevine since it was forked from Conduit 0.7.0.

Security

  1. Prevent XSS via user-uploaded media. (!8)
  2. Switch from incorrect, hand-rolled X-Matrix Authorization parser to the much better implementation provided by Ruma. (!31)
    • This is not practically exploitable to our knowledge, but this change does reduce risk.
  3. Switch to a more trustworthy password hashing library. (!29)
    • This is not practically exploitable to our knowledge, but this change does reduce risk.
  4. Don't return redacted events from the search endpoint. (!41 (f74043d), !41 (83cdc9c))
  5. Prevent impersonation in EDUs. (!41 (da99b07))
    • m.signing_key_update was not affected by this bug.
  6. Verify PDUs and transactions against the temporally-correct signing keys. (!41 (9087da9))
  7. Only allow the admin bot to change the room ID that the admin room alias points to. (!42)

Removed

  1. Remove update checker. (17a0b34)
  2. Remove optional automatic display name emoji for newly registered users. (cddf699)
  3. Remove admin room welcome message on first startup. (c9945f6)
  4. Remove incomplete presence implementation. (f27941d)
  5. Remove Debian packaging. (d41f0fb)
  6. Remove Docker packaging. (!48)

Changed

  1. BREAKING: Rename conduit_cache_capacity_modifier configuration option to cache_capacity_modifier. (5619d7e)
    • If you are explicitly setting this configuration option, make sure to change its name before updating.
  2. BREAKING: Rename Conduit to Grapevine. (360e020)
    • The CONDUIT_VERSION_EXTRA build-time environment variable has been renamed to GRAPEVINE_VERSION_EXTRA. This change only affects distribution packagers or non-Nix users who are building from source. If you fall into one of those categories and were explicitly setting this environment variable, make sure to change its name before building Grapevine.
  3. BREAKING: Change the default port from 8000 to 6167. (f205280)
    • If you relied on the default port being 8000, either update your other configuration to use the new port, or explicitly configure Grapevine's port to 8000.
  4. Improve tracing spans and events. (!11 (a275db3) (merged as 5172f66), !11 (a275db3) (merged as 5172f66), !11 (f556fce) (merged as ac42e0b), !18, !26)
  5. Stop returning unnecessary member counts from /_matrix/client/{r0,v3}/sync. (!12)
  6. BREAKING: Allow federation by default. (!24)
    • If you relied on federation being disabled by default, make sure to explicitly disable it before upgrading.
  7. BREAKING: Remove the [global] section from the configuration file. (!38)
    • Details on how to migrate can be found in the merge request's description.
  8. BREAKING: Allow specifying multiple transport listeners in the configuration file. (!39)
    • Details on how to migrate can be found in the merge request's description.

Fixed

  1. Fix questionable numeric conversions. (71c48f6)
  2. Stop sending no-longer-valid cached responses from the /_matrix/client/{r0,v3}/sync endpoints. (!7)
  3. Stop returning extra E2EE device updates from /_matrix/client/{r0,v3}/sync as that violates the specification. (!12)
  4. Make certain membership state transitions work correctly again. (!16)
    • For example, it was previously impossible to unban users from rooms.
  5. Ensure that tracing-flame flushes all its data before the process exits. (!20 (263edcc))
  6. Reduce the likelihood of locking up the async runtime. (!19)
  7. Fix dynamically linked jemalloc builds. (!23)
  8. Fix search results not including subsequent pages in certain situations. (!35 (0cdf032))
  9. Fix search results missing events in subsequent pages in certain situations. (!35 (3551a6e))
  10. Only process admin commands if the admin bot is in the admin room. (!43)

Added

  1. Add various conveniences for users of the Nix package. (51f9650, bbb1a6f)
  2. Add a NixOS module. (33e7a46)
  3. Add a Conduit compat mode. (a25f2ec)
    • BREAKING: If you're migrating from Conduit, this option must be enabled or else your homeserver will refuse to start.
  4. Include GRAPEVINE_VERSION_EXTRA information in the /_matrix/federation/v1/version endpoint. (509b70b)
  5. Allow multiple tracing subscribers to be active at once. (!20 (7a154f74))
  6. Allow configuring the filter for tracing-flame. (!20 (507de06))
  7. Collect HTTP response time metrics via OpenTelemetry and optionally expose them as Prometheus metrics. This functionality is disabled by default. (!22)
  8. Collect metrics for lookup results (e.g. cache hits/misses). (!15, !36)
  9. Add configuration options for controlling the log format and colors. (!46)
  10. Recognize the !admin prefix to invoke admin commands. (!45)
