The main use case is to see how many requests are being made, and how
many are second/third/etc attempts. If there are large number of retries
then that likely indicates a delivery problem.

Note: the histogram metrics here is a bit counter intuitive as it is counting the number of total requests, rather how many attempts in a single session. This means that if you have an entry at 5 then you'll also have entries at 1, 2 and 3, which may make consuming this metrics a bit harder than otherwise. However, basing it on session would be quite tricky to implement.

Does part of #8709.

This will probably work, but I could forsee some problems with untrusted data coming from clients.

It's worth noting that the spec allows client to put any integer for send_attempt, which may generate incorrect metric results. I'm not sure if known good clients converge on the same behaviour as a result.

Additionally, it looks as though we don't even check if this value is an integer...

TBH I think I'm fine with that. I believe the code would have exploded before if the client didn't give it an int since the DB uses an int field.

Ah, yes good point, this would be on the other side of the DB.

On the "any integer" bit, we concluded in #synapse-dev that most clients start from 1, which will yield uniform metrics, and some outliers are no big deal.

Synapse 1.23.0 (2020-11-18)
===========================

This release changes the way structured logging is configured. See the [upgrade notes](UPGRADE.rst#upgrading-to-v1230) for details.

**Note**: We are aware of a trivially exploitable denial of service vulnerability in versions of Synapse prior to 1.20.0. Complete details will be disclosed on Monday, November 23rd. If you have not upgraded recently, please do so.

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a dependency versioning bug in the Dockerfile that prevented Synapse from starting. ([\#8767](matrix-org/synapse#8767))


Synapse 1.23.0rc1 (2020-11-13)
==============================

Features
--------

- Add a push rule that highlights when a jitsi conference is created in a room. ([\#8286](matrix-org/synapse#8286))
- Add an admin api to delete a single file or files that were not used for a defined time from server. Contributed by @dklimpel. ([\#8519](matrix-org/synapse#8519))
- Split admin API for reported events (`GET /_synapse/admin/v1/event_reports`) into detail and list endpoints. This is a breaking change to #8217 which was introduced in Synapse v1.21.0. Those who already use this API should check their scripts. Contributed by @dklimpel. ([\#8539](matrix-org/synapse#8539))
- Support generating structured logs via the standard logging configuration. ([\#8607](matrix-org/synapse#8607), [\#8685](matrix-org/synapse#8685))
- Add an admin API to allow server admins to list users' pushers. Contributed by @dklimpel. ([\#8610](matrix-org/synapse#8610), [\#8689](matrix-org/synapse#8689))
- Add an admin API `GET /_synapse/admin/v1/users/<user_id>/media` to get information about uploaded media. Contributed by @dklimpel. ([\#8647](matrix-org/synapse#8647))
- Add an admin API for local user media statistics. Contributed by @dklimpel. ([\#8700](matrix-org/synapse#8700))
- Add `displayname` to Shared-Secret Registration for admins. ([\#8722](matrix-org/synapse#8722))


Bugfixes
--------

- Fix fetching of E2E cross signing keys over federation when only one of the master key and device signing key is cached already. ([\#8455](matrix-org/synapse#8455))
- Fix a bug where Synapse would blindly forward bad responses from federation to clients when retrieving profile information. ([\#8580](matrix-org/synapse#8580))
- Fix a bug where the account validity endpoint would silently fail if the user ID did not have an expiration time. It now returns a 400 error. ([\#8620](matrix-org/synapse#8620))
- Fix email notifications for invites without local state. ([\#8627](matrix-org/synapse#8627))
- Fix handling of invalid group IDs to return a 400 rather than log an exception and return a 500. ([\#8628](matrix-org/synapse#8628))
- Fix handling of User-Agent headers that are invalid UTF-8, which caused user agents of users to not get correctly recorded. ([\#8632](matrix-org/synapse#8632))
- Fix a bug in the `joined_rooms` admin API if the user has never joined any rooms. The bug was introduced, along with the API, in v1.21.0. ([\#8643](matrix-org/synapse#8643))
