v1.2.1

Added

• Added a new tool, export_synapse_for_import, which can be used to do an offline import from Synapse.
  • After running this tool, use the gdpr_import tool to bring the export into the media repo.
• Added thumbnailing support for some audio waveforms (MP3, WAV, OGG, and FLAC).
• Added audio metadata (duration, etc) to the unstable /info endpoint. Aligns with MSC2380.
• Added simple thumbnailing for MP4 videos.
• Added an asAttachment query parameter to download requests per MSC2702.

Fixed

• Fixed thumbnails for invalid JPEGs.
• Fixed incorrect metrics being published when using the Redis cache.
• Fixed errors generating thumbnails when bad EXIF headers were provided.
• Use r0 instead of v1 for federation requests. No changes should be needed to configurations or routing - it'll just work.

v1.2.0

Upgrade notes

This release contains a database change which might take a while. In order to support quotas, this
release tracks how much a user has uploaded, which might take a while to initially calculate. If you have
a large database (more than about 100k uploaded files), run the following steps before upgrading:

1. The PostgreSQL script described here.
   This can be run while the server is running.
2. If you have no intention of using stats or quotas, you're done (the stats table will be inaccurate). If
   you do plan on using either, run INSERT INTO user_stats SELECT user_id, SUM(size_bytes) FROM media GROUP BY user_id;
   which may take a while.
3. Change the owner of the table and function to your media repo's postgresql user. For example, if your postgres
   user is media, then run:

   ALTER TABLE user_stats OWNER TO media;
   ALTER FUNCTION track_update_user_media() OWNER TO media;
