These are currently duplicated in mk/platform/SunOS.mk but the generic
removals will be removed soon in favour of per-package removals, due to
flags getting leaked into installed files.
This had MESSAGE to given an example config generation command (which
probably follows upstream docs), and to warn about the deficient
sqlite in NetBSD base. Move them to files/ and install as
documentation. Add a caution to the Makefile near the sqlite include.
(It remains to actually fix the sqlite issue.)

Synapse 1.67.0 (2022-09-13)
===========================
This release removes using the deprecated direct TCP replication configuration
for workers. Server admins should use Redis instead. See the [upgrade
notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.67/upgrade.html#upgrading-to-v1670).
The minimum version of `poetry` supported for managing source checkouts is now
1.2.0. [[pkgsrc does not seem to "manage source checkouts"]]
Features
--------
- Support setting the registration shared secret in a file, via a new
`registration_shared_secret_path` configuration
option.
- Change the default startup behaviour so that any missing
"additional" configuration files (signing key, etc) are generated
automatically.
- Improve performance of sending messages in rooms with thousands of
local.
Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
- Drop support for calling `/_matrix/client/v3/rooms/{roomId}/invite`
without an `id_access_token`, which was not permitted by the
spec. Contributed by @Vetchu.
- Remove redundant `_get_joined_users_from_context` cache. Contributed
by Nick @ Beeper (@fizzadar).
- Remove the ability to use direct TCP replication with
workers. Direct TCP replication was deprecated in Synapse
v1.18.0. Workers now require using Redis.
- Remove support for unstable [private read
receipts](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/2285).

Changes since 8.2.42:
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.43 (2022-09-26)
* Due to ongoing protocol modernizations and deprecation of old backwards
compatibility code, ircd-hybrid is now no longer link compatible to
8.2.33 and below. As for the Anope IRC Services, 2.0.8 is the minimum
supported version now.
* Implemented channel mode `V`. `INVITE` cannot be used on channels with
that mode set.
* `WHOIS` on clients connected via TLS now also shows some details about
the TLS version and cipher being used
* Removed user mode `d` (debugging notices)
senpai - a modern terminal IRC client.
senpai is an IRC client that works best with bouncers:
- no logs are kept,
- history is fetched from the server via [CHATHISTORY],
- networks are fetched from the server via [bouncer-networks].
Changes since 8.2.41:
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.42 (2022-08-28)
* Added support for reproducible builds using the `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` environment
variable. See https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/source-date-epoch/ for more
information.
* Extban `$Q` of type acting has been implemented. This extban prevents
matching users from using the `KICK` command.
* Implemented channel mode `Q`. `KICK` cannot be used on channels with that mode set.
* Implemented user mode `Z`. Users with that mode set may only receive private
messages from other users that are connected via TLS.
* Fixed issue where `WHO nick` on invisible clients (user mode i`) wouldn't work
The changes here are:
* prosody can be built with Lua 5.4 (as recommended since the 0.12
series), also thanks to lua-unbound being available for Lua 5.4
* the prosody user's home directory is back to the default /nonexistent
(prosody finds its own data directory nonetheless, as it is a
compile-time option)
* the corresponding directories created (data directory, PID directory,
logging) do not seem to actually require write access (or not anymore)
These last two changes together get rid of the security report "user
prosody home directory is group writable" from the daily insecurity
checks on NetBSD.
Tested on NetBSD/amd64.
The package changed with the addition of its libepoll-shim dependency.
Otherwise, we can get:
ERROR: libepoll-shim>=0.0.20210418 is not installed; can't buildlink files.
Changes since 8.2.40:
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.41 (2022-07-15)
* Fixed issue where WHO didn't work on channel names with two or more
consequent asterisk characters
* IRCv3 WHOX has been implemented. See doc/who.txt for more information
about the new WHO options and features.
* Clients that are connected via TLS are now flagged with the letter S in
the who reply
