Synapse

====================

Features and Enhancements
-------------------------
- Increase the verbosity of logging statements related to Cell backup
operations. This allows for better visibility into what is happening
while a backup is occurring.
(`2124 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2124>`_)
- Add Telepath and Storm APIs for setting all the roles of a User at once.
(`2127 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2127>`_)
- Expose the Synapse package commit hash over Telepath and Stormtypes.
(`2133 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2133>`_)

Bugfixes
--------
- Increase the process spawn timeout for Cell backup operations. Prevent the
Cell backup from grabbing lmdb transactions for slabs in the cell local tmp
directory.

====================

Bugfixes
--------
- Fix a formatting issue preventing Python packages from being uploaded to
PyPI.
(`2131 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2131>`_)

====================

Features and Enhancements
-------------------------
- Add initial capability for exporting STIX 2.1 from the Cortex.
(`2120 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2120>`_)
- Refactor how lift APIs are implemented, moving them up to the Cortex itself.
This results in multi-layer lifts now yielding nodes in a sorted order.
(`2093 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2093>`_)
(`2128 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2128>`_)
- Add ``$lib.range()`` Storm function to generate ranges of integers.
(`2122 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2122>`_)
- Add an ``errok`` option to the ``$lib.time.parse()`` Storm function to
allow the function to return ``$lib.null`` if the time string fails to
parse.
(`2126 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2126>`_)
- Don't execute Cron jobs, Triggers, or StormDmons for locked users.
(`2123 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2123>`_)
(`2129 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2129>`_)
- The ``git`` commit hash is now embedded into the ``synapse.lib.version``
module when building PyPi packages and Docker images.
(`2119 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2119>`_)

Improved Documentation
----------------------
- Update Axon wget API documentation to note that we always store the body of
the HTTP response, regardless of status code.
(`2125 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2125>`_)

====================

Features and Enhancements
-------------------------
- Add ``$lib.trycast()`` to allow for Storm control flow based on type
normalization.
(`2113 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2113>`_)

Bugfixes
--------
- Resolve a bug related to pivoting to a secondary property that is an
array value.
(`2111 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2111>`_)
- Fix an issue with Aha and persisting the online state of services upon
startup.
(`2103 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2103>`_)
- Convert the type of ``inet:web:acct:singup:client:ipv6`` from a
``inet:ipv4`` to an ``inet:ipv6``.
(`2114 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2114>`_)
- Fix an idempotency issue when deleting a custom form.
(`2112 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2112>`_)

Improved Documentation
----------------------
- Update README.rst.
(`2115 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2115>`_)
(`2117 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2117>`_)
(`2116 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2116>`_)

====================

This release includes a Cortex storage Layer bugfix. It does an automatic
upgrade upon startup to identify and correct invalid array index values.
Depending on time needed to perform this automatic upgrade, the Cortex may
appear unresponsive. Deployments with startup or liveliness probes should
have those disabled while this upgrade is performed to prevent accidental
termination of the Cortex process.

Features and Enhancements
-------------------------
- Add a ``reverse`` argument to ``$lib.sorted()`` to allow a Storm user
to easily reverse an iterable item.
(`2109 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2109>`_)
- Update minimum required versions of Tornado and PyYAML.
(`2108 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2108>`_)

Bugfixes
--------
- Fix an issue with Array property type deletion not properly deleting values
in the ``byarray`` index. This requires an automatic data migration done at
Cortex startup to remove extra index values which may be present in the
index.
(`2104 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2104>`_)
(`2106 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2106>`_)
- Fix issues with using the Storm ``?=`` operator with types which can
generate multiple values from a given input string when making nodes.
(`2105 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2105>`_)
(`2107 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2107>`_)

Improved Documentation
----------------------
- Add Devops documentation explaining our Docker container offerings.
(`2104 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2104>`_)
(`2110 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2110>`_)

====================

Bugfixes
--------
- Fix ``$lib.model.prop()`` API when called with a universal property.
It now returns ``$lib.null`` instead of raising an exception.
(`2100 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2100>`_)
- Fix the streaming backup API when used with Telepath and SSL.
(`2101 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2101>`_)

Improved Documentation
----------------------
- Add API documentation for the Axon.
(`2098 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2098>`_)
- Update the Storm pivot reference documentation.
(`2101 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/2101>`_)
