expressions.
(`3405 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3405>`_)
- Fix an issue with Storm Dmon hive storage being opened too late in the
Cortex startup sequence.
(`3411 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3411>`_)

(`3396 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3396>`_)
- See :ref:`userguide_model_v2_153_0` for more detailed model changes.

Features and Enhancements
-------------------------
- Add a new Storm API, ``$lib.cortex.httpapi``, for creating and managing
Extended HTTP API endpoints. These Cortex HTTP API endpoints allow a user to
create custom responses via Storm. Documentation for this feature can be
found at :ref:`devops-svc-cortex-ext-http`.
(`3366 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3366>`_)

display a barchart representing the values.
(`3385 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3385>`_)
- Update the Storm command ``auth.user.mod`` to allow setting a user as admin
on a specific auth gate.
(`3391 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3391>`_)
- The ``proxy`` argument to ``$lib.inet.http.*``, ``$lib.axon.wget()``,
``$lib.axon.urlfile()``, and ``$lib.axon.wput()`` APIs is now gated behind
the permission ``storm.lib.inet.http.proxy``. Previously this required
admin permission to utilize.
(`3397 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3397>`_)
- Add an ``errors`` parameter to ``$lib.axon.readlines()``,
``$lib.axon.csvrows()``, and ``$lib.axon.jsonlines()``. This parameter
defaults to ``ignore`` to ignore any decoding errors that are encountered
when decoding text.
(`3395 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3395>`_)
- Lower the maximum allowed version of the ``pyopenssl`` library.
(`3399 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3399>`_)

Bugfixes
--------
- Fix a bug in the ``Cortex.syncLayersEvents()`` and
``Cortex.syncIndexEvents()`` APIs which caused layers to stop sending their
node edits under certain conditions.
(`3394 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3394>`_)
- Storm now raises a ``BadSyntaxError`` when attempting to filter by wildcard
tags or tagprops when a value is specified for the filter.
(`3373 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3373>`_)

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

Model Changes

- See :ref:`userguide_model_v2_152_0` for more detailed model changes.

Features and Enhancements
-------------------------
- Update the Storm string repr for ``$lib.null`` and ``$lib.undef`` values to
``$lib.null`` and ``$lib.undef``. Previously these printed ``None`` and an
opaque Python object repr.
(`3361 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3361>`_)
- The ``synapse.tools.aha.list`` CLI tool now checks if it is connected to an
Aha server prior to enumerating Aha services.
(`3371 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3371>`_)

Bugfixes
--------

separation of events and nodes between the parent and sub-runtimes.
(`3379 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3379>`_)

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

Model Changes
-------------
- Update to the ``it`` model.
(`3361 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3361>`_)
- See :ref:`userguide_model_v2_151_0` for more detailed model changes.

Features and Enhancements
-------------------------
- Add a new Storm library ``$lib.infosec.mitre.attack.flow``. This can be used
to normalize and create ``it:mitre:attack:flow`` nodes from MITRE ATT&CK
Flow Diagrams.
(`3361 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3361>`_)
(`3372 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3372>`_)
- Update the Storm ``note.add`` command to set the ``meta:note:created``
property on the note.
(`3569 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3569>`_)
- Add the Axon HTTP APIs to the Cortex. These API endpoints use the Axon that
the Cortex is configured to use.
(`3550 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3550>`_)
- Allow user defined functions in Storm to execute in a ``readonly`` Storm
runtime.
(`3552 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3552>`_)
- Clarify the Nexus ``IsReadOnly`` exception to include the common cause for
the error, which is normally insufficent space on disk.
(`3359 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3359>`_)
- Add a ``SYN_LOG_DATEFORMAT`` environment variable to allow specifying custom
timestamp formats for Synapse services.
(`3362 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3362>`_)
- Add a ``status`` attribute to structured log events for user and role
related log events. This attribute indicates if the event was a ``CREATE``,
``DELETE``, or ``MODIFY`` operation.
(`3363 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3363>`_)
- Update ``Cell.getLogExtra()`` to prefer using the ``user`` key from the task
scope before using the ``sess`` key from the task scope. Cortex APIs which
execute Storm queries now set the ``user`` scope to the user the query is
running as. This increases the accuracy of log events caused by Storm
queries when the ``user`` is specified in the ``opts``.
(`3356 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3356>`_)
- Update Storm setitem AST operator to check the readonly flag on functions
when operating in a ``readonly`` Storm runtime.
(`3364 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3364>`_)

more than one layer in it omitted non-write layers. The set of layers is now
properly computed.
(`3354 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3354>`_)

Improved Documentation
----------------------
- Update the list of Cortex permissions in the Admin Guide.
(`3331 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3331>`_)
- The Form documentation has been updated to project the secondary properties
and associated light edges as tables.
(`3348 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3348>`_)

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

- Allow Storm trigger APIs to reference triggers from other views.
(`3342 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3342>`_)
- Update the ``synapse.lib.scrape`` and associated APIs to capture
additional data:
(`3223 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3223>`_)
(`3347 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3347>`_)

``it:sec:cpe``

(`3328 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3328>`_)

Bugfixes
--------
- Stormtypes ``stor`` functions were not previously checked during
``readonly`` runtime execution. These are now validated and ``stor``
functions which would result in changing data in the Cortex will now
raise an exception when used with a ``readonly`` Storm runtime.
(`3349 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3349>`_)

Improved Documentation
----------------------
- Update the list of Cortex permissions in the Admin Guide.

- Add best-effort support to scrape APIs to identify Windows and Linux file
paths.
(`3343 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3343>`_)
- Update the Storm ``view.add`` command to add a ``--worldreadable`` flag to
create a view which is readable by the ``all`` role. The ``$lib.view.add()``
Storm API now also accepts an optional ``worldreadable`` argument as well.
(`3333 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3333>`_)
- Update the Storm ``note.add`` command to add a ``--yield`` flag which yields
the newly created note.
(`3337 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3337>`_)
- Add Storm commands ``gen.ou.id.number`` and ``gen.ou.id.type`` to help
generate ``ou:id:number`` and ``ou:id:type`` nodes.
(`3339 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3339>`_)
- Support dynamically setting a Layer to ``readonly`` using the Storm
``$layer.set()`` API.
(`3332 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3332>`_)
- Update the Storm command ``help`` to display information about Storm types,
Storm Libraries and functions.
(`3335 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3335>`_)

Bugfixes
--------
- Ensure that the Cell ``tmp`` directory is on the same volume as the Cell
storage directory prior to attempting to run the onboot optimization
process. If the volumes are different this now issues a warning message and
skips the optimization process.
(`3336 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3336>`_)
- Protect the Cortex Cron scheduling loop from errors that could happen when
starting an agenda item.
