 In addition to the below, Synapse 1.20.0rc5 also includes the bug fix that was included in 1.19.3.
 
 Features
 --------
 
 - Add flags to the `/versions` endpoint for whether new rooms default to using E2EE. ([\#8343](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8343))
 
 Bugfixes
 --------
 
 - Fix rate limiting of federation `/send` requests. ([\#8342](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8342))
 - Fix a longstanding bug where back pagination over federation could get stuck if it failed to handle a received event. ([\#8349](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8349))
 
 Internal Changes
 ----------------
 
 - Blacklist [MSC2753](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2753) SyTests until it is implemented. ([\#8285](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8285))
