Please note that this will be the last release of Synapse that is compatible with Mjolnir 1.3.1 and earlier.
Administrators of servers which have the Mjolnir module installed are advised to upgrade Mjolnir to version 1.3.2 or later.
Features
--------
- Add support for MSC3202: sending one-time key counts and fallback key usage states to Application Services. ([\#11617](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11617))
- Add support for [MSC3202](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3202): sending one-time key counts and fallback key usage states to Application Services. ([\#11617](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11617))
- Make a `POST` to `/rooms/<room_id>/receipt/m.read/<event_id>` only trigger a push notification if the count of unread messages is different to the one in the last successfully sent push. ([\#11835](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11835))
- Fetch images when previewing Twitter URLs. Contributed by @AndrewRyanChama. ([\#11985](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11985))
- Track cache invalidations in Prometheus metrics, as already happens for cache eviction based on size or time. ([\#12000](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12000))

- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.48.0 where an edit of the latest event in a thread would not be properly applied to the thread summary. ([\#11992](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11992))
- Fix long standing bug where `get_rooms_for_user` was not correctly invalidated for remote users when the server left a room. ([\#11999](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11999))
- Fix 500 error with Postgres when looking backwards with the [MSC3030](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3030) `/timestamp_to_event?dir=b` endpoint. ([\#12024](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12024))
- Properly fix a long-standing bug where wrong data could be inserted in the `event_search` table when using sqlite. This could block running `synapse_port_db` with an "argument of type 'int' is not iterable" error. This bug was partially fixed by a change in Synapse 1.44.0.

- Fix slow performance of `/logout` in some cases where refresh tokens are in use. The slowness existed since the initial implementation of refresh tokens. ([\#12056](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12056))
- Fix a long-standing bug where Synapse would make additional failing requests over federation for missing data. ([\#12077](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12077))
- Fix occasional 'Unhandled error in Deferred' error message. ([\#12089](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12089))

Updates to the Docker image
---------------------------
- The docker image no longer automatically creates a temporary volume at `/data`. This is not expected to affect normal usage. ([\#11997](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11997))
