Synapse 1.50.0 (2022-01-18)
===========================

Please note that we now only support Python 3.7+ and PostgreSQL 10+ (if applicable), because Python 3.6 and PostgreSQL 9.6 have reached end-of-life.

No significant changes since 1.50.0rc2.

Synapse 1.50.0rc2 (2022-01-14)
==============================

This release candidate fixes a federation-breaking regression introduced in Synapse 1.50.0rc1.

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.0.0 whereby some device list updates would not be sent to remote homeservers if there were too many to send at once. ([\matrix-org#11729](matrix-org#11729))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.50.0rc1 whereby outbound federation could fail because too many EDUs were produced for device updates. ([\matrix-org#11730](matrix-org#11730))

Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Document that now the minimum supported PostgreSQL version is 10. ([\matrix-org#11725](matrix-org#11725))

Internal Changes
----------------

- Fix a typechecker problem related to our (ab)use of `nacl.signing.SigningKey`s. ([\matrix-org#11714](matrix-org#11714))

- Fix a long-standing bug which could cause `AssertionError`s to be written to the log when Synapse was restarted after purging events from the database. ([\matrix-org#11536](matrix-org#11536), [\matrix-org#11642](matrix-org#11642))
