+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Fix detection of out of sync remote device lists when receiving events from remote users. ([\#7815](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7815))
+- Fix bug where Synapse fails to process an incoming event over federation if the server is missing too much of the event's auth chain. ([\#7817](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7817))
+- Fix a bug causing Synapse to misinterpret the value `off` for `encryption_enabled_by_default_for_room_type` in its configuration file(s) if that value isn't surrounded by quotes. This bug was introduced in v1.16.0. ([\#7822](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7822))

+- Errors which occur while using the non-standard JWT login now return the proper error: `403 Forbidden` with an error code of `M_FORBIDDEN`. ([\#7844](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7844))
+- Fix "AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'" error message when applying per-room message retention policies. The bug was introduced in Synapse 1.7.0. ([\#7850](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7850))
