+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Fix a long-standing bug which allowed hidden devices to receive to-device messages, resulting in unnecessary database bloat. ([\#10097](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10097))
+- Fix a long-standing bug where messages in the `device_inbox` table for deleted devices would persist indefinitely. Contributed by @dklimpel and @JohannesKleine. ([\#10969](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10969), [\#11212](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11212))
+- Do not accept events if a third-party rule module API callback raises an exception. ([\#11033](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11033))
+- Fix long-standing bug where verification requests could fail in certain cases if whitelist was in place but did not include your own homeserver. ([\#11129](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11129))
+- Allow an empty list of `state_events_at_start` to be sent when using the [MSC2716](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2716) `/batch_send` endpoint and the author of the historical messages is already part of the current room state at the given `?prev_event_id`. ([\#11188](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11188))
+- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.45.0 which prevented the `synapse_review_recent_signups` script from running. Contributed by @samuel-p. ([\#11191](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11191))
+- Delete `to_device` messages for hidden devices that will never be read, reducing database size. ([\#11199](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11199))
+- Fix a long-standing bug wherein a missing `Content-Type` header when downloading remote media would cause Synapse to throw an error. ([\#11200](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11200))
+- Fix a long-standing bug which could result in serialization errors and potentially duplicate transaction data when sending ephemeral events to application services. Contributed by @Fizzadar at Beeper. ([\#11207](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11207))
+- Fix a bug introduced in 1.35.0 which made it impossible to join rooms that return a `send_join` response containing floats. ([\#11217](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11217))
+- Fix long-standing bug where cross signing keys were not included in the response to `/r0/keys/query` the first time a remote user was queried. ([\#11234](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11234))
+- Fix a long-standing bug where all requests that read events from the database could get stuck as a result of losing the database connection. ([\#11240](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11240))
+- Fix rolling back Synapse version when using workers. ([\#11255](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11255), [\#11276](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11276))
+- Fix a bug where if a remote event is being processed by a worker when it gets killed then it won't get processed on restart. Introduced in v1.37.1. ([\#11262](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11262))
+
+
+Updates to the Docker image
