+Synapse 1.49.0rc1 (2021-12-07)
+==============================
+
+We've decided to move the existing, somewhat stagnant pages from the GitHub wiki
+to the [documentation website](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/).
+
+This was done for two reasons. The first was to ensure that changes are checked by
+multiple authors before being committed (everyone makes mistakes!) and the second
+was visibility of the documentation. Not everyone knows that Synapse has some very
+useful information hidden away in its GitHub wiki pages. Bringing them to the
+documentation website should help with visibility, as well as keep all Synapse documentation
+in one, easily-searchable location.
+
+Note that contributions to the documentation website happen through [GitHub pull
+requests](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pulls). Please visit [#synapse-dev:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#synapse-dev:matrix.org)
+if you need help with the process!
+
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- Add [MSC3030](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3030) experimental client and federation API endpoints to get the closest event to a given timestamp. ([\#9445](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9445))
+- Include bundled relation aggregations during a limited `/sync` request and `/relations` request, per [MSC2675](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2675). ([\#11284](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11284), [\#11478](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11478))
+- Add plugin support for controlling database background updates. ([\#11306](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11306), [\#11475](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11475), [\#11479](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11479))
+- Support the stable API endpoints for [MSC2946](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2946): the room `/hierarchy` endpoint. ([\#11329](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11329))

+- Support expiry of refresh tokens and expiry of the overall session when refresh tokens are in use. ([\#11425](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11425))
+- Stabilise support for [MSC2918](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/main/proposals/2918-refreshtokens.md#msc2918-refresh-tokens) refresh tokens as they have now been merged into the Matrix specification.
