Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a long-standing issue which could cause Synapse to incorrectly accept data in the unsigned field of events
  received over federation. ([\#11530](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11530))
- Fix a long-standing bug where Synapse wouldn't cache a response indicating that a remote user has no devices. ([\#11587](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11587))
- Fix an error that occurs whilst trying to get the federation status of a destination server that was working normally. This admin API was newly introduced in Synapse v1.49.0. ([\#11593](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11593))
- Fix bundled aggregations not being included in the `/sync` response, per [MSC2675](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2675). ([\#11612](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11612), [\#11659](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11659), [\#11791](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11791))
- Fix the `/_matrix/client/v1/room/{roomId}/hierarchy` endpoint returning incorrect fields which have been present since Synapse 1.49.0. ([\#11667](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11667))
- Fix preview of some GIF URLs (like tenor.com). Contributed by Philippe Daouadi. ([\#11669](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11669))
- Fix a bug where only the first 50 rooms from a space were returned from the `/hierarchy` API. This has existed since the introduction of the API in Synapse v1.41.0. ([\#11695](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11695))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.18.0 where password reset and address validation emails would not be sent if their subject was configured to use the 'app' template variable. Contributed by @br4nnigan. ([\#11710](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11710), [\#11745](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11745))
- Make the 'List Rooms' Admin API sort stable. Contributed by Daniël Sonck. ([\#11737](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11737))
- Fix a long-standing bug where space hierarchy over federation would only work correctly some of the time. ([\#11775](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11775))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.46.0 that prevented `on_logged_out` module callbacks from being correctly awaited by Synapse. ([\#11786](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11786))

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

- Warn against using a Let's Encrypt certificate for TLS/DTLS TURN server client connections, and suggest using ZeroSSL certificate instead. This works around client-side connectivity errors caused by WebRTC libraries that reject Let's Encrypt certificates. Contibuted by @AndrewFerr. ([\#11686](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11686))

- Update room spec URL in config files. ([\#11739](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11739))
- Mention `python3-venv` and `libpq-dev` dependencies in the contribution guide. ([\#11740](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11740))
- Update documentation for configuring login with Facebook. ([\#11755](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11755))
