==============================

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a bug introduced in 1.47.0rc1 which prevented the 'remove deleted devices from `device_inbox` column' background process from running when updating from a recent Synapse version. ([\#11303](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11303), [\#11353](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11353))
