+# Synapse 1.103.0rc1 (2024-03-12)
+
+### Features
+
+- Add a new [List Accounts v3](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/v1.103/admin_api/user_admin_api.html#list-accounts-v3) Admin API with improved deactivated user filtering capabilities. ([\#16874](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/16874))
+- Include `Retry-After` header by default per [MSC4041](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4041). Contributed by @clokep. ([\#16947](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/16947))
+
+### Bugfixes
+
+- Fix joining remote rooms when a module uses the `on_new_event` callback. This callback may now pass partial state events instead of the full state for remote rooms. Introduced in v1.76.0. ([\#16973](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/16973))
+
+### Improved Documentation
+
+- Add HAProxy example for single port operation to reverse proxy documentation. Contributed by Georg Pfuetzenreuter (@tacerus). ([\#16768](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/16768))
+- Improve the documentation around running Complement tests with new configuration parameters. ([\#16946](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/16946))
+- Add docs on upgrading from a very old version. ([\#16951](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/16951))
