+Synapse 1.78.0rc1 (2023-02-21)
+==============================
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- Implement the experimental `exact_event_match` push rule condition from [MSC3758](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3758). ([\#14964](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14964))

+- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.74.0 where searching with colons when using ICU for search term tokenisation would fail with an error. ([\#15079](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15079))
+- Reduce the likelihood of a rare race condition where rejoining a restricted room over federation would fail. ([\#15080](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15080))
+- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.76 where workers would fail to start if the `health` listener was configured. ([\#15096](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15096))
