Synapse 1.51.0rc1 (2022-01-21)

==============================
 
 Features
 --------
 
 - Add `track_puppeted_user_ips` config flag to record client IP addresses against puppeted users, and include the puppeted users in monthly active user counts. ([\#11561](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11561), [\#11749](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11749), [\#11757](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11757))
 - Include whether the requesting user has participated in a thread when generating a summary for [MSC3440](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3440). ([\#11577](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11577))
 - Return an `M_FORBIDDEN` error code instead of `M_UNKNOWN` when a spam checker module prevents a user from creating a room. ([\#11672](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11672))
 - Add a flag to the `synapse_review_recent_signups` script to ignore and filter appservice users. ([\#11675](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11675), [\#11770](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11770))
 
 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))
 - Document the new `SYNAPSE_TEST_PERSIST_SQLITE_DB` environment variable in the contributing guide. ([\#11715](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11715))
 - Document that the minimum supported PostgreSQL version is now 10. ([\#11725](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11725))
 - Fix typo in demo docs: differnt. ([\#11735](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11735))
 - 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))
 - Update installation instructions to note that Python 3.6 is no longer supported. ([\#11781](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11781))

 -------------------------
 
 - Remove the unstable `/send_relation` endpoint. ([\#11682](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11682))
 - Remove `python_twisted_reactor_pending_calls` Prometheus metric. ([\#11724](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11724))
