+# Synapse 1.114.0rc1 (2024-08-20)
+
+### Bugfixes
+
+- Start handlers for new media endpoints when media resource configured. ([\#17483](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17483))
+- Fix timeline ordering (using `stream_ordering` instead of topological ordering) in experimental [MSC3575](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3575) Sliding Sync `/sync` endpoint. ([\#17510](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17510))
+- Fix experimental sliding sync implementation to remember any updates in rooms that were not sent down immediately. ([\#17535](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17535))
+- Better exclude partially stated rooms if we must await full state in experimental [MSC3575](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3575) Sliding Sync `/sync` endpoint. ([\#17538](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17538))
+- Handle lower-case http headers in `_Mulitpart_Parser_Protocol`. ([\#17545](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17545))
+- Fix fetching federation signing keys from servers that omit `old_verify_keys`. Contributed by @tulir @ Beeper. ([\#17568](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17568))
+- Fix bug where we would respond with an error when a remote server asked for media that had a length of 0, using the new multipart federation media endpoint. ([\#17570](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17570))
+
+### Improved Documentation
+
+- Clarify default behaviour of the
+  [`auto_accept_invites.worker_to_run_on`](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/develop/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#auto-accept-invites)
+  option. ([\#17515](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17515))
