+# Synapse 1.107.0rc1 (2024-05-07)
+
+### Features
+
+- Add preliminary support for [MSC3823: Account Suspension](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3823). ([\#17051](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17051))
+- Declare support for [Matrix v1.10](https://matrix.org/blog/2024/03/22/matrix-v1.10-release/). Contributed by @clokep. ([\#17082](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17082))
+- Add support for [MSC4115: membership metadata on events](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4115). ([\#17104](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17104), [\#17137](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17137))
+
+### Bugfixes
+
+- Fixed search feature of Element Android on homesevers using SQLite by returning search terms as search highlights. ([\#17000](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17000))
+- Fixes a bug introduced in v1.52.0 where the `destination` query parameter for the  [Destination Rooms Admin API](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/v1.105/usage/administration/admin_api/federation.html#destination-rooms) failed to actually filter returned rooms. ([\#17077](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17077))
+- For MSC3266 room summaries, support queries at the recommended endpoint of `/_matrix/client/unstable/im.nheko.summary/summary/{roomIdOrAlias}`. The existing endpoint of `/_matrix/client/unstable/im.nheko.summary/rooms/{roomIdOrAlias}/summary` is deprecated. ([\#17078](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17078))
+- Apply user email & picture during OIDC registration if present & selected. ([\#17120](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17120))
+- Improve error message for cross signing reset with [MSC3861](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3861) enabled. ([\#17121](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17121))
+- Fix a bug which meant that to-device messages received over federation could be dropped when the server was under load or networking problems caused problems between Synapse processes or the database. ([\#17127](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17127))
+- Fix bug where `StreamChangeCache` would not respect configured cache factors. ([\#17152](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17152))
+
+### Updates to the Docker image
+
+- Correct licensing metadata on Docker image. ([\#17141](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17141))
+
+### Improved Documentation
+
+- Update the `event_cache_size` and `global_factor` configuration options' documentation. ([\#17071](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17071))
+- Remove broken sphinx docs. ([\#17073](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17073), [\#17148](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17148))
+- Add RuntimeDirectory to example matrix-synapse.service systemd unit. ([\#17084](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17084))
+- Fix various small typos throughout the docs. ([\#17114](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17114))
+- Update enable_notifs configuration documentation. ([\#17116](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17116))
+- Update the Upgrade Notes with the latest minimum supported Rust version of 1.66.0. Contributed by @jahway603. ([\#17140](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17140))
+
+### Internal Changes
+
+- Enable [MSC3266](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3266) by default in the Synapse Complement image. ([\#17105](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17105))
