Synapse 1.50.0 (2022-01-18)
===========================

Please note that we now only support Python 3.7+ and PostgreSQL 10+ (if applicable), because Python 3.6 and PostgreSQL 9.6 have reached end-of-life.

No significant changes since 1.50.0rc2.

==============================

This release candidate fixes a federation-breaking regression introduced in Synapse 1.50.0rc1.

Bugfixes
