 > * Guests can now use the new media endpoints to download media, as described by [MSC4189](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4189)
 > * Add initial implementation of delayed events as proposed by [MSC4140](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4140)
 > * Add implementation of restricting who can overwrite a state event as proposed by [MSC3757](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3757)
 > * Add an asynchronous Admin API endpoint [to redact all of a user's events](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/v1.116/admin_api/user_admin_api.html#redact-all-the-events-of-a-user), and [an endpoint to check on the status of that redaction task](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/v1.116/admin_api/user_admin_api.html#check-the-status-of-a-redaction-process)

 > * We switched to the glycin library (the same one used by GNOME Image Viewer) to load images, allowing us to fix several issues, like supporting more animated formats and SVGs and respecting EXIF orientation.
 > * The annoying bug where some rooms would stay as unread even after opening them is now a distant memory.
 > * The media cache uses its own database that you can delete if you want to free some space on your system. It will also soon be able to clean up unused media files to prevent it from growing indefinitely.
 > * Sometimes the day separators would show up with the wrong date, not anymore!
 > * We migrated to the new GTK 4.16 and libadwaita 1.6 APIs, including CSS variables, AdwButtonRow and AdwSpinner.

 > A while back, we at [etke.cc announced our Synapse-Admin fork](https://etke.cc/news/xueua5a7nvgjzxldyu52gkw7viftcthp8cz-m3dyi_8/?utm_source=twim&utm_medium=matrix&utm_campaign=synapse-admin), and this week we're excited to share two major updates:
-> 
+>
 > * **Upgrade to React Admin v5**
 > * **Restrictions on modifying specific users**
-> 
+>
 > The React Admin upgrade enhances the Synapse-Admin UI experience, especially if you found the previous dark theme too high-contrast.
-> 
+>
 > The second update is a quality-of-life improvement you've always wanted but may not have known you needed. 🙂
-> 
+>
 > Previously, we introduced a feature to prevent users from accidentally deleting their sole homeserver administrator account.
-> 
+>
 > Now, we're addressing another common issue: inadvertently altering system user accounts managed by appservices (such as bridges and bots). Editing, deleting, locking, or changing the passwords of these appservice-managed accounts can cause serious problems. To prevent this, we've added a new feature that blocks these types of modifications to such accounts, while still allowing other risk-free changes (changing display names and avatars). By defining a list of MXID regex patterns in the new `asManagedUsers` configuration setting, you can protect these accounts from accidental changes.
-> 
+>
 > If you're using [matrix-docker-ansible-deploy](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/), the playbook automatically handles this configuration setting to ensure appservice-managed user accounts remain safe.
