Minor corrections and advice... Should help beginners.

README.rst Outdated
This will run a process of downloading and installing all the needed
dependencies into a virtual env.

Some of the dependencies might have to be installed manually, if you run into errors just install the dependency that is mentioned in the error manually.

I'm curious - in what case was this necessary for you? What errors did you see?

Someone answered this in #synapse-dev, stating that it helped to install dependencies individually when using export HTTP_PROXY on their system.

I'm aware this can also be an issue with resource-constrained devices - installing everyone at once can cause pip to overwhelm the system's available memory.

I don't remember the exact modules that were necessary, but there were definitely a few...

I think these changes, however minor, will help reduce friction of this particular process.

I added some minor additions to language and layout 🙂

Thank you for your contribution! 🎉

This should probably be changed on the python page and on the main branch as well, they're all out if sync anyway, thanks for the rewording!

Not to worry, both of these will update automatically when the next release of Synapse lands :)

Synapse 1.23.0 (2020-11-18)
===========================

This release changes the way structured logging is configured. See the [upgrade notes](UPGRADE.rst#upgrading-to-v1230) for details.

**Note**: We are aware of a trivially exploitable denial of service vulnerability in versions of Synapse prior to 1.20.0. Complete details will be disclosed on Monday, November 23rd. If you have not upgraded recently, please do so.

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a dependency versioning bug in the Dockerfile that prevented Synapse from starting. ([\#8767](matrix-org/synapse#8767))


Synapse 1.23.0rc1 (2020-11-13)
==============================

Features
--------

- Add a push rule that highlights when a jitsi conference is created in a room. ([\#8286](matrix-org/synapse#8286))
- Add an admin api to delete a single file or files that were not used for a defined time from server. Contributed by @dklimpel. ([\#8519](matrix-org/synapse#8519))
- Split admin API for reported events (`GET /_synapse/admin/v1/event_reports`) into detail and list endpoints. This is a breaking change to #8217 which was introduced in Synapse v1.21.0. Those who already use this API should check their scripts. Contributed by @dklimpel. ([\#8539](matrix-org/synapse#8539))
- Support generating structured logs via the standard logging configuration. ([\#8607](matrix-org/synapse#8607), [\#8685](matrix-org/synapse#8685))
- Add an admin API to allow server admins to list users' pushers. Contributed by @dklimpel. ([\#8610](matrix-org/synapse#8610), [\#8689](matrix-org/synapse#8689))
- Add an admin API `GET /_synapse/admin/v1/users/<user_id>/media` to get information about uploaded media. Contributed by @dklimpel. ([\#8647](matrix-org/synapse#8647))
- Add an admin API for local user media statistics. Contributed by @dklimpel. ([\#8700](matrix-org/synapse#8700))
- Add `displayname` to Shared-Secret Registration for admins. ([\#8722](matrix-org/synapse#8722))


Bugfixes
--------

- Fix fetching of E2E cross signing keys over federation when only one of the master key and device signing key is cached already. ([\#8455](matrix-org/synapse#8455))
- Fix a bug where Synapse would blindly forward bad responses from federation to clients when retrieving profile information. ([\#8580](matrix-org/synapse#8580))
- Fix a bug where the account validity endpoint would silently fail if the user ID did not have an expiration time. It now returns a 400 error. ([\#8620](matrix-org/synapse#8620))
- Fix email notifications for invites without local state. ([\#8627](matrix-org/synapse#8627))
- Fix handling of invalid group IDs to return a 400 rather than log an exception and return a 500. ([\#8628](matrix-org/synapse#8628))
- Fix handling of User-Agent headers that are invalid UTF-8, which caused user agents of users to not get correctly recorded. ([\#8632](matrix-org/synapse#8632))
- Fix a bug in the `joined_rooms` admin API if the user has never joined any rooms. The bug was introduced, along with the API, in v1.21.0. ([\#8643](matrix-org/synapse#8643))
- Fix exception during handling multiple concurrent requests for remote media when using multiple media repositories. ([\#8682](matrix-org/synapse#8682))
- Fix bug that prevented Synapse from recovering after losing connection to the database. ([\#8726](matrix-org/synapse#8726))
- Fix bug where the `/_synapse/admin/v1/send_server_notice` API could send notices to non-notice rooms. ([\#8728](matrix-org/synapse#8728))
- Fix PostgreSQL port script fails when DB has no backfilled events. Broke in v1.21.0. ([\#8729](matrix-org/synapse#8729))
- Fix PostgreSQL port script to correctly handle foreign key constraints. Broke in v1.21.0. ([\#8730](matrix-org/synapse#8730))
- Fix PostgreSQL port script so that it can be run again after a failure. Broke in v1.21.0. ([\#8755](matrix-org/synapse#8755))
