** Description changed:

  Impact
  ======
  This is a new bugfix release in the stable 3.50.x series.
  
  It significantly improves the usability of the new "Microsoft 365"
  provider. However, that UI improvement changed translatable strings. See
  Other Info below.

  It also improves the new WebDAV account type for Fastmail users. LP:
  #2072775
  
  Test Cases
  ==========
  The autopkgtests for gnome-online-accounts should complete successfully
  
  Complete Test Case 2 (Google) from
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/OnlineAccounts
  
  What Could Go Wrong
  ===================
  gnome-online-accounts is included by default in Ubuntu Desktop, Edubuntu, 
Ubuntu Budgie & Ubuntu Cinnamon.
  
  If gnome-online-accounts is broken, people using Ubuntu may not receive
  notifications for emails and calendar appointments. This can be
  mitigated somewhat by using online services via a web browser and
  enabling notifications in their web browser.
  
  Before Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, gnome-online-accounts used webkit2gtk to handle
  authentication. By using the browser, gnome-online-accounts can handle
  many additional types of authentication and is more resilient to API
  changes and restrictions from the online service providers.
  
  GNOME Online Accounts is part of GNOME Core and is included in the GNOME
  micro release exception

  Other Info
  ==========
  This update includes changes to translatable strings. This package uses 
Ubuntu language packs. Because language packs are only updated shortly before 
each Ubuntu LTS point release, ideally this update will be included before the 
language packs are updated.
  
  The Ubuntu Desktop team considers the effect of changing translatable
  strings to be low because the changed strings were very new and weren't
- translated much. The updated strings have been available upstream since
- late May and the translation coverage is better although still
+ translated much. The strings are part of the Microsoft 365 feature that
+ is new in GNOME 46. The updated strings have been available upstream
+ since late May and the translation coverage is better although still
  incomplete. We will likely do another SRU to include another upstream
  bugfix release (with updated translations) before Ubuntu 24.04.2.
+ 
+ An update to translatable strings like this after a GNOME .0 release is
+ very unusual. However, it was approved by the GNOME Release Team.
