Bug description:
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.

accounts/-/blob/3.50.4/NEWS
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

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 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.

The backend library .symbols file indicates one removed symbol. It has
been upstream's opinion for many years that the backend library is
internal API and is subject to change. gnome-control-center is the
only user of the backend API for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and it never used
that symbol. There is a separate frontend library, libgoa-1.0-0b,
where it would be a serious issue if symbols were removed without the
soname being bumped.
