Enable support for MSC3952: intentional mentions. (#15520)
Experimental MSC3861 support: delegate auth to an OIDC provider. (#15582)
Add Synapse version deploy annotations to Grafana dashboard which enables easy correlation between behavior changes witnessed in a graph to a certain Synapse version and nail down regressions. (#15674)
Add a catch-all * to the supported relation types when redacting an event and its related events. This is an update to MSC3912 implementation. (#15705)
Speed up /messages by backfilling in the background when there are no backward extremities where we are directly paginating. (#15710)
Expose a metric reporting the database background update status. (#15740)

Correctly clear caches when we delete a room. (#15609)
Check permissions for enabling encryption earlier during room creation to avoid creating broken rooms. (#15695)

Log when events are (maybe unexpectedly) filtered out of responses in tests. (#14213)
Read from column full_user_id rather than user_id of tables profiles and user_filters. (#15649)

Improve performance of user directory search. (#15729)
Remove redundant table join with room_memberships when doing a is_host_joined()/is_host_invited() call (membership is already part of the current_state_events). (#15731)

Speed up typechecking CI. (#15752)
Bump minimum supported Rust version to 1.60.0. (#15768)
