+--------
+
+- Add an endpoint to query your shared rooms with another user as an implementation of [MSC2666](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2666). ([\#7785](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7785))
+- Iteratively encode JSON to avoid blocking the reactor. ([\#8013](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8013), [\#8116](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8116))

+- Add unread messages count to sync responses, as specified in [MSC2654](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2654). ([\#8059](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8059), [\#8254](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8254), [\#8270](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8270), [\#8274](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8274))

+
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Fix a memory leak by limiting the length of time that messages will be queued for a remote server that has been unreachable. ([\#7864](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7864))
+- Fix `Re-starting finished log context PUT-nnnn` warning when event persistence failed. ([\#8081](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8081))
+- Synapse now correctly enforces the valid characters in the `client_secret` parameter used in various endpoints. ([\#8101](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8101))
+- Fix a bug introduced in v1.7.2 impacting message retention policies that would allow federated homeservers to dictate a retention period that's lower than the configured minimum allowed duration in the configuration file. ([\#8104](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8104))
+- Fix a long-standing bug where invalid JSON would be accepted by Synapse. ([\#8106](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8106))
+- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.12.0 which could cause `/sync` requests to fail with a 404 if you had a very old outstanding room invite. ([\#8110](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8110))
+- Return a proper error code when the rooms of an invalid group are requested. ([\#8129](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8129))

+- Fix logging in via OpenID Connect with a provider that uses integer user IDs. ([\#8190](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8190))
+- Fixes a longstanding bug where user directory updates could break when unexpected profile data was included in events. ([\#8223](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8223))
+- Fix a longstanding bug where stats updates could break when unexpected profile data was included in events. ([\#8226](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8226))
+- Fix slow start times for large servers by removing a table scan of the `users` table from startup code. ([\#8271](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8271))
+
+

+- Updated documentation to note that Synapse does not follow `HTTP 308` redirects due to an upstream library not supporting them. Contributed by Ryan Cole. ([\#8120](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8120))
+- Explain better what GDPR-erased means when deactivating a user. ([\#8189](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8189))

+Internal Changes
+----------------
+
+- Add filter `name` to the `/users` admin API, which filters by user ID or displayname. Contributed by Awesome Technologies Innovationslabor GmbH. ([\#7377](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7377), [\#8163](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8163))
