+
+- Add prometheus metrics for number of users successfully registering and logging in. ([\#9510](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9510), [\#9511](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9511), [\#9573](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9573))
+- Add `synapse_federation_last_sent_pdu_time` and `synapse_federation_last_received_pdu_time` prometheus metrics, which monitor federation delays by reporting the timestamps of messages sent and received to a set of remote servers. ([\#9540](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9540))
+- Add support for generating JSON Web Tokens dynamically for use as OIDC client secrets. ([\#9549](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9549))
+- Optimise handling of incomplete room history for incoming federation. ([\#9601](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9601))
+- Finalise support for allowing clients to pick an SSO Identity Provider ([MSC2858](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2858)). ([\#9617](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9617))
