+==============================
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- Add admin API for logging in as a user. ([\#8617](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8617))
+- Allow specification of the SAML IdP if the metadata returns multiple IdPs. ([\#8630](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8630))
+- Add support for re-trying generation of a localpart for OpenID Connect mapping providers. ([\#8801](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8801), [\#8855](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8855))
+- Allow Date header through CORS. Contributed by Nicolas Chamo. ([\#8804](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8804))
+- Add a config option, `push.group_by_unread_count`, which controls whether unread message counts in push notifications are defined as "the number of rooms with unread messages" or "total unread messages". ([\#8820](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8820))
+- Add `force_purge` option to delete-room admin api. ([\#8843](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8843))

+- Fix a bug in some federation APIs which could lead to unexpected behaviour if different parameters were set in the URI and the request body. ([\#8776](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8776))
+- Fix a bug where synctl could spawn duplicate copies of a worker. Contributed by Waylon Cude. ([\#8798](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8798))
+- Allow per-room profiles to be used for the server notice user. ([\#8799](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8799))

+- Fix `register_new_matrix_user` failing with "Bad Request" when trailing slash is included in server URL. Contributed by @angdraug. ([\#8823](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8823))
+- Fix minor long-standing bug in login, where we would offer the `password` login type if a custom auth provider supported it, even if password login was disabled. ([\#8835](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8835))
