+
+Features
+--------
+
+- 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 support for shadow-banning users (ignoring any message send requests).
