+Synapse 1.69.0rc1 (2022-10-04)
+==============================
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- Allow application services to set the `origin_server_ts` of a state event by providing the query parameter `ts` in `PUT /_matrix/client/r0/rooms/{roomId}/state/{eventType}/{stateKey}`, per [MSC3316](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3316). Contributed by @lukasdenk. ([\#11866](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/11866))
+- Allow server admins to require a manual approval process before new accounts can be used (using [MSC3866](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3866)). ([\#13556](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13556))
+- Exponentially backoff from backfilling the same event over and over. ([\#13635](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13635), [\#13936](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13936))
+- Add cache invalidation across workers to module API. ([\#13667](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13667), [\#13947](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13947))
+- Experimental implementation of MSC3882 to allow an existing device/session to generate a login token for use on a new device/session. ([\#13722](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13722))
+- Experimental support for thread-specific receipts ([MSC3771](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3771)). ([\#13782](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13782), [\#13893](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13893), [\#13932](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13932), [\#13937](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13937), [\#13939](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13939))
+- Add experimental support for [MSC3881: Remotely toggle push notifications for another client](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3881). ([\#13799](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13799), [\#13831](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13831), [\#13860](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13860))
+- Keep track when an event pulled over federation fails its signature check so we can intelligently back-off in the future. ([\#13815](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13815))
+- Improve validation for the unspecced, internal-only `_matrix/client/unstable/add_threepid/msisdn/submit_token` endpoint. ([\#13832](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13832))
+- Faster remote room joins: record _when_ we first partial-join to a room. ([\#13892](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13892))
+- Support a `dir` parameter on the `/relations` endpoint per [MSC3715](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3715). ([\#13920](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13920))
+- Ask mail servers receiving emails from Synapse to not send automatic reply (e.g. out-of-office responses). ([\#13957](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13957))
+
+

+- Fix a long-standing bug where typing events would be accepted from remote servers not present in a room. Also fix a bug where incoming typing events would cause other incoming events to get stuck during a fast join. ([\#13830](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13830))
+- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.53.0 where the experimental implementation of [MSC3715](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3715) would give incorrect results when paginating forward. ([\#13840](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13840))
+- Fix access token leak to logs from proxy agent. ([\#13855](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13855))

+- Fix a bug introduced in 1.66 where some required fields in the pushrules sent to clients were not present anymore. Contributed by Nico. ([\#13904](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13904))
+- Fix packaging to include `Cargo.lock` in `sdist`. ([\#13909](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13909))

+- Fix a long-standing bug where `POST /_matrix/client/v3/keys/query` requests could result in excessively large SQL queries. ([\#13956](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13956))
+- Fix a performance regression in the `get_users_in_room` database query. Introduced in v1.67.0. ([\#13972](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13972))
+- Fix bug where Rust extension wasn't built in `release` mode when using `poetry install`. ([\#14009](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14009))
+- Do not return an unspecified `original_event` field when using the stable `/relations` endpoint. Introduced in Synapse v1.57.0. ([\#14025](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14025))
+
