-- Allow for the configuration of max request retries and min/max retry delays in the matrix federation client. ([\#12504](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12504))
 - Log when events are (maybe unexpectedly) filtered out of responses in tests. ([\#14213](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14213))
 - Read from column `full_user_id` rather than `user_id` of tables `profiles` and `user_filters`. ([\#15649](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15649))
 - Add support for tracing functions which return `Awaitable`s. ([\#15650](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15650))

-### `federation`
-
-The federation section defines some sub-options related to federation.
-
-The following options are related to configuring timeout and retry logic for one request,
-independently of the others.
-Short retry algorithm is used when something or someone will wait for the request to have an
-answer, while long retry is used for requests that happen in the background,
-like sending a federation transaction.
-
-* `client_timeout`: timeout for the federation requests in seconds. Default to 60s.
-* `max_short_retry_delay`: maximum delay to be used for the short retry algo in seconds. Default to 2s.
-* `max_long_retry_delay`: maximum delay to be used for the short retry algo in seconds. Default to 60s.
-* `max_short_retries`: maximum number of retries for the short retry algo. Default to 3 attempts.
-* `max_long_retries`: maximum number of retries for the long retry algo. Default to 10 attempts.
-
-Example configuration:
-```yaml
-federation:
-  client_timeout: 180
-  max_short_retry_delay: 7
-  max_long_retry_delay: 100
-  max_short_retries: 5
-  max_long_retries: 20
