+## Changes to the event replication streams
+
+Synapse now includes a flag indicating if an event is an outlier when
+replicating it to other workers. This is a forwards- and backwards-incompatible
+change: v1.63 and workers cannot process events replicated by v1.64 workers, and
+vice versa.
+
+Once all workers are upgraded to v1.64 (or downgraded to v1.63), event
+replication will resume as normal.

+### `rc_joins_per_room`
+
+This option allows admins to ratelimit joins to a room based on the number of recent
+joins (local or remote) to that room. It is intended to mitigate mass-join spam
+waves which target multiple homeservers.
+
+By default, one join is permitted to a room every second, with an accumulating
+buffer of up to ten instantaneous joins.
+
+Example configuration (default values):
+```yaml
+rc_joins_per_room:
+  per_second: 1
+  burst_count: 10
+```
+
+_Added in Synapse 1.64.0._
