- Stick an expiration date to any registered user missing one at startup if account validity is enabled. ([\#5204](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5204))
- Add experimental support for relations (aka reactions and edits). ([\#5209](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5209), [\#5211](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5211), [\#5203](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5203), [\#5212](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5212))

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix image orientation when generating thumbnails (needs pillow>=4.3.0). Contributed by Pau Rodriguez-Estivill. ([\#5039](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5039))
- Exclude soft-failed events from forward-extremity candidates: fixes "No forward extremities left!" error. ([\#5146](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5146))
- Re-order stages in registration flows such that msisdn and email verification are done last. ([\#5174](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5174))
- Fix 3pid guest invites. ([\#5177](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5177))

- Prevent registration for user ids that are too long to fit into a state key. Contributed by Reid Anderson. ([\#5198](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5198))
