==============================

Features
--------

- Admin API to add or modify threepids of user accounts. ([\#6769](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6769))
- Limit the number of events that can be requested by the backfill federation API to 100. ([\#6864](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6864))
- Add ability to run some group APIs on workers. ([\#6866](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6866))

- Add ability to route federation user device queries to workers. ([\#6873](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6873))
- The result of a user directory search can now be filtered via the spam checker. ([\#6888](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6888))
- Implement new `GET /_matrix/client/unstable/org.matrix.msc2432/rooms/{roomId}/aliases` endpoint as per [MSC2432](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2432).
