Internal Changes
----------------

Bugfixes
--------

- Update the version of the LDAP3 auth provider module included in the `matrixdotorg/synapse` DockerHub images and the Debian packages hosted on packages.matrix.org to 0.2.2. This version fixes a regression in the module. ([\#13470](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13470))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.41.0 where the `/hierarchy` API returned non-standard information (a `room_id` field under each entry in `children_state`). ([\#13365](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13365))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 0.24.0 that would respond with the wrong error status code to `/joined_members` requests when the requester is not a current member of the room. Contributed by @andrewdoh. ([\#13374](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13374))
- Fix bug in handling of typing events for appservices. Contributed by Nick @ Beeper (@fizzadar). ([\#13392](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13392))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.57.0 where rooms listed in `exclude_rooms_from_sync` in the configuration file would not be properly excluded from incremental syncs. ([\#13408](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13408))
- Fix a bug in the experimental faster-room-joins support which could cause it to get stuck in an infinite loop. ([\#13353](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13353))
- Faster room joins: fix a bug which caused rejected events to become un-rejected during state syncing. ([\#13413](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13413))
- Faster room joins: fix error when running out of servers to sync partial state with, so that Synapse raises the intended error instead. ([\#13432](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13432))

Updates to the Docker image
---------------------------

- Make Docker images build on armv7 by installing cryptography dependencies in the 'requirements' stage. Contributed by Jasper Spaans. ([\#13372](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13372))
