    🗄 Deprecations and Removals

    Internal Changes

    • 👌 Improve type hinting throughout Synapse. (#14055, #14412, #14529, #14452).
    • ✂ Remove old stream ID tracking code. Contributed by Nick @Beeper (@fizzadar). (#14376, #14468)

    • Faster joins: send events to initial list of servers if we don't have the full state yet. (#14408)
    • ⚡️ Faster joins: use servers list approximation received during send_join (potentially updated with received membership events) in assert_host_in_room. (#14515)

    • Extend editorconfig rules on indent and line length to .pyi files. (#14526)
