+
+### Features
+

+  * The `global.presence.enable_inbound` and `global.presence.enable_outbound` configuration options allow configuring inbound and outbound presence separately
+* Support for room upgrades via the `/room/{roomID}/upgrade` endpoint has been added (contributed by [DavidSpenler](https://github.com/DavidSpenler), [alexkursell](https://github.com/alexkursell))
+* Support for ignoring users has been added
+* Joined and invite user counts are now sent in the `/sync` room summaries
+* Queued federation and stale device list updates will now be staggered at startup over an up-to 2 minute warm-up period, rather than happening all at once
+* Memory pressure created by the sync notifier has been reduced
+* The EDU server component has now been removed, with the work being moved to more relevant components
+
+### Fixes
+
+* It is now possible to set the `power_level_content_override` when creating a room to include power levels over 100
+* `/send_join` and `/state` responses will now not unmarshal the JSON twice
+* The stream event consumer for push notifications will no longer request membership events that are irrelevant
