- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.70.0 which could cause spurious `UNIQUE constraint failed` errors in the `rotate_notifs` background job. ([\#14669](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14669))
- Ensure stream IDs are always updated after caches get invalidated with workers. Contributed by Nick @ Beeper (@fizzadar). ([\#14723](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14723))

- Use `htmltest` to check links in the Synapse documentation. ([\#14743](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14743))

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

- Faster remote room joins: stream the un-partial-stating of events over replication. ([\#14545](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14545), [\#14546](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14546))
- Use [ruff](https://github.com/charliermarsh/ruff/) instead of flake8. ([\#14633](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14633), [\#14741](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14741))
- Change `handle_new_client_event` signature so that a 429 does not reach clients on `PartialStateConflictError`, and internally retry when needed instead. ([\#14665](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14665))
- Remove dependency on jQuery on reCAPTCHA page. ([\#14672](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14672))
- Faster joins: make `compute_state_after_events` consistent with other state-fetching functions that take a `StateFilter`. ([\#14676](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14676))
- Add missing type hints. ([\#14680](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14680), [\#14681](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14681), [\#14687](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14687))
- Improve type annotations for the helper methods on a `CachedFunction`. ([\#14685](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14685))
- Check that the SQLite database file exists before porting to PostgreSQL. ([\#14692](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14692))
- Add `.direnv/` directory to .gitignore to prevent local state generated by the [direnv](https://direnv.net/) development tool from being committed. ([\#14707](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14707))
- Batch up replication requests to request the resyncing of remote users's devices. ([\#14716](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14716))
- If debug logging is enabled, log the `msgid`s of any to-device messages that are returned over `/sync`. ([\#14724](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14724))
- Change GHA CI job to follow best practices. ([\#14772](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14772))
- Switch to our fork of `dh-virtualenv` to work around an upstream Python 3.11 incompatibility. ([\#14774](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14774))
- Skip testing built wheels for PyPy 3.7 on Linux x86_64 as we lack new required dependencies in the build environment. ([\#14802](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14802))
