- Refer to a more recent blog post on the [Database Maintenance Tools](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/administration/database_maintenance_tools.html) page. Contributed by @jahway603. ([\#15083](matrix-org/synapse#15083))


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

- Re-type hint some collections as read-only. ([\#13755](matrix-org/synapse#13755))
- Faster joins: don't stall when another user joins during a partial-state room resync. ([\#14606](matrix-org/synapse#14606))
- Add a class `UnpersistedEventContext` to allow for the batching up of storing state groups. ([\#14675](matrix-org/synapse#14675))
- Add a check to ensure that locked dependencies have source distributions available. ([\#14742](matrix-org/synapse#14742))
- Tweak comment on `_is_local_room_accessible` as part of room visibility in `/hierarchy` to clarify the condition for a room being visible. ([\#14834](matrix-org/synapse#14834))
- Prevent `WARNING: there is already a transaction in progress` lines appearing in PostgreSQL's logs on some occasions. ([\#14840](matrix-org/synapse#14840))
- Use `StrCollection` to avoid potential bugs with `Collection[str]`. ([\#14929](matrix-org/synapse#14929))
- Improve performance of `/sync` in a few situations. ([\#14973](matrix-org/synapse#14973))
- Limit concurrent event creation for a room to avoid state resolution when sending bursts of events to a local room. ([\#14977](matrix-org/synapse#14977))
- Skip calculating unread push actions in /sync when enable_push is false. ([\#14980](matrix-org/synapse#14980))
- Add a schema dump symlinks inside `contrib`, to make it easier for IDEs to interrogate Synapse's database schema. ([\#14982](matrix-org/synapse#14982))
- Improve type hints. ([\#15008](matrix-org/synapse#15008), [\#15026](matrix-org/synapse#15026), [\#15027](matrix-org/synapse#15027), [\#15028](matrix-org/synapse#15028), [\#15031](matrix-org/synapse#15031), [\#15035](matrix-org/synapse#15035), [\#15052](matrix-org/synapse#15052), [\#15072](matrix-org/synapse#15072), [\#15084](matrix-org/synapse#15084))

- Fix clashing database transaction name. ([\#15070](matrix-org/synapse#15070))
