+- Update to 1.16.0
+  - Features
+    - Add an option to enable encryption by default for new rooms.
+      (#7639)
+    - Add support for running multiple media repository workers.
+      See docs/workers.md for instructions. (#7706)
+    - Media can now be marked as safe from quarantined. (#7718)
+    - Expand the configuration options for auto-join rooms. (#7763)
+  - Bugfixes
+    - Remove user_id from the response to GET
+      /_matrix/client/r0/presence/{userId}/status to match the
+      specification. (#7606)
+    - In worker mode, ensure that replicated data has not already
+      been received. (#7648)
+    - Fix intermittent exception during startup, introduced in
+      Synapse 1.14.0. (#7663)
+    - Include a user-agent for federation and well-known requests.
+      (#7677)
+    - Accept the proper field (phone) for the m.id.phone identifier
+      type. The legacy field of number is still accepted as a
+      fallback. Bug introduced in v0.20.0. (#7687)
+    - Fix "Starting db txn 'get_completed_ui_auth_stages' from
+      sentinel context" warning. The bug was introduced in 1.13.0.
+      (#7688)
+    - Compare the URI and method during user interactive
+      authentication (instead of the URI twice). Bug introduced in
+      1.13.0. (#7689)
+    - Fix a long standing bug where the response to the GET
+      room_keys/version endpoint had the incorrect type for the
+      etag field. (#7691)
+    - Fix logged error during device resync in opentracing. Broke
+      in v1.14.0. (#7698)
+    - Do not break push rule evaluation when receiving an event
+      with a non-string body. This is a long-standing bug. (#7701)
+    - Fixs a long standing bug which resulted in an exception:
+      "TypeError: argument of type 'ObservableDeferred' is not
+      iterable". (#7708)
+    - The synapse_port_db script no longer fails when the
+      ui_auth_sessions table is non-empty. This bug has existed
+      since v1.13.0. (#7711)
+    - Synapse will now fetch media from the proper specified URL
+      (using the r0 prefix instead of the unspecified v1). (#7714)
+    - Fix the tables ignored by synapse_port_db to be in sync the
+      current database schema. (#7717)
+    - Fix missing Content-Length on HTTP responses from the metrics
+      handler. (#7730)
+    - Fix large state resolutions from stalling Synapse for seconds
+      at a time. (#7735, #7746)
+  - Improved Documentation
+    - Spelling correction in sample_config.yaml. (#7652)
+    - Added instructions for how to use Keycloak via OpenID Connect
+      to authenticate with Synapse. (#7659)
+    - Corrected misspelling of PostgreSQL. (#7724)
+    - Deprecations and Removals
+    - Deprecate m.login.jwt login method in favour of
+      org.matrix.login.jwt, as m.login.jwt is not part of the
+      Matrix spec. (#7675)
+  - Internal Changes
+    - Refactor getting replication updates from database. (#7636)
+    - Clean-up the login fallback code. (#7657)
+    - Increase the default SAML session expiry time to 15 minutes.
+      (#7664)
+    - Convert the device message and pagination handlers to
+      async/await. (#7678)
+    - Convert typing handler to async/await. (#7679)
+    - Require parameterized package version to be at least 0.7.0.
+      (#7680)
+    - Refactor handling of listeners configuration settings.
+      (#7681)
+    - Replace uses of six.iterkeys/iteritems/itervalues with
+      keys()/items()/values(). (#7692)
+    - Add support for using rust-python-jaeger-reporter library to
+      reduce jaeger tracing overhead. (#7697)
+    - Make Tox actions work on Debian 10. (#7703)
+    - Replace all remaining uses of six with native Python 3
+      equivalents. Contributed by @ilmari. (#7704)
+    - Fix broken link in sample config. (#7712)
+    - Speed up state res v2 across large state differences. (#7725)
+    - Convert directory handler to async/await. (#7727)
+    - Move flake8 to the end of scripts-dev/lint.sh as it takes the
+      longest and could cause the script to exit early. (#7738)
+    - Explain the "test" conditional requirement for dependencies
+      is not all of the modules necessary to run the unit tests.
+      (#7751)
+    - Add some metrics for inbound and outbound federation
+      latencies: synapse_federation_server_pdu_process_time and
+      synapse_event_processing_lag_by_event. (#7755)(#7771)
