* Increase DB/CPU perf of `_is_server_still_joined` check.
For rooms with large amount of state a single user leaving could cause
us to go and load a lot of membership events and then pull out
membership state in a large number of batches.
* Newsfile
* Update synapse/storage/persist_events.py

We're in the middle of properly mitigating spam caused by malicious aliases being added to a room. However, until this work fully lands, we temporarily filter out all m.room.aliases events from /sync and /messages on the CS API, to remove abusive aliases. This is considered acceptable as m.room.aliases events were never a reliable record of the given alias->id mapping and were purely informational, and in their current state do more harm than good.
