Merge tag 'v1.45.0' into babolivier/dinsic_1.48.0

Synapse 1.45.0 (2021-10-19)
===========================

No functional changes since Synapse 1.45.0rc2.

Known Issues
------------

- A suspected [performance regression](matrix-org/synapse#11049) which was first reported after the release of 1.44.0 remains unresolved.

  We have not been able to identify a probable cause. Affected users report that setting up a federation sender worker appears to alleviate symptoms of the regression.

Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Reword changelog to clarify concerns about a suspected performance regression in 1.44.0. ([\#11117](matrix-org/synapse#11117))

Synapse 1.45.0rc2 (2021-10-14)
==============================

This release candidate [fixes](matrix-org/synapse#11053) a user directory [bug](matrix-org/synapse#11025) present in 1.45.0rc1.

Known Issues
------------

- A suspected [performance regression](matrix-org/synapse#11049) which was first reported after the release of 1.44.0 remains unresolved.

  We have not been able to identify a probable cause. Affected users report that setting up a federation sender worker appears to alleviate symptoms of the regression.

  user not in the `users` table. ([\#11053](matrix-org/synapse#11053))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.44.0 when logging errors during oEmbed processing. ([\#11061](matrix-org/synapse#11061))
