Synapse 1.30.1 (2021-03-26)
๐ This release is identical to Synapse 1.30.0, with the exception of explicitly setting a minimum version of Python's Cryptography library to ensure that users ๐ of Synapse are protected from the recent OpenSSL security advisories, especially CVE-2021-3449.

๐ It's also worth noting that Cryptography no longer supports Python 3.5, so ๐ admins deploying to older environments may not be protected against this or ๐ future vulnerabilities. Synapse will be dropping support for Python 3.5 at the end of March.

If your server is configured to use single sign-on via a SAML2 IdP, you may need to make configuration changes. Please review the [upgrade notes](docs/upgrade.md) for more details on these changes.

Synapse 1.27.0 (2021-02-16)
๐ Note that this release includes a change in Synapse to use Redis as a cache โ as well as a pub/sub mechanism โ if Redis support is enabled for workers. No action is needed by server administrators, and we do not expect resource usage of the Redis instance to change dramatically.
๐ This release also changes the callback URI for OpenID Connect (OIDC) and SAML2 identity providers. If your server is configured to use single sign-on via an OIDC/OAuth2 or SAML2 IdP, you may need to make configuration changes. Please review the [upgrade notes](docs/upgrade.md) for more details on these changes.
๐ This release also changes escaping of variables in the HTML templates for SSO or email notifications. If you have customised these templates, please review the [upgrade notes](docs/upgrade.md) for more details on these changes.
