Synapse 1.21.2 (2020-10-15)
===========================
Debian packages and Docker images have been rebuilt using the latest versions of dependency libraries, including authlib 0.15.1. Please see bugfixes below.
Security advisory
-----------------
* HTML pages served via Synapse were vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS)
attacks. All server administrators are encouraged to upgrade.
([\#8444](matrix-org/synapse#8444))
([CVE-2020-26891](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-26891))
This fix was originally included in v1.21.0 but was missing a security advisory.
This was reported by [Denis Kasak](https://github.com/dkasak).
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix rare bug where sending an event would fail due to a racey assertion. ([\#8530](matrix-org/synapse#8530))
- An updated version of the authlib dependency is included in the Docker and Debian images to fix an issue using OpenID Connect. See [\#8534](matrix-org/synapse#8534) for details.
Synapse 1.21.1 (2020-10-13)
===========================
This release fixes a regression in v1.21.0 that prevented debian packages from being built.
It is otherwise identical to v1.21.0.
Synapse 1.21.0 (2020-10-12)
===========================
No significant changes since v1.21.0rc3.
As [noted in
v1.20.0](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.21.0/CHANGES.md#synapse-1200-2020-09-22),
a future release will drop support for accessing Synapse's
[Admin API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/docs/admin_api) under the

be accessible under `/_synapse/admin`.
