    ==========================
    
    Features
    --------
    
    - Drop hard dependency on `sdnotify` python package. ([\#5871](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5871))
    
    Bugfixes
    --------
    
    - Fix startup issue (hang on ACME provisioning) due to ordering of Twisted reactor startup. Thanks to @chrismoos for supplying the fix. ([\#5867](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5867))

    Synapse 1.3.0 (2019-08-15)
    ==========================
    
    Bugfixes
    --------
    
    - Fix 500 Internal Server Error on `publicRooms` when the public room list was
      cached. ([\#5851](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5851))
    
    Synapse 1.3.0rc1 (2019-08-13)
    ==========================
    
    Features
    --------
    
    - Use `M_USER_DEACTIVATED` instead of `M_UNKNOWN` for errcode when a deactivated user attempts to login. ([\#5686](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5686))
    - Add sd_notify hooks to ease systemd integration and allows usage of Type=Notify. ([\#5732](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5732))
    - Synapse will no longer serve any media repo admin endpoints when `enable_media_repo` is set to False in the configuration. If a media repo worker is used, the admin APIs relating to the media repo will be served from it instead. ([\#5754](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5754), [\#5848](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5848))
    - Synapse can now be configured to not join remote rooms of a given "complexity" (currently, state events) over federation. This option can be used to prevent adverse performance on resource-constrained homeservers. ([\#5783](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5783))
    - Allow defining HTML templates to serve the user on account renewal attempt when using the account validity feature. ([\#5807](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5807))

    -------------------------
    
    - Synapse now no longer accepts the `-v`/`--verbose`, `-f`/`--log-file`, or `--log-config` command line flags, and removes the deprecated `verbose` and `log_file` configuration file options. Users of these options should migrate their options into the dedicated log configuration.

    Synapse 1.2.1 (2019-07-26)
    ==========================
    
    Security update
    ---------------
    
    This release includes *four* security fixes:
    
    - Prevent an attack where a federated server could send redactions for arbitrary events in v1 and v2 rooms. ([\#5767](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5767))
    - Prevent a denial-of-service attack where cycles of redaction events would make Synapse spin infinitely. Thanks to `@lrizika:matrix.org` for identifying and responsibly disclosing this issue. ([0f2ecb961](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/0f2ecb961))
    - Prevent an attack where users could be joined or parted from public rooms without their consent. Thanks to @dylangerdaly for identifying and responsibly disclosing this issue. ([\#5744](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5744))
    - Fix a vulnerability where a federated server could spoof read-receipts from
      users on other servers. Thanks to @dylangerdaly for identifying this issue too. ([\#5743](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5743))
    
    Additionally, the following fix was in Synapse **1.2.0**, but was not correctly
    identified during the original release:
    
    - It was possible for a room moderator to send a redaction for an `m.room.create` event, which would downgrade the room to version 1. Thanks to `/dev/ponies` for identifying and responsibly disclosing this issue! ([\#5701](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5701))
