Security

• This release includes an important security fix. Please update as soon as possible. Sensitive Matrix account data is not exposed by this issue. (#1107 by @7w1)

Features

• Add Native OIDC (OAuth 2.0) login so you can sign in to and register on homeservers that use delegated authentication, such as continuwuity and Synapse with the Matrix Authentication Service. Sessions stay signed in through automatic token refresh, and signing out revokes the tokens on the server. (#1071 by @eleboucher)

• Display redacted state events (membership, room name/topic/avatar, pins and other state events) as a "deleted" tombstone in the timeline instead of rendering them with empty/redacted content or hiding them, so the reply-to of a redaction highlights the redacted event. (#1090 by @eleboucher)
