 Synapse 1.52.0 (2022-02-08)
 ===========================
 
-No significant changes.
+No significant changes since 1.52.0rc1.
+
+During the making of this release, the developers of Twisted have released
+[Twisted 22.1.0](https://github.com/twisted/twisted/releases/tag/twisted-22.1.0), which
+fixes [a security issue](https://github.com/twisted/twisted/security/advisories/GHSA-92x2-jw7w-xvvx)
+within Twisted. We do not believe Synapse to be vulnerable to any security problem caused
+by this issue, though we advise server administrators to update their local version of
+Twisted if they can.
