+Synapse 1.28.0 (2021-02-25)
+===========================
+
+Note that this release drops support for ARMv7 in the official Docker images, due to repeated problems building for ARMv7 (and the associated maintenance burden this entails).
+
+This release also fixes the documentation included in v1.27.0 around the callback URI for SAML2 identity providers. If your server is configured to use single sign-on via a SAML2 IdP, you may need to make configuration changes. Please review [UPGRADE.rst](UPGRADE.rst) for more details on these changes.
+
+
+Internal Changes
+----------------
+
+- Revert change in v1.28.0rc1 to remove the deprecated SAML endpoint. ([\#9474](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9474))
+
+
+Synapse 1.28.0rc1 (2021-02-19)
+==============================
+
+Removal warning
+---------------
+
+The v1 list accounts API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
+This API was undocumented and misleading. It can be replaced by the
+[v2 list accounts API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.28.0/docs/admin_api/user_admin_api.rst#list-accounts),
+which has been available since Synapse 1.7.0 (2019-12-13).
+
+Please check if you're using any scripts which use the admin API and replace
+`GET /_synapse/admin/v1/users/<user_id>` with `GET /_synapse/admin/v2/users`.
+
+
+Features
