Synapse 0.33.3.1 (2018-09-06)
=============================

SECURITY FIXES
--------------

- Fix an issue where event signatures were not always correctly validated ([\#3796](#3796))
- Fix an issue where server_acls could be circumvented for incoming events ([\#3796](#3796))

Internal Changes
----------------

- Unignore synctl in .dockerignore to fix docker builds ([\#3802](#3802))
