5 | | -No changes yet! |
| 5 | +This release contains the second set of contributions from our two 2020 |
| 6 | +[GSoC](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/) students, as well as |
| 7 | +[Hacktoberfest](https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/) participants and a |

| 10 | +for raising the standard of the project once again! |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +Now is a great time to give the project a try, with more features than ever and |
| 13 | +the newly-added 'explore mode' (`--explore` on the command-line) ensuring that |
| 14 | +no messages get marked as read in your client while you're just giving it a |
| 15 | +try! |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +### IMPORTANT NOTES |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +This release fixes a security issue, so we strongly recommend upgrading immediately. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +#### Python 3.5 |
| 22 | +This will be the last release with support for python 3.5, for which support |
| 23 | +has now ended upstream (see #838). |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +#### Customized installs |
| 26 | +If you've customized your install by editing themes or keys, be sure to back |
| 27 | +these up before upgrading and then carefully integrate them. |
| 28 | + |
