v2.7.0

This is the first Sydent release under an AGPLv3.0 licence (with CLA, for proprietary dual licensing). You can read more about this here:

• https://element.io/blog/element-to-adopt-agplv3/

Note that this release is not published on PyPI. Running the prebuilt upstream Docker image at matrixdotorg/sydent is now the recommended way to deploy Sydent.

Bugfixes

• Prevent Sydent from overwriting user settings in the DEFAULT section upon startup. (#590)
• Prevent bare line feed rejection errors by using CRLF line endings when sending emails. Contributed by @NICO-SOLUTIONS. (#596)

Internal Changes

• Do not publish the release to PyPI.
• Update README to describe how to run from the upstream prebuilt Docker image, and remove instructions for installing from PyPI.
