Synapse 1.68.0 (2022-09-27) =========================== Please note that Synapse will now refuse to start if configured to use a version of SQLite older than 3.27. In addition, please note that installing Synapse from a source checkout now requires a recent Rust compiler. Those using packages will not be affected.
