Notes
-----
This release requires Matrix API v1.1-v1.3. Please make sure your server is up
to date.
This release limits the maximum connections per host to 8. For best performance
we recommend your server supports http/2 so that slow requests don't slow down
other parts of the app (like sending messages).
Nheko now has KRunner and Rofi plugins (developed by LorenDB and LordMZTE
respectively).
