+- Synced with upstream Element X 26.10.3 (Rust SDK 26.10.15).
+- Message search: a new Search tab finds messages across all chats, including encrypted ones.
+  The index is built on the device.
+- Notifications: unread counts on the Chats tab, stale notifications for rooms read elsewhere
+  are cleared, tapping a notification opens the room at its newest message.
+- Fixes for signing back in after a soft logout and for iOS 27 layouts.
+
+⚠️ Known issues
+
+- Incoming calls are labelled as video calls on the call screen; voice calls still connect
+  as voice calls.
+- An "Incoming call" notification is shown next to the call screen, and a few notifications
+  may show generic text, while Apple reviews the notification filtering entitlement.
