**N.B.** This release drops support for old homeservers which don't support the
new `/v3` API endpoints. Synapse 1.48+, Dendrite 0.6.5+ and Conduit 0.4.0+ are
supported. Legacy `r0` API support can be temporarily re-enabled with `pip install mautrix==0.16.0`.
However, this option will not be available in future releases.
* Added option to use [MSC2246] async media uploads.
* Added support for syncing read state from Google Chat after backfilling.
* Updated user avatar sync to store hashes and check them before updating
avatar on Matrix (thanks to [kpfleming] in [66]).
* Usually avatar URLs are stable, but it seems that they aren't in some cases.
This change should prevent unnecessary avatar change events on Matrix.
* Changed event handling to work synchronously to make sure incoming messages
are bridged in the correct order.
* Fixed bug where messages being sent while the bridge is reconnecting to
Google Chat would fail completely.
* Removed unnecessary warning log about `COMPASS` cookies.
