-          Did you miss us? Only two weeks after our beta release, we are ready to release Fractal

-            Draft messages are persisted in the database, allowing to restore them after a restart

-          <li>
-            A banner appears when synchronization with the homeserver fails too many times in a row

-          <li>
-            Links in room descriptions are detected in most places

           <li>
-            The history media viewers show properly when they are loading or empty

-        </p>
-        <p>
-          As the version implies, it should be mostly stable and we expect to only include minor
-          improvements until the release of Fractal 8.
