Version v1.12.19 removes the MSC3215 (Report to Moderators) labs feature and adds several UI enhancements, including OS notifications for incoming calls and drag‑and‑drop room list organization.

Why it matters: Deprecation of MSC3215 requires developers and SREs to stop relying on that experimental moderation tool before it is fully removed; new call notification and room‑list features improve user experience without mandatory action.
