Subject: [PATCH] Rip out Element telemetry; bump version to 1.0.5
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

PostHog, web Sentry, and electron-main Sentry now never initialize, even if
a config carries their sections (Blap's config never did — this makes it
structural).
