-This release targets API level 30, which changes how Android lets Syncthing interact with the filesystem. As a consequence the db is reset, meaning everything gets scanned again which takes some time and battery power.
+Hotfix release to fix a crash after upgrading to 1.19.0 on old android versions.
 
-* Target API level 30 / Android 11 ( https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing-android/issues/1721 )
-* Update Syncthing to v1.19.0 ( https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/releases/tag/v1.19.0 )
+See release notes for 1.19.0 for relevant changes since previous versions:  https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing-android/releases/tag/1.19.0
 
+* Crash on upgrade to v1.19.0 on old androids due to recursive deletion utility ( https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing-android/issues/1753 )
