+## SQLite version requirement in the next release
+
+From the next major release (v1.68.0) Synapse will require SQLite 3.27.0 or 
+higher. Synapse v1.67.0 will be the last major release supporting SQLite
+versions 3.22 to 3.26.

+Those using docker images or Debian packages from Matrix.org will not be

+SQLite used by Python with:
+
+```shell
+python -c "import sqlite3; print(sqlite3.sqlite_version)"
+```
+
+If this is too old, refer to your distribution for advice on upgrading.
