Sure, so yes 1.67.2 was a unstable version (in gnome, the libraries that
follow the old versioning schema use odd minor version numbers for
unstable versions).

The first stable version of the serie was 1.68.0, but it was affected by
mayor crashes [1] and so we decided to delay releasing it to the first
stable release update, that is 1.68.1

Title:
  [SRU] Update to 1.68.1

Status in gjs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  That's the current GNOME stable update, including many memory fixes
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs/commits/1.68.1

  [ Test case ]

  The update is part of GNOME stable updates
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME

  GNOME Shell and its components should continue working, as well other
  gjs based apps like polari or gnome-weather and maps

  [ Regression potential ]

  The way the objects are handled when (un)reffed from other threads or after 
(and during) disposition changed a lot, so it could both cause:
   1. Leaks (memory waste in fact) if objects are kept referenced by gjs and 
not released when nothing else
      need them
   2. New crashes or dead-locks when objects are (un)reffed from other threads
