For those using it on Android, a reminder that the older app is not maintained anymore and you might want to replace it with Catfriend1/syncthing-android.

But also - maybe wait for the app v2.0 to be released to upgrade the desktop client at the same time; I don't know if using v2.0 on the desktop would work with the v1.x app.

SQLite continues to be the "Do Nothing. Win" of databases

No Solaris or Illumos support? That’s gonna piss off like 12 people

Masterpiece software.

Easily one of the most integral and convenient pieces of software in my use. I've got six machines syncing up in various degrees: desktop, laptop, Android, ereader, media server, and laser controller. It along with Tailscale are among first things I install. I'm hoping version 2.0 is as stable as 1 has been. The only trouble I've ever had out of was when I was syncing something in my local cloud directory.

Nice, I like Syncthing too.

• One of the biggest shifts is the move from the LevelDB database backend to SQLite
• The command-line interface ... old single-dash long options removed, some options renamed, and others reorganized into subcommands.

Sounds like it's fully compatible query devices running older version. Great.

Doens't look like Syncthing-Fork is on 2.0 yet. They have an RC but if you use it, you might want to be careful upgrading before they release.

I relied on Syncthing for a few years until my laptop became so powerful that a desktop was no longer needed (I do pro-audio work in Logic with lots of plugins; but I'm also just a nerd power-user). This has me thinking about getting back into using it to sync a much smaller amount of data, such as my Bash profile and custom functions, as well as some custom binaries that I keep in ~/bin. But I'll wait until a few releases into the 2.x cycle before I install while others help find the rough edges.

Hooray for development of awesome tools. Hats off to all the devs involved.

There doesn't seem to be that many changes for the user, at least not for me. Hopefully the performance difference is noticeable.

Awesome

Can I ask about the change of not keeping record of deleted files after 6 months by default. Does that mean if I sync two directories constantly so that if syncthing sees one of them has a file deleted, it will delete the file on the other too, if I copy back that same file into the synced folder, after 6 months pass Syncthing would sync that file again? Or what else does this mean?

Currently I am just using this to have an easy transfer between two computers, I keep moving out files that have been transferred from both folders, so I would think this has no effect on how I use it?

Good Point to start fresh? Mine ist totally fucked. Dont even know how i should start over :(

(Some syncthin-fork update or android update fucked the folder paths and trying to fix it while also adding a new folder somehow created some loops/crashes/conflicts)
