Syncthing v1.2.0-rc.3 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-06-25 // almost 5 years ago
  • v1.2.0

    Important notes

    ๐Ÿš€ This release does not interoperate with Syncthing 0.14.45 or older.

    ๐Ÿš€ This release adds QUIC with NAT traversal as a new transport protocol. TCP
    is usually more performant and remains the preferred way of connection when
    possible.

    ๐Ÿš€ This release adds automatic crash reporting. See
    ๐Ÿ”€ https://docs.syncthing.net/users/crashrep.html for details.

    ๐Ÿš€ This release makes large / variable block size the only available mode of
    ๐Ÿ‘€ operation; small / fixed blocks are deprecated. See
    ๐Ÿ”€ https://docs.syncthing.net/advanced/folder-uselargeblocks.html for details.

    ๐Ÿš€ This release reverts the version naming change in #4586 (v1.1.4). Versions
    are now named with the time of their archiving, and the file modification
    ๐Ÿ‘ป time is unchanged when archiving. An exception to this is the "Trashcan"
    ๐Ÿ”– versioner which does not modify the name - instead it does set the file
    modification time the time of archiving.
