Syncthing v1.2.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-07-09 // almost 5 years ago
  • v1.2.0

    Important notes

    🚀 This release does not interoperate with Syncthing 0.14.45 or older.

    🚀 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.

    🚀 This release adds automatic crash reporting. See
    🔀 https://docs.syncthing.net/users/crashrep.html for details.

    🚀 This release makes large / variable block size the only available mode of
    👀 operation; small / fixed blocks are deprecated. See
    🔀 https://docs.syncthing.net/advanced/folder-uselargeblocks.html for details.

    🚀 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
    👻 time is unchanged when archiving. An exception to this is the "Trashcan"
    🔖 versioner which does not modify the name - instead it does set the file
    modification time the time of archiving.
