Syncthing v1.5.0-rc.2 Release Notes
Release Date: 2020-04-22 // about 4 years ago-
v1.5.0
🚀 This release changes the default location for the index database under
some circumstances. Two new flags can also be used to affect the
🔧 location of the configuration (-config) and database (-data)
separately. The old-homeflag is equivalent to setting both of these
to the same directory. When no flags are given the following logic is
👉 used to determine the data location:- 0️⃣ If a database exists in the old default location, that location is
still used. This means existing installations are not affected by this
🔄 change. - If
$XDG_DATA_HOMEis set, use$XDG_DATA_HOME/syncthing. - 🔀 If
~/.local/share/syncthingexists, use that location. - 0️⃣ Use the old default location.
🏁 This logic is used on non-Windows, non-Mac platforms only. On Windows
and Mac the logic is unchanged.🛠 Bugfixes:
