Syncthing v1.8.0-rc.4 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-08-07 // over 3 years ago

    🚀 This release:

    ➕ adds the experimental copyRangeMethod config on folders, for use on
    👀 filesystems with copy-on-write support. Please see
    🔀 https://docs.syncthing.net/advanced/folder-copyrangemethod.html for
    details.

    ➕ adds TCP hole punching, used to establish high performance TCP
    connections in certain NAT scenarios where only relay or QUIC
    connections could be used previously.

    ➕ adds a configuration to file versioning for how often to run cleanup.
    🔧 This defaults to once an hour, but is configurable from very
    frequently to never.
