Velocity5.0

Continuous peer-to-peer file synchronization

syncthing.net ↗

Syncthing 2.1 is in steady patch mode, with database fixes in each release candidate.

file-syncpeer-to-peersqliteopen-sourcerelease-candidates
◆Current state
Syncthing's 2.1 line added device and folder groups, HTTP CONNECT proxies, optional block indexing and configurable GUI sessions. Since then every tracked entry is a patch release candidate: 2.1.6 went through four RCs with fixes for introducer permissions, temp-file errors and HTTP keepalive, and 2.1.7 is on rc.2 with SQLite fixes for prepared statements and early garbage collection.
◆Where it's heading
The project is stabilising the SQLite database backend that came with 2.x, with each patch cycle fixing storage edge cases and discovery behaviour. Releases run through multiple RCs before going stable, roughly every two to three weeks.
◆Prediction
Expect 2.1.7 stable after rc.2, then further 2.1.x patches focused on SQLite and discovery. The entries don't show what 2.2 will bring.
