Download Syncthing 1.2.0

Version 1.2.0 of Syncthing has been released. Syncthing is an open source program that allows files to be synchronized between two computers. This happens just like with BitTorrent Sync without a central server in between, as is the case with storage services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and iCloud. The software is available for Windows, Linux, macOS and Android, among others. There are also packages for Synology and Qnap. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

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 this for details.
• This release makes large / variable block size the only available mode of operation; small / fixed blocks are deprecated. see this for details.
• This release reverses the version naming change in #4586 2 (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.
