While the protocol break issue used to be huge, it's been ok for a few
years and likely that upstream now feels obligated to avoid protocol
breaks.
Adjust the text to say that only updates with protocol breaks need
approval.
This release adds the config option announceLANAddresses to enable
(the default) or disable announcing private (RFC1918) LAN IP addresses
to global discovery.
It also fixes various bugs, and we can delete a patch that's no longer
needed.
While there is 1.9.0, it is only two days old and isn't in f-droid
yet. I am choosing to avoid new releases for a bit, on the theory
that it's better to let people other than pkgsrc users find any new
issues.
Tested with syncthing Android/f-droid 1.8.0.
Upstream changes:
bugfixes and minor enhanceements
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.
syncthing builds with Go 1.15 but panics on startup, which is why my bulk
build has not found this. This will be fixed in the next upstream version.
Discussed with tnn@ and gdt@
This hotfix release fixes an issue with block validation.
Bugfixes:
#6827: syncthing 1.6.1 -> 1.7.0 fails on "failed validating data"

in config
v1.6.0
This release performs a database schema migration, and adds the

upstream changes:
-----------------
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 -home flag 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:
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_HOME is set, use $XDG_DATA_HOME/syncthing.
If ~/.local/share/syncthing exists, use that location.
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:
#3808: gui: Number of days must be number flashes red then disappears
#5809: stdiscosrv failed to load keypair without proper error message
#6410: Wrong 30-days-interval in staggered versioning
#6430: Incorrect out-of-sync/locally changed status indication on folders
#6436: Revert Local Changes red button does not work correctly
#6440: Doesn't run monitor process when started with STNORESTART=1
#6450: LDAP auth doesn't handle LDAPS with certificate validation
#6487: Scan problem within single unignored subdirectory prevents bidirectional sync
Enhancements:
#4924: Move index db to $XDG_DATA_HOME/syncthing/
#5376: Improve LDAP authentication
#6384: Do auto upgrades early and synchronously on startup
#6416: Improve device status for "unused" devices
#6432: Deleted file that existed locally only reported as locally changed
#6437: Don't start browser when restarting after upgrade
Other issues:
#6471: Windows exe isn't properly version tagged
(Tested with f-droid syncthing.)
Upstream does not include NEWS, but changes are various improvements
and relatively minor. Perhaps significant is a db schema change
requiring migration (automatic, and worked for me).
upstream changes:
-----------------
v1.3.4
Bugfixes
#4570: Negative percentage and data to sync

#6133: Race condition in restarting folder
#6139: Some sync errors get cleared despite them still being valid
#6206: Soft limit for maxfiles is NOT increased to the hard one on macOS
Enhancements
#5887: Upgrade Button Does Not Have Confirmation Dialog
#6057: "Nearby devices" links should look more like links (mouse pointer)
#6190: Do not create .stignore if there are no ignore patterns
Update prepared by Frédéric Fauberteau <triaxx@NetBSD.org>.
While this update is slightly larger than micro, syncthing is a leaf
package or nearly so, and the update fixes a critical bug:
https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/6081
which results in excessive CPU use and syslog trouble.
Tested on netbsd-8/amd64 interoperating with Android Syncthing 1.3.2
from f-droid. (For the record, pkgsrc synching 1.3.1 worked fine with
android 1.3.2, other than the QUIC accept bug.)
packaging change: Drop note about differing Android versions now that
Android version relate to the main version.
Upstream changelog
v1.3.2

Other issues
6010: STUN server stun.voxgratia.org should be removed
This release adds the "databaseTuning" config option to adjust parameters for the database size in use. The default is "auto" which automatically determines appropriate parameters. The other options are "small" (results in the parameters used previously, and used now for small databases) and "large" (results in the new parameters for large databases, regardless of the actual database size).
Bugfixes
#5985: Log spam and high CPU use if #include path is wrong in .stignore
Enhancements
#5138: Rate limit can be very bursty
#5948: Improve free space checking when syncing
#5966: Database performance: improve situation with huge databases
Other issues
#5924: Upgrade server JSON generator
#5991: lib/api: TestHostCheck never finishes with Go 1.13rc2 under Docker
#5999: Allow providing your own ldflags for building
The basic intent remains: if there is a protocol break we have to
coordinate with f-droid. However, syncthing seems to have matured to
the point where protocol breaks no longer happen.
syncthing phones home to check the version; not only is this a privacy
leak, but pkgsrc does updates differently so it isn't really useful.
Add a flag to the build to disable this.
From pkg/53951 by Daniel Ziltener.
- redirect stdout to /dev/null to avoid duplicating output that is already
logged to a file
- use load_rc_config after setting defaults in order to allow overriding
them in the local rc.conf

upstream changes:
-----------------
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.

API Changes
Change #5479 introduces the new copyOwnershipFromParent folder
configuration option. The default, false, matches the old behavior of
not copying ownership information.
Since change #5405, large (variable size) blocks are enabled by default for newly created folders.
Based on PR 53878 by David J. Weller-Fahy
This major release honors the fact that Syncthing is used widely
and since a while no longer "really in beta". It does not represent
a breaking change.
