(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
#5867: Progress bar not visible
#6044: Clicking "Save" in options says "You have unsaved changes" when changing automatic upgrade setting
#6213: Tone down STUN logging a bit
#6222: Connection Error on Listing More Locally Changed Files
#6234: Docker image uses wrong path for default folder
#6240: GUI: ignore patterns path is one row too low
#6263: Panics due to database being closed
v1.3.3
Bugfixes
#6104: Windows: Syncthing log file filling up primary drive.
#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
Bugfixes
#5810: GUI theme not changing on WebKit-based/like browsers
#5968: Folder "Up To Date" but has pending "Revert Local Changes"
#5980: (De)select all not working in add device dialog
#6027: Folder shows as "Syncing" when there is no data transfer
#6043: Cannot exit after failed startup
#6081: QUIC accept error loops too quickly, causing excessive log output
#6090: Pull-scan loop due to symlink traversal
#6093: cmd/stdiscosrv: Data race in replication
#6136: API + UI device last seen is empty/Never
#6160: Uses too much RAM when syncing large files (1.3.0+)
Enhancements
#6036: Generate HTTPS certificates accepted by iOS 13 / macOS Catalina
#6056: Improve sharing tab when there are no devices to share with
#6115: Change Web UI based on prefers-color-scheme
Bugfixes
5993: Build information missing in discovery and relay server binaries
5995: Usage-reported transfer stats are meaningless
6008: Changed file in receive-only folder cannot be ignored
6040: Shows authentication warning when listening on UNIX socket
6049: Hostnames resolving to localhost are not considered 'local' in remote access warning
Enhancements
5583: White tab in black Interface ?
5627: Stalled scans need better UI representation
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.

Prodded by wiz@, thanks for reminding me!
Bugfixes:
#4897: Pausing on introducer removes device on other devices

descriptors and syncthing won't work. At least that's what happened
to me... so take care.

This release also includes built in support for file system notifications,
although it is disabled by default. To test this functionality, enable the
advanced folder config fsWatcherEnabled.
Additionally, the UDP based "KCP" protocol is now enabled by default. This
provides better connectivity through NAT devices. TCP is the preferred
connection protocol when available.

#4348: Hashing benchmarks are skipped if a manual selection has been forced.
Resolved issues (cmd/strelaysrv):

This is a regularly scheduled stable release.
Resolved issues:
#3742, #4305: Better detect sync conflicts that happen while syncing
#4300: Fixes a crash related to a nil reference in ignore handling
There is also a major internal refactor as part of this release.
