Syncthing is een opensourceprogramma waarmee bestanden tussen twee computers kunnen worden gesynchroniseerd. Dit gebeurt net als bij BitTorrent Sync zonder dat er een centrale server tussen zit, zoals dat wel het geval is bij opslagdiensten als bijvoorbeeld Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive en iCloud. De software is onder meer beschikbaar voor Windows, Linux, OS X en Android. Ook zijn er packages voor Synology en Qnap. Eerder deze week is versie 0.13 uitgekomen en inmiddels is ook al de eerste update beschikbaar gekomen.
In versie 0.13, die overigens niet compatibel is met versie 0.12, is het onder meer mogelijkheid bestanden te delen voordat ze compleet zijn, hoeven het label en het folder id niet meer dezelfde naam te hebben en toont Syncting niet alleen het het id maar ook de naam van het device wanneer er een share van een onbekende bron wordt aangeboden. De complete changelog ziet er als volgt uit:
Syncthing v0.13.1
Fixes two bugs resulting in things not connecting after upgrade to v0.13.0. Also please read the v0.13.0 relase notes. This release is not compatible with v0.12.x.
- lib/config: Don't migrate non-HTTPS-URL discovery servers to new path (#3103, @calmh)
- gui, lib: Add missing licenses (#3100, @aviau)
- lib/connections: Correctly add port to portless tcp:// URLs (#3115, @calmh)
Syncthing v0.13.0 "Copper Cockroach"
Upgrade NotesMajor Changes Since v0.12
- v0.13 is not protocol compatible with v0.12.
- The database format has changed. It will be migrated without rescan on first startup, but the first startup may take longer than usual.
Devices now announce files that are in progress of being downloaded, in addition to those that are already complete. This means a device can serve parts of a file to other devices before it has completed the download itself.
Folder labels are now distinct from the folder ID. The intention is for the label to be human readable and for the ID to be machine readable and unique. When upgrading, folder IDs are not changed. However when creating new folders Syncthing will suggest a random, unique folder ID.
When receiving a connection attempt from an unknown device Syncthing will now show the name of that device, not only it's ID.
Syncthing will now manage port mappings on NAT-PMP compliant routers, in addition to the existing UPnP support.
Minor Changes and ImprovementsKnown Issues
- Ignored files can now be tagged with the prefix (?d) to indicate that Syncthing may delete these files if they remain when deleting a directory. Ignore patterns use less memory by default.
- The address for sync connections, both the listening side and for remote devices, can now be made IPv4- or IPv6-only. Use the tcp4:// or tcp6:// schemes to specify one or the other. The default tcp:// is still dual stack. Additionally, relays are now treated as listen addresses and set in the same configuration setting.
- The folder settings dialog has been cleaned up.
- The environment variable ALL_PROXY_NO_FALLBACK can be set to disable falling back to direct connections in the absence of a working proxy.
- Many, many bug fixes.
- The "Syncing" complete percentage for remote devices may erroneously display more than 100% (i.e. 156% or 297%) while a remote device is still synchronizing.
