AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

Description:

This update for syncthing fixes the following issues:

Update to 1.15.0/1.15.1

 * This release fixes a vulnerability where Syncthing and the relay
   server can crash due to malformed relay protocol messages
   (CVE-2021-21404); see GHSA-x462-89pf-6r5h. (boo#1184428)
 * This release updates the CLI to use subcommands and adds the
   subcommands cli (previously standalone stcli utility) and decrypt (for
   offline verifying and decrypting encrypted folders).
 * With this release we invite everyone to test the "untrusted
   (encrypted) devices" feature. You should not use it yet on important
   production data. Thus UI controls are hidden behind a feature flag.
   For more information, visit:
   https://forum.syncthing.net/t/testing-untrusted-encrypted-devices/16470

Update to 1.14.0

 * This release adds configurable device and folder defaults.
 * The output format of the /rest/db/browse endpoint has changed.

update to 1.13.1:

 * This release adds configuration options for min/max connections (see
   https://docs.syncthing.net/advanced/option-connection-limits.html) and
   moves the storage of pending devices/folders from the config to the
   database (see
   https://docs.syncthing.net/dev/rest.html#cluster-endpoints).
 * Bugfixes
 * Official builds of v1.13.0 come with the Tech Ui, which is impossible
   to switch back from

update to 1.12.1:

 * Invalid names are allowed and "auto accepted" in folder root path on
   Windows
 * Sometimes indexes for some folders aren't sent after starting Syncthing
 * [Untrusted] Remove Unexpected Items leaves things behind
 * Wrong theme on selection
 * Quic spamming address resolving
 * Deleted locally changed items still shown as locally changed
 * Allow specifying remote expected web UI port which would generate a
   href somewhere
 * Ignore fsync errors when saving ignore files

Update to 1.12.0

 - The 1.12.0 release
   - adds a new config REST API.
 - The 1.11.0 release
   - adds the sendFullIndexOnUpgrade option to control whether all index
     data is resent when an upgrade is detected, equivalent to starting
     Syncthing with --reset-deltas. This (sendFullIndexOnUpgrade=true)
     used to be the behavior in previous versions, but is mainly useful
     as a troubleshooting step and causes high database churn. The new
     default is false.
  • Update to 1.10.0

    • This release adds the config option announceLANAddresses to enable
      (the default) or disable announcing private (RFC1918) LAN IP addresses
      to global discovery.
  • Update to 1.9.0

  • Fix Leap build by requiring at least Go 1.14

  • Prevent the build system to download Go modules which would require an
    internet connection during the build

  • Update to 1.8.0

    • The 1.8.0 release
      • 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.
    • The 1.7.0 release performs a database migration to optimize for
      clusters with many devices.
    • The 1.6.0 release performs a database schema migration, and adds the
      BlockPullOrder, DisableFsync and MaxConcurrentWrites folder
      options to the configuration schema. The LocalChangeDetected event no
      longer has the action set to added for new files, instead showing
      modified for all local file changes.
    • The 1.5.0 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.
