Sourced from github.com/syncthing/syncthing's releases.

v1.8.0-rc.3

v1.8.0

This 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.

Bugfixes:

• #5425: Allow editing ignore patterns texterea in GUI's folder dialog even when #include fails
• #6733: strelaysrv can't propely unmarshall a response when joining a pool
• #6784: Remote device completion 100% while it is actually syncing
• #6816: fatal error: concurrent map read and map write
• #6823: Syncthing 1.7.0 performs UPnP with NAT traversal disabled

• #6795: Don't warn encountering an invalid path separator for deleted items
