Syncthing 2.0 Released

Re:Syncthing 2.0 Released by acheong08 on Tuesday August 12, 2025 @05:51AM (#44874293)

> The following platforms unfortunately no longer get prebuilt binaries for download at syncthing.net and on GitHub, due to complexities related to cross compilation with SQLite:

dragonfly/amd64 illumos/amd64 and solaris/amd64 linux/ppc64 netbsd/* openbsd/386 and openbsd/arm windows/arm

I'm surprised they're dropping windows/arm considering that seems to be the direction things are moving in.

I don't understand why they chose to use github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 instead of modernc.org/sqlite

Note that windows/arm64 is still supported. Not sure if 32 bit arm was ever relevant on Windows.

32-but ARM support is on its way out:

Some devices, like Windows 11 running on a VM on Apple’s ARM processors, already can’t run 32-bit ARM applications.

I don't if it's the reason but the performance of modernc.org/sqlite is worse than github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3
