Comment on Syncthing 2.0 Released

Comments

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:

Support for 32-bit Arm versions of applications will be removed in a future release of Windows 11.

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
