This reverts the GC behavior to the Go default of triggering GC when the heap has grown 100% compared to after the previous GC. We were setting this to 25% to keep memory usage at a minimum, but it has a pretty severe performance cost (especially when syncing large files) as we keep triggering GC too often. This documents the tweak in the `-help` message so users can decide for themselves, and sticks to whatever the Go runtime developers thinks is best for the default. |

syncthing
This is the syncthing project. The following are the project goals:
-
Define a protocol for synchronization of a folder between a number of collaborating devices. The protocol should be well defined, unambiguous, easily understood, free to use, efficient, secure and language neutral. This is the Block Exchange Protocol.
-
Provide the reference implementation to demonstrate the usability of said protocol. This is the
syncthingutility. It is the hope that alternative, compatible implementations of the protocol will come to exist.
The two are evolving together; the protocol is not to be considered stable until syncthing 1.0 is released, at which point it is locked down for incompatible changes.
Getting Started
Take a look at the getting started guide.
There are a few examples for keeping syncthing running in the background on your system in the etc directory.
There is an IRC channel, #syncthing on Freenode, for talking directly
to developers and users (when awake and present, etc.).
Building
Building Syncthing from source is easy, and there's a guide. that describes it for both Unix and Windows.
Signed Releases
As of v0.10.15 and onwards, git tags and release binaries are GPG signed with the key D26E6ED000654A3E (see http://syncthing.net/security.html). For release binaries, MD5 and SHA1 checksums are calculated and signed, available in the md5sum.txt.asc and sha1sum.txt.asc files.
Documentation
The syncthing documentation is on the Github wiki.
