When files that were previously marked as deleted became ignored, we used to do nothing at all. This changes that behavior to set the Invalid bit (that we should rename to Ignored). This then becomes an update to other devices that they should not trust our knowledge about the file in question. Read this diff without whitespace... Tested by - creating a bunch of files on s1 - letting them sync to s2 - shutting down s2 - deleting the files on s1 and rescanning - adding the files to .stignore on s1 and rescanning - starting up s2 and letting it sync - observing the files are not deleted on s2, and it considers itself up to date.

Syncthing
This is the Syncthing project which pursues the following goals:
-
Define a protocol for synchronization of a folder between a number of collaborating devices. This protocol should be well defined, unambiguous, easily understood, free to use, efficient, secure and language neutral. This is called the Block Exchange Protocol.
-
Provide the reference implementation to demonstrate the usability of said protocol. This is the
syncthingutility. We hope that alternative, compatible implementations of the protocol will arise.
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 are also several GUI implementations for Windows, Mac and Linux.
Vote on features/bugs
We'd like to encourage you to vote on issues that matter to you. This helps the team understand what are the biggest pain points for our users, and could potentially influence what is being worked on next.
Getting in Touch
The first and best point of contact is the Forum. There is also an IRC
channel, #syncthing on freenode (with a web client), for talking
directly to developers and users. If you've found something that is clearly a
bug, feel free to report it in the GitHub issue tracker.
Building
Building Syncthing from source is easy, and there's a guide that describes it for both Unix and Windows systems.
Signed Releases
As of v0.10.15 and onwards release binaries are GPG signed with the key D26E6ED000654A3E, available from https://syncthing.net/security.html and most key servers.
There is also a built in automatic upgrade mechanism (disabled in some distribution channels) which uses a compiled in ECDSA signature. Mac OS X binaries are also properly code signed.
