This makes a couple of backwards compatible changes to the
ClusterConfig:
- Remove the `ignore_permissions` and `ignore_delete` booleans which
we've never read or used for anything
- Remove the `disable_temp_indexes` boolean and option entirely. We did
use this one, and about 1% of users have set the option. The only thing
it does is inhibits sending of periodical DownloadProgress messages
while downloading data, which is a minuscule bandwidth optimisation
given that we're already sending data at the time.
- Change the `read_only` boolean (which indicated send-only folders) to
an enum `FolderType`, where the values zero and one match the existing
usage. Again, we don't actually use this value, but I can see that we
might want to and then it makes more sense for it to be more
comprehensive.
- Change the `paused` boolean to an enum `StopReason`, where zero
indicates not stopped and one indicates paused, exactly the same wire
representation as previously but leaves space for additional stop
reasons (errors etc).
Before:
- Local discovery on Android 10+ is broken. The phone receives local
discovery packets from other devices running Syncthing on the same
network, e.g. a computer. But it doesn't send its own local discovery
packets.
- Startup of the beacon/broadcast.go and beacon/multicast.go "services"
subsequently fail, see the log entries of "service.go" with "2 of 2
failures, backing off".
Root cause:
- Android 10+ restricts determining the network interfaces for privacy
reasons. The interfaces and IP addresses cannot be determined.
- There's a bug in the go "net" library. I can actually get the
interfaces, but the fix was not implemented by the go team.
Workaround:
- The "community" found a workaround by creating a light wrapper around
"net" called "anet" library.
- "anet" adjusts the behaviour on Android 10+ and gets the interfaces
plus their IP addresses, as required by Syncthing.
After:
- By using the "anet" lib, Syncthing is able to get the interface ip
addresses and put them into the "AllAddresses" string array.
- The "AllAddresses" string array is then announced on the local
discovery multicast and broadcast packets, if enabled in Syncthing's
config.
- By correctly getting the interfaces and IP addresses using "anet" in
"beacon/broadcast.go" and "beacon/multicast.go", the services start up
fine again.
Verification:
- I've built "libSyncthingNative.so" with this PR applied for Android
and put it into Syncthing-Fork v1.29.7.5 for testing. My two phones,
Android 10 and Android 15 (arm64-v8a) immediately discovered each other
using local discovery.
- I can see the "sent XX bytes" and "recv XX bytes" on both phones in
the log filtering for "SyncthingNativeCode" :-).
Personal note:
- Please go light on me, and, if it's not demanded too much of your
time, please help me on this. I am no go programmer. Most things you
think are easy or common sense aren't part of my knowledge set. I'd just
like to help and hope we somehow can drive this home together to fix the
problem.

With that fix, I can see the broadcast/multicast lines again and my
phone can be discovered by other phones running the Syncthing app which
wasn't possible before on Android 10+.

We've had weak/rolling hashing in the code for quite a while. It was a
popular request for a while, based on the belief that rsync does this
and we should too. However, the benefit is quite small; we save on
average about 0.8% of transferred blocks over the population as a whole:
<img width="974" alt="Screenshot 2025-03-28 at 17 09 02"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/bbe10dea-f85e-4043-9823-7cef1220b4a2"
/>
This would be fine if the cost was comparably low, however the downside
of attempting rolling hash matching is that we (by default) do a
complete file read on the destination in order to look for matches
before we starting pulling blocks for the file. For any larger file this
means a sometimes long, I/O-intensive pause before the file starts
syncing, for usually no benefit.
I propose we simply rip off the bandaid and save the effort.
### Purpose
On iOS, the FSEvents API for watching files (also used on macOS) is not
available, but `kqueue` is. This PR ensures `kqueue` support is built on
iOS instead of the FSEvents based watcher implementation.
Before this PR, you could already use the `kqueue` build option to force
its usage. Unfortunately `gomobile`, the tool that I use to build
Syncthing for iOS and macOS for Synctrain, does not support setting
different build flags for iOS and macOS (unless I build separately for
each, which is a bit of a hassle because XCode nonsense). I am assuming
there are good reasons to support FSEvents even though `kqueue` is also
available on macOS (but I'm not sure why?). I do know FSEvents has been
working fine for me on macOS so it seems best to use FSEvents on macOS
and kqueue on iOS.
Note that this also requires https://github.com/syncthing/notify/pull/4
to be merged in `synchting/notify` (until that is done, this PR will
fail to build on iOS due to `notify` still trying to link to `fsevents`
stuff when the `kqueue` build flag is not set).
### Testing
I compiled both `syncthing/notify` and syncthing with this PR applied,
and used that to successfully build the Synctrain iOS app, which after
this PR works fine and should follow up file changes a bit quicker.

At a high level, this is what I've done and why:
- I'm moving the protobuf generation for the `protocol`, `discovery` and
`db` packages to the modern alternatives, and using `buf` to generate
because it's nice and simple.
- After trying various approaches on how to integrate the new types with
the existing code, I opted for splitting off our own data model types
from the on-the-wire generated types. This means we can have a
`FileInfo` type with nicer ergonomics and lots of methods, while the
protobuf generated type stays clean and close to the wire protocol. It
does mean copying between the two when required, which certainly adds a
small amount of inefficiency. If we want to walk this back in the future
and use the raw generated type throughout, that's possible, this however
makes the refactor smaller (!) as it doesn't change everything about the
type for everyone at the same time.
- I have simply removed in cold blood a significant number of old
database migrations. These depended on previous generations of generated
messages of various kinds and were annoying to support in the new
fashion. The oldest supported database version now is the one from
Syncthing 1.9.0 from Sep 7, 2020.
- I changed config structs to be regular manually defined structs.
For the sake of discussion, some things I tried that turned out not to
work...
### Embedding / wrapping
Embedding the protobuf generated structs in our existing types as a data
container and keeping our methods and stuff:
```
package protocol
type FileInfo struct {
*generated.FileInfo
}
```
This generates a lot of problems because the internal shape of the
generated struct is quite different (different names, different types,
more pointers), because initializing it doesn't work like you'd expect
(i.e., you end up with an embedded nil pointer and a panic), and because
the types of child types don't get wrapped. That is, even if we also
have a similar wrapper around a `Vector`, that's not the type you get
when accessing `someFileInfo.Version`, you get the `*generated.Vector`
that doesn't have methods, etc.
### Aliasing
```
package protocol
type FileInfo = generated.FileInfo
```
Doesn't help because you can't attach methods to it, plus all the above.
### Generating the types into the target package like we do now and
attaching methods
This fails because of the different shape of the generated type (as in
the embedding case above) plus the generated struct already has a bunch
of methods that we can't necessarily override properly (like `String()`
and a bunch of getters).
### Methods to functions
I considered just moving all the methods we attach to functions in a
specific package, so that for example
```
package protocol
func (f FileInfo) Equal(other FileInfo) bool
```
would become
```
package fileinfos
func Equal(a, b *generated.FileInfo) bool
```
and this would mostly work, but becomes quite verbose and cumbersome,
and somewhat limits discoverability (you can't see what methods are
available on the type in auto completions, etc). In the end I did this
in some cases, like in the database layer where a lot of things like
`func (fv *FileVersion) IsEmpty() bool` becomes `func fvIsEmpty(fv
*generated.FileVersion)` because they were anyway just internal methods.
Fixes#8247
This is to add the generation of `compat.json` as a release artifact. It
describes the runtime requirements of the release in question. The next
step is to have the upgrade server use this information to filter
releases provided to clients. This is per the discussion in #9656

This adds a header with the operating system version, verbatim in
whatever format the operating system reports it, to the upgrade check.
The intention is that the upgrade server can use this information to
filter out (or maybe just mark) potentially unsupported upgrades.
