## Major changes in 2.0
- Database backend switched from LevelDB to SQLite. There is a migration on
first launch which can be lengthy for larger setups. The new database is
easier to understand and maintain and, hopefully, less buggy.
- Deleted items are no longer kept forever in the database, instead they are
forgotten after six months. If your use case require deletes to take
effect after more than a six month delay, set the
`--db-delete-retention-interval` command line option or corresponding
environment variable to zero, or a longer time interval of your choosing.
- Modernised command line options parsing. Old single-dash long options are
no longer supported, e.g. `-home` must be given as `--home`. Some options
have been renamed, others have become subcommands. All serve options are
now also accepted as environment variables. See `syncthing --help` and
`syncthing serve --help` for details.
- Rolling hash detection of shifted data is no longer supported as this
effectively never helped. Instead, scanning and syncing is faster and more
efficient without it.
- A "default folder" is no longer created on first startup.
- Multiple connections are now used by default between v2 devices. The new
default value is to use three connections: one for index metadata and two
for data exchange.
- 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
