From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm glad to announce v0.4.7 release!

Syncspirit is continuous peer-to-peer realtime syncrhonization tool. It implements BEP protocol and provides seamless interoperability with existing syncthing nodes and clients.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/basiliscos/syncspirit/refs/heads/master/docs/fltk-overview.gif

You can download ready-to-use binaries for Linux x86_64 (AppImage), Windows 32 bit (WindowsXP is supported), Windows 64 bit and Mac OS X (Apple silicon).

Notable changes (since previous v0.4.5 announce):

  • [core, fltk] allow to use file patterns (PCRE-syntax) accept or ignore local files into cluster
  • [core] add start offline option
  • [fltk, win32, os x] add system tray icon
  • [fltk] use menu instead of toolbar
  • [core] introduce services layer (allow stop/start/restart of networking)
  • [core] dns resolver actor: randomly choose ip address of resolver server
  • [core, fix] more reliably connect to relays.syncthing.net
  • [core, win32, bugfix] use utf8 for displaying error messages
  • [core, win32, bugfix] allow to use long file paths (260+ symbols)

Syncspirt source code uses GPLv3 license.

Any feedback is welcome!

WBR, basiliscos.

Sick retro looking UI, nice job

i'm really digging how people are making ui's look like they predate windows xp and mac os 10 -- sometimes, it makes me feel like in in my 20's again. lol
