AFAIK, it's only available on F-Droid/Github/Obtainium
dragonfly/amd64 illumos/amd64 and solaris/amd64 linux/ppc64 netbsd/* openbsd/386 and openbsd/arm windows/arm
I'm surprised they're dropping windows/arm considering that seems to be the direction things are moving in.
I don't understand why they chose to use github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 instead of modernc.org/sqlite
Note that windows/arm64 is still supported. Not sure if 32 bit arm was ever relevant on Windows.
> Support for 32-bit Arm versions of applications will be removed in a future release of Windows 11.

Some devices, like Windows 11 running on a VM on Apple’s ARM processors, already can’t run 32-bit ARM applications.

I love this software. I am using it to sync files across different computers and different people for years now.
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.
Finally some sanity!
(And that db removal interval setting).
Once running, it's just a case of copying or editing files in a folder and they're everywhere else. No manual intervention, no trying to remember which computer has the latest copy, it doesn't get upset if I throw terabytes of media at it, it doesn't get upset if I `git init` inside multiple folders and suddenly I have my coding projects ready to go on whatever laptop I pick up.
It also does some nice additional bits, like making it possible to have machines that store a copy of the data but never have decryption keys, so I can use a cheap VPS without worrying about it having a plain-text copy of my data. There's also the ability to store multiple revisions of changed files, should you want it. It's also, at the end of the day, actual plain files on your filesystem which can save a lot of headaches.
It also does a pretty good job of finding the best path to a different box. It shares IPs (that you run the service on), so same lan, different vlan, via a VPN, via a double nat'd someone else's wifi; it doesn't care and usually does the right thing (and is configurable if you wish/need).
The comparison isn't rsync. SyncThing is a host-your-own dropbox/onedrive/other alternative without a requirement for a provider, accounts, fees or your data belonging to someone else, and stunningly low barriers to entry/usage by non technical people.
So, don't think I need this but will keep it in mind for NAT traversal or something like that.

Sounds like it is not completely true if you need a server in the cloud as a prerequisite, though maybe I misunderstood.
Rsync is great as there is a clear master copy. But if changes may happen at any copy of the data, it can become a chore.
Also SyncThing is bidirectional whereas rsync is one way (obvs you could also push both ways).
