cross compilation with SQLite:
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

#3Amazing piece of software, have been using it for about 5-6 years between 4 computers and an Android phone. Never had a single problem with it, it respects your privacy, does only what it advertises, and gets out of your way.

Note that windows/arm64 is still supported. Not sure if 32 bit arm was ever relevant on Windows.

I don't if it's the reason but the performance of modernc.org/sqlite is worse than github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3

What's the latest story on Android? Last I heard they stopped official support there due to the newer restrictions Google has been imposing.

At the time they retired the Official Android App, there was already a much more popular and better maintained fork: https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android
AFAIK, it's only available on F-Droid/Github/Obtainium

32-but ARM support is on its way out:
> 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.

Syncthing-fork is in the Play Store and works fine for me.
