v2.2.0 - Much faster directory transfers

on GitHub

Description:

The next major release, v2.2.0, is now out. Most notably, this release replaces mholt/archiver with a custom zip extractor for faster directory receives and smaller binaries, adds settings for controlling advanced wormhole client options and a lot of smaller bug fixes. This release also incorporates the initial support for building on Apple M1 computers (release binaries for that architecture are currently not available).

Release binaries are now built with Go 1.16 for better security on Windows and even smaller binaries. This means that the release binaries no longer support 10.11 El Capitan and instead require 10.12 Sierra or later.
