KOSyncthing+ v1.2.1

on GitHub

[v1.2.1] — 2026-07-23

Fixed

• Downloading the legacy binary could fail with "did not contain a valid Linux
  Syncthing binary". A release archive holds three entries named syncthing,
  and the plugin picked whichever the filesystem happened to list first —
  sometimes one of the two helper scripts, which was then correctly rejected as
  not an executable. The legacy download was affected on every device; the
  ordinary binary update only when it fell back from system tar. The
  executable is now selected by its path inside the archive and extracted on its
  own. Verified against the v1.2.2, v1.27.12 and v2.x archives.
• The old-kernel notice reappeared on almost every wake. The hint pointing
  at Legacy mode was meant to show once, but nothing recorded that it had been
  shown, and init() runs on every plugin instantiation — each FileManager to
  Reader transition, and after resume. On an old-kernel device it therefore
  returned indefinitely, and being a delayed pop-up it landed on top of whatever
  was drawing at the time, including lock-screen plugins. It is now shown at
  most once, recorded only when it is actually displayed, and cleared by a
  factory reset. The standing information stays in the menu, which marks
  Legacy Syncthing whenever the kernel needs it.

Changed

• Binary extraction now also falls back to system tar if ffi/archiver is
  unavailable, which keeps the legacy download working on older KOReader builds
  — the devices most likely to need it.
• Extraction failures now report the underlying reason, so a failed download can
  be diagnosed from the message instead of guessed at.

What's Changed

• Enhance binary extraction by @d0nizam in #6
