config file version (36) is newer than supported version (35)

I am not so happy about the advise given here, even more so without any explanation of what’s happening. And I think it’s the least favorable way of resolving the issue here. My preference would 1.:

  1. Update Syncthing. There’s multiple options here: Running syncthing --upgrade, downloading the latest Syncthing binary (Syncthing | Downloads) and replacing the existing one, maybe something in Synctrayzor?, …
  2. Copy the config and start Syncthing with allow-newer-config (or similar, didn’t check).
  3. Do the config.xml editing. Really I wouldn’t thouhg, 1. should work just fine.
