How to Find Config File Version

cilantro_champion · November 26, 2023, 8:38pm

Is there a way to find the highest config file version supported by the currently-installed version of syncthing? I know I can find it just by running with the --generate option, but is there a more straightforward way to obtain it on the command line? Failing that, is there a place in the source code where I can find it?

Thank you, that works. I am generating a minimal config.xml using an ansible template, so the config-file version I set won’t change that often. I’d just like to note in the ansible config how to find the latest version.
