# [v1.5.0](https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/releases/v1.5.0)
This release changes the default location for the index database under some circumstances. Two new flags can also be used to affect the location of the configuration (`-config`) and database (`-data`) separately. The old `-home` flag is equivalent to setting both of these to the same directory. When no flags are given the following logic is used to determine the data location:
- If a database exists in the old default location, that location is still used. This means existing installations are not affected by this change.
- If `$XDG_DATA_HOME` is set, use `$XDG_DATA_HOME/syncthing`.
- If `~/.local/share/syncthing` exists, use that location.
- Use the old default location.
This logic is used on non-Windows, non-Mac platforms only. On Windows and Mac the logic is unchanged.
