Using Syncthing with osx10.11 El Capitan?

Hi, There are a few reports that newer Syncthing versions do not work with 10.11.

Also they don’t with me.

Support for elCapitan was dropped with 1.13.1. I’m not asking to get support for later versions.

What would be nice, would be a version of 1.13 that has automatic updating automatically off.

Or instructions on how to do that.

You can set STNOUPGRADE=1 in the environment to prevent upgrades regardless of config. I think this is the most secure way to prevent an undesired surprise upgrade. If you use our LaunchD plist file, open it in an editor and add

<key>STNOUPGRADE</key>
<string>1</string>

to the environment section. Something like this:

...
<key>EnvironmentVariables</key>
<dict>
  <key>HOME</key>
  <string>/Users/USERNAME</string>
  <key>STNORESTART</key>
  <string>1</string>
  <key>STNOUPGRADE</key>
  <string>1</string>
</dict>
...

Then log out, log in (or launchd unload the service follow by load).
