Is the Windows sync client still being worked on?
I asked this about a month ago in the platform and developer section of the support community, but with it being deprecated perhaps went unnoticed.
The current version of the sync application for Windows was released January last year and has vulnerable 3rd party components. For example, the OpenSSL libs it ships with are version 1.1.1k, the CA bundle is from 2021, SQLite 3.19.3 and bundled Python is version 2 (not that the last 2 are that important, and the bundled Python is the last build of that line, but version 2 nonetheless).
Are you guys still working on it or porting the app code to Python 3? I noticed the other client, Box? (without the Sync part in the name), has been receiving more love, but its last release is also from last year (December) and also ships with vulnerable libs (OpenSSL is 1.1.1i (older than Sync?!), current release of that LTS channel is 1.1.1u and the 1.1.1 branch is only going to be supported until September, a newer LTS is 3.0.0) Which one is the way to go? Could we have updated releases for both clients?
Thanks for your time, regards,
James.
PS. They're both bundled with MSVC++ libs instead of using system-wide ones, it would be nice not to deploy them that way (one less component to keep up to date).
