+# 2025-0807-2213  `v1.19.0`  usernames
+
+## 🧪 new features
+
+* #511 login with username and password (not just password) can now optionally be enabled with `--usernames` 346515cc
+  * if you have enabled password hashing (`ah-alg: argon2` or similar) then you will need to hash your passwords again after enabling usernames, hashing them as `username:password:`
+* #468 add Greek translation (thx @chamdim!) 50f46187 392abd06
+* #471 add Czech translation (thx @kubakubakuba!) c9556583
+* #515 support systemd socket acivation (thx @mati1210!) 9b9d2a92
+* #523 add QR-code to the connectpage bcc3b156
+* #513 optional EOL-conversion for texteditor 8b31ed88
+* controlpanel refresh-button now toggles automatic refresh 7ae84dea
+
+## 🩹 bugfixes
+
+* fix stuck uploads when the up2k database (`e2d`) is not enabled 4a043568
+  * if more than 60'000 files were uploaded and there were several dupes of some files, they could get stuck and never upload
+  * upload performance is improved remarkably by enabling `e2d` so such huge uploads non-e2d had not been tested in a long time 
+* #467 #470 fix ui-crash when exporting links of all uploaded files to clipboard (thx @geekalaa!) 0df1901f
+* #487 fix ui-crash when the location url-part is `//` 0f55a1ae
+* fix viewing `.MD` files (8a0746c6)
+
+## 🔧 other changes
+
+* when a reverse-proxy is detected, force explicit configuration of `--rproxy` to obtain correct client IP 3f8cb7e8
+  * a bit inconvenient, but helps prevent potentially-dangerous misconfiguration
+  * the necessary configuration changes are explained in the serverlog (you can't miss it)
+  * thanks to @person4268 for pointing out that there was room for improvements!
+* failed login attempts now only log a sha512 hash of the provided password
+  * to see login-attempts with incorrect passwords as plaintext like before, `log-badpwd: 1`
+* #502 add systemd user services and templated services (thx @icxes!) 34d98e99
+* #475 improve helptext for multivalue global-options c2ac57a2
+* #475 add [chungus.conf](https://github.com/9001/copyparty/blob/hovudstraum/docs/chungus.conf), massive extensive nonsensical demo config b664ebb0
+* try to detect proxies with incorrect caching behavior 9e980bb5
+* recent-uploads now support ie9 a57f7cc2
+* languages and themes are now dropdowns a9ee4f24
+* copyparty.exe: upgrade python to 3.13.6 a98360f2
+* introduce [copyparty-en.py](https://github.com/9001/copyparty/releases/latest/download/copyparty-en.py), english-only edition of copyparty-sfx.py to save space 33497e6b
+
+## 🗿 known issues 
+
+* the `copyparty.pyz` in this release is english-only, and does not include the translations -- they got lost in transit while adjusting the buildscripts to make `copyparty-en.py`
+
