the unix-permissions of new files/folders can now be changed
* global-option --chmod-f, volflag chmod_f for files
* global-option --chmod-d, volflag chmod_d for directories
the expected value is a standard three-digit octal value
(User/Group/Other) such as 755, 750, 644, 640, etc
* do not take lock on shares-db / sessions-db when running with
`--ah-gen` or `--ah-cli` (allows a 2nd instance for that purpose)
* add options to print effective salt for ah/fk/dk; useful for nixos
and other usecases where config is derived or otherwise opaque
the up2k databases are, by default, stored in a `.hist` subfolder
inside each volume, next to thumbnails and transcoded audio
add a new option for storing the databases in a separate location,
making it possible to tune the underlying filesystem for optimal
performance characteristics
the `--hist` global-option and `hist` volflag still behave like
before, but `--dbpath` and volflag `dbpath` will override the
histpath for the up2k-db and up2k-snap exclusivey
specifically google, but also some others, have started ignoring
rel="nofollow" while also understanding just enough javascript to
try viewing binary files as text
download-as-tar-gz becomes 2.4x faster in docker
segfaults on windows, so don't use it there
does not affect fedora or gentoo,
since zlib-ng is already system-default on those
also adds a global-option to write list of successful
binds to a textfile, for automation / smoketest purposes
`write_dls` assumed `vfs.all_nodes` included shares; make it so
shares now also appear in the active-downloads list, but the
URL is hidden unless the viewer definitely already knows the
share exists (which is why vfs-nodes now have `shr_owner`)
also adds PRTY_FORCE_MP, a beefybit (opposite of chickenbit)
to allow multiprocessing on known-buggy platforms (macos)
some clients, including KDE Dolphin (kioworker/6.10) keeps
sending requests without the basic-auth header, expecting
the server to respond with a 401 before it does
most clients only do this for the initial request, which is
usually a PROPFIND, which makes this nice and simple -- but
turns out we need to consider this for GET as well...
this is tricky because a graphical webbrowser must never
receive a 401 lest it becomes near-impossible to deauth,
and that's exactly what Dolphin pretends to be in its UA
man （ ´_ゝ`）
note: `KIO/` hits konqueror so don't
try to decode some malicious xml on startup; if this succeeds,
then force-disable all xml-based features (primarily WebDAV)
this is paranoid future-proofing against unanticipated changes
in future versions of python, specifically if the importlib or
xml.etree.ET behavior changes in a way that somehow reenables
entity expansion, which (still hypothetically) would probably
be caused by failing to unload the `_elementtree` c-module
no past or present python versions are affected by this change
a better alternative to using `--no-idx` for this purpose since
this also excludes recent uploads, not just during fs-indexing,
and it doesn't prevent deduplication
also speeds up searches by a tiny amount due to building the
sanchecks into the exclude-filter while parsing the config,
instead of during each search query
* if free ram on startup is less than 2 GiB,
use smaller chunks for parallel file hashing
* if --th-max-ram is lower than 0.25 (256 MiB),
print a warning that thumbnails will not work
* make thumbnail cleaner immediately do a sweep on startup,
forgetting any failed conversions so they can be retried
in case the memory limit was increased since last run
whenever a new idp user is registered, up2k will continuously
reload in the background until all users have been processed
just like before, this blocks up2k uploads from each user
until said user makes it into a reload, but as of now,
reloads will batch and execute without interrupting read-access
needs further testing before next release,
probably some rough edges to sand down
previously, it only accepted the 3-tuple `min,default,max`
if given a single integer (or any other unexpected value),
the up2k js would enter an infinite loop, eat all the ram
and crash the browser (nice)
fix this by accepting a single integer (for example 96)
and translating it to `1,96,96`
timezone can be changed with `export TZ=Europe/Oslo` before launch
using naive timestamps like this appears to be safe as of 3.13-rc1,
no deprecation warnings, just a tiny bit slower than assuming UTC
* v1.13.8 broke collision resolving for non-identical files;
the correct filename was reserved but not symlinked to
the original file, leaving a zerobyte file instead.
See v1.14.3 github release notes for remediation info
* add sanchecks for early detection of index/fs desync;
saves performance and gives less confusing logs
if files (one or more) are selected for sharing, then
a virtual folder is created to hold the selected files
if a single file is selected for sharing, then
the returned URL will point directly to that file
and fix some shares-related bugs:
* password coalescing
* log-spam on reload
use sigmasks to block SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGUSR1 from all other threads
also initiate shutdown by calling sighandler directly,
in case this misses anything and that is still unreliable
(discovered by `--exit=idx` being noop once in a blue moon)
adds options `--bauth-last` to lower the preference for
taking the basic-auth password in case of conflict,
and `--no-bauth` to entirely disable basic-authentication
if a client is providing multiple passwords, for example when
"logged in" with one password (the `cppwd` cookie) and switching
to another account by also sending a PW header/url-param, then
the default evaluation order to determine which password to use is:
url-param `pw`, header `pw`, basic-auth header, cookie (cppwd/cppws)
so if a client supplies a basic-auth header, it will ignore the cookie
and use the basic-auth password instead, which usually makes sense
but this can become a problem if you have other webservers running
on the same domain which also support basic-authentication
--bauth-last is a good choice for cooperating with such services, as
--no-bauth currently breaks support for the android app...
counterpart of `--s-wr-sz` which existed already
the default (256 KiB) appears optimal in the most popular scenario
(linux host with storage on local physical disk, usually NVMe)
was previously 32 KiB, so large uploads should now use 17% less CPU
also adds sanchecks for values of `--iobuf`, `--s-rd-sz`, `--s-wr-sz`
also adds file-overwrite feature for multipart posts
