hooks can now interrupt or redirect actions, and initiate
related actions, by printing json on stdout with commands
mainly to mitigate limitations such as sharex/sharex#3992
xbr/xau can redirect uploads to other destinations with `reloc`
and most hooks can initiate indexing or deletion of additional
files by giving a list of vpaths in json-keys `idx` or `del`
there are limitations;
* xbu/xau effects don't apply to ftp, tftp, smb
* xau will intentionally fail if a reloc destination exists
* xau effects do not apply to up2k
also provides more details for hooks:
* xbu/xau: basic-uploader vpath with filename
* xbr/xar: add client ip
hooks can be restricted to users with certain permissions, for example
`--xm aw,notify-send` will only `notify-send` if user has write-access
the user's list of permissions are now also included in the json
that is passed to the hook if enabled; `--xm aw,j,notify-send`
will now also stop parsing flags when encountering a blank value,
allowing to specify any initial arguments to the command:
`--xm aw,j,,notify-send,hey` would run `notify-send` with `hey`
as its first argument, and the json would be the 2nd argument,
similarly `--xm ,notify-send,hey` when no flags specified
this is somewhat explained in `--help-hooks`, but
additional related features are planned in the near future
and will all be better documented when the dust settles
* template-based title formatting
* picture embeds are no longer ant-sized
* `--og-color` sets accent color; default #333
* `--og-s-title` forces default title, ignoring e2t
* add a music indicator to song titles because discord doesn't
currently only being used to workaround discord discarding
query strings in opengraph tags, but i'm sure there will be
plenty more wonderful usecases for this atrocity
it is now possible to grant access to users other than `${u}`
(the user which the volume belongs to)
previously, permissions did not apply correctly to IdP volumes due to
the way `${u}` and `${g}` was expanded, which was a funky iteration
over all known users/groups instead of... just expanding them?
also adds another sanchk that a volume's URL must contain a
`${u}` to be allowed to mention `${u}` in the accs list, and
similarly for `${g}` / `@${g}` since users can be in multiple groups
too fraught with subtle dangers, such as other copyparty instances
ending up sharing knowledge of volumes unintentionally, and
configuration becoming mysteriously sticky (not to mention
this would all become hella difficult to reason about)
instead, rely entirely on users seeing the big red warning
added in 2ebfdc25 if their configuration is dangerous
this decision has the drawback that there will be server stuttering
whenever a new user makes themselves known since the last restart,
as it realizes the volumes exist and does the usual e2ds indexing,
instead of doing it early during startup
but it's probably good enough
to abort an upload, refresh the page and access the unpost tab,
which now includes unfinished uploads (sorted before completed ones)
can be configured through u2abort (global or volflag);
by default it requires both the IP and account to match

* docker: warn if there are config-files in ~/.config/copyparty
because somebody copied their config into
/cfg/copyparty instead of /cfg as intended
* docker: warn if there are no config-files in an included directory
* make misconfigured reverse-proxies more obvious
* explain cors rejections in server log
* indicate cors rejection in error toast
features which should be good to go:
* user groups
* assigning permissions by group
* dynamically created volumes based on username/groupname
* rebuild vfs when new users/groups appear
but several important features still pending;
* detect dangerous configurations
* dynamic vol below readable path
* remember volumes created during previous runs
* helps prevent unintended access
* correct filesystem-scan on startup
* allow mounting `/` (the entire filesystem) as a volume
* not that you should (really, you shouldn't)
* improve `-v` helptext
* change IdP group symbol to @ because % is used for file inclusion
* not technically necessary but is less confusing in docs
some clients (clonezilla-webdav) rapidly create and delete files;
this fails if copyparty is still hashing the file (usually the case)
and the same thing can probably happen due to antivirus etc
add global-option --rm-retry (volflag rm_retry) specifying
for how long (and how quickly) to keep retrying the deletion
default: retry for 5sec on windows, 0sec (disabled) on everything else
because this is only a problem on windows
* permission `.` grants dotfile visibility if user has `r` too
* `-ed` will grant dotfiles to all `r` accounts (same as before)
* volflag `dots` likewise
also drops compatibility for pre-0.12.0 `-v` syntax
(`-v .::red` will no longer translate to `-v .::r,ed`)
* some malicious requests are now answered with HTTP 422,
so that they count against --ban-422
* do not include request headers when replying to invalid requests,
in case there is a reverse-proxy inserting something interesting
* fix toast/tooltip colors on splashpage
* properly warn if --ah-cli or --ah-gen is used without --ah-alg
* support ^D during --ah-cli
* improve flavor texts
not even the deprecationwarning that got silently generated burning
20~30% of all CPU-time without actually displaying it anywhere, nice
python 3.12.0 is now only 5% slower than 3.11.6
also fixes some other, less-performance-fatal deprecations
