9001/copyparty v0.11.18

seamless

on GitHub

• drop-in upgrade; no additional steps to consider since v0.11.1
• no important fixes, mostly new features
• recent important updates:
  • v0.11.14 fixed a deadlock in the thumbnails feature which was added in v0.11.0

notes

this release includes copyparty-sfx-gz.py, an additional sfx build which uses gzip compression rather than the usual bzip2; only useful for smoketests on minimal python builds. Note that both past and future releases can be converted from bzip2 to gzip by running copyparty-repack.sh on linux/macos/windows-msys2; this will produce the additional sfx in this release, copyparty-extras/sfx-full/copyparty-sfx-gz.py (see sfx-repack for more info)

new features

• (almost) gapless audio playback! partially powered by:
  • url suffix ?cache to get a response without any Cache-Control directives
  • and using events for end-of-track instead of polling
• hotkey b to toggle breadcrumbs / directory tree sidebar
  • hotkey p is now play/pause
  • hotkey m is now parent-directory
• hilight the playing track in gallery mode too
• toggle to disable the now-playing clipboard buttons
• added lots of tooltips
  • threw aray the competing tooltip implementations and did a single ok one
• more accurate error-messages on upload failures due to filesystem permissions
• add another output to the sfx repacker (gzip-compressed python sfx)

bugfixes

• file selection after switching from grid to list
• playback into next folder if the tree sidebar is closed
• show the link to exit search results even if columns are hidden
• make an effort to terminate clients cleanly on shutdown
• py2 volume listing with -e2d
