new features

• "medialinks"; instead of the usual hotlink, the basic-uploader (as used by sharex and such) can return a link that opens the file in the media viewer c9281f8
  • enable for all uploads with volflag medialinks, or just for one upload by adding ?media to the post url
• thumbnails are now fully compatible with dirkeys/filekeys 52e0622
• --th-covers will respect filename order, selecting the first matching filename as the folder thumbnail 1cdb170
• new hook: bittorrent downloader bd3b386 803e156
• hooks: d749683
  • can be restricted to only run when user has specific permissions
  • user permissions are also included in the json message to the hook
  • new syntax to prepend args to the hook's command
  • (all this will be better documented after some additional upcoming hook-related features, see --help-hooks for now)
• support descript.ion usenet metadata; will parse and render into directory listings when possible 927c3bc
  • directory listings are now 2% slower, eh who's keeping count anyways
• tftp-server: 4525925
  • improved support for buggy clients

bugfixes

• race-the-beam (downloading an unfinished upload) could get interrupted near the end, requiring a manual resume in the browser's download manager to finish f37187a
• ftp-server: when accessing the root folder of servers without a root folder, it could mention inaccessible folders 84e8e1d
• ftp-server: uploads will automatically replace existing files if user has delete perms 0a9f4c6
  • windows 2000 expects this behavior, otherwise it'll freak out and delete stuff and then not actually upload it, nice

  • stop trying to recover from a corrupted file if the user already fixed it manually 55a011b
  • support downloading the currently playing song regardless of current folder c06aa68
• music player preloader: db6059e
  • stop searching after 5 folders of nothing
  • don't crash playback by walking into error-pages
• --og (rich discord embeds) was incompatible with viewing markdown docs d75a2c7
• --cgen (configfile generator) much less jank d5de3f2
