🧪 new features

#1068 #1089 add options to customize which textfiles (readme/prologue/epilogue) to embed above/below directory listings 14bef85
- prologues, epilogues, readmes, preadmes (global-options and/or volflags) accept a comma-separated list of filenames to look for
#1092 add option th-qv to change the thumbnail quality a1cbac0

- and, to make that possible, filesystem-detection now sees the true filesystem behind FUSE (for example ntfs-3g) 3bbed1b
audio-playback would skip into the next folder rather than play the rest of the current one if the folder was sufficiently massive 8e2fb05

- podman-systemd: fix paths in guide (thx @emiliatheworst!) a869839
- synology: better way to hide @eaDir 1b0eb45

add a loud warning in logs if X-Forwarded-Proto is not added by the reverseproxy ad45de9 1b222fb

#1105 better feedback in the login ui (thx @stackxp!) 08474db

39c3 has a LOT of awesome self-organized sessions
- didn't have anything copyparty-related this time but CCC HYPE!

download link	is it good?	description
copyparty-sfx.py	✅ the best 👍	runs anywhere! only needs python
copyparty-en.py	✅ also good	same but english-only, no i18n
a docker image	it's ok	good if you prefer docker 🐋
copyparty.exe	⚠️ acceptable	for win8 or later; built-in thumbnailer
u2c.exe	⚠️ acceptable	CLI uploader as a win7+ exe (video)
copyparty.pyz	⚠️ acceptable	similar to the regular sfx, mostly worse
copyparty-en.pyz	⚠️ acceptable	english-only, no smb-server
copyparty32.exe	⛔️ dangerous	for win7 -- never expose to the internet!
cpp-winpe64.exe	⛔️ dangerous	runs on 64bit WinPE, otherwise useless
bootable usb	┐(ﾟ∀ﾟ)┌	a surprisingly useful joke (x86_64)
