⚠️ ATTN: this release fixes an ftp/sftp issue with shares

GHSA-67rw-2x62-mqqm: when a share is created for just one or more files inside a folder, it was possible to use FTP or SFTP to access the other files inside that folder by guessing the filenames
- so ignore this issue if you did not enable ftp or sftp in the server config
it was not possible to descend into subdirectories in this manner; only the sibling files were accessible
NOTE: this does NOT affect filekeys; this is specifically regarding the shr global-option
password-protected shares were not affected through SFTP, only FTP

this release also fixes GHSA-rcp6-88mm-9vgf but that one is nothing to worry about

recent important news

the first cve is still by far the worst, none of the others even close... so at least that's nice
- if you saw the cve notification and got all worked up, here's some comfy music to relax and upgrade copyparty to

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)
