• read-only demo server at https://a.ocv.me/pub/demo/
• latest gzip edition of the sfx: v1.0.14

new features

• huge folders are lazily rendered for a massive speedup, #11
  • also reduces the number of ?tree requests; helps a tiny bit on server load
• selfdestruct timer on uploaded files -- see link for howto and side-effects
• ban clients trying to bruteforce passwords
  • arg --ban-pw, default 9,60,1440, bans for 1440min after 9 wrong passwords in 60min
  • clients repeatedly trying the same password (due to a bug or whatever) are not counted
  • does a /64 range-ban for IPv6 offenders
  • arg --ban-404, disabled by default, bans for excessive 404s / directory-scanning
    • but that breaks up2k turbo-mode and probably some other eccentric usecases
• waveform seekbar (screenshot)
• the up2k upload button can do folders recursively now
  • but only a single folder can be selected at a time, making drag-drop the obvious choice still
• gridview is now less jank, #12
• togglebuttons for desktop-notifications and audio-jingle when upload completes
• stop exposing uploader IPs when avoiding filename collisions
  • IPs are now HMAC'ed with urandom stored at ~/.config/copyparty/iphash
• stop crashing chrome; generate PNGs rather than SVGs for filetype icons
• terminate connections with SHUT_WR and flush with siocoutq
  • makes buggy enterprise proxies behave less buggy
  • do a read-spin on windows for almost the same effect
• improved upload scheduling
  • unfortunately removes the 0.0%, NaN:aN, N.aN MB/s easteregg
• arg --magic enables filetype detection on nameless uploads based on libmagic
• mtp modifiers to let tagparsers keep their stdout/stderr instead of capturing
  • c0 disables all capturing, c1 captures stdout only, c2 only stderr, and c3 (default) captures both
• arg --write-uplog enables the old default of writing upload reports on POSTs
  • kinda pointless and was causing issues in prisonparty
• upload modifiers for terse replies and to randomize filenames
• other optimizations
  • 30% faster tag collection on directory listings
  • 8x faster rendering of huge tagsets
• new mtps guestbook and guestbook-read, for example for comment-fields on uploads
• arg --stackmon now takes dateformat filenames to produce multiple files
• arg --mtag-vv to debug tagparser configs
• arg --version shows copyparty version and exits
• arg --license shows a list of embedded dependencies + their licenses
• arg --no-forget and volflag :c,noforget keeps deleted files in the up2k db/index
  • useful if you're shuffling uploads to s3/gdrive/etc and still want deduplication

bugfixes

• upload deduplication using symlinks on windows
• increase timeouts to run better on servers with extremely overloaded HDDs
  • arg --mtag-to (default 60 sec, was 10) can be reduced for faster tag scanning
• incorrect filekeys for files symlinked into another volume
• playback could start mid-song if skipping back and forth between songs
• use affinity mask to determine how many CPU cores are available
• restore .bin-suffix for nameless PUT/POSTs (disappeared in v1.0.11)
• fix glitch in uploader-UI when upload queue is bigger than 1 TiB
• avoid a firefox race-condition accessing the navigation history
• sfx tmpdir keepalive when flipflopping between unix users
• reject anon ftp if anon has no read/write
• improved autocorrect for poor ffmpeg builds
• patch popen on older pythons so collecting tags on windows is always possible
• misc ui/ux fixes
  • filesearch layout in read-only folders
  • more comfy fadein/fadeout on play/pause
  • total-ETA going crazy when an overloaded server drops requests
  • stop trying to play into the next folder while in search results
  • improve warnings/errors in the uploader ui
    • some errors which should have been warnings are now warnings
    • autohide warnings/errors when they are remedied
  • delay starting the audiocontext until necessary
    • reduces cpu-load by 0.2% and fixes chrome claiming the tab is playing audio

copyparty.exe

now introducing copyparty.exe!   only suitable for the rainiest of days ™

first thing you'll see when you run it is a warning to «please use the python-sfx instead»,

• copyparty.exe was compiled using 32bit python3.7 to support windows7, meaning it won't receive any security patches
• copyparty-sfx.py uses your system libraries instead so it'll stay safe for much longer while also having better performance

so the exe might be super useful in a pinch on a secluded LAN but otherwise Absolutely Not Recommended

you can download ffmpeg and ffprobe into the same folder if you want multimedia-info, audio-transcoding or thumbnails/spectrograms/waveforms -- those binaries were built with just enough features to cover what copyparty wants, but much like copyparty.exe itself (so due to security reasons) it is strongly recommended to instead grab a recent official build every once in a while

and finally some good news

• the chrome memory leak will be fixed in v107
• and firefox may fix the crash in v106 or so
• and the release title / this season's codename stems from a cpp instance recently being slammed with terabytes of uploads running on a struggling server mostly without breaking a sweat 👍
