9001/copyparty v1.7.0

unlinked

on GitHub

don't get excited! nothing new and revolutionary, but xvol and xdev changed behavior so there's an above-average chance of fresh bugs

• read-only demo server at https://a.ocv.me/pub/demo/
• docker image ╱ similar software ╱ client testbed

new features

• (#24): xvol and xdev, previously just hints to the filesystem indexer, now actively block access as well:
  • xvol stops users following symlinks leaving the volumes they have access to
    • so if you symlink /home/ed/music into /srv/www/music it'll get blocked
    • ...unless both folders are accessible through volumes, and the user has read-access to both
  • xdev stops users crossing the filesystem boundary of the volumes they have access to
    • so if you symlink another HDD into a volume it'll get blocked, but you can still symlink from other places on the same FS
  • enabling these will add a slight performance hit; the unlikely worst-case is 14% slower directory listings, 35% slower download-as-tar
• file selection summary (num files, size, audio duration) in the bottom right
• u2cli: more aggressive resolving with --rh
• add a warning that the default powersave settings in android may stop playing music during album changes
  • also appears in the media player if the issue is detected at runtime (playback halts for 30sec while screen is off)

bugfixes

• (#23): stop autodeleting empty folders when moving or deleting files
  • but files which expire / self-destruct still clean up parent directories like before
• ftp-server: some clients could fail to mkdir at first attempt (and also complain during rmdir)

other changes

• new version of cpp-winpe64.exe since the ftp-server fix might be relevant
