Major changes since 2.29

The database update script DOES need to be run.
The templates directory HAS changed.

A new service wide AUP can be enabled #1128 This will be presented for acceptance by both registered users and guests. The AUP version can be changed to present the service level AUP again if the details have changed. Note that files can still be downloaded without the service AUP. If there is interest in having the service AUP apply to non guest and non users then the system could be extended to force a click through for such users.

Downloads can now be restricted to only be allowed by users who have logged in #1126

Download counter no longer filters multiple downloads from a single IP address to a single download #1127

A secondary index on transfers.expires was added to aid cron job execution times #1129

The guest system can now be disabled #1125

Some more of the existing config options have now been documented #1130

The upload page graph is nicer and includes previous labels again #1124

Language translation bulk import #1131

Configuration changes

A new service_aup_min_required_version (default 0) allows for a version of a service wide AUP to be required. This should start at a value of 1 to use the first AUP version. See the configuration documentation https://github.com/filesender/filesender/blob/development/docs/v2.0/admin/configuration/index.md#service_aup_min_required_version for more details.

A new logs_limit_messages_from_same_ip_address (default false) was added to allow the previous filtering of download count by ip address to be enabled again if a running system has issues with counting every download.

A new option guest_support_enabled which defaults to true allows for the disabling of the guest system if desired.

The recipient_reminder_limit' configuration option is now used to limit the reminders to recipients rather than the guest_reminder_limit being used for that limit.
