Major changes
- Database backend switched from LevelDB to SQLite. These is a migration on first launch which can be lengthy for larger setups. The new database is easier to understand and maintain and, hopefully, less buggy.
- Modernised command line options parsing. Old single-dash long options are no longer supported, e.g.
-homemust be given as--home. All serve options are now also accepted as environment variables. - Rolling hash detection of moving data is no longer supported as this effectively never helped. Instead, scanning and syncing is faster and more efficient without it.
