## 🧪 new features

* make the config-parser more helpful regarding volflags a255db70
  * if an unrecognized volflag is specified, print a warning instead of silently ignoring it
  * understand volflag-names with Uppercase and/or kebab-case (dashes), and not just snake_case (underscores)
  * improve `--help-flags` to mention and explain all available flags
* #136 WebDAV: support COPY 62ee7f69

## 🩹 bugfixes

* #136 WebDAV fixes 62ee7f69
  * COPY/MOVE/MKCOL: challenge clients to provide the password as necessary
    * most clients only need this in PROPFIND, but KDE-Dolphin is more picky
  * MOVE: support `webdav://` Destination prefix as used by Dolphin, probably others
* #136 WebDAV: improve support for KDE-Dolphin as client 9d769027
  * it masquerades as a graphical browser yet still expects 401, so special-case it with a useragent scan

## 🔧 other changes

* Docker-only: quick hacky fix for the [musl CVE](https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2025/02/13/1) until the official fix is out 4d6626b0
  * ~~the docker images will be rebuilt when `musl-1.2.5-r9.apk` is released, in 6~24h or so~~
    * the docker images have been rebuilt with the proper fix
  * ~~until then, there is no support for reading korean XML files when running in docker~~

## 🗿 known issues 

* some cosmetic volflag stuff, all harmless
  * disabling a volflag `foo` with `-foo` shows a warning that `-foo` was not a recognized volflag, but it still does the right thing
  * some volflags give the *"unrecognized volflag, will ignore"* warning, but not to worry, they still work just fine:
    * `xz` to allow serverside xz-compression of uploaded files
