* [v1.14.3 (2024-08-30)](https://github.com/9001/copyparty/releases/tag/v1.14.3) fixed a bug that was introduced in v1.13.8 (2024-08-13); this bug could lead to **data loss** -- see the v1.14.3 release-notes for details

## 🧪 new features

* #139 overwrite existing files by uploading over them e9f78ea7
  * default-disabled; a new togglebutton in the upload-UI configures it
  * can optionally compare last-modified-time and only overwrite older files
* [GDPR compliance](https://github.com/9001/copyparty#GDPR-compliance) (maybe/probably) 4be0d426

## 🩹 bugfixes

* some cosmetic volflag stuff, all harmless b190e676
  * 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 
* the option to customize the loader-spinner would glitch out during the initial page load 7d7d5d6c
