Full Release Notes
## What's Changed
**Security**:
- [Moderate] Conflicting upload responses no longer synchronously drain the request body before returning HTTP 409; the server now closes the body and marks the connection for closure, preventing denial-of-service from clients that never send EOF (CWE-400).
- Share download links no longer create links with token, instead they link to the UI prompting for password before download. If a direct download is required, the `/api/share/direct` api exists and documented by swagger. (#2888)
**New Features**:
- Added Storage Quotas
- configurable by folder, source, user, and share.
- Administrators can create, edit, view, and delete folder quotas through the interface.
- Quota information now appears in source views, share details, sidebar progress bars, and folder prompts.
- Enhancements to the editor (#2714):
- Added a floating button to open a resizable split view with live editing for markdown files, the scrolling is synced in both sides and scrolling in single-view modes (the viewer and editor in non-split) now also tries to sync with each other so you don't lose context easily.
- Added a toolbar: This toolbar is present on all the files.
- JSON files have a button to toggle between formatted and minified versions (#2854) (#2566).
- Markdown files have a richer toolbar with lots of quick actions, for example you can now browse, navigate and insert images more easily from your current source.
- Added a prompt to configure some editor settings in UI, that prompt is accessible via the toolbar in the three-dots menu, there you can configure things like:
- Word wrap, keybinds, autocompletion, scrollbar, etc.
- The markdown viewer now supports rendering LaTeX Math and Chemistry formulas.
- Improved and fixed some styles that weren't following the app light/dark theme (#2949).
- Proxy auth group support: `groupsClaim`, `adminGroup`, and `userGroups` now control role-based access when the proxy sends a group/role header (#2755). Admin is determined by `adminGroup` only.
- Support for `.elrc` (word-by-word lyrics), `.vtt`, `.srt` sidecar files for lyrics in audio files in the media player. (#2838)
- Added setting to configure the placement of the prompts close button in profile settings (#2853) (#2595).
- Added "New file templates". You can now add and configure pre-defined filenames + extension for the creation of new files in the context menu on profile settings! (#2881) (#1239).
- sidebar links can be bulk edited as yaml (#1963) (settings > user management)
- admins can customize more defaults:
- share creation defaults and enforcements (#1692) (#2434) (#2279) (#2812) (settings > share management)
- sidebar link defaults and enforcements (#2561) (settings > user management)
- tool defaults and enforcement (settings > user management)
- Sort header in file listings inside prompts like move/copy/quick jump, is now sticky. Also added a button to show a search input and filter the items of the current listing (#3028).
- Quick jump now scrolls and highlights the current item you are previewing (#3028).
- When hovering `date` and `name` in the listings, will show up the formatted/raw date (the inverse of what you have configured to display) and the full filename (#3028) (#2623).
- User groups can now be managed from the WebUI under `User Management` -> `Groups` and when editing a user (#2983) (#3040).
**Notes**:
- Moved `auth.adminUsername` and `auth.adminPassword` to `auth.methods.password` (legacy top-level keys are migrated automatically on load).
- An Admin can remove a `defautlEnabled` source for a user and it will remove removed until an admin adds it back.
- Enhancements to cross-source copy/move permissions and behavior.
- Improved resume upload behavior.
- Play/pause on videos in mobile now is toggled by the button in the middle rather than the whole container (#2828).
- improved video thumbnail generation speed and efficiency.
- Added icons based on extension to the upload prompt and new file/folder/rename prompts (#2881).
- Profile settings show minimal options by default. Full advanced profile settings can be shown by default by enabling `account.showAdvancedProfile`.
- sidebar links/navigation is button group toggle for clearer visibility
- Pop-up preview has 200ms debounce delay so it doesn't flash from moving the cursor across files quickly.
- Polished a bit some styles across various places of the UI (#3019) (#3028).
- Moved `Access Management` under `User Management` in the UI (#3040).
- improved developer experience with native vue webhook reloads.
- improved ffmpeg handling and concurrency via library upgrades
**Bug Fixes**:
- Undo in a fresh opened file on the editor was setting the file empty (#2714)
- Added some missing styles in the markdown viewer (#2714)
- Recaptcha not working (#1925) (#2861)
- Fix disk-usage overstatement on virtiofs bind mounts (#2894)
- Support non-ASCII share passwords (#2933)
- Fall back to buffered copies when FUSE rejects fast paths (#2938)
- Preserve deleted sidebar links across restarts (#2935)
- scope padding to listing view (#2934)
- Hide the Replace option on upload/create conflict prompts when the user lacks modify permission (or when a public share disallows replacements), so create-only users are not offered an action that the server rejects (#2837)
- Preserve Ctrl-click file selection when keyboard state is stale (#2958) (#2923)
- Avoid false stalls during parallel transfers (#2950) (#2948) thanks @gudcks0305
- Cap source usage-bar percentage at 100% when indexed size exceeds partition total (#2761) (#2238)
- On Linux, source partition totals sum distinct filesystems mounted under the source root (nested mounts) so usage bars match indexed content (#2761)
- Context menu stuck when opened from a listing in a prompt like move/copy or search (#3028).
