new features

try to keep track of RAM usage in the thumbnailer 95a5999
- very inaccurate, just wild guessing really, but probably good enough:
- an attempt to stop FFmpeg from eating all the RAM when generating spectrograms
- --th-ram-max specifies how much RAM it's allowed to use (default 6 GB), crank it up if thumbnailing is too slow now
much faster startup on devices with slow filesystems and lots of files in the volume root (especially android phones) f1358db
uncache button (in mediaplayer settings) a55e0d6
- rotates all audio URLs, in case the browser has a cached copy of a broken mp3 or whatnot
now possible to POST files without having to set the act: bput multipart field 9bc09ce
- mainly to support igloo irc and other simplistic upload clients
try to point the linux oom-killer at FFmpeg so it doesn't kill innocent processes instead dc8e621
- only works if copyparty has acces to /proc, so not in prisonparty, and maybe not in docker (todo)
UX:
- do another search immediately if a search-filter gets unchecked a4239a4
- several ie11 fixes (keyboard hotkeys and a working text editor) 2fd2c6b

POSTing files could block for a really long time if the database is busy (filesystem reindexing), now it schedules the indexing for later instead e8a653c
less confusing behavior when reindexing a file (keep uploader-ip/time if file contents turn out to be unmodified, and drop both otherwise) 226c7c3

better log messages when clients decide to disconnect in the middle of a POST 0243035
add a warning if copyparty is started with an account definition (-a) which isn't used in any volumes e01ba85
when running on macos, don't index apple metadata files (.DS_Store and such) d0eb014
- they are still downloadable by anyone with read-access, and still appear in directory listings for users with access to see dotfiles
added a log repacker to shrink/optimize old logs dee0950
and a contextlet example
