What changed

Changed

• An embedded explorer speaks its visitor's language, and has a Language
  setting of its own. <filex-explorer> - and the explorer in any host that
  does not keep the person's preferences on their account - put the host's
  config.locale above everything, so every visitor read the host's language
  whatever their browser asked for. It now speaks the language picked in this
  browser under ⋯ → Language (kept in the browser, sent nowhere), then the
  account's language when a person is behind the credential, then the
  browser's languages that the server offers (language packs included: the
  embed loads the server's list when it mounts), then config.locale, then
  English. In such a personal embed a language picked there is saved to the
  account too, and the host's config.locale is no longer written to an
  account that has no language. The filex web app and desktop app keep the
  account's language (INTEGRATION.md → Language,
  task #275).

Fixed

• A PDF or office file can no longer take the server down while its text is
  read (GitHub #123). Some
  PDFs of about a megabyte sent the PDF reader into memory without end: one
  install's filex reached 27 GB and the kernel killed it, three times in a
  minute. PDF and office files are now read in a process of their own, with a
  memory ceiling and a two-minute limit; one that passes either is stopped,
  the file is found by its name only, and filex goes on. The ceiling is a new
  setting on Admin → Settings → General → Search settings, Memory for
  reading one file (search.extract_memory_mb, first value from
  FILEX_SEARCH_EXTRACT_MEMORY_MB): 0, the default, shares the indexing
  memory budget between the files read at once (256 MB to 1 GB). A job
  cancelled while filex stops is no longer recorded as a file without text
  (SEARCH.md → Content search).
• A queued job whose attempts are spent is not handed out again after a
  crash. The orphan recovery at startup put every job left running back in
  the queue, so a job that brought filex down came back at every start; one
  whose attempts are spent is now failed (interrupted: filex stopped while running it, and its attempts are spent), on SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL and
  Redis (GitHub #123).
• The desktop app no longer waits forever for a server's languages. A
  server that accepted the connection and never answered kept the window on
  "Connecting" with no Retry; the list is given up after ten seconds and the
  file list opens in English or Turkish (task #275).
• @brftech/filex's type declarations are valid TypeScript again.
  dist/index.d.ts carried loadLocales as its source - a function body and a
  default value in a declaration file - which a project that type-checks its
  libraries refused; it is now declared with @brftech/filex-core's type
  (task #275).
• The locale attribute of <filex-explorer> takes a language pack's
  language (locale="es"), as the package README says; it took only en
  and tr, and anything else was dropped (task #275).
