3.0.0 (August 25, 2020)

• BREAKING CHANGES:
  • If baseURI is set, server will only respond to requests with baseURI. For instance, if you use location /flood {proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;}, you would have to change it to location /flood {proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000/flood;}.
  • Static assets now use relative paths only. It is no longer needed to recompile after baseURI change.
  • Location of runtime files are rearranged. New default location for runtime files is ./run folder. tempPath is now made configurable.
  • Static assets are relocated to ./dist folder. You have to change the path from ./server/assets to ./dist/assets if you serve static assets from web server.
  • Flood will refuse to start if secrets are detected in static assets. Former default secret flood and some other weak secrets are no longer accepted.
• A command line interface is added as config.cli.js. Rename it to config.js and run npm run start -- --help for more details.
• With some changes, Flood is now ready for publish to npm. You can now use sudo npm install -g flood to get a ready-to-use copy of Flood, then run flood. It is even easier with npx, try npx flood --help now.
• Better localization:
  • Flood project is now integrated with Crowdin, a renowned translation management system. It is now easier than ever to contribute your translations to Flood.
  • Language will now be automatically detected from your browser by default.
  • New languages are supported: Čeština, Deutsch, italiano, norsk, Polskie, русский язык, Romanian, svenska, українська мова, 日本語 and اَلْعَرَبِيَّةُ thanks to Crowdin Machine Translation.
  • New translations for Chinese (Traditional) thanks to @vongola12324.
  • New translations for Dutch thanks to @NLxDoDge.
  • New translations for Portuguese thanks to @MiguelNdeCarvalho.
• Support for touch and smaller screen devices:
  • Sidebar is able to be collapsed via a button. It is collapsed by default when screen width is lower than 720px.
  • Modals (Settings, Torrent Details, Add Torrent, etc.) are tuned for smaller screen devices.
  • It is now possible to open context (right click) menu on iOS/Safari devices by long pressing the item.
  • Drag and drop is now possible for touch devices. You can now adjust the order of columns in Settings on touch devices.
  • Widths of columns are now adjustable on touch devices. (condensed view)
• Dark color scheme support:
  • Flood now automatically switches between light and dark color scheme based on your system settings.
• XML special chars (&, <, >, ', ") are properly handled. For instance, escaped chars like & will be properly displayed as & instead of &. File operations on torrent with special chars no longer fail.
• squashfs and tmpfs mount points are now excluded by default in disk usage. This hopefully makes sure that useless system mounts won't spam the list.
• More Info button in expanded view is removed.
• More dependencies are bumped to the latest revisions.

• Rate-limit the SCGI calls to rTorrent

• Implement "actity stream"
  • The Flood client no longer polls the Flood server on an interval. Instead, the Flood server polls rTorrent on a more regular interval and emits changes via an event-stream. This significantly reduces data usage on the Flood client
  • Stream covers torrent list, transfer rate summary & history, torrent taxonomy, and notification count.
• Close event stream after the window/tab has been inactive for 30 seconds
