 All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. For commit guidelines, please refer to [Standard Version](https://github.com/conventional-changelog/standard-version).

-## v2.0.2
-
- **Bugfixes**:
- - OIDC: `groupsClaim` value is always included in requested scopes and falls back to the UserInfo endpoint when the ID token omits the groups claim.
- - Windows: fix backslash duplication in navigation URLs, folder sizes showing 4 KB, and download/preview failures (#2815, #2816)
- - Wrong extension in the 'new database was created popup (#2817) (#2824)
- - External subtitles fail to load on public video shares due to authenticated subtitle endpoint (#2822) (#2827)
- - OnlyOffice is inaccessible on password-protected shares (#2811)
- - FFmpeg 9.0 incorrectly detected as below minimum 5.0.0 on Windows (#2820) -- thanks @yzxcj797
-
-## v2.0.1
-
- **Security**:
- - [High] Symlink following on read paths no longer escapes source or user/share scope (GHSA-mgqf-5mf5-prfj) -- thanks @je-lv @KasperBuilds
- - [Moderate] Absolute paths in API path/file parameters could bypass user scope and read files outside the source mount (GHSA-rqqq-wv83-rp74) -- thanks @Wei-Leo
- - [Moderate] Logout did not invalidate session JWTs with equivalent Base64URL spellings (GHSA-8m35-wcjh-95q7) -- thanks @corbanvilla @soh3e @dderpym (This vulnerability was discovered as part of a U.C. Berkeley security research project by: Corban Villa, Sohee Kim, and Austin Chu)
- - [Moderate] Stored XSS via unsanitized DOCX hyperlink in DocViewer (GHSA-9wm6-jcjh-3m8c) -- thanks @karen93shieh @je-lv @EclipsSec
- - [Moderate] Revoked JWTs could still authenticate on public-share and withOrWithoutUser routes until natural expiry, bypassing logout and Api-permission revocation on that surface (GHSA-4wmj-rq3c-m65v) -- thanks @hypnguyen1209
-
- **Notes**:
- - GroupMap `SyncUserGroups` fix so JWT/OIDC/LDAP group memberships survive restart (#2742).
- - Session renew is handled by client keep-alive. removed per-request `X-Renew-Token` header handling.
- - Improvements to document thumbnail generation performance.
- - behavior changes for typing to select files in listing view.
- - next/previous buttons don't hide automatically on photos (#2767)
- - added more actions available in advanced search (#2776)
-
- **Bugfixes**:
- - GroupMap mutations (`SyncUserGroups`, add/remove group members) are write-through to SQL so JWT/OIDC/LDAP group memberships survive restart (#2742).
- - `defaultEnabled` behavior change/fix so defaultEnabled means its always added to users on startup and login. (updated docs too)
- - Long uploads/downloads no longer lose the session mid-transfer: proactive session JWT keep-alive renews before expiry (#2638).
- - Disable auto logout/session expiry if there are active file transfers going (#2638)
- - upload options get cut off on mobile (#2685)
- - Uploading image: image gets cut-off (#2765)
- - Process aborts (not just 500) during PDF thumbnail generation (#2763)
- - PDF preview generation prevents file uploads from completing (#2752)
- - Brings back double-tap to zoom images that was mistakenly removed.
- - multiple embedded subtitles with same language bug (#2756)
- - gallery view download button missing (#2767)
- - fixed HEIC rotation regression from v1.5.x
- - fixed raw image preview regression from v1.5.x
- - html viewer takes full height
- - Members without download permission receive 403 when opening text-based files despite OnlyOffice preview being enabled (#2777)
-
-## v2.0.0
-
-This version represents the most significant change to date. It **requires** both a database migration and config structural changes. See the [migration guide](https://filebrowserquantum.com/en/docs/getting-started/v2/migration/) for step-by-step upgrade instructions, [About v2.0.0](https://filebrowserquantum.com/en/docs/getting-started/v2/about/) for a full summary, and the [config migration tool](https://filebrowserquantum.com/en/docs/getting-started/v2/config-migration/) to convert legacy config.
-
- **Breaking Changes**:
- - Removed: `GET /api/raw` and `GET /public/api/raw` download routes — use `/api/resources/download` instead.
- - Removed: `/share/…` URL redirect to `/public/share/…` — use `/public/share/…` directly.
- - Removed: singular `source` search api param (use `sources`), bare `scope` paths without `sourceName:` prefix, and `glob` / `useGlob` aliases (use `useWildcard`).
- - Removed `config.conditionals`, source-level `indexingIntervalMinutes` (indexing always uses adaptive scheduling), and deprecated rule fields `fileNames` / `folderNames` / top-level `hidden` — use `config.rules` with `fileName`, `folderName`, and `ignoreHidden` on rules. See [Exclusion rules](https://filebrowserquantum.com/en/docs/user-guides/general-configuration/exclusion-rules/).
- - Removed: deprecated `userDefaults` config formats (nested and flat) — use the [config migration tool](https://filebrowserquantum.com/en/docs/getting-started/v2/config-migration/) to convert before upgrading.
- - Changed: `PUT /api/users` moved to the more appropriate `PATCH` method and requires specifying `which` in the body. Blank or `all` values are rejected.
- - Changed: http related config options in `server` config key moved to `http` config key. See [HTTP settings](https://filebrowserquantum.com/en/docs/configuration/http/).
- - Changed (reverse proxy): `http.trustedHeaders` (v1.5.x list) removed — use `http.trustProxyHeaders: true` when behind nginx, Traefik, or Caddy. When enabled, FileBrowser honors `X-Forwarded-Host`, `X-Forwarded-Proto`, `X-Forwarded-For`, and `X-Real-IP` for client IP, cookies, OIDC callbacks, WebAuthn, share URLs, rate limiting, and activity logs. Default is `false` (direct connection values). The [config migration tool](https://filebrowserquantum.com/en/docs/getting-started/v2/config-migration/) converts v1 `trustedHeaders` lists to `trustProxyHeaders: true`. See [Reverse proxy](https://filebrowserquantum.com/en/docs/getting-started/reverse-proxy/) and [HTTP trustProxyHeaders](https://filebrowserquantum.com/en/docs/configuration/http/#trustproxyheaders).
- - Changed: `FILEBROWSER_DATABASE` environment variable — use `FILEBROWSER_DATABASE_PATH` instead. See [Environment variables](https://filebrowserquantum.com/en/docs/reference/environment-variables/) and [Server settings](https://filebrowserquantum.com/en/docs/configuration/server/).
- - Changed: Moved stream api to `/api/media/stream`. See [API reference](https://filebrowserquantum.com/en/docs/reference/api/).

-   - Loop now has 3 states (off/single/all) and neither of them will clear the existing queue (#2600).
-   - New "Audio visualizer" for audio files (desktop-only), you can configure some basic things to your taste (#2575) (#2620).
-   - The current state of the audio panel now is stored into local storage.
-   - More gestures: Swipe up to enter/exit fullscreen, long-press to change playback speed, single tap to pause (#2575).
-   - Videos now will resume fullscreen and PiP when navigating (queue auto-navigation, swipes gestures or next/previous) (#2649).
- - Added `F4` shortcut to refresh the current directory and metadata (#2600).
- - opt-in feature to send deployment analytics to filebrowser quantum developer servers
-   - anonymized with a viewer so users can see what info would be sent.
-   - if opt-in, every month a snapshot of your deployment config would be sent to developer servers
-   - this will help me know what features are being used and what versions everyone is on over time. I will also provide a public dashboard with this information in the future. 
- - WebDAV now supports set modification time via the `X-OC-Mtime` header for clients that support it (#2626). See [WebDAV docs](https://filebrowserquantum.com/en/docs/features/webdav/).
- - Copy operations now preserve their original modification times (#2642) (#2647):
-   - WebUI preserves both, files and directories.
-   - WebDAV `COPY` preserves modification times only for files, is limitation we have with webdav.

See [Environment variables](https://filebrowserquantum.com/en/docs/reference/environment-variables/) and [Server settings](https://filebrowserquantum.com/en/docs/configuration/server/).
- - CLI: `user set` with `--password` (inline value, interactive prompt on TTY, or piped stdin); `user promote` for admin grant without password reset. See [CLI reference](https://filebrowserquantum.com/en/docs/reference/cli/).
-
- **Notes**:
- - v2.x.x uses a new write-through backend state management. Changes go through a fast memory layer and also write changes to database to stay in sync. See [About v2.0.0](https://filebrowserquantum.com/en/docs/getting-started/v2/about/).

+## Roadmap
+
+Check the [Project Roadmap](https://github.com/users/gtsteffaniak/projects/4/views/2) to see issues sorted by priority. This helps you understand what features are planned and where you can contribute most effectively.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Build failures:**
+```bash
+# Frontend
+cd frontend && rm -rf node_modules && npm install
+
+# Backend
+cd backend && go mod tidy && go clean -modcache
+```
+
+**Authentication Issues:**
+
+Always first enable debug logging in your config file if you have issues.
+
+1. **OIDC Login Fails:**
+   - Check redirect URLs match your config
+   - Verify OIDC provider settings
+   - Enable debug logs to see auth flow
+   - Common issue: mismatched callback URLs
+
+2. **Proxy Auth Not Working:**
+   - Verify header names match config
+   - Check nginx/reverse proxy passes headers
+   - Test with: `curl -H "X-Auth: username" localhost:8080`
+   - Enable `--log-level debug` to see headers
+
+3. **TOTP Issues:**
+   - Ensure server time is synchronized
+   - Check QR code generation in logs
+   - Test with authenticator app time settings
+   - Database might have stale TOTP secrets
+
+4. **Session/Cookie Problems:**
+   - Clear browser cookies and localStorage
+   - Verify cookie domain settings
+   - Try incognito/private browsing mode

 Notable features that this fork *does not* have (removed):
+
+ - :construction: jobs are not supported yet.
 - ❌ shell commands are completely removed and will not be returned.

 FileBrowser Quantum differs significantly from the original version. Many of these changes required a significant overhaul. Creating a fork was a necessary process to make the program better. There have been many growing pains, but a stable release is planned and coming soon.

+## System Requirements
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Every file and directory in the source gets indexed (by default). This enables powerful features such as instant search, but large source filesystems can increase your system requirements. [See indexing wiki](https://github.com/gtsteffaniak/filebrowser/wiki/Indexing) for more info.
+
+ - **Memory**: depends on configured source complexity. See [how much RAM does it require?](https://github.com/gtsteffaniak/filebrowser/discussions/787)
+ - **GPU**: Not currently used (planned)
+
 ## The UI

 The UI has a simple three-component navigation system:

  1. (Left) Multi-action button with slide-out panel.
-  2. (Middle) The powerful search bar / title
-  3. (Right) The view change toggle / overflow menu
+  2. (Middle) The powerful search bar.
+  3. (Right) The view change toggle.

 All other functions are moved either into the action menu or pop-up menus.
 If the action does not depend on context, it will exist in the slide-out
 action panel. If the action is available based on context, it will show up as
 a pop-up menu.
