• Enhancement - Personal shares can be shown and hidden: #9531

  On the shared-with-me page, there is no distinction between pending, accepted
  and rejected shares anymore. Instead, the user can toggle to display either

  other devices.

  #9531

  queries which is now replaced by kql.

  sample.tx* Tags:important Tags:report Content:annual*

  Becomes

  name:"sample.tx*" AND tag:important AND tag:report AND content:"annual*"

  By default KQL uses AND as property restriction and the query described above
  can also be formulated as follows

  name:"sample.tx*" tag:important tag:report content:"annual*"

  More advanced syntax like grouping combined with boolean property restriction is
  supported too

  (name:"sample*" name:"*txt") tag:important OR tag:report content:"annual*"

  #9696
  #9872

• Enhancement - Unify sharing expiration date menu items: #9706

  We've unified the sharing expiration date menu item for links and regular

  that's on a server side banned password list.

  We've updated the preview app to have a more user friendly image browsing

  Nav items can now be registered with the new extension type

  We've changed the actions in the AppBar in Files app to show only create folder
  button instead of create and upload actions. In embed mode, it is possible to
  only create a new folder so it does not make sense to hide this action inside of
  a dropdown.

  #9768
  #9853

• Enhancement - Search query term linking: #9854

  We've added the option to search for multiple terms with the same type, at the
  moment only the tag search benefits from it.

  This makes it possible to search for multiple resources with different tags in
  one query. The UI now empowers the user to perform advanced searches like:

  • all resources with the tags tag1 OR tag2 * all resources with the tags
    tag1 OR tag2 AND containing text content

  As a rule of thumb, if a property appears multiple times (like tag1 OR tag2)
  the search combines the query with an OR and different keys are linked with an
  AND.

  #9829
  #9854

• Enhancement - Add permission to delete link passwords when password is enforced: #9857

  We've added the ability to allow deleting passwords on public links, even if the

  location. This value is then saved in the configuration.options object as
  embedTarget. When the value is set to location, it allows selecting the
  currentFolder as location instead of selecting resources.

  #9768
  #9863
  #9981

• Enhancement - Search tags filter chips style aligned: #9864

  #9905

• Enhancement - Reorganize "New" menu: #9906

  We've reorganized the "new" menu and added optional file extension indicators
  that will show if the user has file extensions enabled in the files view.

  #9906

  (.flac,.ogg, among others) get displayed correctly.

  account->preferences view.

  #9714
  #10062
