auth.resetAdminOnStart has been removed. Instead, if you have auth.adminPassword set it will always be reset on startup. If you want to change your default admin password afterwards, make sure to unset auth.adminPassword so it doesn't get reset on startup.New Features:
source.config.neverWatchPaths is now functional -- a list of paths that get indexed initially, but skips re-indexing. Useful for directories you don't expect to change ever, still show up in search but get don't contribute to indexing time after initial indexing.Notes:

OIDC change: if you specify oidc.userIdentifier: "username", originally this would map to preferred_username but now it maps to username explicitly. To maintain the same behavior update your config to userIdentifier: "preferred_username". This was updated to allow for username to work as some might need.

This release cleans up some of the native preview (image preview) feature logic. And adds simple docx and epub viewers as well. Going through all of this, I think I know how I can add full-fledge google doc and microsoft office viewer support (no edit). But, for now "onlyOffice" remains the most comprehensive solution with most compatibility and ability to fully edit. One day, I think I will be able to integrate a minimal license-free server into the docker image. But that's something for another time.
Native preview (image preview) support is also available for linux arm64 and amd64 binaries, and windows exe.

[!WARNING] This release includes several config changes that could cause issues. Please backup your database file before upgrading.
This release has several changes that should work without issues... however, still backup your database file first and proceed with caution. User permissions and source config changes have been updated -- and the server.root paramter is no longer used.
