Release Notes - Version 0.1.2

We're thrilled to announce the first release of Flask File Share, version 0.1.2!

Overview:

Flask File Share is a Flask-based file sharing application with a wide range of functionalities, including a user-friendly web interface, API access, and a CLI app. Here's a brief overview of its key features:

User Authentication:

• Users can log in with a username and password to access file management functionalities.
• Authentication is implemented for both web interface and API access.

File Management:

• Users can upload, download, and view files through the web interface or API.
• Uploaded files are stored in a specified upload folder on the server.

File Listing and Sorting:

• The application provides a list of uploaded files along with their modification dates.
• Users can sort the list of files in ascending or descending order by modification date.

Last N Files Download API:

• An API endpoint allows users to download the last N uploaded files as a zip archive.
• Users can specify the number of files to include in the archive and provide a custom filename.

Markdown File Support:

• Markdown (.md) files can be viewed directly through the web interface, rendered as plain text for easier readability.

PWA Offline Access:

• The application can be installed as a Progressive Web App (PWA), enabling offline access for users.
• Users can access the application even in low-connectivity environments.

Caching Headers:

• The application sets caching headers to ensure users always access the latest content, preventing browser caching of rendered pages.

Enhanced CLI Integration:

• Users can run the server and CLI app using simple commands, facilitating easy interaction with the application.

Python Client Package:

• A Python client package is available for easy programmatic access to file management functionalities via the API.
• The package provides a client class for interacting with the API, simplifying tasks such as uploading, downloading, and listing files.
