After the config re-organisation, the setting of stringArray config
values (eg `--exclude` set with `RCLONE_EXCLUDE`) was broken and gave
a message like this for `RCLONE_EXCLUDE=*.jpg`:
Failed to load "filter" default values: failed to initialise "filter" options:
couldn't parse config item "exclude" = "*.jpg" as []string: parsing "*.jpg" as []string failed:
invalid character '/' looking for beginning of value
This was caused by the parser trying to parse the input string as a
JSON value.
When the config was re-organised it was thought that the internal
representation of stringArray values was not important as it was never
visible externally, however this turned out not to be true.
A defined representation was chosen - a comma separated string and
this was documented and tests were introduced in this patch.
This potentially introduces a very small backwards incompatibility. In
rclone v1.67.0
RCLONE_EXCLUDE=a,b
Would be interpreted as
--exclude "a,b"
Whereas this new code will interpret it as
--exclude "a" --exclude "b"
The benefit of being able to set multiple values with an environment
variable was deemed to outweigh the very small backwards compatibility
risk.
If a value with a `,` is needed, then use CSV escaping, eg
RCLONE_EXCLUDE="a,b"
(Note this needs to have the quotes in so at the unix shell that would be
RCLONE_EXCLUDE='"a,b"'

Before this change, rclone ignored the --password-command on the
rclone config setting except when decrypting an existing config file.
This change allows for offloading the password storage/generation into
external hardware key or other protected password storage.
Fixes#7859
Before this change, bisync proactively converted modtime precision when greater
than what the destination backend supported.
This dates back to a time before bisync considered the modifyWindow for same-side
comparisons. Back then, it was problematic to save a listing with 12:54:49.7 for
a backend that can't handle that precision, as on the next run the backend would
report the time as 12:54:50 and bisync would think the file had changed. So the
truncation was a workaround to anticipate this and proactively record the time
with the precision we expect to receive next time.
However, this caused problems for backends (such as dropbox) that round instead
of truncating as bisync expected.
After this change, bisync preserves the original precision in the listing
(without conversion), even when greater than what the backend supports, to avoid
rounding error. On the next run, bisync will compare it to the rounded time
reported by the backend, and if it's within the modifyWindow, it will treat them
as equivalent.
This adds a new optional parameter to the backend, to specify a path
to a unix domain socket to connect to, instead the specified URL.
The URL itself is still used for the rest of the HTTP client, allowing
host and subpath to stay intact.
This allows using rclone with the webdav backend to connect to a WebDAV
server provided at a Unix Domain socket:
rclone serve webdav --addr unix:///tmp/my.socket remote:path
rclone --webdav-unix-socket /tmp/my.socket --webdav-url http://localhost lsf :webdav:
