New Version 4.0

This next major version release 4.0 is ddrive written from scratch. It comes with most requested features and several improvements.

• Now uses postgres to store files metadata. Why?
  • Once you have huge amount of data stored on ddrive it makes ddrive significantly slow to start since ddrive have to fetch all the metadata from discord channel (For 3 TB of data it takes me 30+ minutes.)
  • With postgres, deleting file is extremely faster because now ddrive don't have to delete files on discord channel and just need to remove from metadata only.
  • With postgres now it's possible to move or rename files/folders which was impossible with older version.
• Added support for rename files/folders.
• Added support to move file/folder (Only via API, Not sure how to do it with frontend, PR welcomes.).
• Now uses webhooks instead of bot/user tokens to bypass the discord rate limit.
• DDrive now uploads file chunks in parallel with limit. Which significantly increase the upload speed. I was able to upload file with 5GB of size in just 85 seconds. - Issue - [Suggestion] Use webhooks to bypass rate limits #12
• Public access mode - It is not now possible to provide users read-only access with just one config var. Issue - Make the files accessible without having to login #43
• Batch upload files - Now you can upload multiple files at once from panel. (DClone support has been removed from this version) Issue - [SUGGESTION] Batch Upload Files  #36
• Bug fix - download reset for few mobile devices. Issue - Downloads are resetting for some reason #21
• Added support for optional encryption to files uploaded to discord. - Issue [SUGGESTION] Add encryption #29
• DDrive now has proper rest API with OpenAPI 3.1 standards.
• Added support for dark/light mode on panel.

I spent several weeks finalizing this new version. Any support is highly appreciated - Buy me a coffee
