Benchmarks three preview pipelines across all sample documents:
- BMP → AVIF (via pyvips)
- PNG → AVIF (via pyvips) — selected for production
- PNG only (no compression)
Results confirm PNG → AVIF as the optimal path:
- ~30 ms AVIF encode overhead
- 2.1× size reduction vs raw PNG
- Slightly faster than BMP → AVIF
Implement complete WebDAV file serving compatible with various clients from Windows File Explorer to more specialized sync tools. The old control WebSocket has been updated to part-DAV, part REST API instead. Implemented user:pass BASIC auth. Added UI and backend for creating tokens that avoid the need to use actual username and password for requests from CLI or DAV.

- Use modern tooling uv and bun
- Various changes to work with latest PyAV and PIL that have changed their API
- Improved image, video and document previews (uses AVIF, renders AVIF/HEIC/videos in HDR, faster processing)
- Fix a server hang in some cases where a folder was moved or renamed
- Log exceptions instead of only returning 500 response to client
- Log timing of preview generation functions
- Default to quality 50 in previews (previously 40)
