-v2.9.1.
-Added newest features to more language packs.
-Hindu has the latest features.
-Italian has the latest features.
-Korean has the latest features.
-Still need to add latest features to...
-Portuguese,
-Russian,
-Ukranian,
-& Chinese.
-v2.8.9.
-Added a "Share File" button to convertGui2.php for creating & copying a link to the file.
-Allows users to generate shareable URLs.
-Added $AllowUserShare in conig.php for disabling the share file feature.
-Currently the Share file feature is only avaialble in the English language pack.
-I expect to have all the language packs caught up in the next update.
-v2.8.8.
-Fixed the way User ScanCore Scans are called.
-Reworked the way Scan Errors & Scan Complete is determined.
-Revised logic to avoid errors during normal operation.
-Both User Scan Methods successfully detected the Eicar test virus sample.
-v2.8.4.
-Fixed an undefined variable warning in the virusScan() function.
-Cleaned up memory deallocation routine in the virusScan() function.
-Only enable file related operations if valid tokens have been supplied.
-Improved sanitization integrity.
-Combined the functionality of HRScan2 into HRConvert2.
-Now users can select to scan uploaded files for viruses on-demand using ClamAV or zelon88/ScanCore.
-The codebases for both are "sisters" so maintainence has always been a pain.
-Whenever one gets updated a lot of the code needed to be modified and merged into the other one.
-Considering the major refactor that just took place with HRConvert2 (which took almmost 38 caffene fueled hours) I figure we would merge functionality instead of refactoring another core.
-These features can be disabled via config.php.
-Some administrators won't want users uploading potentially malicious files, which makes sense.
-If $UserVirusScanning is enabled in config.php the HRScan2 features will be savailable.
-If $UserVirusScanning is not enabled in config.php the HRScan2 features will be unavailable.
-This behaviour change requires some changes to the way regular virus scanning is performed.
-If $UserVirusScanning is enabled we must disable regular virus scanning during the file upload phase.
-Note that all other regular virus scan operations are still enforced.
-Meaning that if a user uploads a file that is infected, they will still NOT be allowed to perform download, conversion, archive, or OCR operations on them.
-They WILL be allowed to scan the file using User Virus Scan options.
-Also if a normal virus scan detects a malicious file while $AllowUserVirusScan is enabled, the file WILL NOT be immediately deleted.
-It will be allowed to remain until regular cleanup activities remove it (after the $DeleteThreshold has passed).
-Added color specific down arrow buttons to the GUI.
-Added Download File button to convertGui2.php page.
-Now you can redownload any file in the HRConvert2 scratch space.
-Added Scan File & Scan All buttons to convertGui2.php page.
-Added config entry for adjusting the backround color of the GUI.
-Added config entry for adjusting the loading spinner style.
-Added 6 spinners for each color scheme (24 spinners total).
-Can now specify your own spinner in config.php.
-Refactored convertGui2.php file for English & Arabic so far.
-Need to continue doing the rest.
-Only English & Arabic language packs have support for the new API features related to User Virus Scans.
-Updated ERROR_DESCIPTIONS.txt with the latest errors related to virus scanning.
-Fixed dropdown boxes showing reversed in Arabic language pack.
-Made dropdown arrow colors match the color scheme being used.

-Moved ICON_CREDITS.txt to Documentation directory.
-Cleaned up the comment intro section to all PHP files to have the same basic formatting & structure.
-Polish the README some more.
-Make logs respect the $ApplicationName variable as soon as it becomes available.
-No more hardcoded "HRConvert2" in log entries.
-Moved styleCore.php to Resources directory, since it only contains 4 front-end related variables and no logic of its own.
-The goal is to cleanup the root of the repo to make it more presentable & approacable for newbies.
-All the important files related to logic are in the root of the repo.
-Makes the repo more modular as well.
-Make $_GET['language'] codes language case-insensitive.
-Log files are now named after the $ApplicationName variable set in config.php rather than using HRConvert2 in the filename.
-Reordered some logic.
-Disable GUI compilation when responding to a file operation request.
-The front end doesn't use output from the core anyway.
-This clears the way to enable such functionality by controlling the when GUI elements are actually needed.
-No longer throws 404 errors when a file conversion fails.
-No longer opens compatible files in the browser but starts a download instead.
-No more HTML undefined errors when requesitng a download.
-Added a check to verifySessionHash() function to make sure the $Salts variables are formatted as strings.
-v2.8.
-Shortened some of the longer lines of code in convertCore.php.
-Fixed bugs during some operations when $VirusScan is set to TRUE in config.php.
-Update dropzone.js & dropone.css to latest release.
-Thinking about adding the option to scan with ClamAV & zelon88/ScanCore.
-This will effectively merge the zelon88/HRScan2 project into HRConvert2.
-Thinking about adding Pell editor (port from HRCloud2 & update) to enable real-time in browser document editing.
-Going to start working on the next feature release.
-Tick... Tock.
-v2.8.
-Refactor the core.
-The original codebase was developed more than 4 years ago.
-The first unpublished experiments began in 2014.
-The "generation" of the HRConvert2 codebase until today was "Valkyrie".
-HonestRepair server side software comes in 3 generations.
-The first generation is unsafe to use. It is part of the "zelon88/HRToolkitTools" repo.
-It was called the "Genesis" engine because it was a proof-of-concept design.
-Hence the name "Genesis".
-The second generation is performant & safe to use but hard to maintain.
-It is called the "Valkyrie" engine because the runtime environment is "dynamically constructed".
-The "Valkyrie" in Norse mythology is any of a group of maidens who serves the god Odin.
-Valkyrie's were also the "Choosers of the slain" and decided who would die on the battlefield.
-Because the "Valkyrie" codebase is made up of one main core served by smaller cores that dynamically call dependencies.
-Hence the name "Valkyrie" is very fitting.
-The third and current generation is called "Diablo". It is secure, performant, & modular.
-"Diablo" is Spanish for Devil.
-The coding convention was introduced in the "Zelon88/HRCloud3" alpha repo and is currently under active development.
-If you're a major Cloud provider you should fear Diablo.
-Removes most core output except from log files or when logs cannot be reached.
-Uses a more consistent logging/error catching mechanism.
-Makes the core extremely modular and easy to work on.
-Adding new features is easier because logging and error functions are repeatable & consistent.
-Output is consistent.
-Logic flow is capable of withstanding non-fatal errors.
-Before we stopped execution for a lot more things.
-Logic behavior is more intuitive.
-Errors produced use incremental error numbers that can be easily adjusted or documented.
-Log generation happens earlier during execution, meaning more logs can be captured.
-More logs means problems are easier to identify & debug.
-Switching to a modern design will mean more interoperability of functions between applications.
-It becomes easier to apply simiilar patches to other products.
-I don't have to look at my old code anymore.
-Programmers grow. Programming styles change.
-I am a better programmer now than I was when I first wrote this.
-There will probably be bugs introduced and regressions but at least I'll enjoy working on the codebase again.
-This work needed to get done eventually anyway considering it will be needed for HRCloud3.
-Added $Verbose config entry for controlling the amount of logging performed.
-If $Verbose is set to TRUE every significant operation will create a log entry.
-If $Verbose is set to FALSE only errors will create a log entry.
-$VirusScan config entry now only accepts boolean values.
-Improve formatting of config.php file for readability.
-All conversions except archive conversions now receive 5 conversion attempts.
-Previously it was only for documents and the threshold was 10 attempts.
-Reworked the way the document conversion engine is started and verified.
-Removed a lot of unused variables.
-Started using the same capitalization scheme as HRCloud3 (Diablo style).
-Lower case first letter variables denote highly limited scope.
-Upper case first letter variables denote very wide (almost global) scope.
-I know that PHP takes care of memory cleanup, and I know how variable scope works in functions.
-I also don't care.
-Doing the capitalization scheme and manually NULL'ing + unsetting variables helps me keep track of variables.
-I came up with this scheme exactly because I kept seeing dead variables in my code and I wanted it to stop.
-This forces accountability for all variables and puts visiblity on most of them.
-So when one of them isn't used anywhere it kind of stands out.
-Refactored Javascript a tiny bit.
-Now the core will remember when you leave and come back for a short while.
-Added unique identifier for logs.
-Makes searching logs much easier because requests group together.
-Core now captures the stdout of it's dependencies.
-Writes to log if $Verbose is set to TRUE.
-Changed extraction behaviour for archive conversions.
-Archive conversions where the destination folder already exists will have the new contents ADDED to the original archive instead of replacing them.
-You can now build archives in this fashion, admittedly it is not for the faint of heart.
-Remove sanitizeCore.php.
-This has been replaced by the verifyGlobals() function in convertCore.php.
-This was a suggestion made about 5 years ago on Reddit. It finally happened!
-I worked on this commit for 30 hours straight with no sleep.
-With only one consecutive 90 minute break to take a phone call.
-Then I took a 3 hour nap and finished the rest, over the next 8 hours.
-I am recovering from a broken leg and surgery to fix it and I still have a couple more weeks to go.
-Send halp!
-v2.7.5.
-Added code to each UI in Languages to prevent execution without the core having been loaded already.

-Remove tar.bz2 option from archiveAll menu.
-Rework the way archiveAll feature is accomplished.
-Improve logging consistencies.

-v2.6.
-Improve sanitization per Issue #4.
-Github user @robre pointed out some typos in sanitizeCore.php, specifically lines 95 & line 96 from v2.4.
-These bugs mean to me that I need to review more of this code.
-Thank you, @robre!
-v2.0.
-Consolidate some code in similar fashion to the recent HRC2 refactor.
-Now when no extension is specified a default will be used instead of displaying a 404 error.
-Tweak auto-cleaner to make it work in a safer, more reliable way.
-Add conversion and archive support for tar.bz2.
-Now when bulk archives are created any converted files will be included in the archive as well as the originals.
-Fix the way files sync between locations and the way symlinks are controlled.
-v1.9.
-Added checks for dangerous files to all Convert operations and to the GUI.
-Fix PDF files showing the image options button when there is no div to display.
-Added this changelog to keep track of thoughts, changes, and ideas.
-v1.6.
-Refactor the way required directories are handled.
-Use a for loop to define and create required directories instead of using a bunch of WET static code.
-Separated the mechanisms for replacing index files in hosted directories for document root protection.
-v1.4.
-After being unable to get the janitor working and finally getting frustrated by how terrible it's always been I decided to go a different route with auto-cleanup.
-This seems to work much better and it's about 1/4 the amount of code as before.
-v1.2.
-Added support for .mov video files.
-Tweaked displayed options for .mp4 files.
-Added back and refresh buttons to gui2.
-Fix 256mb max filesize.
-Tweak dropzone settings.
-Now 10 files upload in parallel with no filesize limit.
-v0.9.
-GUI about 3/4 of the way done.
-Fixed bugs, finished GUI page 2 of 3.
-Now we configure and fine tune the core outputs and design a third GUI element for returning the converted files to the user.
-Plus a whole bunch of testing/fixing after that...
-v0.8.9.
-Already moved away from user-agent as a token variable. Async callbacks don't work.
-Now we have 2x server-provided tokens. One is unique and the other is derived from a hash of the first token and the config Salts.
-So even if an attacker spoofs the IP and guesses a correct token with active temp files he's still going to need to craft a second token using the first token and 6x server-side salts in order to access files that will probably be deleted within minutes anyway.
-v0.8.8.
-HRConvert2 now enables more secure passive identification of users by introducing a $Token variable.
-The token is set by the server and given to the client to use for accessing their files.
-The token is NOT the only factor in identifying users.
-The token is used to hash a UUID along with the IP and user-agent.
-If the IP is blank or masked we do our best to identify it by various means.
-If the user-agent is blank we hash 2x 10-digit random numbers and use that instead.
-This should be good enough to avoid collisions on LAN's with crazy DHCP as well as being open to an internet full of bots, botnets, and proxies.
-v0.8.6.
-Enabled styles on GUI.
-Styled select boxes.
-Enabled $Font from the config to actually control fonts used in the GUI.
-Added a bunch of icons and credits.
-Tweak GUI element placement through the entire app.
-Refactored WET code to DRY code by removing common elements from the GUI and organizing them into header.php and footer.php.
-v0.8.5.
-Uploading works. Files are stored according to the config.php file.
-Directory generation works.
-AutoClean (should) work.
-Fixed virus scanning.
-Tweaked GUI elements, div structure.
-Added $TOSURL and $PPURL to config.php, for dynamic Terms of Service/Privacy Policy references in GUI's.
-Need to work on convertGui2.php. It's probably gonna need JQuery and Ajax to convert and download files without refresh.
-Maybe eventually combine the GUI pages and hide elements that are done being used.
