About Seafile
Seafile's server repo ships small hardening fixes across three branches at once.
The seafile-server repo tags fixes on the 14.0 and 13.0 lines and on SeaTable builds. The same commit is often tagged on several versions at once. Recent work is defensive: validating file-system object sizes, testing garbage collection under concurrent uploads, and checking errors on file copy. The one configuration change is support for a SEAFILE_DATA_DIR environment variable.
