The file downloader was changed from a simple redirect to the file to one
implemented in PHP, which should make it safer, by making it possible disallow
direct access to the file, to prevent executing of atttachments
The filename has a new format:
bin2hex("{$original_name}")."-{$filehash}"
This format should be respected. Notice the dash, which is important to distinguish it from the previous
format, which was "{$hash}.{$ext}"
This change was made to both make the experience more user friendly, by
providing a readable name for files, as opposed to it's hash. This name is taken
from the upload filename, but, clearly, as this wasn't done before, it's
impossible to have a proper name for older files, so those are displayed as
"untitled.{$ext}".
This new name is displayed in the UI, instead of the previous name.
Default supported files need to use consistent names. Bumped version to 1.20.0
ImageFile has been changed to extend MediaFile and rely on it to partially
validate files. This validation has been extended to not rely solely on
Fileinfo, as it is disabled on some places. Now it'll try to use the shell
command `file`, if Fileinfo isn't available.
ImageFile now converts every new upload to PNG, except JPEG and GIF, which
are kept, but still resized (to the same size), to remove possible scripts
embedded therein.
MediaFile::fromUpload will return an ImageFile if the uploaded file is an image
or a MediaFile otherwise.
MediaFile can be constructed with an id with value -1 to denote a temporary
object, which is not added to the DB. This is useful to create a temporary
object for representing images, so it can be used to rescale them.
The supported attachment array needs to be populated with the result of calling
`image_type_to_extension` for the appropriate image type, in the case of images.
This is important so all parts of the code see the same extension for each image
type (jpg vs jpeg).

Why would have labeling the Synchronize button of Sync been of bad taste? - answered by XRevan86:
In "synchronise" "ch" is a digraph meaning /k/ (actually /x/ turned into /k/ in English but whatever).
So… not separate letters.
It's like "ph" in "alphabet", or "sh" in "sheep", or "ch" in "chop" -- "ch" can mean a whole variety of sounds.
We still have to further review and improve the caching of streams.

Original XMPPHP is no longer maintained
Therefore I've done some optimizations and imported some commits from birkner and zorn-v forks.
None of the forks really looked ready to be adopted...
