2.0.4.21-2.0.4.21_experimental_2019-06-28

This is a cumulative release for more than 6 months of hard work.
Most of these are speedup improvements, error handling and general quality fixes.

This release will give a warning for all users of the Amazon Cloud Drive backen, as it is being discontinued by Amazon:

Amazon Cloud Drive discontinued

Amazon is discontinuing access to their Cloud Drive API, meaning that Duplicati will not be able to read or write files from Cloud Drive after August 16th 2019. If you are using Amazon Cloud Drive, you should start moving your files away from Cloud Drive while there are still tools that can access the files. After August 16th you will need to use the Amazon Drive tool to retrieve your files. Duplicati itself will be updated soon to warn users that rely on Amazon Cloud Drive. The full message …

A big thanks to the community members who work hard with fixing issues and responding on the forum:

Nice work on this version. I’ve upgraded 6 of my systems from 2.0.4.5 and everything is working great!

Problems after upgrade to 2.0.4.21 appears to be a major issue for “FTP (Alternative)” users on Linux or similar UNIX-like FTP servers (maybe including those embedded in a device such as a NAS or a router). Fortunately the alternative to “FTP (Alternative)” is plain “FTP” but possibly some can’t switch to that. Usage statistics shows about as much “FTP (Alternative)” as “Amazon Cloud Drive”. “FTP” is far higher.
