Beta XQ Media Storage - Backblaze B2 & CDN 1.0.14

• New CDN choices cover attachments/thumbnails, avatars and profile banners.
• Assets/Other are no longer new CDN choices. Existing supported CDN configurations are preserved and can be copied back locally without deleting originals.
• Added a read-only report of recognized saved CDN URLs; existing addresses are not rewritten.
• Works with or without XQ Image Privacy 1.0.3. When used together, you can let Image Privacy remove metadata while Media Storage handles storage and CDN delivery.
• Improved settings explanations, DM attachment notice placement and documentation.
• If using Image Privacy, upgrade it to 1.0.3 first or temporarily disable it; 1.0.2 is incompatible.
• Live upgrades, file-health checks, cleaning, CDN delivery and privacy integration tests passed on XenForo 2.3.13.
• Installation starts no migration. Live-provider transfers remain untested; back up before testing them.

• New installations can save connection settings and keys through Admin CP without manually creating private files.
• Existing protected-file setups remain supported, with an option to switch storage methods.
• Migration progress and locking files are created automatically for database setups.
• Excludes XenForo’s data/local files from migration copying.
• Clarifies storage choices, disk-space scans and removal instructions.

• Restored XenForo’s standard video and audio formats.
• Simplified setup with clearer status indicators, expandable connection settings and aligned controls.
• Removed special font-folder handling; fonts now follow “Other public-data folders.”
• Clarified metadata/C2PA options and storage removal instructions.
• Passed live upgrade, file health and metadata-stripping checks. Live-provider migration remains untested.

• Unsupported or malformed images now show the friendly upload rejection message without cluttering the Admin CP server error log.
• Unexpected processing failures remain logged for troubleshooting.
• Metadata/C2PA protection and temporary-file cleanup remain intact.
• Passed simulated rejection, processing-failure and image/HDR regression tests.
• The 1.0.9 HDR fix passed a live upload test. Live 1.0.10 verification and live-provider migration testing remain pending.

• Support validated Apple gain-map HDR JPEGs. Metadata stripping retains the ordinary image without recompression and removes the HDR enhancement.
• Preserve HDR when only C2PA removal is enabled, repairing internal image offsets as needed.
• Keep both controls independent; disabling both preserves the original file. Unsupported or malformed HDR/MPO layouts remain rejected.
• Update option help and documentation. HEIC conversion is not included.
• Pass automated metadata, attachment, template, routing and simulated migration checks.
• Confirm the previously rejected HDR sample now uploads successfully on live XenForo 2.3.13. Live-provider migration remains untested.
