## Major changes in 2.1
- Devices and folders can now be grouped in the GUI by setting the new `group` attribute.
- HTTP and HTTPS proxies with support for CONNECT can now be used, in addition to the existing support for SOCKS proxies (the environment variable `all_proxy=https://...`).
- Block indexing can be turned off for folders where it’s more desirable to optimise for reduced database size and overhead than minimal transfer size (the `blockIndexing` attribute on folder configuration).
- GUI login session duration can be configured to be longer or shorter than the default one week, or set to infinitely long. The cookie path can also be adjusted. (The `sessionCookieDurationS` and `sessionCookiePath` attributes in the GUI configuration.)
