+## 🧪 new features
+
+* option to store markdown backups out-of-volume fc883418
+  * the default is still a subfolder named `.hist` next to the markdown file
+  * `--md-hist v` puts them in the volume's hist-folder instead
+  * `--md-hist n` disables markdown-backups entirely
+* #149 option to store the volume sqlite databases at a custom locations outside the hist-folder e1b9ac63
+  * new option `--dbpath` works like `--hist` but it only moves the database file, not the thumbnails
+  * they can be combined, in which case `--hist` is applied to thumbnails, `--dbpath` to the db
+  * useful when you're squeezing every last drop of performance out of your filesystem (see the issue)
+* actively prevent sharing certain databases (sessions/shares) between multiple copyparty instances acfaacbd
+  * an errormessage was added to explain some different alternatives for doing this safely
+    * for example by setting `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` which now works on all platforms b17ccc38
+
