- new directory structure containing manifest.json and one json file per provider, by default.
- the manifest.json file can specify a filepath for each vpn provider
- each vpn provider json data file can contain the `"preferred": true` field to enforce it is used even if outdated, unless there is a version mismatch
- `STORAGE_SERVERS_DIRECTORY_PATH` replaces `STORAGE_FILEPATH` (which is now a migration source only). It sets the directory where server manifest and per-provider JSON files are stored (default: `/gluetun/servers/`).
- First-run migration: On startup, gluetun checks for the old /gluetun/servers.json file; if found and no new manifest exists, it automatically migrates all data to /gluetun/servers/ directory structure
- Silent fallback: If legacy file isn't found, uses the new directory path normally
- Legacy cleanup: After successful migration, attempts to remove the old fat JSON file (logs warning only if removal fails, e.g., read-only bind mounts)
- main reason being it's a burden to always define sentinel errors at global scope, wrap them with `%w` instead of using a string directly
- only use sentinel errors when it has to be checked using `errors.Is`
- replace all usage of these sentinel errors in `fmt.Errorf` with direct strings that were in the sentinel error
- exclude the sentinel error definition requirement from .golangci.yml
- update unit tests to use ContainersError instead of ErrorIs so it stays as a "not a change detector test" without requiring a sentinel error
- Better settings tree structure logged using `qdm12/gotree`
- Read settings from environment variables, then files, then secret files
- Settings methods to default them, merge them and override them
- `DNS_PLAINTEXT_ADDRESS` default changed to `127.0.0.1` to use DoT. Warning added if set to something else.
- `HTTPPROXY_LISTENING_ADDRESS` instead of `HTTPPROXY_PORT` (with retro-compatibility)
- Add VPN field to ServerSelection struct
- Set VPN type to server selection at start using VPN_TYPE
- Change OpenVPNConnection to Connection with Type field
- Rename Provider GetOpenVPNConnection to GetConnection
- Rename GetTargetIPOpenVPNConnection to GetTargetIPConnection
- Rename PickRandomOpenVPNConnection to PickRandomConnection
- Add 'OpenVPN' prefix to OpenVPN specific methods on connection
