AirDC++ 3.40

[maksis]

This version introduces AirDC++ Web API v1 with support for installable extensions (preview). Extensions can currently be installed only via the Web UI but GUI support is planned for the next feature release.

A few example features that would be possible to implement with extensions:

- Better validations for shared/downloaded files/directories
- Be notified if users downloading from you don’t add the downloaded files in share
- Various operator features

See the release announcement of AirDC++ Web Client 2.0.0 for more information about the Web API and extension development.
