0.22.0

A few years passed since Self-hosted LiveSync was born, and our codebase had been very complicated. This could be patient now, but it should be a tremendous hurt. Therefore at v0.22.0, for future maintainability, I refined task scheduling logic totally.

Of course, I think this would be our suffering in some cases. However, I would love to ask you for your cooperation and contribution.

Sorry for being absent so much long. And thank you for your patience!

Note: we got a very performance improvement. Note at 0.22.2: Now, to rescue mobile devices, Maximum file size is set to 50 by default. Please configure the limit as you need. If you do not want to limit the sizes, set zero manually, please.
