Mac Adom Bridge is behind Windows: send_files is base64-only and dest is ignored

Adom Bridge on Mac is well behind the Windows version, and it shows when moving files from a container to the Mac.

What happened today (Mac Adom Bridge, Hydrogen container on the same Mac):

  • send_files only sends files as base64 through the relay. Anything over about 190 MB is refused ("payload exceeds the relay transfer cap of 256 MB").
  • A 180 MB file was under the cap, but the send hung for 4 minutes, then got killed and took the relay down with it. I had to restart the relay and send the file in 40 MB pieces.
  • dest is ignored. Files sent with dest set to a folder in my home directory landed in Downloads instead. Windows has supported dest since 1.8.148.

Versions: the Mac page's latest release is 1.9.209 (Sep 16). Windows is at 2.1.174 (Oct 10).

Ask: please have the Mac Adom Bridge audit everything John added to the Windows version between 1.9.209 and 2.1.174 and bring the Mac up to date. File transfer comes first: large files from a container to the Mac should stream without the base64 size cap, the way pull_file streams in the other direction.
