Components website changes, 2018-11-27

Changes:
  • The accepted component file size limit has been raised from 4MB to 16MB.
  • You can now make a component unlisted - accessible by direct link but not visible when browsing components.
Microsoft Windows: We can't script here, this is bat country.

Nice. Hopefully this then allows components like foo_youtube to be uploaded.

Here's a joke for you: There was a brief period where I had increased the limit from 4MB to 5MB, because foo_input_vgmstream grew. Guess what? It only grew because I forgot that my FFmpeg binaries needed to be stripped, and thus it shrank back down to under 4MB again.

@Peter: thanks!

A small suggestion: is it possible to add a download count for vanity's sake? =) (and to evaluate whether the component is needed at all...)
It would be fine even it's only visible from internal `components page` (i.e. the one with login).
