Gphotos Sync Versions Save

First working version of automatic versioning. All previous releases since 2.11 were attempts to get this working. Apologies!

Testing fix to versioning - checking it works on pypi

Filesystem Checks Overhall.

Intended to provide correct handling for target filesystems:-

• NTFS/Fat filename restrictions (including trailing dot)
• handling of NTFS mounted via 9p filesystem on WLS2
• case insensitive handling, including NAS with multiple protocols
• Unicode character stripping on unsupported filesystems
• minimum file timestamp management
• max path and filename length
• check for symlink handling (no symlinks currently means no album sync - may add windows LNK style links)

Features:-

• Make sort order of albums the same as Google Photos. Thanks @plevold
• Add --use-flat-path. Thanks @plevold
• Add option for using album names directly as folder names. Thanks @plevold
• add the --archive feature #155

Bug fixes:-

• fix an issue with album items sometimes missing #172. Thanks @jonathancrawford
• fix and speed up CI tests on OSX #94
• README docker instructions. Thanks @rothgar #161
• additional test coverage #158 (ongoing)
• remove redundant code: 'bad ids', 'location scraping',
• issue with favourites still downloading album contents #154
• DB upgrade issue #148

• cope with exception reporting changes in EXIF library #144
• improved error reporting for Google API errors #136. Thanks, @mlindsay

• make docker pushes tag with version #115

Bug fixes

• get Pypi deployment working #115
• add a test for intermittent network #107
• workaround to google bug with empty media items list in responses #112

Add docker container with Travis deployment. Thanks @jenyayel .

Fix PyPi deployment :-) limited it to the python 3.7 builds only because Windows and Mac cannot do Pypi.

However, this does mean you get a deployment before Windows and Mac builds are checked. Maybe there is a workaround to this?
