Release notes

Added an optional security check for FTPS connections. You can now turn on hostname verification to ensure your server's certificate matches the server you're connecting to, helping prevent unauthorized interception. This is turned off by default, so your existing setup won't be affected. To turn it on, set enableHostnameVerification to true in your FT_Config.
