+Bugfix: Disable default expiration for public links
+
+The default expiration for public links was enabled in the capabilities without providing a (then required) default amount of days for clients to pick a reasonable expiration date upon link creation. This has been fixed by disabling the default expiration for public links in the capabilities. With this configuration clients will no longer set a default expiration date upon link creation.
