This will change in 9.1, which will -use .svg files. See `Changing favicon -`_ in the Developer Manual. - -Home folder rule is enforced in the user_ldap application in new ownCloud installations; see -:doc:`configuration_user/user_auth_ldap`. This affects ownCloud 8.0.10, 8.1.5 and 8.2.0 and up. - -The Calendar and Contacts apps have been rewritten and the CalDAV and CardDAV backends of these -apps were merged into ownCloud core. During the upgrade existing Calendars and Addressbooks -are automatically migrated. As a fallback for failed upgrades or an option to test a migration -``dav:migrate-calendars`` and/or ``dav:migrate-addressbooks`` scripts are available via the -``occ`` command. See :doc:`configuration_server/occ_command`. - -Updates on systems with large datasets will take longer, due to the addition of checksums to the -oC database. See ``_. - -Linux packages are available from our `official download repository `_ . -New in 9.0: split packages. ``owncloud`` installs ownCloud plus dependencies, including Apache -and PHP. ``owncloud-files`` installs only ownCloud. This is useful for custom LAMP stacks, and -allows you to install your own LAMP apps and versions without packaging conflicts with ownCloud. -See :doc:`installation/linux_installation`. - -New option for the ownCloud admin to enable or disable sharing on individual external mountpoints -(see :ref:`external_storage_mount_options_label`). Sharing on such mountpoints is disabled by default. - -Enterprise 9.0 --------------- - -``owncloud-enterprise`` packages are no longer available for CentOS6, RHEL6, -Debian7, or any version of Fedora. A new package, -``owncloud-enterprise-files``, is available for all supported platforms. This -new package comes without dependencies, and is installable on a larger number of -platforms. System administrators on these older distros must install their own -LAMP stacks and databases. On newer supported distros, install -``owncloud-enterprise`` as usual. See -:doc:`enterprise_installation/linux_installation`. - -Changes in 8.2 --------------- - -New location for Linux package repositories; ownCloud admins must manually -change to the new repos. See :doc:`maintenance/upgrade` - -PHP 5.6.11+ breaks the LDAP wizard with a 'Could not connect to LDAP' error. See https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/20020. - -``filesystem_check_changes`` in ``config.php`` is set to 0 by default. This -prevents unnecessary update checks and improves performance. If you are using -external storage mounts such as NFS on a remote storage server, set this to 1 -so that ownCloud will detect remote file changes. - -XSendFile support has been removed, so there is no longer support for `serving -static files -`_ from your ownCloud server. - -LDAP issue: 8.2 uses the ``memberof`` attribute by default. If this is not -activated on your LDAP server your user groups will not be detected, and you -will see this message in your ownCloud log: ``Error PHP Array to string -conversion at /var/www/html/owncloud/lib/private/template/functions.php#36``. -Fix this by disabling the ``memberof`` attribute on your ownCloud server with -the ``occ`` command, like this example on Ubuntu Linux:: - - sudo -u www-data php occ ldap:set-config "s01" useMemberOfToDetectMembership 0 - -Run ``sudo -u www-data php occ ldap:show-config`` to find the correct ``sNN`` -value; if there is not one then use empty quotes, ``""``. (See -:doc:`configuration_server/occ_command`.) - -Users of the Linux Package need to update their repository setup as described -in this `blogpost `_. - -Changes in 8.1 --------------- - -Use APCu only if available in version 4.0.6 and higher. If you install an older version, -you will see a ``APCu below version 4.0.6 is installed, for stability and performance -reasons we recommend to update to a newer APCu version`` warning on your ownCloud admin page. - -SMB external storage now based on ``php5-libsmbclient``, which must be downloaded -from the ownCloud software repositories (`installation instructions -`_). - -"Download from link" feature has been removed. - -The ``.htaccess`` and ``index.html`` files in the ``data/`` directory are now -updated after every update. If you make any modifications to these files they -will be lost after updates. - -The SabreDAV browser at ``/remote.php/webdav`` has been removed. - -Using ownCloud without a ``trusted_domain`` configuration will not work anymore. - -The logging format for failed logins has changed and considers now the proxy -configuration in ``config.php``. - -A default set of security and privacy HTTP headers have been added to the -ownCloud ``.htaccess`` file, and ownCloud administrators may now customize which -headers are sent. - -More strict SSL certificate checking improves security but can result in -"cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate" -errors with certain broken PHP versions. Please verify your SSL setup, update your -PHP or contact your vendor if you receive these errors. - -The persistent file-based cache (e.g. used by LDAP integration) has been dropped and -replaced with a memory-only cache, which must be explicitly configured. See -:doc:`configuration_user/user_auth_ldap`. Memory cache configuration for the -ownCloud server is no longer automatic, requiring installation of -your desired cache backend and configuration in -``config.php`` (see :doc:`configuration_server/caching_configuration`.) - -The OC_User_HTTP backend has been removed. Administrators are encouraged to use -the ``user_webdavauth`` application instead. - -ownCloud ships now with its own root certificate bundle derived from Mozilla's -root certificates file. The system root certificate bundle will not be used -anymore for most requests. - -When you upgrade from ownCloud 8.0, with encryption enabled, to 8.1, you must -enable the new encryption backend and migrate your encryption keys. See -:ref:`upgrading_encryption_label`. - -Encryption can no longer be disabled in ownCloud 8.1. It is planned to re-add -this feature to the command line client for a future release. - -It is not recommended to upgrade encryption-enabled systems from ownCloud Server 8.0 -to version 8.1.0 as there is a chance the migration will break. We recommend -migrating to the first bugfix release, ownCloud Server 8.1.1. - -Due to various technical issues, by default desktop sync clients older than -1.7 are not allowed to connect and sync with the ownCloud server. This is -configurable via the ``minimum.supported.desktop.version`` switch in -``config.php``. - -Previews are now generated at a maximum size of 2048 x 2048 pixels. This is configurable -via the ``preview_max_x`` and ``preview_max_y`` switches in ``config.php``. - -The ownCloud 8 server is not supported on any version of Windows. - -The 8.1.0 release has a minor bug which makes app updates fail at first try. Reload the -apps page and try again, and the update will succeed. - -The ``forcessl`` option within the ``config.php`` and the ``Enforce SSL`` option -within the Admin-Backend was removed. This now needs to be configured like -described in :ref:`use_https_label`. - -WebDAV file locking was removed in oC 8.1 which causes Finder on Mac OS X to mount WebDAV read-only. - -Enterprise 8.1 Only -------------------- - -The SharePoint Drive app does not verify the SSL certificate of the SharePoint -server or the ownCloud server, as it is expected that both devices are in the -same trusted environment. - -ownCloud 8.0 ------------- - -Manual LDAP Port Configuration -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -When you are configuring the LDAP user and group backend application, ownCloud -may not auto-detect the LDAP server's port number, so you will need to enter it -manually. - -.. https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/16748 - -No Preview Icon on Text Files -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -There is no preview icon displayed for text files when the file contains fewer than six characters. - -.. https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/16556#event-316503097 - -Remote Federated Cloud Share Cannot be Reshared With Local Users -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -When you mount a Federated Cloud share from a remote ownCloud server, you cannot re-share it with -your local ownCloud users. (See :doc:`configuration_files/federated_cloud_sharing_configuration` -to learn more about federated cloud sharing) - -Manually Migrate Encryption Keys after Upgrade -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -If you are using the Encryption app and upgrading from older versions of -ownCloud to ownCloud 8.0, you must manually migrate your encryption keys. -See :ref:`upgrading_encryption_label`. - -Windows Server Not Supported -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -Windows Server is not supported in ownCloud 8. - -PHP 5.3 Support Dropped -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -PHP 5.3 is not supported in ownCloud 8, and PHP 5.4 or better is required. - -Disable Apache Multiviews -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -If Multiviews are enabled in your Apache configuration, this may cause problems -with content negotiation, so disable Multiviews by removing it from your Apache -configuration. Look for lines like this:: - - - Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews - -Delete ``Multiviews`` and restart Apache. - -.. https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/9039 - -ownCloud Does Not Follow Symlinks -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -ownCloud's file scanner does not follow symlinks, which could lead to -infinite loops. To avoid this do not use soft or hard links in your ownCloud -data directory. - -.. https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/8976 - -No Commas in Group Names -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -Creating an ownCloud group with a comma in the group name causes ownCloud to -treat the group as two groups. - -.. https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/10983 - -Hebrew File Names Too Large on Windows -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -On Windows servers Hebrew file names grow to five times their original size -after being translated to Unicode. - -.. https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/8938 - -Google Drive Large Files Fail with 500 Error -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -Google Drive tries to download the entire file into memory, then write it to a -temp file, and then stream it to the client, so very large file downloads from -Google Drive may fail with a 500 internal server error. - -.. https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/8810 - -Encrypting Large Numbers of Files -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -When you activate the Encryption app on a running server that has large numbers -of files, it is possible that you will experience timeouts. It is best to -activate encryption at installation, before accumulating large numbers of files -on your ownCloud server. - -.. https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/10657 - - -Enterprise 8.0 Only -------------------- - -Sharepoint Drive SSL Not Verified -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -The SharePoint Drive app does not verify the SSL certificate of the SharePoint -server or the ownCloud server, as it is expected that both devices are in the -same trusted environment. - -No Federated Cloud Sharing with Shibboleth -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -Federated Cloud Sharing (formerly Server-to-Server file sharing)does not work -with Shibboleth . - -.. https://github.com/owncloud/user_shibboleth/issues/28 - -Direct Uploads to SWIFT do not Appear in ownCloud -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -When files are uploaded directly to a SWIFT share mounted as external storage -in ownCloud, the files do not appear in ownCloud. However, files uploaded to -the SWIFT mount through ownCloud are listed correctly in both locations. - -.. https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/8633 - -SWIFT Objectstore Incompatible with Encryption App -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -The current SWIFT implementation is incompatible with any app that uses direct -file I/O and circumvents the ownCloud virtual filesystem. Using the Encryption -app on a SWIFT object store incurs twice as many HTTP requests and increases -latency significantly. - -.. https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/10900 - -App Store is Back -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -The ownCloud App Store has been re-enabled in oC 8. Note that third-party apps -are not supported. - -ownCloud 7 Release Notes ------------------------- - -Manual LDAP Port Configuration -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -When you are configuring the LDAP user and group backend application, ownCloud -may not auto-detect the LDAP server's port number, so you will need to enter it -manually. - -.. https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/16748 - -LDAP Search Performance Improved -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -Prior to 7.0.4, LDAP searches were substring-based and would match search -attributes if the substring occurred anywhere in the attribute value. Rather, -searches are performed on beginning attributes. With 7.0.4, searches will match -at the beginning of the attribute value only. This provides better performance -and a better user experience. - -Substring searches can still be performed by prepending the search term with -"*".For example, a search for ``te`` will find Terri, but not Nate:: - - occ ldap:search "te" - -If you want to broaden the search to include -Nate, then search for ``*te``:: - - occ ldap:search "*te" - -Refine searches by adjusting the ``User Search Attributes`` field of the -Advanced tab in your LDAP configuration on the Admin page. For example, if your -search attributes are ``givenName`` and ``sn`` you can find users by first name -+ last name very quickly. For example, you'll find Terri Hanson by searching for -``te ha``. Trailing whitespaces are ignored. - -.. https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/12647 - -Protecting ownCloud on IIS from Data Loss -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -Under certain circumstances, running your ownCloud server on IIS could be at -risk of data loss. To prevent this, follow these steps. - -In your ownCloud server configuration file, ``owncloud\config\config.php``, set -``config_is_read_only`` to true. - -Set the ``config.php`` file to read-only. - -When you make server updates ``config.php`` must be made writeable. When your -updates are completed re-set it to read-only. - -Antivirus App Modes -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -The Antivirus App offers three modes for running the ClamAV anti-virus scanner: -as a daemon on the ownCloud server, a daemon on a remote server, or an -executable mode that calls ``clamscan`` on the local server. We recommend using -one of the daemon modes, as they are the most reliable. - -"Enable Only for Specific Groups" Fails -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -Some ownCloud applications have the option to be enabled only for certain -groups. However, when you select specific groups they do not get access to the -app. - -Changes to File Previews -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -For security and performance reasons, file previews are available only for -image files, covers of MP3 files, and text files, and have been disabled for -all other filetypes. Files without previews are represented by generic icons -according to their file types. - -4GB Limit on SFTP Transfers -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -Because of limitations in ``phpseclib``, you cannot upload files larger than -4GB over SFTP. - -"Not Enough Space Available" on File Upload -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -Setting user quotas to ``unlimited`` on an ownCloud installation that has -unreliable free disk space reporting-- for example, on a shared hosting -provider-- may cause file uploads to fail with a "Not Enough Space Available" -error. A workaround is to set file quotas for all users instead of -``unlimited``. - -No More Expiration Date On Local Shares -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -In older versions of ownCloud, you could set an expiration date on both local -and public shares. Now you can set an expiration date only on public shares, -and -local shares do not expire when public shares expire. - -Zero Quota Not Read-Only -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -Setting a user's storage quota should be the equivalent of read-only, however, -users can -still create empty files. - -Enterprise 7 Only ------------------ - -No Federated Cloud Sharing with Shibboleth -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -Federated Cloud Sharing (formerly Server-to-Server file sharing) does not work -with Shibboleth . - -Windows Network Drive -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -Windows Network Drive runs only on Linux servers because it requires the Samba -client, which is included in all Linux distributions. - -``php5-libsmbclient`` is also required, and there may be issues with older -versions of ``libsmbclient``; see Using External Storage > Installing and -Configuring the Windows Network Drive App in the Enterprise Admin manual for -more information. - -By default CentOS has activated SELinux, and the ``httpd`` process can not make -outgoing network connections. This will cause problems with curl, ldap and samba -libraries. Again, see Using External Storage > Installing and Configuring the -Windows Network Drive App in the Enterprise Admin manual for instructions. - -Sharepoint Drive SSL -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -The SharePoint Drive app does not verify the SSL certificate of the SharePoint -server or the ownCloud server, as it is expected that both devices are in the -same trusted environment. - -Shibboleth and WebDAV Incompatible -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -Shibboleth and standard WebDAV are incompatible, and cannot be used together in -ownCloud. If Shibboleth is enabled, the ownCloud client uses an extended WebDAV -protocol - -No SQLite -^^^^^^^^^ - -SQLite is no longer an installation option for ownCloud Enterprise Edition, as -it not suitable for multiple-user installations or managing large numbers of -files. - -No App Store -^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -The App Store is disabled for the Enterprise Edition. - -LDAP Home Connector Linux Only -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -The LDAP Home Connector application requires Linux (with MySQL, MariaDB, -or PostgreSQL) to operate correctly. +-
