What's New for Admins in ownCloud 8
|
||||
===================================
|
||||
|
||||
New Packaging
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
We are introducing a new packaging system. Instead of two editions, Community
|
||||
and Enterprise, we now offer Server to replace the old Community edition, and
|
||||
Enterprise Subscription replaces the old Enterprise Edition.
|
||||
|
||||
Server includes core file share and synchronization features plus community
|
||||
apps, and is community-supported and free of cost. See `owncloud.org
|
||||
<https://owncloud.org/>`_ for current information and links to downloads.
|
||||
|
||||
ownCloud now offers two levels of paid support:
|
||||
|
||||
* ownCloud Standard
|
||||
* ownCloud Enterprise
|
||||
|
||||
The ownCloud Standard Subscription is for customers who want paid support for
|
||||
the core Server, and do not need Enterprise apps. This includes:
|
||||
|
||||
* ownCloud Server
|
||||
* ownCloud desktop and mobile apps (without the custom branding build service)
|
||||
* ownCloud open-source apps licensed as AGPL (Share Files,
|
||||
Federated Cloud, Versions, Deleted files, LDAP/AD, Antivirus, Encryption,
|
||||
External Storage. etc.), 8x5 support hours
|
||||
|
||||
Note: This does not include support for Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Chat,
|
||||
Documents, or any other community-only apps, and it does not include support
|
||||
for Enterprise-only apps or services.
|
||||
|
||||
The ownCloud Enterprise Subscription replaces the Enterprise Edition. This
|
||||
includes the core Server plus Enterprise apps. The Enterprise Subscription
|
||||
includes:
|
||||
|
||||
* ownCloud Standard Subscription
|
||||
* ownCloud Enterprise apps (Logging modules, SAML, File Firewall, Sharepoint,
|
||||
Windows Network Drive, Home Directory Mounts, etc)
|
||||
* ownBrander for mobile app branding
|
||||
* ownCloud Commercial License for closed-source customizations
|
||||
* Up to 24x7 support
|
||||
* Deployment assistance for the rollout
|
||||
|
||||
New customers, or customers upgrading from the old Enterprise Edition will
|
||||
install ownCloud 8 from the existing ``owncloud-enterprise`` repository. The
|
||||
``owncloud-server`` dependency will be pulled in automatically. Customers using
|
||||
the community edition will upgrade via package manager by adding the
|
||||
``owncloud-enterprise repository``, and installing ownCloud Enterprise Edition
|
||||
apps on top of their ``owncloud-server``.
|
||||
|
||||
No More PHP 5.3
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
PHP 5.3 is not supported in ownCloud 8, and PHP 5.4 is required.
|
||||
|
||||
Improved Admin and Settings UI
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The ownCloud Admin and Settings pages have been streamlined and re-organized,
|
||||
and include a new sidebar for accessing configuration options more quickly.
|
||||
|
||||
Simplified App Management
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Installing, upgrading, and removing apps is easier, and includes a new
|
||||
dependency feature to automatically resolve installation dependendencies.
|
||||
|
||||
New Updater Layout
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The Updater app (Server only) is more intelligent, and detects errors before
|
||||
they happen and rolls the update back. Status and error messages are more
|
||||
informative.
|
||||
|
||||
More Powerful User Management
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the existing filter and text string searchable user management,
|
||||
an entirely new set of features has been added to ownCloud. Admins can now edit
|
||||
email addresses for system users, sort users, select multiple users at once, and
|
||||
rename groups.
|
||||
|
||||
LDAP Improvements, Including LDAP User Cleanup
|
||||
----------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
ownCloud has significantly improved LDAP and AD performance, provided additional
|
||||
configuration options and expert modes, and added a new utility for verifying
|
||||
and removing users from ownCloud that are no longer active in LDAP or AD.
|
||||
|
||||
Improved and Open-Sourced Provisioning API
|
||||
------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Remote management of ownCloud users is enabled with the Provisioning API.
|
||||
Previously limited to the Enterprise edition, it is now open source and
|
||||
available to the community.
|
||||
|
||||
Favorites
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
Users can now assign a favorite icon to files and folders. Look for
|
||||
improvements in this feature in future ownCloud editions to make finding and
|
||||
managing files even easier.
|
||||
|
||||
Improved Server-to-Server Sharing
|
||||
---------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Server-to-Server Sharing, introduced in ownCloud 7, allows you to mount file
|
||||
shares from remote ownCloud servers, and create a "cloud of ownClouds". In
|
||||
ownCloud 8 the process for creating a new Server-to-Server is easier and more
|
||||
streamlined.
|
||||
|
||||
Improved Search
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
The search interface has been streamlined and simplified, with more features
|
||||
including enhanced result set reporting and additional search parameters.
|
||||
|
||||
Web Interface Enhancements
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The ownCloud Web interface has been improved to make it easier for all users to
|
||||
access, edit, sync and share their files.
|
||||
|
||||
Download Broker Improves Performance
|
||||
------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
When ownCloud delivers universal file access to end users, files from many
|
||||
different document sources are aggregated into a single interface and served to
|
||||
end users. In some cases, passing all of the files aggregated in this interface
|
||||
through a single server, ownCloud, slows down data access. ownCloud now
|
||||
supports direct downloads of files from select storage back-ends, reducing the
|
||||
load on the ownCloud server without sacrificing control over the files that are
|
||||
stored in the various back end systems.
