• Bugfix - Don't abort local folder deletions on unrelated errors: #9311

  We fixed a bug where folder deletions where not performed if any sync error occured anyhwere in
  the sync tree.

  #9311

• Bugfix - Fix update channel dropdown: #10251

  When switching to the beta update channel in testpilotcloud, a warning will pop up. When
  canceled, the selection should reset. This did not work reliably in localized clients due to
  the use of string comparisons. Using a numeric index to keep track of the old value fixes the
  problem.

  #10251
  #10609
  #10627

• Bugfix - Select keep files as default action in all files removed dialog: #10254

  #10254

• Bugfix - Undefined client state after fetching credentials failed: #10408

  We fixed a bug where the client got stuck in a "No connection configured" state if an error
  occurred during the retrieval of the credentials from the system's keychain. The client then
  required a manual log out and log in.

  #10408
  #10505

• Bugfix - Escape navigation elements from user name: #10427

  We use the user name as folder name, if a user name contains path navigation elements we now
  escape them.

  #10427

• Bugfix - Under certain conditions the folder watcher could drop events: #10458

  #10458

• Bugfix - Properly handle OAuth invalidation: #10494

  #10494
  #10495

  #10569

• Bugfix - Set the expected download content length in the job properly: #10607

  #10607

• Bugfix - UI freeze when multiple modal dialogs displayed on macOS: #10621

  Due to incorrect handling of the dialogs, the UI could freeze.

  #10621

• Bugfix - Ensure the account state is properly persisted: #10648

  We didn't properly persist the login/logout state.

  #10648

• Bugfix - Reconnect got stuck if the server supports app providers: #10666

  #10666

• Change - Implement server guided migration to spaces: #9945

  We added a feature that allows limited automatic migration of existing syncs to OCIS spaces.

  #9945
  owncloud/ocis#3574

• Enhancement - Display This space is either disabled or deleted for gone spaces: #9700

  We now provide a less technical error when a space was disabled or deleted.

  #9700

• Enhancement - Sync virtual files that are locked by office etc: #9829

  We now upload locked files again when Windows virtual files are used. This was disabled in 2.9.0
  as it caused the file metadata and the locked files to get out of sync. The new solution
  implements explicit handling of outdated placeholders.

  #9829

• Enhancement - Replace term (un)pause with a more suitable one: #10231

  We used the terms pause and unpause synchronization where the synchronization was actually
  terminated and restarted.

  Now, we use the terms stop and start synchronization, which better communicate the actual
  behavior.

  #10231
  #10529

• Enhancement - Check for long paths when these are not enabled on Windows: #10264

  #10264
  #10677
  #10352
  #10679

• Enhancement - Implement a possibility to Desktop.ini icon updates on Windows: #10361

  We implemented an option wich allows to disable the automatic update of the folder icon for sync
  folders on Windows.

  #10361

• Enhancement - Disable DPI scaling factor rounding on Windows: #10406

  Qt5 By default rounds up the selected scale for values > .5 We now use the actual scale factor.

  #10406

• Enhancement - Display quota for Spaces: #10453

  Quota is now displayed for all folders.

  #10453

• Enhancement - New WebFinger workflow: #10517

  OwnCloud Infinite Scale servers may provide a new WebFinger service which clients can use to
  discover an actual instance they should connect to.

  This is useful when a large organization operates multiple instances to distribute the load on
  multiple servers, or single departments operate their own servers but they all use a common
  entrypoint URL and authentication system.

• Enhancement - Branding: Allow the addition of buttons to open a url: #10518

  We added a branding option that allows to add buttons to the toolbar. Those buttons will then
  open a hardcoded web page.

  #10518

• Enhancement - Build the client without the auto updater by default: #10537

  #10537

• Enhancement - Improve presentation of connection state: #10557

  Don't display No connection configured when disconnected but Disconnected from:.
  Introduce new state, Connecting to.

  #10557

• Enhancement - Display open in web in file browser context menu, on sync roots: #10572

  #10572

• Enhancement - Display space subtitle if available: #10577

  If a subtitle is set on a spaced we now display it instead of the local path.

  #10577

• Enhancement - Open sharing options in Web: #10590

  When selecting "Share..." in the file browser context menu, we now not only display that file in
  the web view but also directly show the sharing options.

  #10590

• Enhancement - Display the space name provided by the server: #10602

  If a space is renamed on the server, this change is now displayed in the client.

  #10602

• Enhancement - Always point to the latest documentation: #10634

  We used a url for the documentation that contained the client version. While this ensured a used
  would get the documentation matching to their client, this only worked with the last two
  released clients. So users of a pre release or of a very old client where served a 404.

  #10634

• Enhancement - More user friendly error handling in the cmd client: #10637

  #10637

• Enhancement - Don't invalidate oauth refresh token on ConnectionRefusedError: #10654
