Details

Bugfix - Fix location loading on Mac: #6761
https://github.com/owncloud/enterprise/issues/6761
Bugfix - Schedule syncs after an abort: #11396
We fixed a bug where the client stopped scheduling syncs after a sync was
aborted.
#11396
Bugfix - Fix description of manage public links action: #11450
#11450
Bugfix - Fix early-use crash in the folder watcher on Linux: #11460
In a few error scenarios, the folder watcher on Linux shows a dialog with an
error message. A crash has been fixed where this occurred before the GUI was
fully initialised.
#11460
#11475
Bugfix - Properly encode scope and prompt items in OAuth URL: #11472
Fixed a bug where the scope and prompt items of an OAuth query would not be
encoded, resulting in an invalid request.
#11472
#11479
Bugfix - Client stuck in reconnecting state after application start: #11478
We fixed a bug where the client was starting OAuth authentication but did not
prompt the user properly to renew authentication. This resulted in the client
apparently getting stuck in the "reconnecting" state.
#11478
Bugfix - Strip user information from new-connection URL: #11497
Credentials in the URL are not supported for some time. This fix strips them
from the URL before storage and using it to authenticate the client to the
server.
#11497
#11509
Bugfix - Support logging redirect: #11581
We now log when all urls when a request was redirected.
#11581
Bugfix - Don't store null certificates in the account: #11621
#11621
Bugfix - Fix crash for folders that could not be initialized: #11664
We fixed a bug where interacting with a folder in the file browser could lead to
a crash if the folder was not properly initialized.
#11664
Bugfix - Make open account in browser accessible for keyboard navigation: #11772
On the account settings page, the status label contained the URL of the server.
This URL was not accessible with keyboard navigation or when a screen-reader was
used. Now there is an "Open in Web Browser" action in the pop-up menu of the
"Manage Account" button (which is next to the status label), and the URL has
been removed from the status label.
#11772
#11800
#11810
Bugfix - Don't log misleading error if dynamic registration failed: #11839
#11839
Change - Revert local folder name back to pre 3.0 behavior: #6390
Due to user requests, we reverted the folder name from
```
ownCloud - Albert@owncloud.com
ownCloud - Katherine@owncloud.org
ownCloud - Marie@owncloud.com
```
Back to
```
ownCloud
ownCloud (1)
ownCloud (2)
```
https://github.com/owncloud/enterprise/issues/6390
Change - Make messages translatable that occur early in start-up: #11142
These messages include the command-line messages (both errors and the help
text). To do this, the deprecated --confdir option has been removed. This
option was only used on windows before roaming profiles were supported.
#11142
#11246
#11300
Change - Remove unused command line option --language: #11245
This option was used before the UI language could be chosen in the settings. The
option --list-languages is also removed, as it no longer serves a purpose.
#11245
#11270
Change - Windows: always use fusion style: #11275
We already used the fusion style on Windows for years if the system used dpi
scaling. Since Qt6.5 the fusion style also support the dark theme on Windows.
Those two reasons convinced us that always using the fusion style on Windows
will result in the best experience for the users.
#11275
Change - Deprecate suffix VFS: #11325
We decided to deprecate the suffix VFS implementations and thus prepare its
removal in 7.0.
#11325
Change - Removal of selective sync tree from account status page: #11357
We removed the selective sync support from the main widget and moved it to its
own dialog, available through the context menu of the sync folder.
Having both the sync status and the selective sync settings in the same widget
caused a lot of problems and overhead over the years. Additionally, it required
us to maintain a lot of special and basically duplicated code, as we already had
a dedicated widget to handle selective sync.
#11357
#11357
#8102
#5423
#4080
#11524
Change - Fix three badly styled warning messages: #11412
There were 3 labels for warning messages that were nearly unreadable in dark
mode due to bad styling. These have been changed to only use a bold font, but
are now displayed with a big warning icon on their left. The places are: the
account settings page, the folder wizard remote path page, and the log browser.
#11412
#11470
Change - Removed support for limiting sync of big new folder & external storage: #11517
We removed an option which allowed to block new folders bigger than a set limit,
from being synchronized automatically, when selective synchronization is used.
Additionally, we removed the option that allowed to block automatic
synchronization of external storage.
#11517
Change - Set the 'No' button as default action in the Unknown Certificate dialog: #11531
When an unknown certificate is used by the server, the safe action is to reject
this certificate. So the default action for this dialog should be not to accept
this unknown certificate.
#11531
Change - Remove Remove all files dialog: #11569
We no longer ask the user whether all files should be removed but just sync.
#11569
#7304
Change - Rewrite of the spaces browser: #11595
#11595
Change - New update channel for ownCloud infinite scale: #11742
The release series 6 is a long term release. As version 7 will drop the support
for ownCloud 10, users will either have to select the ownCloud infinite scale
update channel in the about dialog or manually install a newer release. This
change only affects the unbranded version.
#11742
Change - Remove support for branded shell extensions on Linux: #11743
From now on user will have to install dolphin-owncloud nautilus-owncloud instead
of a braned version.
#11743
Change - Only allow to add unsyced spaces: #11752
We now prevent users from syncing the same space multiple times.
#11752
#11759
Change - Rewrite of the login widget in QML: #11856
#11856
Enhancement - Add option to pause synchronization on metered connections: #4808
On platforms that support metered-connection detection, an option is now
available to pause folder synchronization when the network connection switches
to metered. When synchronization is paused, force-syncing can still be done.
#4808
#11305
Enhancement - Add option to move files to trash instead of deleting: #9001
An option has been added that when files on the server are deleted, the client
will move them to the system trash bin instead of deleting those files.
#9001
#11320
Enhancement - Prevent same default sync folder for multiple accounts with Spaces: #11204
This is done by tagging the sync folder by an extended attribute (Linux/macoS)
or an alternative data stream (Windows).
#11204
#11364
Enhancement - Use less modal dialogs: #11304
As the rather high number of modal dialogs we used caused different issues on
different platforms, we decided to use them less often and try other concepts.
#11304
#11032
#11208
Enhancement - Include recent changes in scheduled syncs: #11347
When starting a new sync we now also include the recent change events in the
discovery.
#11347
Enhancement - Improve handling of a server blocking an unsupported client: #11424
We improved the handling of HTTP 403 status codes.
#11424
Enhancement - Ask user to restart application when update is available on Windows: #11442
Instead of a tray message, we now display a modal dialog on Windows to inform
the user about a downloaded update. Also, we now can prompt the user to restart
the application and apply the update immediately, adding a bit of user comfort.
#11442
Enhancement - New Folder status: #11491
We rewrote the Folder status page.
#11527
#11491
Enhancement - Pause sync when behind a captive portal: #11533
When the operating system detects a captive portal, stop all outgoing network
requests. These requests will fail with an SSL certificate mismatch error. When
the captive portal is "gone", synchronisation will be restarted.
#11533
#11567
Enhancement - Support for prompt_values_supported in openid-configuration: #11729
We implemnted support for idp's to specify the supported prompt values.
#11729
Enhancement - New branding option: automatically sync new spaces: #11751
A branding option was added to add new sync connections for newly discovered
spaces.
#11751
#11774
Enhancement - Display how many spaces are unsynced: #11760
#11760
