Details

  • Bugfix - Fix VFS enable/disable checkbox in the folder wizard: #12144

    After unchecking the VFS checkbox on the last page of the folder wizard, it
    could not be re-checked. The selective-sync chooser is now correctly disabled
    when VFS is forced on, and the selective-sync page is skipped entirely in that
    case to avoid confusion.

    #12144
    #12305

  • Bugfix - Fix file sync with NFD/NFC filename normalization differences on macOS: #12336

    After a migration from 6.x to 7.x, files whose names were stored in NFD form
    locally but NFC form on the server were incorrectly treated as a delete and
    re-upload instead of a rename. Local normalization-only renames are now detected
    and not propagated to the server, since these differences are not visible to
    users.

    #12336
    #12356

  • Bugfix - Fix compatibility with extra-cmake-modules-6.19.0: #12374

    Fix runtime crash at startup with ECM 6.19.

    #12374

  • Bugfix - Fix crash on PROPFIND HTTP 400 response: #12380

    The client no longer crashes when a server responds with HTTP status 400 to a
    PROPFIND request.

    #12380

  • Bugfix - Make Windows VFS (CfAPI) locking more granular: #12386

    CfAPI locks are now acquired and released more precisely, reducing contention.
    Sibling items are now consistently grouped in the Explorer sidebar.

    #12386

  • Bugfix - Fix re-authentication prompt: #12487

    When an access token expired but the refresh token was still valid, the client
    incorrectly prompted the user to re-authenticate instead of transparently
    refreshing the token.

    #12487

  • Change - Update sync exclusion list for Infinite Scale: #12093

    Two file extensions commonly produced by ownCloud Infinite Scale were added to
    the default sync exclusion list.

    #12093

  • Change - Remove the command line sync client: #12162

    The owncloudcmd command line client has been removed. The --cmd command line
    option was also removed from the desktop client binary.

    #12162
    #12460

  • Change - Remove support for ownCloud Server (OC10): #12167

    Support for ownCloud 10 servers has been removed. The client now requires
    ownCloud Infinite Scale. This includes removal of OC10 authentication flows,
    sharing code, thumbnail API, update channels, chunked uploads, and the legacy
    WebFinger fallback.

  • Change - Remove the suffix VFS plugin: #12174

    The suffix-based virtual file system plugin, which was deprecated in 6.0, has
    been removed.

    #12174

  • Change - MacOS 13 is now the minimum supported macOS version: #12245

    #12245

  • Change - Qt 6.8 is now the minimum required Qt version: #12270

    The minimum required Qt version was raised to 6.8. This also raises the minimum
    macOS deployment target to 12.

    #12270
    #12271

  • Change - Remove the activity tab from account settings: #12307

    The activity tab was no longer functional after the removal of ownCloud 10
    support and has been removed.

    #12307

  • Change - Remove bandwidth throttling controls: #12335

    The bandwidth throttling settings UI and the underlying BandWidthManager have
    been removed.

    #12335

  • Change - Remove capability to upload conflict files: #12369

    None of the supported servers implements (or plans on implementing) this
    feature. This removal includes the OWNCLOUD_UPLOAD_CONFLICT_FILES environment
    variable.

    #12369

  • Change - Improve Windows VFS error messages: #12371

    Error codes are now included in Windows virtual file system error messages in
    more cases, making issues easier to diagnose.

    #12371

  • Change - Distinguish between moves and renames in the activity view: #12494

    When a move operation has the same source and destination folder, it is now
    displayed as a rename in the activity view instead of a move.

    #12494

  • Enhancement - New account setup wizard: #12189

    The account setup wizard was completely redesigned. The new wizard uses a modern
    step-by-step flow with WebFinger-based server discovery, improved error
    handling, and a configurable branded appearance including themed logos and
    colors.

    #12235
    #12237
    #12277

  • Enhancement - System-based configuration (group policy support): #12367

    Administrators can now configure the client through system-level mechanisms:
    group policy on Windows, and system configuration files on macOS and Linux. This
    allows pre-configuring server URLs, authentication settings, and other options
    for managed deployments.

    #12367

  • Enhancement - Redesigned account and folder management view: #12399

    The account and folder management panel was rewritten with a new model/delegate
    architecture. It features improved error display, better tree navigation,
    context menus for folder actions, and visual polish throughout.
