| 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``. | ||
|
|
||
| Visit `owncloud.com <https://owncloud.com/>`_ for more information on the | ||
| Enterprise Subscription. | ||
|
|
||
| See Your Group Memberships | ||
| -------------------------- | ||
|
|
||
| Now you, and your users, can see which groups you belong to on your Personal pages. | ||
|
|
||
| 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 and send email notification to newly created | ||
| system users. | ||
|
|
||
| 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 link 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. | ||
| ===================================== | ||
| What's New for Admins in ownCloud 8.1 | ||
| ===================================== | ||
|
|
||
| ownCloud Server and Enterprise Subscription 8.1 are shipping with a batch of | ||
| improvements and new features, including: | ||
|
|
||
| * Updated encryption with support for multiple encryption backends and | ||
| migration tools for 8.0 -> 8.1 | ||
| * Improved LDAP configuration wizard | ||
| * WebDAV performance enhancements | ||
| * SFTP external storage with SSH keys | ||
| * SMB external storage is now based on ``libsmbclient`` | ||
| * Improved performance and better storage space management of preview | ||
| generation | ||
| * UI improvements for configurating external storage | ||
| * The ownCloud Appstore shows now different trust levels, and allows enabling | ||
| experimental apps | ||
| * Deleted files & folders now keep the share info after restoring from trashbin | ||
| (local shares only and not external storage) | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| * Many more links from the administration UI to the relevant documention | ||
| * ``occ`` command updated to allow installing ownCloud completely from the | ||
| command line | ||
| * User avatars are displayed in share dialogs | ||
| * Font preview, 3D pictures media type (previewed as JPEG) and raw media type | ||
| support without previews | ||
| * A new simple example theme is included | ||
| * All shares now have at least read permissions, which prevents unpredictable | ||
| server behavior | ||
| * Support for shortened URLs | ||
| * Users may not remove share expiration dates when the admin settings require | ||
| them | ||
| * Auto complete in share dialog works again when sharing is limited to groups | ||
| * `Developer changelog | ||
| <https://doc.owncloud.org/server/8.1/developer_manual/app/changelog.html>`_ is | ||
| available in the Developer's Manual | ||
|
|
||
| * File IDs are now persistent when moving files across storages, deleted to | ||
| trashbin or restored as version | ||
| * Ship ca-bundle.crt to work around issues on systems that experience failed | ||
| connections to the Appstore | ||
| * Introduce new "OC-ETag" header fixing issues with server configs stripping off | ||
| ETags "No E-Tag received from server" |
