The ownCloud community released ownCloud 6 a couple of days ago. That was another big release and we want to celebrate! Please, everybody who is interested in ownCloud, like to learn more, give feedback or just want to meet other people from the community, you are invited to show up at Coworking Space in Nuremberg, Josephsplatz 8, on december 18th, 6pm. We will have a relaxed evening with a little discussion, maybe short demos, cakes and stuff, and fun....
This morning during a cup of coffee I wanted to do something adventurous. I put the raspberry which I bought recently (without having very much played with it because of my light apt-* allergy) on the table and thought I will try to install the openSUSE distribution. I remembered awesome Bernhard was blogging about that topic recently. On that page one can find this link where raspberrypi images can be found....
Only short time after Kraft’s release 0.51 I am announcing version 0.53 today. Kraft is the KDE software that helps you to handle your daily quotes and invoices in your small business. The new release fixes a problem with the tarball of 0.51 which contained a wrong source revision. That did not cause any harm, but also did not bring the announced fixes. That was brought up by community friends, thanks for that....
I am happy to announce that we today were able to release version 1.4.1 of the ownCloud Desktop Client on the three platforms Linux, MacOS and Windows. You find suitable download links as usual at: http://owncloud.org/sync-clients/ Version 1.4.1 is a bugfix release for the 1.4.0 version released a few of weeks ago which brought a lot of new features.

I am happy to release Kraft 0.51 today. Kraft is the KDE solution to handle daily business documents like quotes and invoices in your small business.

You might have heard, ownCloud Client 1.4.0 was released last week. It is available from our sync clients page for all major desktop platforms, investigate the Changelog. Danimos Visual Guide has outlined the new stuff in the release already, so no need to repeat it here. You should install and try it, that seems to be the opinion of many people who tried it. Also people who shared their critical view on the client very publically in the past are much more pleased now with 1....
We released a ownCloud Client 1.4.0 beta 2. Sources and binaries are availabe at the client download page for you. We kindly ask for more testing. First and foremost, beta 2 fixes a severe bug on the windows platform which was the root cause for a lot of other bug you might have experienced, such as infinite sync loops and similar. Please urgently prefer the beta2 over beta1 for testing....
Last week Andreas did an upstream release of the file synchronization software csync. Frequent readers know that csync is the sync engine that is used in the ownCloud client, so this is a very important and special release for us. The new release contains a lot of features and changes me and my collegues worked on during the last 18 month: First we added the ownCloud module to csync upstream, so that csync now is able to sync local directories to an ownCloud server....
Today is release day! We just release ownCloud Client 1.2.5, hurrah! It’s a small bug fix release, but it will make more people happy users! It fixes three ugly crashes we found with the help of encouraged bug hunters. One of them was an race between our thread which runs csync and the Qt SSL stack we’re obviously using. That caused a crash which happened after quite some run time, or also never… Hard to reproduce and debug, but finally Danimo and his mighty friends were able to nail that....
Yesterday, ownCloud Client 1.2.0 was released. You can get it from here. We worked on this since end of november last year, you might have seen my other blogs about the beta versions we had for this release. What is interesting about the release from a more technical point of view? Here are a couple of examples. One of the things which often was complained about was the performance of the client....
