openSUSE on RaspberryPi with ownCloud

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. Oh, surprise, there is even a file from november 10th, so I downloaded that. People always recommend the latest stuff. ...

Kraft Release 0.53

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. ...

ownCloud Client Release 1.4.1

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. This one solves a couple of problems that were coming up during the last few weeks. For example, the problem that the client lost its configuration (at least) on the Win32 platform when the machine was shut down is fixed. Also a lot of redundant uploads wont happen any more. And there are even more fixes, as the detailed Changelog rules out. ...

After the 1.4.0 ownCloud Client Release

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 1.4.0. One example is a recent blog post on BITBlokes. It is a blog about all kind of topics around FOSS. I regularly read it and often share its opinions. He concludes very positively about the 1.4.0 client. ...

Csync Upstream Release 0.50.0

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. The ownCloud client works on platforms Linux and MacOSX and Windows. That required a lot of (tricky) changes to the csync platform which we carefully backported to csync upstream. ...
