Yesterday the ownCloud Client team released the ownCloud Client 1.2.0 beta 2. It includes a couple of improvements compared to beta 1 which was released before Christmas.

The release of version 1.2.0 is planned for the next week if things go smooth.

In particular, the the following improvements were added:

  • Proxy authentication fixed (Basic auth, NTLM will not yet work)
  • The status dialog now provides statistics on the last sync run (via the info button). It will tell in detail which files have been synced, added or deleted.
  • Client will go offline while the server in in maintenance mode (feature available with ownCoud master only)
  • Improved SSL Certificate acceptance
  • All sizes of the new icons are available.
  • Support files > 2 GB on all platforms for uploading.
  • Fixed some minor memory leaks and again saved some server requests through optimizations.
  • Improved error reporting to the user.
  • Remove legacy theming support.

We would appreciate if you give this release a test ride. Note that because it is beta you should make extra sure to have have backups of your data.
