Caching Change for LDAP App
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The persistent file-based cache has been dropped and replaced with a
memory-only cache, which must be explicitly configured. See
:doc:`configuration_user/user_auth_ldap`
Changes in 8.1
--------------
Special Migration Considerations for Encryption
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Download from link" feature has been removed.
The ``.htaccess`` and ``index.html`` files in the ``data/`` directory are now
updated after every update. If you make any modifications to these files they
will be lost after updates.
The SabreDAV browser at ``/remote.php/webdav`` has been removed.
Using ownCloud without a ``trusted_domain`` configuration will not work anymore.
The logging format for failed logins has changed and considers now the proxy
configuration in ``config.php``.
A default set of security and privacy HTTP headers have been added to the
ownCloud ``.htaccess`` file, and ownCloud administrators may now customize which
headers are sent.
The persistent file-based cache for LDAP integration has been dropped and
replaced with a memory-only cache, which must be explicitly configured. See
:doc:`configuration_user/user_auth_ldap`. Memory cache configuration for the
ownCloud server is no longer automatic, requiring configuration in
``config.php```` with the keys memcache.local`` and/or
``memcache.distributed``; see :ref:`caching`.
The OC_User_HTTP backend has been removed. Administrators are encouraged to use
the ``user_webdavauth`` application instead.
ownCloud ships now with its own root certificate bundle derived from the
Mozilla. The system root certificate bundle will not be used anymore for most
requests.
When you upgrade from ownCloud 8.0, with encryption enabled, to 8.1, you must
enable the new encryption backend and migrate your encryption keys. See
:doc:`configuration_files/encryption_configuration`
Older Desktop Clients Not Allowed to Connect and Sync
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Because of various technical issues, desktop sync clients older than 1.7 are
not allowed to connect and sync with the ownCloud server.
Windows Not Supported
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Due to various technical issues, by default desktop sync clients older than
1.7 are not allowed to connect and sync with the ownCloud server. This is
configurable via the ``minimum.supported.desktop.version`` switch in
``config.php``.
The ownCloud 8 server is not supported on any version of Windows.
Enterprise 8.1 Only
-------------------
Sharepoint Drive SSL Not Verified
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The SharePoint Drive app does not verify the SSL certificate of the SharePoint
server or the ownCloud server, as it is expected that both devices are in the
same trusted environment.

What's New for Admins in ownCloud 8
===================================
=====================================
What's New for Admins in ownCloud 8.1
=====================================
New Packaging
-------------
ownCloud Server and Enterprise Subscription 8.1 are shipping with a batch of
improvements and new features, including:
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.
* 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)
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:
* 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
* 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.
* 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"
