|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
PHP 5.3 Support Dropped
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
PHP 5.3 is not supported in ownCloud 8, and PHP 5.4 or better is required.
|
||||
|
||||
Disable Apache Multiviews
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
If Multiviews are enabled in your Apache configuration, this may cause problems
|
||||
with content negotiation, so disable Multiviews by removing it from your Apache
|
||||
configuration. Look for lines like this::
|
||||
|
||||
<Directory /var/www/owncloud>
|
||||
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews
|
||||
|
||||
Delete ``Multiviews`` and restart Apache.
|
||||
|
||||
.. https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/9039
|
||||
|
||||
ownCloud Does Not Follow Symlinks
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
ownCloud's file scanner does not follow symlinks, which could lead to
|
||||
infinite loops. To avoid this do not use soft or hard links in your ownCloud
|
||||
data directory.
|
||||
|
||||
.. https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/8976
|
||||
|
||||
No Commas in Group Names
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Creating an ownCloud group with a comma in the group name causes ownCloud to
|
||||
treat the group as two groups.
|
||||
|
||||
.. https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/10983
|
||||
|
||||
Hebrew File Names Too Large Windows IIS
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
On Windows IIS Hebrew file names grow to five times their original size after
|
||||
being translated to Unicode.
|
||||
|
||||
.. https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/8938
|
||||
|
||||
Google Drive Large Files Fail with 500 Error
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Google Drive tries to download the entire file into memory, then write it to a
|
||||
temp file, and then stream it to the client, so very large file downloads from
|
||||
Google Drive may fail with a 500 internal server error.
|
||||
|
||||
.. https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/8810
|
||||
|
||||
Encrypting Large Numbers of Files
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
When you activate the Encryption app on a running server that has large numbers
|
||||
of files, it is possible that you will experience timeouts. It is best to
|
||||
activate encryption at installation, before accumulating large numbers of files
|
||||
on your ownCloud server.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Direct Uploads to SWIFT do not Appear in ownCloud
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
When files are uploaded directly to a SWIFT share mounted as external storage
|
||||
in ownCloud, the files do not appear in ownCloud. However, files uploaded to
|
||||
the SWIFT mount through ownCloud are listed correctly in both locations.
|
||||
|
||||
.. https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/8633
|
||||
|
||||
SWIFT Objectstore Incompatible with Encryption App
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
The current SWIFT implementation is incompatible with any app that uses direct
|
||||
file I/O and circumvents the ownCloud virtual filesystem. Using the Encryption
|
||||
app on a SWIFT object store incurs twice as many HTTP requests and increases
|
||||
latency significantly.

||||

||||

ownCloud 7 Release Notes
|
||||
========================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
LDAP Search Performance Improved
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Prior to 7.0.4, LDAP searches were substring-based and would match search
|
||||
attributes if the substring occurred anywhere in the attribute value. Rather,
|
||||
searches are performed on beginning attributes. With 7.0.4, searches will match
|
||||
at the beginning of the attribute value only. This provides better performance
|
||||
and a better user experience.
|
||||
|
||||
Substring searches can still be performed by prepending the search term with
|
||||
"*".For example, a search for ``te`` will find Terri, but not Nate::
|
||||
|
||||
occ ldap:search "te"
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to broaden the search to include
|
||||
Nate, then search for ``*te``::
|
||||
|
||||
occ ldap:search "*te"
|
||||
|
||||
Refine searches by adjusting your search attributes in the ``User Search
|
||||
Attributes`` form in your LDAP configuration on the Admin page. For example, if
|
||||
your search attributes are ``givenName`` and ``sn`` you can find users by first
|
||||
name + last name very quickly. For example, you'll find Terri Hanson by
|
||||
searching for ``te ha``. Trailing whitespaces are ignored.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Protecting ownCloud on IIS from Data Loss
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Under certain circumstances, running your ownCloud server on IIS could be at
|
||||
risk of data loss. To prevent this, follow these steps.
|
||||
|
||||
In your ownCloud server configuration file, ``owncloud\config\config.php``, set
|
||||
``config_is_read_only`` to true.
|
||||
|
||||
Set the ``config.php`` file to read-only.
|
||||
|
||||
When you make server updates ``config.php`` must be made writeable. When your
|
||||
updates are completed re-set it to read-only.
|
||||
|
||||
Antivirus App Modes
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
The Antivirus App offers three modes for running the ClamAV anti-virus scanner:
|
||||
as a daemon on the ownCloud server, a daemon on a remote server, or an
|
||||
executable mode that calls ``clamscan`` on the local server. We recommend using
|
||||
one of the daemon modes, as they are the most reliable.
|
||||
|
||||
"Enable Only for Specific Groups" Fails
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Some ownCloud applications have the option to be enabled only for certain
|
||||
groups. However, when you select specific groups they do not get access to the
|
||||
app.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes to File Previews
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
For security and performance reasons, file previews are available only for
|
||||
image files, covers of MP3 files, and text files, and have been disabled for
|
||||
all other filetypes. Files without previews are represented by generic icons
|
||||
according to their file types.
|
||||
|
||||
4GB Limit on SFTP Transfers
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Because of limitations in ``phpseclib``, you cannot upload files larger than
|
||||
4GB over SFTP.
|
||||
|
||||
"Not Enough Space Available" on File Upload
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Setting user quotas to ``unlimited`` on an ownCloud installation that has
|
||||
unreliable free disk space reporting-- for example, on a shared hosting
|
||||
provider-- may cause file uploads to fail with a "Not Enough Space Available"
|
||||
error. A workaround is to set file quotas for all users instead of
|
||||
``unlimited``.
|
||||
|
||||
No More Expiration Date On Local Shares
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
In older versions of ownCloud, you could set an expiration date on both local
|
||||
and public shares. Now you can set an expiration date only on public shares,
|
||||
and
|
||||
local shares do not expire when public shares expire.
|
||||
|
||||
Zero Quota Not Read-Only
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Setting a user's storage quota should be the equivalent of read-only, however,
|
||||
users can
|
||||
still create empty files.
|
||||
|
||||
=================
|
||||
Enterprise 7 Only
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
Windows Network Drive
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
Windows Network Drive runs only on Linux servers because it requires the Samba
|
||||
client, which is included in all Linux distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
``php5-libsmbclient`` is also required, and there may be issues with older
|
||||
versions of ``libsmbclient``; see Using External Storage > Installing and
|
||||
Configuring the Windows Network Drive App in the Enterprise Admin manual for
|
||||
more information.
|
||||
|
||||
By default CentOS has activated SELinux, and the ``httpd`` process can not make
|
||||
outgoing network connections. This will cause problems with curl, ldap and samba
|
||||
libraries. Again, see Using External Storage > Installing and Configuring the
|
||||
Windows Network Drive App in the Enterprise Admin manual for instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
Sharepoint Drive SSL
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
Shibboleth and WebDAV Incompatible
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
Shibboleth and standard WebDAV are incompatible, and cannot be used together in
|
||||
ownCloud. If Shibboleth is enabled, the ownCloud client uses an extended WebDAV
|
||||
protocol
|
||||
|
||||
No SQLite
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
SQLite is no longer an installation option for ownCloud Enterprise Edition, as
|
||||
it not suitable for multiple-user installations or managing large numbers of
|
||||
files.
|
||||
|
||||
No App Store
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
The App Store is disabled for the Enterprise Edition.
|
||||
|
||||
LDAP Home Connector Linux Only
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
The LDAP Home Connector application requires Linux (with MySQL, MariaDB,
|
||||
or PostgreSQL) to operate correctly.
