We have a new ownCloud server maintenance release – say Hi to 9.1.5!

The community and our developers are working hard to improve ownCloud every day.

The community and our developers are working hard to improve ownCloud every day. This small post shall notify you of the biggest changes:

  • We worked around rate limit issues from the Google Drive API – they accept only limited requests per minute to avoid API DOS, so we had to slow down our requests. This improves stability and performance of GDrive external storage.
  • To improve performance, we solved some performance problems, for example
    • LDAP quota behavior inconsistencies
    • useless database queries when using LDAP
  • And for the crypto enthusiasts, link shares now work correctly when using master key encryption.

 

Of course not only Version 9.1 got a new number at the end – the changes also went into 2 of the older Versions, so you can now upgrade also to the new versions 9.0.9 and 8.2.11. You should note though, that 8.2 reaches end of life at the end of May – you should begin planning an upgrade to a newer version of ownCloud.

Thank you all for your contribution! You make ownCloud better every single day.

Alt Text for Every Image. No Manual Work. No Excuses.

Missing alt text is one of the most commonly flagged WCAG failures. EN 301 549 mandates it for public sector ICT across Europe. As of today, oCIS ships an extension that generates a credible first draft with your configured vision LLM, lets the user edit it, and writes it back to the file as a WebDAV property that survives the session. A meaningful compliance tool, not just a convenience feature.

ownCloud Infinite Scale 8.1.0: MFA-Gated Vault Storage Arrives

oCIS 8.1.0 introduces MFA-gated vault storage as an isolated storage plane: its own provider ID, no public or federated sharing path, MFA propagated end to end, and a UI that makes the distinction obvious. Plus a public-share access control fix and roughly 60 other changes across indexing, LDAP, and connection recovery.
