The H<\/a>) highlighted the issue with our 5.01 and 5.02 updates.<\/p>\nThese updates to the Community Edition \u0096 while fixing some issues —
\ntriggered a problem with database indexes length limit with older MySQL
\nversions and a filesystem cache migration issue while upgrading from older
\nversions. Although we had been aware of the issues, and released the fix, we
\nthank Heise and The H for alerting users.<\/p>\n
As you know ownCloud has the goal to be very flexible and to run a big
\nvariety of servers from small Raspberry Pis to big clusters. The ownCloud
\nserver runs on Windows, Mac and Linux, can use 5 different database systems,
\nsupport several different webservers, PHP versions and can be configured in
\na lot of different ways. And users can also install 3rd party apps that also
\nbring in additional complexity.<\/p>\n
All this has to be properly tested and documented. Unfortunately at least 2
\nserious problems slipped into the 5.0.1 release.<\/p>\n
The first problem was that we overlooked a restriction of older MySQL
\nversion to only allow indexes with a maximum of 767 bytes. This wasn’t
\nnoticed by the developers because everybody used newer MySQL versions or
\ndifferent databases. The second problem was an filesystem cache DB upgrade
\nbug which triggered the wrong upgrade routine for some users.
\nThese problems were partly fixed with 5.0.2 and fully fixed with 5.0.3 which
\nwe released 24 hours after 5.0.1<\/p>\n
We are very sorry for the trouble that we might have caused our community
\nusers and we are working very hard to prevent this bugs in the future.<\/p>\n
The good news is that we’ve been working for some time to establish more and
\nmore automated integration tests. These tests will be extended to cover
\nupgrade problems like this is the very near future.<\/p>\n
Just a reminder:<\/p>\n
We are on track to launch a commercially-supported ownCloud 5 Enterprise Edition in the second quarter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
