The tiles view in Infinite Scale offers several features, including a\u00a0<\/span>selection model, tolerant check boxes, shrinking images, plus Actions, Quick and Main menus and a resizable view.<\/span>
\nAnother new feature in ownCloud web was requested by the community is the\u00a0<\/span>status widget now also shows the average upload speed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The performance of the ownCloud Infinite Scale web interface has been significantly improved by modifications to how it uses the HTTP PROPFIND method.\u00a0Infinite Scale\u00a0now obtains rendering information for the file list faster<\/span>, which in turn makes the display much more efficient. The\u00a0amount of requests has been reduced by as much as 50%, which has lightened the workload of the server\u00a0and ensured that its\u00a0response is lighter and faster, even in instances of high volumes of shares.<\/p>\n

ownCloud Infinite Scale will soon provide\u00a0a<\/span>\u00a0user event log and a Space history. The first draft of the architecture for „History and Notifications“ has already been completed. Once this feature becomes available, users can register for events and receive notifications about the same.<\/p>\n

Another new feature of Infinite Scale is automatic Server detection for the ownCloud clients. The\u00a0Webfinger<\/a>\u00a0protocol is specified in\u00a0RFC7033<\/a>\u00a0and is supposed to help find servers and services. By simply raising an unauthenticated request, a client can find out, for example, the correct identity provider for his Open ID profile. By doing so, users will also be able to ask for the ownCloud instances that they have access to.<\/p>\n

Apart from that, the developers also added an\u00a0expiration feature for the trash bin, which permits\u00a0to purge files from the disk after a predefined expiration time, helping in housekeeping. This is implemented also for Spaces.\u00a0The general administration view now displays additional information for the user, including\u00a0server information that previously used to be available only in the console. In addition to that, administrators can now customize the branding for all clients by uploading a custom logo.<\/p>\n

Android Client now supports Scoped Storage and Document Provider<\/h2>\n

The Android team has been working on the stable version oc-android-3.0.2 and on the upcoming release of 3.0.3.\u00a0Spaces now supports\u00a0Scoped Storage<\/a>, the\u00a0Documents Provider<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0„Open With“ and „Send File“\u00a0 actions.<\/p>\n

Improvements for iOS clients include navigation improvements and\u00a0persistable browser location. The sidebar selection is now in sync with navigation,\u00a0lightweight history results in memory\/CPU savings and users can now benefit from State Restore and open files in new windows (on iPads).<\/p>\n

The desktop client’s upcoming version 3.2.0\u00a0is likely\u00a0<\/span>the last 3.x release<\/span>, while the team continues to work\u00a0on version 4.0.0. In the last two weeks, there’s mostly been non-visible bugfixes and deployment changes, but the key new feature for OSX clients are the\u00a0Mac M1 binaries (as a preview feature).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Over the last two weeks, developers at ownCloud worked towards substantially improving the platform, and also fixed existing bugs. Among these, the most significant improvement is the support for a tiles view in ownCloud Infinite Scale. Furthermore, the new clients for Android and Apple devices now come equipped with interesting features. What’s more, Infinite Scale will now receive user notifications in the web UI and an automatic server detection. An event log and history service with notifications are in the development stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":74896,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[606],"class_list":["post-74895","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-sprint-review"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/owncloud.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/owncloud.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/owncloud.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/owncloud.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/39"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/owncloud.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74895"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/owncloud.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74895\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":74916,"href":"https:\/\/owncloud.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74895\/revisions\/74916"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/owncloud.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/owncloud.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/owncloud.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74895"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/owncloud.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
