Details

• Bugfix - Fix VFS enable/disable checkbox in the folder wizard: #12144

  After unchecking the VFS checkbox on the last page of the folder wizard, it could not be re-checked. The selective-sync chooser is now correctly disabled when VFS is forced on, and the selective-sync page is skipped entirely in that case to avoid confusion.

• Bugfix - Fix file sync with NFD/NFC filename normalization differences on macOS: #12336

  After a migration from 6.x to 7.x, files whose names were stored in NFD form locally but NFC form on the server were incorrectly treated as a delete and re-upload instead of a rename. Local normalization-only renames are now detected and not propagated to the server, since these differences are not visible to users.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/12336 https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/12356

• Bugfix - Fix compatibility with extra-cmake-modules-6.19.0: #12374

  Fix runtime crash at startup with ECM 6.19.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/12374

• Bugfix - Fix crash on PROPFIND HTTP 400 response: #12380

  The client no longer crashes when a server responds with HTTP status 400 to a PROPFIND request.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/12380

• Bugfix - Make Windows VFS (CfAPI) locking more granular: #12386

  CfAPI locks are now acquired and released more precisely, reducing contention. Sibling items are now consistently grouped in the Explorer sidebar.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/12386

• Bugfix - Fix re-authentication prompt: #12487

  When an access token expired but the refresh token was still valid, the client incorrectly prompted the user to re-authenticate instead of transparently refreshing the token.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/12487

• Change - Update sync exclusion list for Infinite Scale: #12093

  Two file extensions commonly produced by ownCloud Infinite Scale were added to the default sync exclusion list.

• Change - Remove support for ownCloud Server (OC10): #12167

  Support for ownCloud 10 servers has been removed. The client now requires ownCloud Infinite Scale. This includes removal of OC10 authentication flows, sharing code, thumbnail API, update channels, chunked uploads, and the legacy WebFinger fallback.

• Change - Remove the activity tab from account settings: #12307

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/12371

• Change - Distinguish between moves and renames in the activity view: #12494

  When a move operation has the same source and destination folder, it is now displayed as a rename in the activity view instead of a move.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/12494

• Enhancement - New account setup wizard: #12189

  The account setup wizard was completely redesigned. The new wizard uses a modern step-by-step flow with WebFinger-based server discovery, improved error handling, and a configurable branded appearance including themed logos and colors.

• Enhancement - System-based configuration (group policy support): #12367

  Administrators can now configure the client through system-level mechanisms: group policy on Windows, and system configuration files on macOS and Linux. This allows pre-configuring server URLs, authentication settings, and other options for managed deployments.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/12367

• Enhancement - Redesigned account and folder management view: #12399

  The account and folder management panel was rewritten with a new model/delegate architecture. It features improved error display, better tree navigation, context menus for folder actions, and visual polish throughout.
