The following sections list the changes in ownCloud Desktop Client unreleased relevant to
ownCloud admins and users.

Summary

• Bugfix - Schedule syncs after an abort: #11396
• Change - Make messages translatable that occur early in start-up: #11142
• Change - Remove unused command line option --language: #11245
• Change - Windows: always use fusion style: #11275
• Change - Deprecate suffix VFS: #11325
• Enhancement - Include recent changes in scheduled syncs: #11347

Details

• Bugfix - Schedule syncs after an abort: #11396

  We fixed a bug where the client stopped scheduling syncs after a sync was
  aborted.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11396

• Change - Make messages translatable that occur early in start-up: #11142

  These messages include the command-line messages (both errors and the help
  text). To do this, the deprecated --confdir option has been removed. This
  option was only used on windows before roaming profiles were supported.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11142
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11246
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11300

• Change - Remove unused command line option --language: #11245

  This option was used before the UI language could be chosen in the settings. The
  option --list-languages is also removed, as it no longer serves a purpose.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11245
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11270

• Change - Windows: always use fusion style: #11275

  We already used the fusion style on Windows for years if the system used dpi
  scaling. Since Qt6.5 the fusion style also support the dark theme on Windows.
  Those two reasons convinced us that always using the fusion style on Windows
  will result in the best experience for the users.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11275

• Change - Deprecate suffix VFS: #11325

  We decided to deprecate the suffix VFS implementations and thus prepare its
  removal in 7.0.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11325

• Enhancement - Include recent changes in scheduled syncs: #11347

  When starting a new sync we now also include the recent change events in the
  discovery.

The following sections list the changes in ownCloud Desktop Client 5.2.0 relevant to
ownCloud admins and users.

Summary

• Bugfix - Fix url resolution for app provider: #11296
• Bugfix - Fix crash on unhandled status code on rename check: #11379

Details

• Bugfix - Fix url resolution for app provider: #11296

  We fixed a bug in the url resolution for the app provider. If owncloud is installed to a non root
  directory we computed a wrong url for the app provider urls. This could trigger a connection
  validation in the client, which intern triggered a request to the app provider. Reulting in an
  endless loop rendering the client unusable.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11296

• Bugfix - Fix crash on unhandled status code on rename check: #11379

  We fixed a bug that caused the application to crash instead of just aborting the current sync.

Changelog for ownCloud Desktop Client [v5.1.2] (2023-11-14)

The following sections list the changes in ownCloud Desktop Client 5.1.2 relevant to
ownCloud admins and users.

Summary

• Bugfix - Fix crash when keychain job takes longer than expected: #11361

Details

• Bugfix - Fix crash when keychain job takes longer than expected: #11361

  In 5.1.1, we introduced a timeout for keychain jobs that killed them when their execution time
  exceeded 5 seconds and log this to allow debugging of problems related to secrets handling.

  Apparently, there are valid cases in which these jobs can take longer than the expected
  timeout, e.g., when the user needs to unlock their keychain first or configure it otherwise.

  We now let the jobs run indefinitely and log every 5 seconds whether the job is still running.

Details

• Bugfix - Prevent permanent deletion of files when disabling VFS: #11331

  When a user disabled the virtual files feature on Windows, all currently dehydrated files were
  deleted accidentally. On the server those files where still available in the trash bin. This
  regression was introduced in the previous release 5.0.0.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11331

• Bugfix - Don't start credentials save jobs during shutdown: #11313

Details

• Bugfix - Crash when accepting a notification: #11226

  We fixed a potential crash when clicking on a notification.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11226

• Bugfix - Fix crash on start-up when starting shell integration: #11280

  A possible crash has been fixed that could occur during start-up, when the shell integration
  started doing requests before the client itself completed starting up.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11280
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11288

• Bugfix - Properly schedule the sync after an account was added: #11308

  We fixed a bug where a folder was scheduled to be synced before the account reported it was ready.
  This resulted in the sync having no effect and the folder was then only synced once we polled the
  etag.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11308

• Bugfix - Don't start credentials save jobs during shutdown: #11313

  Due to a bug we "re saved" the credentials during application shutdown. As the application was
  quitting while the jobs where running we might have encountered corruped credentials or
  crashes.

  We no longer show multiple messages about files which were excluded from the sync because they
  were excluded by the users.

  https://github.com/owncloud/enterprise/issues/5682

• Bugfix - VFS Placeholders can now be replaced with folders: #10223

  If a local VFS placeholder is replaced with a folder on the server, the client previously failed
  to populate the change.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10223

• Bugfix - Authentication dialog no longer appears again and again: #10351

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10351

• Bugfix - Possible deadlock during log setup: #10905

  If an error occured during the setup of the log file, it was possible that the client got
  deadlocked.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10905

• Bugfix - Do not create default sync root when loading accounts: #10919

  Creating the default sync root is only needed at initial setup. If a user chooses to point all
  folders for Spaces outside that default sync root, and deletes the default sync root folder, it
  will now no longer be created.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10919
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11128

• Bugfix - Update capabilites and other info after connect: #10978

  We fixed a bug where server infos might have only been updated several minutes after the client
  connected to the server.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10978

• Bugfix - Account activity and crash after an account was removed: #10990

  We fixed a bug where an account performed actions after it was removed.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10990

• Bugfix - Crash during application shutdown: #11016

  We fixed a where the main instance was accessed after it was destroyed.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11016

• Bugfix - Hide hidden folders again in the selective sync view: #11047

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11047

• Bugfix - Fix check if a file is a placeholder: #11107

  Previously, files with zero bytes in size were considered placeholders. This is not correct,
  and has been fixed by using the correct API to check for placeholders.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11107

• Bugfix - Hydration state of file after a directory was replaced with a file: #11162

  If a synced directory was replaced with a file on the server, we downloaded it instead of
  replacing the folder with a VirtualFile placeholder.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11162

• Bugfix - Only syncronize after the server settings where refreshed: #11168

  We fixed an issue where the sync was started on outdated server settings.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11168

• Bugfix - Consitently use the same icon for folders: #11190

  In 4.0 we introduced a new icon for sync connections. In some places however we continued to use
  the system provided icon for folders, this resulted in an inconsitent applicaiton look.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11190

• Bugfix - Branding of folder status overlay: #11192

  We fixed a bug where branded overlay icons for the display of the sync status where not used.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11192

• Bugfix - Creation of folder on the server: #11232

  We fixed an issue in the FolderSyncWizard when the user provided a path with multiple slashes
  (//folder).

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11232

• Bugfix - Selective sync when not the remote root is synced: #11233

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11233

• Change - Extract Nautilus: #8991

  While the crash reporter still requires a graphical user interface to work, this change
  nevertheless simplifies reporting crashes from the commandline client a lot.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/8991

• Change - Remove support for sidebar entries for non-vfs setups on Windows: #10788

  For vfs setups, this is handled by Windows itself.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10788
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10910

• Change - Remove support for client side system proxy credentials: #10866

  We removed the support to query and store credentials for the system proxy.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10866

• Change - Modernize systray menu: #10939

  We had a closer look on the system tray and cleaned it up.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10939
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10949
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10999

• Change - We removed the pre 2.9 credentials migration: #11081

  Migrating credentials from a 2.8 or older client is no longer possible.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11081

• Change - Remove libcloudproviders integration: #11148

  Since its implementation in 2019 our support our for it was 'limited'. Additionally as far as we
  can tell it was not picked up by any major Linux distribution.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11148
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11157

• Change - Disable context menu item to get a public link for a space: #11242

  The context menu item "Create and copy public link to clipboard" didn't work correctly when
  used with Spaces: users were always redirected to the web frontend. This menu item is now
  disabled, waiting for a server-side changes.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11242
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11079

• Enhancement - Store proxy password securely: #261

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/261

• Enhancement - Windows VFS: Prevent rename to ignored file name: #8216

  We now prevent ranems of virtual files to ignored file names. This basically resulted in a delte
  on the server and a local placeholder that pointed to a non existing file.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/8216
  https://github.com/owncloud/client-desktop-vfs-win/pull/63

• Enhancement - Change how all files deleted is handled: #8360

  When the client detects that all files are deleted on either side of the sync, the client now
  aborts the sync and asks for a user decision. Afterwords a new sync is started.

  Previously we blocked the current sync until the user responded which could lead to unwanted
  side effects.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/8360

• Enhancement - Port from QtSingleApplication to KDSingleApplication: #8432

  Instead of relying on an old copy of QtSingleApplication we use
  https://github.com/KDAB/KDSingleApplication

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/8432
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10754
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10758

• Enhancement - Enable crash reporter in commandline client: #8991

  While the crash reporter still requires a graphical user interface to work, this change
  nevertheless simplifies reporting crashes from the commandline client a lot.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/8991

• Enhancement - Make "Show files versions..." context menu action available: #10197

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10197

• Enhancement - Log http request when it is send: #10313

  We now log the http request when it is send, not when it is created. This will elable us to print
  more headers set by the platform and messaure the request time more accurately.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10313

• Enhancement - Allow selective sync of spaces in folder wizard: #10596

  When manually configuring the synchronization of spaces, we now show the selective sync page
  again to allow users to selectively disable the synchronization of remote directories.

  This prevents the unnecessary synchronization of files until the user can use the account
  settings dialog to configure selective sync.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10596
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11044

• Enhancement - Send a language header in all http requests: #10619

  All http requests to the server will now contain the language for the client. This can be used by
  the server to localize responses like error messages.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10619
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11020

• Enhancement - Help user fix problems on the last setup wizard page: #10680

  When there are problems within the advanced configuration on the last setup wizard page, we no
  longer just show an error message but also "unhide" those settings to give the user a chance of
  fixing the problem.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10680
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11029

• Enhancement - Display a progress spinner during the initial setup: #10751

  We now display a progress spinner after the setup wizard, until the client is done setting the
  account up.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10751

• Enhancement - Reduce how often file changes are handled: #10825

  We no longer handle file changes every 1s but gather them for 10s and handle them then.

  This should reduce the amount of unnecessary checksum computations and attempted syncs.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10825

• Enhancement - Persist filter settings for Not Synced tab: #10928

  We now store the filter settings in the Not Synced tab. So after a restart of the client, the
  filter will still be the same as the last time.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10884
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10928

• Enhancement - --cmd argument added to the GUI client: #10976

  In 4.1 we added a --cmd argument to the AppImage to allow users to use the commandline client
  contained in the AppImage more easily.

  The --cmd argument is now supported on all platforms to support consistency.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10905

• Bugfix - Do not create default sync root when loading accounts: #10919

  Creating the default sync root is only needed at initial setup. If a user chooses to point all

  and has been fixed by using the correct API to check for placeholders.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11107

• Bugfix - Hydration state of file after a directory was replaced with a file: #11162

  replacing the folder with a VirtualFile placeholder.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11162

  We fixed an issue where the sync was started on outdated server settings.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11168

• Bugfix - Consitently use the same icon for folders: #11190

  In 4.0 we introduced a new icon for sync connections. In some places however we continued to use
  the system provided icon for folders, this resulted in an inconsitent applicaiton look.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11190

• Bugfix - Branding of folder status overlay: #11192

  We fixed a bug where branded overlay icons for the display of the sync status where not used.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11192

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/8991

• Change - Remove support for sidebar entries for non-vfs setups on Windows: #10788

  For vfs setups, this is handled by Windows itself.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10788
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10910

• Change - Remove support for client side system proxy credentials: #10866

  We removed the support to query and store credentials for the system proxy.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10999

• Change - We removed the pre 2.9 credentials migration: #11081

  Migrating credentials from a 2.8 or older client is no longer possible.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11081

  Since its implementation in 2019 our support our for it was 'limited'. Additionally as far as we
  can tell it was not picked up by any major Linux distribution.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11148
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11157

• Change - Disable context menu item to get a public link for a space: #11242

  on the server and a local placeholder that pointed to a non existing file.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/8216
  https://github.com/owncloud/client-desktop-vfs-win/pull/63

• Enhancement - Change how all files deleted is handled: #8360

  When the client detects that all files are deleted on either side of the sync, the client now
  aborts the sync and asks for a user decision. Afterwords a new sync is started.

  Previously we blocked the current sync until the user responded which could lead to unwanted
  side effects.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/8360

• Enhancement - Port from QtSingleApplication to KDSingleApplication: #8432

  Instead of relying on an old copy of QtSingleApplication we use

• Enhancement - Make "Show files versions..." context menu action available: #10197

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10197

• Enhancement - Log http request when it is send: #10313

  We now log the http request when it is send, not when it is created. This will elable us to print
  more headers set by the platform and messaure the request time more accurately.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10313

• Enhancement - Allow selective sync of spaces in folder wizard: #10596

  When manually configuring the synchronization of spaces, we now show the selective sync page
  again to allow users to selectively disable the synchronization of remote directories.

  This prevents the unnecessary synchronization of files until the user can use the account
  settings dialog to configure selective sync.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10596
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11044

• Enhancement - Send a language header in all http requests: #10619

  All http requests to the server will now contain the language for the client. This can be used by
  the server to localize responses like error messages.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10619
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11020

• Enhancement - Help user fix problems on the last setup wizard page: #10680

  When there are problems within the advanced configuration on the last setup wizard page, we no
  longer just show an error message but also "unhide" those settings to give the user a chance of
  fixing the problem.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10680
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11029

• Enhancement - Display a progress spinner during the initial setup: #10751

  account up.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10751

• Enhancement - Reduce how often file changes are handled: #10825

  We no longer handle file changes every 1s but gather them for 10s and handle them then.

  This should reduce the amount of unnecessary checksum computations and attempted syncs.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10825

• Enhancement - Persist filter settings for Not Synced tab: #10928

  We now store the filter settings in the Not Synced tab. So after a restart of the client, the
  filter will still be the same as the last time.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10884
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10928

• Enhancement - --cmd argument added to the GUI client: #10976

  In 4.1 we added a --cmd argument to the AppImage to allow users to use the commandline client

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11190

• Bugfix - Branding of folder status overlay: #11192

  We fixed a bug where branded overlay icons for the display of the sync status where not used.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11192

• Change - Remove support for sidebar entries for non-vfs setups on Windows: #10788

  For vfs setups, this is handled by Windows itself.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10788
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10910

• Change - Remove support for client side system proxy credentials: #10866

  We removed the support to query and store credentials for the system proxy.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10866

• Change - Modernize systray menu: #10939

  We had a closer look on the system tray and cleaned it up.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10939
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10949
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10999

• Change - We removed the pre 2.9 credentials migration: #11081

  Migrating credentials from a 2.8 or older client is no longer possible.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11081

• Change - Remove libcloudproviders integration: #11148

  Since its implementation in 2019 our support our for it was 'limited'. Additionally as far as we
  can tell it was not picked up by any major Linux distribution.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11148
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11157

• Enhancement - Store proxy password securely: #261

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/261

• Enhancement - Windows VFS: Prevent rename to ignored file name: #8216

  We now prevent ranems of virtual files to ignored file names. This basically resulted in a delte
  on the server and a local placeholder that pointed to a non existing file.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/8216
  https://github.com/owncloud/client-desktop-vfs-win/pull/63

• Enhancement - Change how all files deleted is handled: #8360

  When the client detects that all files are deleted on either side of the sync, the client now
  aborts the sync and asks for a user decision. Afterwords a new sync is started.

  Previously we blocked the current sync until the user responded which could lead to unwanted
  side effects.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/8360

• Enhancement - Port from QtSingleApplication to KDSingleApplication: #8432

  Instead of relying on an old copy of QtSingleApplication we use
  https://github.com/KDAB/KDSingleApplication

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/8432
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10754
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10758

• Enhancement - Enable crash reporter in commandline client: #8991

  While the crash reporter still requires a graphical user interface to work, this change
  nevertheless simplifies reporting crashes from the commandline client a lot.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/8991

• Enhancement - Make "Show files versions..." context menu action available: #10197

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10197

• Enhancement - Log http request when it is send: #10313

  We now log the http request when it is send, not when it is created. This will elable us to print
  more headers set by the platform and messaure the request time more accurately.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10313

• Enhancement - Allow selective sync of spaces in folder wizard: #10596

  When manually configuring the synchronization of spaces, we now show the selective sync page
  again to allow users to selectively disable the synchronization of remote directories.

  This prevents the unnecessary synchronization of files until the user can use the account
  settings dialog to configure selective sync.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10596
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11044

• Enhancement - Send a language header in all http requests: #10619

  All http requests to the server will now contain the language for the client. This can be used by
  the server to localize responses like error messages.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10619
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11020

• Enhancement - Help user fix problems on the last setup wizard page: #10680

  When there are problems within the advanced configuration on the last setup wizard page, we no
  longer just show an error message but also "unhide" those settings to give the user a chance of
  fixing the problem.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10680
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11029

• Enhancement - Display a progress spinner during the initial setup: #10751

  We now display a progress spinner after the setup wizard, until the client is done setting the
  account up.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10751

• Enhancement - Reduce how often file changes are handled: #10825

  We no longer handle file changes every 1s but gather them for 10s and handle them then.

  This should reduce the amount of unnecessary checksum computations and attempted syncs.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10825

• Enhancement - Persist filter settings for Not Synced tab: #10928

  We now store the filter settings in the Not Synced tab. So after a restart of the client, the
  filter will still be the same as the last time.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10884
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10928

• Enhancement - --cmd argument added to the GUI client: #10976

  In 4.1 we added a --cmd argument to the AppImage to allow users to use the commandline client
  contained in the AppImage more easily.

  The --cmd argument is now supported on all platforms to support consistency.

Details

• Bugfix - Avoid duplicate notifications when selective sync is enabled: #5682

  We no longer show multiple messages about files which were excluded from the sync because they
  were excluded by the users.

  https://github.com/owncloud/enterprise/issues/5682

• Bugfix - VFS Placeholders can now be replaced with folders: #10223

  If a local VFS placeholder is replaced with a folder on the server, the client previously failed
  to populate the change.

• Bugfix - Authentication dialog no longer appears again and again: #10351

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10351

• Bugfix - Possible deadlock during log setup: #10905

  If an error occured during the setup of the log file, it was possible that the client got
  deadlocked.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10905

• Bugfix - Do not create default sync root when loading accounts: #10919

  Creating the default sync root is only needed at initial setup. If a user chooses to point all
  folders for Spaces outside that default sync root, and deletes the default sync root folder, it
  will now no longer be created.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10919
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11128

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11047

• Bugfix - Fix check if a file is a placeholder: #11107

  Previously, files with zero bytes in size were considered placeholders. This is not correct,
  and has been fixed by using the correct API to check for placeholders.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11107

• Bugfix - Hydration state of file after a directory was replaced with a file: #11162

  If a synced directory was replaced with a file on the server, we downloaded it instead of
  replacing the folder with a VirtualFile placeholder.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11162

• Bugfix - Only syncronize after the server settings where refreshed: #11168

  We fixed an issue where the sync was started on outdated server settings.

Details

• Bugfix - Avoid duplicate notifications when selective sync is enabled: #5682

  We no longer show multiple messages about files which were excluded from the sync because they
  were excluded by the users.

  https://github.com/owncloud/enterprise/issues/5682

• Bugfix - Possible deadlock during log setup: #10905

  If an error occured during the setup of the log file, it was possible that the client got
  deadlocked.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10905

• Bugfix - Wrong davUser in cmd client: #10946

  We fixed a bug where the wrong dav user was used in the url, when the username from the credentials
  differed from the username used on the server.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10946

• Bugfix - Missing mtime in ocis uploads: #10950

  When uploading a file to ocis the server ignores the X-OC-Mtime header and expects the mtime to
  be part of the Upload-Metadata header. We now provide both.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10950

• Bugfix - Update capabilites and other info after connect: #10978

  We fixed a bug where server infos might have only been updated several minutes after the client
  connected to the server.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10978

• Bugfix - Account activity and crash after an account was removed: #10990

  We fixed a bug where an account performed actions after it was removed.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10990

• Bugfix - Crash during application shutdown: #11016

  We fixed a where the main instance was accessed after it was destroyed.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11016

• Bugfix - Hide hidden folders again in the selective sync view: #11047

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/11047

• Change - Remove support for sidebar entries for non-vfs setups on Windows: #10788

  For vfs setups, this is handled by Windows itself.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10788
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10910

• Change - Remove support for client side system proxy credentials: #10866

  We removed the support to query and store credentials for the system proxy.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10866

• Change - Modernize systray menu: #10939

  We had a closer look on the system tray and cleaned it up.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10939
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10949
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10999

• Change - We removed the pre 2.9 credentials migration: #11081

  Migrating credentials from a 2.8 or older client is no longer possible.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11081

• Enhancement - Store proxy password securely: #261

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/261

• Enhancement - Change how all files deleted is handled: #8360

  When the client detects that all files are deleted on either side of the sync, the client now
  aborts the sync and asks for a user decision. Afterwords a new sync is started.

  Previously we blocked the current sync until the user responded which could lead to unwanted
  side effects.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/8360

• Enhancement - Port from QtSingleApplication to KDSingleApplication: #8432

  Instead of relying on an old copy of QtSingleApplication we use
  https://github.com/KDAB/KDSingleApplication

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/8432
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10754
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10758

• Enhancement - Enable crash reporter in commandline client: #8991

  While the crash reporter still requires a graphical user interface to work, this change
  nevertheless simplifies reporting crashes from the commandline client a lot.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/8991

• Enhancement - Make "Show files versions..." context menu action available: #10197

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10197

• Enhancement - Log http request when it is send: #10313

  We now log the http request when it is send, not when it is created. This will elable us to print
  more headers set by the platform and messaure the request time more accurately.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10313

• Enhancement - Allow selective sync of spaces in folder wizard: #10596

  When manually configuring the synchronization of spaces, we now show the selective sync page
  again to allow users to selectively disable the synchronization of remote directories.

  This prevents the unnecessary synchronization of files until the user can use the account
  settings dialog to configure selective sync.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10596
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11044

• Enhancement - Send a language header in all http requests: #10619

  All http requests to the server will now contain the language for the client. This can be used by
  the server to localize responses like error messages.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10619
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11020

• Enhancement - Help user fix problems on the last setup wizard page: #10680

  When there are problems within the advanced configuration on the last setup wizard page, we no
  longer just show an error message but also "unhide" those settings to give the user a chance of
  fixing the problem.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10680
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/11029

• Enhancement - Display a progress spinner during the initial setup: #10751

  We now display a progress spinner after the setup wizard, until the client is done setting the
  account up.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10751

• Enhancement - Reduce how often file changes are handled: #10825

  We no longer handle file changes every 1s but gather them for 10s and handle them then.

  This should reduce the amount of unnecessary checksum computations and attempted syncs.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10825

• Enhancement - Persist filter settings for Not Synced tab: #10928

  We now store the filter settings in the Not Synced tab. So after a restart of the client, the
  filter will still be the same as the last time.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10884
  https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/10928

• Enhancement - --cmd argument added to the GUI client: #10976

  In 4.1 we added a --cmd argument to the AppImage to allow users to use the commandline client
  contained in the AppImage more easily.

  The --cmd argument is now supported on all platforms to support consistency.

Changelog for ownCloud Desktop Client [v4.1.0] (2023-06-16)

The following sections list the changes in ownCloud Desktop Client 4.1.0 relevant to
ownCloud admins and users.

Summary

• Bugfix - Show systray status when a sync error occurred: #10834
• Bugfix - Owncloudcmd: Ensure plugin path is initialized on Linux: #10842
• Bugfix - Use correct user name with basic auth and LDAP: #10856
• Enhancement - Allow users to call commandline client from AppImage: #10888

Details

• Bugfix - Follow same site redirects in the Wizard: #5743

  We fixed a bug where the client did not follow same site redirects during the setup. If the used
  url https://test.com/owncloud redirected to https://test.com the new url was not correctly
  used for the newly created account.

  https://github.com/owncloud/enterprise/issues/5743

• Bugfix - Show systray status when a sync error occurred: #10834

  The systray menu for the ownCloud icon has an entry that shows the sync status. However, when a
  sync error occurred, the entry would have no text in it. This has now been fixed.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10834

• Bugfix - Owncloudcmd: Ensure plugin path is initialized on Linux: #10842

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10842

• Bugfix - Use correct user name with basic auth and LDAP: #10856

  Whith basic auth the name from the login credentials might not align with the name on the server.
  We corrected the assumption and no longer change the user name.

  https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/10856

• Enhancement - Allow users to call commandline client from AppImage: #10888

  When the AppImage is called with the new commandline parameter --cmd, it will internally
  dispatch the call to the contained owncloudcmd binary. Otherwise, the call will be forwarded
  to the regular owncloud GUI binary as before.
