Download ownCloud Client 1.8.1

Version 1.8.1 of ownCloud Client has become available. OwnCloud is an open source project that makes it possible to run cloud storage in-house. It is easy to set up as all you need is a server running PHP and MySQL. In addition to storing and sharing files, it is also possible to stream music, for example, or to keep a calendar and address book. Clients are available for Windows, Linux, OS X (from 10.7), Android and iOS. The changelog of version 1.8.1 can be found below.

ownCloud Desktop Client 1.8.1 released

This is a pure bugfix release, and we strongly recommend to update. Here are the most important issues we addressed:

• Should files have disappeared locally (ie on the local computer) during the use of 1.8.0, the files will still be on the server, and upgrading to 1.8.1 will bring them back. This will also mean that after the 1.8.1 installation, the client take some time (depending on the amount of files downloaded) to finish its sanity checks. this is expected behaviour.
• Possible data corruption bug during upload present in all previous releases (under rare conditions) It was caused by a bug in the 3rd party Qt library. Mac OS X and Windows packages come with updated libraries, so no further action is required.On Linux, we have informed Distribution vendors, and they have or are about to issue updates.
  Note: if you are using Linux, watch out for upcoming updates to Qt and make sure to install them. They fix a possible upload corruption that affects ownCloud Desktop Client. Windows and Mac OS X ship with a Qt version that have the respective patches applied.
• Hibernation problem: After Hibernation, the client would sometimes not resume operation: This has been fixed.
• Fix SSL validation problem on Mac OS 10.10.3 caused by the removal of weak 1024 bit root certificates.
