Nextcloud heeft updates voor versies 12 en 13 van hun gelijknamige software uitgebracht. Met dit programma is het mogelijk om in eigen beheer cloudopslag te draaien. Nextcloud is ontstaan nadat een groot aantal ontwikkelaars bij ownCloud zijn weggelopen en opnieuw zijn begonnen. Alle onderdelen, inclusief de enterprisefunctionaliteit, worden als open source aangeboden en het verdienmodel is gelijk aan wat Red Hat doet, namelijk het leveren van betaalde ondersteuning voor grote klanten. Nextcloud belooft verder een zogenaamde drop-in replacement, die het mogelijk maakt om eenvoudig van ownCloud naar Nextcloud over te stappen.
In versie 13 heeft de gebruikersinterface een opfrisbeurt gekregen, waardoor hij vlotter reageert en er beter op hoge resoluties uitziet. Verder is ldap een stuk sneller geworden en zien we de introductie van Nextcloud Talk, een audio-video- en tekstcommunicatieplatform. De release notes voor deze update kunnen hieronder worden gevonden.
Nextcloud: 13.0.2 and 12.0.7 available, Collabora Online 3.2 is out!
We have made available minor updates to Nextcloud 12 and 13. As usual, these bring stability and reliability improvements and we urge all users to upgrade at their earliest convenience! Customers can rely on the stand-by upgrade support from Nextcloud GmbH if needed.
Time to upgrade to 13!
If you have not yet migrated to Nextcloud 13, consider doing so! The release has proven to be extremely stable.Of course, if you are maintaining a mission-critical Nextcloud system for your enterprise, it is still highly recommended that you get yourself some insurance (and job security… who gets blamed if the file handling system isn’t working as expected?). A hotline to the core Nextcloud developers is the best guarantee for reliable service for your users.
What is new?
That Nextcloud 13 has been very reliable does not mean there have been no changes – though it has been less than usual. Over 30 minor issues were dealt with, including:Speaking of outdated software: Note that Nextcloud 11 is no longer maintained. We urge users of 11 to upgrade or contact Nextcloud sales to ensure the security of your system.
