General
^^^^^^^

Migration commands
******************

The occ commands in the ``migration:*`` namespace are now only available in :ref:`debug mode<debug-mode>`.

See `the pull request on Github <https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/27113>`__ for more information. If you thought you needed them, feel free to ping the author or a reviewer of the PR to solve the problem correctly. Running migrations directly mostly breaks the database status and is therefore only meant for debugging faulty migrations.

Log format
**********

The JSON log format no longer contains full exception in the message field, but adds a separate exception entry is added and the existing message will only contain the exception message text. This might need adjustments by administrators when logs are extracted to external sources.

Front-end changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Node.js upgrade
***************

Most Nextcloud apps and Nextcloud itself is now built with Node v14 LTS instead of v12. We recommend updating the configuration of your app accordingly.

IE11 removal
************

Internet Explorer 11 was phased out over the past few releases and starting with Nextcloud 22 the front-end code isn't transpiled for IE11 any longer. You may also drop IE11 from your app as core components will possibly fail with this browser anyway.

Back-end changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Removed support for database.xml
********************************

The support for an app's ``appinfo/database.xml`` has been removed.


LDAP factory availability
*************************

``\OCP\LDAP\ILDAPProviderFactory`` received a new method ``isAvailable`` so apps can check if LDAP is configured and used before any attributes are fetched or similar.

Boolean database columns
************************

Since Oracle can not store booleans in a non-nullable boolean column Nextcloud doesn't support non-null boolean columns anymore. Apps have to migrate their schema to nullable boolean columns.


HTTP 401 for invalid username/password
**************************************

When invalid username/password is sent to a Nextcloud API, Nextcloud will now respond with a HTTP 401 status instead of 403.


Removed APIs
************
* ``\OCP\User``
