ownCloud 9.1 Features

A partial list:

• UTF-8 NFD and NFC customer (x3) - While a bug, it is an important one to fix. This will probably also be an issue in the future as more people with Mac and Windows sync on ownCloud. owncloud/core#21365
• New Chunking - A fair amount of good work was almost completed on the new chunking algorithm, we would like to finish this work and make it part of ownCloud 9.1. owncloud/core#20118
• Pluggable Auth - Updating the ownCloud server to enable easier implementation / activation of different authentication mechanisms, such as the L2 request for 2 Factor Auth owncloud/core#23458
• Internal 2 Factor - After creating a more modular authentication mechanism, this will allow an admin to use email to provide a second factor for ownCloud logins. Note: this has mobile and desktop implications for it to be completed. #1211
• Federated Sharing Meta Data - Share meta data (e.g. comments, tags) and file sharing permissions along with the file when sharing using federated cloud sharing. #1207 Flat federation reshares only in 9.1
• Externally renaming a file/folder in a files_external storage breaks the contained shares owncloud/core/#11533
• Updated Background Jobs - enable background jobs in parallel, required for workflow and search owncloud/core#23544 (partially completed, but multiple jobs can be run in the background)
• Invalidate Sessions - When a desktop sync client is authenticated with the server, and a user in LDAP / AD behind the scenes is removed, the desktop client keeps syncing even though the account is removed from LDAP / AD. owncloud/core#23558
