Change - Remove deprecated code: #7338

getter from our vuex store and support for the

name for theadmin-settings
app. See linked
"Deprecations" issue for more information. -
Change - Keyword Query Language (KQL) search syntax: #9653
We've introduced
KQL
as our default query language. Previously we used our own simple language for
queries which is now replaced by kql.sample.tx* Tags:important Tags:report Content:annual*
Becomes
name:"sample.tx*" AND tag:important AND tag:report AND content:"annual*"
By default KQL uses
AND
as property restriction and the query described above
can also be formulated as followsname:"sample.tx*" tag:important tag:report content:"annual*"
More advanced syntax like grouping combined with boolean property restriction is
supported too(name:"sample*" name:"*txt") tag:important OR tag:report content:"annual*"
BREAKING CHANGE for developers: the term which will be passed to the
search
method of search providers is now wrapped insidename:"..."
. If you don't want
that behaviour you need to strip it out, e.g. via simple regex:const rawTerm = term.match(new RegExp('name:"\\*(.*?)\\*"'))
. -
Change - DavProperties without namespace: #9709
The
DavProperties
coming from theweb-client
package don't include their
namespace anymore. E.g.{http://owncloud.org/ns}fileid
has now become

. This change was part of moving away from the WebDAV implementation of
the ownCloudSDK in favor of a new implementation inweb-client
.There is a new subset
DavProperties.DavNamespace
to identify all properties
living under the default namespace{DAV:}
. All other properties live under the
owncloud namespace{http://owncloud.org/ns}

other devices. -
