== Changes in 10.11.0

Dear ownCloud administrator, find below the changes and known issues in ownCloud Server 10.11 that need your attention. You can also read {oc-changelog-url}[the full ownCloud Server changelog] for further details on what has changed.

=== Migrations

When upgrading from ownCloud Server 10.10, there will be no migration steps impacting the upgrade duration. Therefore the upgrade is expected to finish quickly.

=== Edit Permission for Public Links on Single Files

In previous versions of ownCloud Server, public links on single files could only be created with read-only permissions (`Download / View`). If users wanted to share a file and enable recipients to change it, they had to put that file into a folder and share that with permissions for editing (`Download / View / Edit`). Server 10.11 introduces the `Download / View / Edit` role for public link shares on single files to make a user's life easier. Especially when using ownCloud in combination with web office solutions like ONLYOFFICE, Collabora Online or Microsoft Office Online, users can now quickly and conveniently collaborate on documents with external parties. https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/40264[#40264]

=== Sharing with Multiple Users at once

Server 10.11 introduces the ability to share with multiple users at once by entering their identifiers (e.g., display name, user ID, email address, federated cloud ID) as a comma-separated list in the sharing dialog (e.g., `alice,[email protected],carol`. Based on the inputs, ownCloud will decide how to create the shares (e.g., share with an internal user, invite a new guest, create a federated share). This way, users can easily invite many recipients at once to their files and folders. With Custom Groups version 0.7.0 onwards the same behavior also applies to adding users to Custom Groups. https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/40155[#40155] https://github.com/owncloud/customgroups/pull/522[customgroups#522] https://github.com/owncloud/guests/pull/506[guests#506]

=== Inviting New Guests to Custom Groups

Server 10.11 in combination with Custom Groups 0.7.0 and Guests 0.12.0 allows inviting new guest users directly into a Custom Group. Previously this was only possible by sharing files with new guests first and creating their user account thereby. New guests will not have access to any files nor will they be able to create/upload their own files unless there is a share with the respective Custom Group or with the guest user. https://github.com/owncloud/customgroups/pull/521[#521] https://github.com/owncloud/guests/pull/506[guests#506]

=== New Skeleton Files for Users

For new user accounts, the default skeleton files have been changed a bit in version 10.11. The ownCloud user manual PDF has been removed as it becomes outdated quickly and will not be updated for existing users when a server upgrade is done. It is recommended to provide the official user documentation to users instead. New users will further find a folder called "Learn more about ownCloud" that contains information about the product.

=== Notable Changes

* The default app on login can now be set per individual user. ownCloud use this to remember which UI (Classic UI or ownCloud Web) the user has used during their last session. This way, users are always redirected to their preferred UI after logging in. https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/39600[#39600]
* ownCloud Web will now respect the user's language setting. https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/40087[#40087]
* The command `occ background:queue:status` will now output more information about background jobs. https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/40113[#40113]
* Quota handling has been improved (e.g., when copying or uploading files into shared folders). https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/39895[#39895]
* The context menu for multiple file actions in public links (e.g., "Open with PDF Viewer") works again. https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/40143[#40143]
* Storage encryption has received stability improvements. https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/40240[#40240]
* Guest users will no longer see settings sections which they are not allowed to use. https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/40257[#40257]

* The process for the first login of a new user is now more stable. https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/40091[#40091]
* App passwords now continue to work even when an LDAP connection is temporarily not available. https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/40152[#40152]
* App passwords now work with case-insensitive user names. https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/40281[#40281]
* The SAML/SSO login flow is now more stable, making features like the Microsoft Office Online / WOPI integration work better in combination with SAML. https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/40161[#40161]
* The comments feature now works better on small screens. https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/40142[#40142]
* A new setting `proxy_ignore` has been introduced to exclude requests to certain domains from using the configured `proxy`. https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/40148[#40148]

* If the session_keepalive config option (`session_keepalive` in `config.php`) is set to `false`, a "heartbeat" request will be sent based on activity in order to extend the session lifetime. If there's no activity, the session might expire, and the user will need to login again.
* A new config option `session_forced_logout_timeout` has been introduced in `config.php`. For advanced security, this option can be used to expire user sessions a configurable amount of seconds after they close the ownCloud browser tab or the whole browser, respectively, forcing the user to log in again when they access ownCloud the next time. This option is disabled by default.
