Keep informed about the latest changes in Fedora 22's ownCloud update, which includes vital security improvements and tips for safeguarding user data backup.
This update provides the latest upstream release of ownCloud in the current minor series - 8.0.9 for all releases but EPEL 6, 7.0.11 for EPEL 6

Summary

ownCloud gives you universal access to your files through a web interface or

WebDAV. It also provides a platform to easily view & sync your contacts,

calendars and bookmarks across all your devices and enables basic editing right

on the web. ownCloud is extendable via a simple but powerful API for

applications and plugins.

Update Information:

This update provides the latest upstream release of ownCloud in the current minor series - 8.0.9 for all releases but EPEL 6, 7.0.11 for EPEL 6. These releases come with unspecified "security improvements", so updating quickly is recommended. As usual, a minor update should apply smoothly, but we advise you back up user data, configuration, and database contents before applying the update.
