Nextcloud 9.0.54 maintenance update is also available now

Oct 4, 2016 21:20 GMT  ·  By

The Nextcloud developers have recently released the first maintenance update to the Nextcloud 10 series of the open-source and cross-platform self-hosting cloud server forked from ownCloud.

Nextcloud 10.0.1 is now the latest, most advanced stable release of the software that lets you build a private and secure cloud server, on your own infrastructure. The new release brings a large number of improvements and attempts to address over 40 issues reported by users since the launch of Nextcloud 10.0.0.

Probably the most important change in the Nextcloud 10.0.1 release is that the built-in updater has been greatly improved to be more reliable. As a consequence, the update notifications have been disabled, and the team made sure that there wouldn't be any broken instances after an upgrade from Nextcloud 9.

"The new updater replaces the files of the existing installation with those of the new release, doing extensive checks in between to ensure the platform, permissions and other requirements are all as they need to be. Once the upgrade of the files is done, the normal update process can be started from either the command line or the browser," reads the announcement.

Users are strongly encouraged to upgrade today

At the moment, it looks like it's not possible to do an automatic upgrade from Nextcloud 9.0.54 to Nextcloud 10.0.1, as you'll still need to do this manually via source tarballs, which you can download from the project's website. In future updates, there will be a web-based updater that should make this process a lot easier for admins.

In related news, Nextcloud 9.0.54 has been released as well for those who have not yet managed to upgrade to Nextcloud 10, and it includes pretty much the same improvements that have been implemented in Nextcloud 10.0.1. The full changelog is available at https://nextcloud.com/changelog/ for additional details.
