    This release reflects our efforts to further improve the platform support of csync and oCC - this release brings us a big step nearer to a MacOSX release in addition to Linux and Windows. Moreover, in the csync library we improved the error detection and reporting to be able to give the user correct error messages through oCC and avoid unpleasant wrong error message situations.

    Mirall/ownCloud Client, version 1.0.1

    csync 0.50.5 required. With this release we deliver the barely missed SSL support to the users, along with a long line of bugfixes and improvements. SSL support was added, together with a decent certificate warning dialog to warn users about not trusted SSL connections and certificates. The password is not longer stored in clear text, yet its still not securely encrypted (which seems not to be possible at all). For those who put security over convenience we added the option to not store the password at all, but enter at startup. Bugfixes in the following areas also went in: Expect a more robust startup of the app, with more detailed and correct error messages. The sync status display does now display the status faster and and scheduling was fixed. Also work was done to provide oCC on the MacOSX palatform. The cmake based build system was improved to also create mac dmg packages. Yet to release. Finally translations were fixed for the Windows platform. Currently German and English are provided. Detailed list:
    • [Security] Support SSL Connections
    • [Security] SSL Warning dialog
    • [Security] Do not store password in clear text anymore
    • [Security] Restrict credentials to the configured host
    • [Security] Added ability to forbid local password storage.
    • [Fixes] Various fixes of the startup behaviour.
    • [Fixes] Various fixes in sync status display
    • [GUI] Various error messages for user display improved.
    • [GUI] fixed terms and Translations
