Known issue: https://doc.owncloud.org/desktop/2.5 renders without stylesheets.

[jnweiger]

daily linux build of 2.5 are building fine on all platforms. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/isv:ownCloud:desktop:daily:2.5/owncloud-client -- any special features we should watch out for manual testing?

[jnweiger]

virustotal is happy with ownCloud-2.5.2.11314.11170-daily20190115.msi

[guruz]

@DeepDiver1975 the last transifex commit in 2.5 was from mid december.
https://github.com/owncloud/client/commits/2.5 (same in master branch)

In https://www.transifex.com/owncloud-org/owncloud/client/ I see last source change is 8th of November?(actually on the page before)

[jnweiger]

SUSE obs still has several http vs https inconsistencies, making our test suite fail. added a docker/debian9.sh entry point to manually run one of the affected platforms. linux-client-tests OK.

[guruz]

rc2 is building.

@DeepDiver1975 the last transifex commit in 2.5 was from mid december.

@DeepDiver1975 did you fix something there? Commits are coming again from transifex

(owncloudclient-2.5.2.11325-rc1.tar.xz not copied. That would be so much easier, if everything had the source build number!)

[jnweiger]

The wordpress page at https://owncloud.org/download now has 2.5.2 for all platforms.

[michaelstingl]

@jnweiger could you also link the single-language *.MSI for GPO-deployments? (see https://owncloud.com/download/#desktop-clients )

[jnweiger]

Added https://owncloud.com/download/#desktop-clients to the release checklist. TODO: find credentials.

[jnweiger]

Update the updater: https://github.com/owncloud/enterprise/pull/3112
Please someone find the typo, then merge :-)
