Release Roadmap

Please find the daily release here: https://download.owncloud.com/ocis/ocis/daily/.

ownCloud Infinite Scale is released in three different release flavors: Production, Rolling and Daily. Each of them is targeted to a specific use case and audience group:

• Production will come with released documentation that is specific for the release. It will remain valid throughout the whole livetime of the release. If patches require documentation changes, addendums will be delivered.

• Daily and Rolling have access to the documentation as it moves forward in the development process along with the product which will be available on ownClouds web site. There wont be specific releases. Changelog entries, PR comments and similar engineering output can complement the information.

• Production provides a guaranteed upgrade path from the last Production release, as well as from the previous Rolling release before the new Production. For that, support from ownCloud is required. Upgrades between two Production releases are only supported to tested patch releases provided by ownCloud. In an upgrade process, all released patch releases have to be installed in the correct sequence.

• Rolling is guaranteed to upgrade from the last rolling release or from the previous daily before the new Rolling release. If a critical bug is found in a rolling release, it is guaranteed to be fixed in the next Rolling. There are no backports to the Rolling. In critical cases, an upgrade to a daily release in between has to be done at own risk.

• Daily does not come with any guaranteed update path. Chances are good that updates will go smooth, but that might have hickups in cases where the upgrade code is not finalized in time.

Only production gives a reasonable overlap time between releases, for example if version 9 was released, version 8 will still receive a patch release until the next production release.

ownCloud only offers commercial support for Production. Rolling might be considered for customer installations in the sales process but always requires an individual agreement between all parties.

Daily and Rolling are supported on best effort provided by community and ownCloud staff. There is no SLA and no guarantee for attention.

As ownCloud understands that the effort taken to report a problem is significant and results benefit all users in the community and ownCloud customers, there are resources available to respectfully work on community issues.
