Nextcloud 19 Beta 2 is out – help us test it!

Nextcloud 19 is coming – beta 2 is out

As you might already know we’ve hit feature freeze and we made beta 1 available last week. After testing it many issues were fixed and improvements were made.

Today we put the beta 2 for Nextcloud 19 online!
For this beta we aim to continue testing stability and have apps in the appstore compatible with Nextcloud 19. We want to make sure that upgrades and day to day usage are smooth and as bug-free as possible. Any other feedback, of course, is welcome!

Upgrade to Beta 2 and help us test it!

Time for testing and polishing!

Nextcloud 19 needs testing, bug reporting, bug fixing and some polishing to be perfect. The best time to get involved is now! Here is a list of pending PR’s you can help us with!

We have our automated tests and it has gotten some basic smoke testing but no test scheme can replace the myriad of ways you all use Nextcloud, on NAS devices to big iron servers!

As details make the difference we can use your help for small UI improvements, fixes to details – and of course bugfixes!

If you are new to Nextcloud, you’re more than welcome to get involved – simply join us on github or check out this page on our website.

Note that translations are very welcome too! We have millions of users and they don’t all read English! Let’s make sure 19 is ready for as big a number of users as possible!

Feedback

We appreciate your feedback too- it is a great way to contribute and we’d love to hear your thoughts on the new features. Get Beta 2, check yourself what’s new and let us know what you think! As a beta, of course, the main aim of beta 2 is not to reveal the new features of Nextcloud 19, it’s a call for help to continue making Nextcloud awesome!
