[Owncloud] ownCloud Client 1.1.0 beta1

[Klaas Freitag]

Hi,

I am happy to announce the availability of ownCloud Client 1.1.0 beta1 
together with ownClouds version of csync 0.50.9.

It is the first release with a reworked sync engine: Instead of using 
the modification time of files to detect updates, it now uses uniq ids 
for every file which are issued by the ownCloud server. The ID changes 
if the file changes which is used to detect updates. To decide which 
files are more recent, the modification time (corrected by the time 
difference between server and client) is used.

As ownCloud server also propagates ID changes up in the directory tree 
the client now also supports a way more efficient change detection. 
While earlier client versions had to traverse through all the tree it 
now is possible to check the topmost directory and if that has still the 
same ID, further traversing can be skipped. That results in greatly 
reduced server load.

Note that this is a BETA release for you to test. Please do not use it 
in production environments yet, it still contains bugs! Keep it away 
from your serious data!!
