[Owncloud] ownCloud Client v. 1.5.1 Release Candidate

[Klaas Freitag]

Hi,

we're happy to announce the first release candidate of ownCloud Client 
version 1.5.1.

The most outstanding new feature is a automatic updater for the windows 
platform. It updates the windows client automatically if a new version 
is found on the server. This will also come for the Mac platform on the 
next version, but not for Linux where we continue to rely on the 
distribution packages.

Also a lot of other fixes and smaller features went into this release, 
please refer to the draft status changelog below.

Please help testing and post any bugs you might find to the github bug 
tracker. Please prepend the bugs subject with [1.5.1 rc1]. Needless to 
say that this is not yet released software which should not be used on 
production data.

Thanks,

Klaas
