[Owncloud] ownCloud Client v. 1.5.1 Release Candidate

[Jan Giebels]

Hi,

i don’t understand every single note at the draft changelog but maybe someone can tell me if the significant performance impact of the 1.5.0 client is fixed?

Specially on notebooks the problem is that the client produce a very high cpu load even if it is in sync. this drains batteries like hell ;)

thx

Jan
