Call for testing: Nextcloud 12.0.5 RC2 & 11.0.7 RC2

[MorrisJobke]

Edit: There is now RC2 - see Call for testing: Nextcloud 12.0.5 RC2 & 11.0.7 RC2

We just released the 12.0.5 RC1 & 11.0.7 RC1. You can find the changelog at the end of this post.
To make sure everything works as expected also in your environment, we’d greatly appreciate your help to test it.

While we expect the release to not eat any data and be stable, the usual disclaimer is still valid: Make sure to have backups before updating!

… once you have done that, grab the code from https://download.nextcloud.com/server/prereleases/ and simply update your instance as usual by removing all old files and putting the new files in place. It is also shipped by our update server to all instances of Nextcloud 11 or Nextcloud 12 with the beta channel selected. (sadly most of the people migrated to the 13 beta now )

If you encounter any issues, please leave a comment here and file an issue at https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues (or the appropriate repository of the component)

Thanks to all the awesome people that contributed in some way to this release! Be it with coding, translating, helping people, filing issues, etc.

Keep rocking
