RC2s of 25.0.2, 24.0.8, 23.0.12

[blizzz]

Maintenance releases of 25.0.2, 24.0.8 and 23.0.12 are coming in a week and a second round of RCs for those are now available on our download server.

As always, help with testing is very much welcome!

We updated our servers, did our tests, and the release candidates seem pretty decent. Still, give it a whirl and report back here so we’re even more sure that it’s good to go! If you notice anything out of order, please report back on the appropriate github repository!

Nextcloud 23 will receive its last release and enter end of life. If you are still on 23, it is a good idea to plan your upgrade.

Also PHP 7.4 reached end of life on Nov 28 and will not receive any security releases by the PHP team anymore. If you have not so far, strongly consider to upgrade your PHP or distribution.

The good
25.0.2rc2: It’s great to see that user editing works better again: the checkmarks when attributing/removing user in groups is now visible again. And also the sharing deadlines for users/groups are there again. Yeah!

The bad
25.0.2rc2 introduces a styling bug in the dashboard: the contents flow out of the boxes – just added a Github issue: [Regression in 25.0.2rc2] Dashboard contents flow out of their content boxes · Issue #35585 · nextcloud/server · GitHub - (maybe also in rc1, have not realized before)
