Software update: Nextcloud 22.0.0

Version 22 of Nextcloud Hub has been released. With Nextcloud it is possible to run cloud storage in-house. It came about after a large number of developers left ownCloud and started over. All components, including the enterprise functionality, are offered as open source and the revenue model is similar to what Red Hat does, which is to provide paid support for major customers. Version 22 adds new group features, lets users convert chat messages into tasks, and an integrated PDF signing feature.

The biggest improvements Nextcloud Hub 22 introduces are:

• User-defined groups with Circles that makes it easier to manage teams where you can share files or assign tasks to circles, or create chat rooms for a circle
• ️Integrated chat and task management where you can simply share a deck card into a chat room or turn a chat message into a task
• Easy approval workflow, where an administrator can define a new approval flow in the settings and users can, on a document, request approval
• Getting your document signatures easy with integrated PDF signing with DocuSign, EIDEasy, and LibreSign
• Integrated knowledge management Nextcloud puts knowledge available to everyone at a moments’ notice, providing easy search, sharing, and portable access
• Groupware improvements bringing a trash bin feature in Calendar, resource booking to facilitate the handling of resources in organizations. Nextcloud Mail features improved threading, email tagging, and support for Sieve filtering

There are many more new features and changes like notifications in the app navigation, integrated compression in the Files interface, and significant performance improvements to universal search. Read our announcement blog for the details.
