Software Update: OwnCloud Client 1.6.0

Version 1.6.0 of OwnCloud Client has been released. OwnCloud is an open source project that makes it possible to run cloud storage in-house. It’s easy to set up, because all you need is a server running PHP and MySQL. In addition to storing and sharing files, it is also possible to stream music, for example, or to keep a calendar and address book. Clients are available for Windows, Linux, OS X (from 10.7), Android and iOS. The changelog of 1.6.0 can be found below.
