Software update: ownCloud Client 2.0.0

Version 2.0 of the ownCloud Client has become available. With this open source project it is possible to run cloud storage in-house. It is easy to set up as 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. New in version 2.0 includes the ability to sync to different accounts, large folders will no longer be synced automatically if they exceed a configurable threshold, and long path names are now supported in Windows. The complete changelog can be found below.
