===ownCloud 8.0 and Future Updates/Upgrades on Amahi===
In order to allow multiple instances of different version releases of ownCloud on the same Amahi server naming changes to the main ownCloud application directory and database names have been implemented.
* The location where the actual ownCloud application is stored has changed to "/var/hda/web-apps/owncloudx/html" (where "x" is the major release number). For example for ownCloud release version 7.0.3 the directory is named owncloud7.
* If you use automated backup and recovery software you may have to reload and reconfigure your ownCloud data and backup system configuration before the next backup set is taken. Some backup systems allow you to change the ownCloud directory names (data, ownCloud config,php location) in the existing backup sets (rsnapshot).
* Starting with ownCloud 8.0, any-to-any major version upgrades will be supported. Prior to ownCloud 8.0, it was necessary to upgrade one major version at a time (i.e. ownCloud 5 -> 6 -> 7 -> 8). With ownCloud 8, it will be possible to upgrade from 8.0 to 8.3 or 9.1 directly.
* Minor releases (versions that increase the third digit in the number) are planned by ownCloud for roughly each month. This means that once a month a minor release is "potentially" created for each supported version. Amahi will not necessarily provide all minor releases (i.e. 8.0.1, 8.0.2) unless a new minor release passes Amahi Tester certification. In the past we have experienced very buggy minor releases they disable main core functionality of ownCloud.
* Starting with ownCloud 8.0, on upgrade, most applications are disabled, only certain basic applications are left enabled (Files, Pictures). The ownCloud Communityr has "slimmed" down their installation package to provide basic functionality. Most "core" applications have now been moved to the ownCloud appStore.
