  deprecated user-management name for the admin-settings app. See linked
  "Deprecations" issue for more information.

  #7338
  #9959

• Change - Keyword Query Language (KQL) search syntax: #9653

  We've introduced
  KQL
  as our default query language. Previously we used our own simple language for
  queries which is now replaced by kql.

  sample.tx* Tags:important Tags:report Content:annual*

  Becomes

  name:"sample.tx*" AND tag:important AND tag:report AND content:"annual*"

  By default KQL uses AND as property restriction and the query described above
  can also be formulated as follows

  name:"sample.tx*" tag:important tag:report content:"annual*"

  More advanced syntax like grouping combined with boolean property restriction is
  supported too

  (name:"sample*" name:"*txt") tag:important OR tag:report content:"annual*"

  BREAKING CHANGE for developers: the term which will be passed to the search
  method of search providers is now wrapped inside name:"...". If you don't want
  that behaviour you need to strip it out, e.g. via simple regex: const rawTerm = term.match(new RegExp('name:"\\*(.*?)\\*"')).

  #9636
  #9646
  #9653

• Change - DavProperties without namespace: #9709

  The DavProperties coming from the web-client package don't include their
  namespace anymore. E.g. {http://owncloud.org/ns}fileid has now become
  fileid. This change was part of moving away from the WebDAV implementation of
  the ownCloudSDK in favor of a new implementation in web-client.

  There is a new subset DavProperties.DavNamespace to identify all properties
  living under the default namespace {DAV:}. All other properties live under the
  owncloud namespace {http://owncloud.org/ns}.

  #9709
  #9764

• Enhancement - Make login url configurable: #7317

• Enhancement - Application unification: #9302

  The existing apps have been refactored and their common functionality has been
  extracted. This enables developers to more easily create custom apps, and brings
  unified behavior like auto-saving, shortcut handling and success/error messages
  across all file viewer/editor apps.

  the user experience. We also show success notifications after the operation.

  This doesn't have impact on the trash bin, confirmation dialog will still be
  displayed there.

  #5974
  #9527

• Enhancement - Personal shares can be shown and hidden: #9531

  On the shared-with-me page, there is no distinction between pending, accepted
  and rejected shares anymore. Instead, the user can toggle to display either
  shown or hidden shares.

  Furthermore, accepting and rejecting shares has been renamed to "enable
  sync"/"disable sync" to better reflect what's happening on the server and on
  other devices.

  #9531

  user.

  the user whether they want to continue working in the app. By dismissing it, it
  will not show again until a new session is started, e.g. by opening a new tab.

  #9696
  #9872

• Enhancement - Unify sharing expiration date menu items: #9706

  We've unified the sharing expiration date menu item for links and regular
  user/group shares, the delete expiration date button shows up next to the edit
  expiration date and therefore declutter the UI.

  #9705
  #9706

• Enhancement - New WebDAV implementation in web-client: #9709

  The WebDAV implementation of the ownCloudSDK has been deprecated in favor of a
  new implementation in the web-client package. For developers this means that
  every WebDAV request should be made using the WebDAV factory provided by the
  ClientService. E.g. to retrieve files: const files = await clientService.webdav.listFiles(space).

  #9709
  #9764

• Enhancement - Show error if password is on a banned password list: #9727

  that's on a server side banned password list.

  We've introduced a so called "Embed Mode" that allows Web to be consumed by
  another application in a stripped down version. This mode is supposed to be used

  up.

  We've added the option to search for multiple terms with the same type, at the
  moment only the tag search benefits from it.

  This makes it possible to search for multiple resources with different tags in
  one query. The UI now empowers the user to perform advanced searches like:

  • all resources with the tags tag1 OR tag2 * all resources with the tags
    tag1 OR tag2 AND containing text content

  As a rule of thumb, if a property appears multiple times (like tag1 OR tag2)
  the search combines the query with an OR and different keys are linked with an
  AND.

  account->preferences view.

  #9714
  #10062

• Enhancement - Support mandatory filter while listing users: #10099

  We've added the configuration option WEB_OPTION_USER_LIST_REQUIRES_FILTER. If
  set to true, an active filter is necessary to list users, as well users won't be
  listed initially. This might be necessary for big instances with a lot of users,
  where the server response might take very long or time out while requesting
  users.
