ownCloud 11.0.0 was
published 2026-07-30 — the first major release of the 11.x line, with 11
security fixes across 47 changelog entries. This adds the
== Changes in 11.0.0 block to the server release notes.

Shape

Unlike the 10.16.x patch blocks, this one leads with Breaking Changes. A
major release is where admins most need the upgrade blockers up front rather
than buried in a flat change list:

  • the PHP 8.3 floor (an instance on an older PHP will refuse to start),
  • the group-admin feature now off by default behind allow_subadmins — existing
    assignments are ignored until an admin opts back in,
  • the 2027-01-01 G1 signature sunset, which is the item most likely to bite
    anyone running third-party apps,
  • the removed occ commands (integrity:sign-app/-core, db:convert-type)
    and legacy classes.

Then Security Fixes, Changes, and Notable Bugfixes.

#41634 is both a security fix and a breaking change. It's described in full
under Breaking Changes and cross-referenced from the Security Fixes list rather
than duplicated — the security list stays scannable and the count still adds up
to 11.

Verification

  • All 11 Security entries in core's CHANGELOG.md for 11.0.0 are accounted
    for — diffed the PR-number sets, identical.
  • All 38 PR/issue links checked against the API for existence and for
    pull-vs-issue kind (the changelog mixes both).
  • Internal-only entries (CI, phan, JS test isolation) omitted: 36 of the 47
    entries are admin-relevant.

Note

The v11.0.0 GitHub release body deliberately links core's CHANGELOG.md
rather than server_release_notes.html#changes-in-11-0-0, because that anchor
didn't exist yet. Once this is merged and published, the release body can be
repointed at the docs (editing a release body touches no assets, so it's safe).

11.0.0 was published 2026-07-30 as the first major release of the 11.x line,
carrying 11 security fixes across 47 changelog entries.

Unlike the 10.16.x patch releases, this block leads with a "Breaking Changes"
section, because a major release is where admins most need the upgrade blockers
up front rather than buried in a flat change list: the PHP 8.3 floor, the
group-admin feature now off by default behind allow_subadmins, the 2027-01-01
G1 signature sunset, and the removed occ commands and legacy classes.

The group-admin change is both a security fix and a breaking change. It is
described in full under Breaking Changes and cross-referenced from the Security
Fixes list rather than duplicated, so the security list stays scannable while
the count still adds up to 11.

Internal-only entries (CI, phan, JS test isolation) are omitted: 36 of the 47
changelog entries are admin-relevant.

All 38 PR/issue links were checked against the API for existence and for
pull-vs-issue kind.
