The last major release of the open source ownCloud project debuted in May with the 4.0 release. In the next several weeks, Karlitschek plans on releasing ownCloud 4.5.

Among the improvements in ownCloud 4.5 will be performance gains that enhance synchronization speeds. The new release also solves the problem of large file uploads. What ownCloud 4.5 does is, instead of sending one large file up to the cloud for storage, large files are ‘chunked’ and uploaded piece by piece.
