Right, and with snapshot.d.o, it shouldn’t be too hard to find.

It’s actually been available since yesterday:

	http://blog.karlitschek.de/2013/10/introducing-owncloud-6.html

It’s about three time bigger than owncloud_5, and introduces a fair
amount of changes:

I’m not yet discouraged (but the “end of the month” challenge is
becoming interesting ;), and will start filling RFP for the new embedded
third parties that should be outsourced (in order to offer an
opportunity to help for everyone while I focus on the main beast). I
could also show the work in progress (e.g. into a wip and an
upstream-wip branches) if someone is interesting to help reviewing the
new code and adapting the package.

Regards

David
