After years on the 10.x maintenance line, ownCloud Classic is finally cutting 11.0.0 candidates

self-hostedfile-syncmajor-versionrelease-candidatessecurity-release
Current state
Two tracks run side by side. The 10.16.x line continues as maintenance, with 10.16.4 published as a security release and upgrade strongly recommended for all installations. In parallel, ownCloud Server 11.0.0 has reached its third release candidate, with rc2 and rc3 consisting of version-string bumps and no code change.
Where it's heading
The interesting movement is the 11.0.0 candidate train — the first major-version step for Classic after a long run of 10.x point releases. The release notes attached to the candidates say nothing about capability, so what 11.0.0 actually changes for administrators is not yet visible here; the tags only show it converging.
Prediction
A general 11.0.0 release is the obvious next step once the candidate train stops iterating, with the 10.16.x line likely continuing to receive security backports alongside it.

    ownCloud 11.0.0 release candidate 3

    A version-string bump only — the commit explicitly leaves the version code unchanged. It marks another pass through the 11.0.0 candidate train rather than new work.

    ownCloud Server 11.0.0 release candidate 1

    The first candidate for the first major version step after a long 10.x maintenance run. The tag carries no notes, so it signals that a major release is converging without saying what it changes.

    ownCloud 10.16.3 maintenance release

    A Classic Server maintenance build published as a mirrored archive with no notes. It is part of the routine 10.x cadence that continues underneath the 11.0.0 work.

    ownCloud 10.16.2 maintenance release

    Published within a minute of 10.16.3, this is archive housekeeping on the stable line rather than a distinct shipment.
