Hi Jan, I´m sorry that you are not satisfied with the quality of ownCloud 4.0.0 In fact I´m neither. We have release 4.0.1 with a lot of bugfixes already on monday and we are working on 4.0.2 which is scheduled for next weekend or monday.
We do a bug hunt session this saturday and you are welcome to participate if you want to help us with reporting bugs and testing.
