Nextcloud Hub 26 Winter – new features and update announcement

The next step towards digital sovereignty: we are updating all Nextcloud instances to Hub 26 Winter (server version 33) and introducing the new features.

The third maintenance release of the major version released in February 2026 is now available. Following our usual testing phase, we are now rolling out the latest version to all production systems. Below, we have summarised the most important new features for you.

New in Nextcloud Hub 26 Winter

🌐 Greater sovereignty: new federated features
↔️ Improved data export and import
💬 Nextcloud Talk: live translations, pinned messages, scheduling
🔎 Office document comparison
🧑‍🎨 Whiteboard: comments, reactions, timer
🔐 Powerful end-to-end encryption in the web interface
💪 Faster with the ADA Engine
… and many more improvements across all apps!

We’re particularly pleased with the performance improvements thanks to the new ADA Engine 🏋.

Nextcloud updates are under way

Currently, only around 8% of all Nextcloud instances on our infrastructure are running version 33, mostly those of new clients.

Over the coming days, we will update all remaining instances to major version 33 (Hub 26 Winter). As usual, the updates will take place overnight between 01:00 and 04:00 CET.

Information about the update process

For compatibility and stability reasons, we generally take a cautious approach and install new major versions on production setups only after several minor versions have been released and extensive testing has been completed.

If you have any questions or requests, the eqipe team will be pleased to help.
