Beside some small improvements and bug fixes this will probably the final state for OC8.
To test this you need to set up two ownCloud instances. Let's say:
URL: myPC/firstOwnCloud user: user1
URL: myPC/secondOwnCloud user: user2
Now user1 can share a file with user2 by entering the username and the URL to the second ownCloud to the share-drop-down, in this case "user2@myPC/secondOwnCloud".
The next time user2 login he will get a notification that he received a server-to-server share with the option to accept/decline it. If he accept it the share will be mounted. In both cases a event will be send back to user1 and add a notification to the activity stream that the share was accepted/declined.
If user1 decides to unshare the file again from user2 the share will automatically be removed from the second ownCloud server and user2 will see a notification in his activity stream that user1@myPC/firstOwnCloud has unshared the file/folder from him.
The "dir" key is used within the public sharing template to indicate in which directory the user currently is when sharing a directory with subdirectories. This is needed by the JS scripts.
However, when not accessing a directory then "dir" was set to the relative path of the file (from the user's home directory), meaning that for every public shared file the sharee can see the path.
(For example if you share the file "foo.txt" from "finances/topsecret/" the sharee would still see the path "finances/topsecret/" from the shared HTML template)
This is not the excpected behaviour and can be considered a privacy problem, this patch addresses this by setting "dir" to an empty key.
This PR removes phpass and migrates to the new Hasher interface.
Please notice that due to https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/10671 old hashes are not updated but the hashes are backwards compatible so this shouldn't hurt.
Once the sharing classes have a possibility to update the passwords of single shares those methods should be used within the newHash if block.
