After a quiet start, ownCloud has quickly ramped up to version 5.0 over the course of the last year or so and appears to have gained significantly more features and usability. The last version I tried was 3.0 and although I found it a bit limiting and the installation process (on Windows at least) was convoluted and error-prone, it was certainly promising.
It really looks like the developers are serious about this project so I'm going to give the latest version a go, probably by setting it up on a CentOS-based VM. In the meantime I've gathered some articles about the announcement including a quick how-to:
