|
* Clustering and Architecture
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- New front-end and back-end cluster architecture for better
|
||
|
|
scalability and robustness. Back-end nodes are able to run a fully
|
||
|
|
fault-tolerant XMPP router and services, but you can now deployed
|
||
|
|
many front-end nodes to share the load without needed to synchronize
|
||
|
|
state with the back-ends.
|
||
|
|
- All components now run in cluster mode (Multi-User chat service and
|
||
|
|
file transfer proxy).
|
||
|
|
- New load balancing algorithm to support Multi-User chat clustering
|
||
|
|
and gateways clustering. More generally it supports any external
|
||
|
|
component load balacing.
|
||
|
|
- ejabberd watchdog to

||
|
|
- Traffic shapers are now supported on components.

||
|
|
|
||

|
||
|
|
|
||
|

- Complete rewrite of the PubSub module. The new PubSub module is
|
||
|
|
plugin-based, allowing developer to create new node type. Any
|
||
|
|
application can be plugged to ejabberd and provide rich presence as
|
||
|
|
a pubsub plugin.
|
||
|
|
- Personal Eventing via Pubsub support (XEP-0163). This module is
|
||
|
|
implemented as a PubSub service. It supports user mood (XEP-107),
|
||
|
|
User Tune (XEP-118), user location (XEP-0080) or user avatar
|
||
|
|
(XEP-0084) for example.

|
||
|

|
|
* Web client support
|
||
|

|
|
- XEP-
|
||
|
|
- HTTP module can now server static document. It is needed for
|
||
|
|
high-performance Web2.0 chat / IM application. System administrators
|
||
|
|
can now avoid using a proxy (like Apache) that handles much less
|
||
|
|
simultaneous than ejabberd HTTP module.
|
||
|
|

|
||

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Better command-line tool, with more options available.
|
||
|
