Release notes
ejabberd 1.0.0
2005-12-13
This document describes the main changes in ejabberd 1.0.0. This version is
compliant with the XMPP (eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol)
standard. ejabberd is the first Open Source server to fully comply to the
XMPP standard.
The code can be downloaded from the Process-one website:
http://www.process-one.net/en/projects/ejabberd/
For more detailed information, please refer to ejabberd User Guide
on the Process-one website:
http://www.process-one.net/en/projects/ejabberd/docs.html
Recent changes include....
Encrypted server-to-server connections
- Support for STARTTLS+SASL EXTERNAL for Server-to-Server connections.
- STARTTLS+Dialback has been implemented for Server-to-Server (s2s)
connections. Those options are handled with two new config file options
(s2s_use_starttls and s2s_certfile). See ejabberd.cfg.example for usage
examples.
- DNSName certificate field and DNS name matching are supported.
- Per virtual host certificate can be defined.
ODBC Support
- ODBC support has been improved to allow production use of ejabberd with
relational databases.
- Support for VCard storage in ODBC has been added.
- ejd2odbc.erl: is a program that convert an installation from Erlang Mnesia
database to an ODBC relational database.
Native PostgreSQL support
- Native postgreSQL support has been added: You can now use a PostgreSQL
database without the need to go through the ODBC driver.
Shared roster
- Shared roster support have been improved: You can specify all users in a
virtual host for addition in a group.
Web interface
- The Web interface internal code has been modified for better integration
and compliance with J-EAI.
- The Web interface is now compliant to XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
- Several bugs have been fixed.
Transports
- A transport workaround can be enabled with the compile time option:
--enable-roster-gateway-workaround
This option allows to add items with subscription "to" in roster by
sending <presence type='subscribed'/> stanza to user. This option is
needed for JIT ICQ transport.
Warning: By using this option, ejabberd is not fully XMPP compliant.
Documentation and translations
- Documentation has been improved to cover more topics.
- Translations have been updated to support the new features.
Bugfixes
- This release contains several bugfixes.
Among other bugfixes include improvements Client-to-Server connection
management module. Please refer to the ChangeLog file supplied with this
release regarding all improvements in ejabberd.
Erlang version supported
- You now needs at least Erlang/OTP R9C to be able to run ejabberd 1.0.0.
Installers
Installers are provided for Microsoft Windows and Linux/x86. The Linux
installer includes Erlang ASN.1 modules for LDAP authentication support.
Installers are available from:
http://www.process-one.net/en/projects/ejabberd/download.html
Migration
- Before any migration, ejabberd system and database must be properly
backed-up.
- System migrating from a previous ODBC based install will need to change
their relational database schema. The following SQL commands must be run
on the database:
;; To update from previous table definition:
CREATE SEQUENCE spool_seq_seq;
ALTER TABLE spool ADD COLUMN seq integer;
ALTER TABLE spool ALTER COLUMN seq SET DEFAULT nextval('spool_seq_seq');
UPDATE spool SET seq = DEFAULT;
ALTER TABLE spool ALTER COLUMN seq SET NOT NULL;
