ejabberd 0.9
This document describes the major new features of and changes to
ejabberd 0.9, compared to latest public release ejabber 0.7.5.
For more detailed information, please refer to ejabberd User
Guide.
Virtual Hosting
ejabberd now can host several domain on the same instance.
This option is enabled by using:
{hosts, ["erlang-projects.org", "erlang-fr.org"]}.
instead of the previous host directive.
Note that you are now using a list of hosts. The main one should
be the first listed. See migration section further in this release
note for details.
Shared Roster
Shared roster is a new feature that allow the ejabberd
administrator to add jabber user that will be present in the
roster of every users on the server.
Shared roster are enabled by adding:
{mod_shared_roster, []}
at the end of your module list in your ejabberd.cfg file.
PostgreSQL (ODBC) support
This feature is experimental and not yet properly documented. This
feature is released for testing purpose.
You need to have Erlang/OTP R10 to compile with ODBC on various
flavour of *nix. You should use Erlang/OTP R10B-4, as this task
has became easier with this release. It comes already build in
Erlang/OTP Microsoft Windows binary.
PostgreSQL support is enabled by using the following module in
ejabberd.cfg instead of their standard counterpart:
mod_last_odbc.erl
mod_offline_odbc.erl
mod_roster_odbc.erl
The database schema is located in the src/odbc/pq.sql file.
Look at the src/ejabberd.cfg.example file for more information on
how to configure ejabberd with odbc support. You can get support
on how to configure ejabberd with a relational database.
Migration from ejabberd 0.7.5
Migration is pretty straightforward as Mnesia database schema
conversions is handled automatically. Remember however that you
must backup your ejabberd database before migration.
Here are the following steps to proceed:
1. Stop your instance of ejabberd.
2. In ejabberd.cfg, define the host lists. Change the host
directive to the hosts one:
Before:
{host, "erlang-projects.org"}.
After:
{hosts, ["erlang-projects.org", "erlang-fr.org"]}.
Note that when you restart the server the existing users will be
affected to the first virtual host, so the order is important. You
should keep the previous hostname as the first virtual host.
3. Restart ejabberd.
Bugfixes
This release contains several bugfixes and architectural changes.
Please refer to the Changelog file supplied with this release for
details of all improvements in the ejabberd code.

2005-08-01
This document describes the main changes in ejabberd 0.9.8. This
version prepares the way for the release of ejabberd 1.0, which
is due later this year.
The code can be downloaded from the Process-one website:
http://www.process-one.net/en/projects/ejabberd/

on the Process-one website:

Recent changes include....
Enhanced virtual hosting
Virtual hosting applies to many more setting options and
features and is transparent. Virtual hosting accepts different
parameters for different virtual hosts regarding the following
features: authentication method, access control lists and access
rules, users management, statistics, and shared roster. The web
interface gives access to each virtual host's parameters.
Enhanced Publish-Subscribe module
ejabberd's Publish-Subscribe module integrates enhancements
coming from J-EAI, an XMPP-based integration server built on
ejabberd. ejabberd thus supports Publish-Subscribe node
configuration. It is possible to define nodes that should be
persistent, and the number of items to persist. Besides that, it
is also possible to define various notification parameters, such
as the delivery of the payload with the notifications, and the
notification of subscribers when some changes occur on items.
Other examples are: the maximum size of the items payload, the
subscription approvers, the limitation of the notification to
online users only, etc.
Code reorganisation and update
- The mod_register module has been cleaned up.
- ODBC support has been updated and several bugs have been fixed.
Development API
To ease the work of Jabber/XMPP developers, a filter_packet hook
has been added. As a result it is possible to develop plugins to
filter or modify packets flowing through ejabberd.
Translations
- Translations have been updated to support the new Publish-Subscribe features.
- A new Brazilian Portuguese translation has been contributed.
Web interface
- The CSS stylesheet from the web interface is W3C compliant.
Installers
Installers are provided for Microsoft Windows and Linux/x86. The
Linux installer includes Erlang ASN.1 modules for LDAP
authentication support.
Bugfixes
- This release contains several bugfixes and architectural
changes. Among other bugfixes include improvements in LDAP
authentication. Please refer to the ChangeLog file supplied
with this release regarding all improvements in ejabberd.

ejabberd 1.0.0
14 December 2005
This document describes the main changes in ejabberd 1.0.0. Unique in this
version is the compliancy with the XMPP (eXtensible Messaging and Presence
Protocol) standard. ejabberd is the first Open Source Jabber server claiming
to fully comply to the XMPP standard.
ejabberd can be downloaded from the Process-one website:
http://www.process-one.net/en/projects/ejabberd/
Detailed information can be found in the ejabberd Feature Sheet and User
Guide which are available on the Process-one website:
http://www.process-one.net/en/projects/ejabberd/docs.html
Recent changes include:
Server-to-server Encryption for Enhanced Security
- Support for STARTTLS and SASL EXTERNAL to secure server-to-server traffic
has been added.
- Also, STARTTLS and Dialback has been implemented for server-to-server (s2s)
connections. Detailed information about these new features can be found on
http://ejabberd.jabber.ru/s2s-encryption
- commonName and dNSName fields matching were introduced to ease the process
of retrieving certificates.
- Different certificates can be defined for each virtual host.
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 tool to convert an installation from Erlang's database
Mnesia to an ODBC compatible relational database.
Native PostgreSQL Support
- Native PostgreSQL support gives you a better performance when you use
PostgreSQL.
Shared Roster groups
- Shared Roster groups support has been enhanced. New is the ability to add
all registered users to everyone's roster. Detailed information about this

Transports
- A transport workaround can be enabled during compilation. To do this, you
can pass the "--enable-roster-gateway-workaround" option to the configure
script. (./configure --enable-roster-gateway-workaround)
This option allows transports to add items with subscription "to" in the
roster by sending &lt;presence type='subscribed'/&gt; stanza to user. This option
is only needed for JIT ICQ transport.
Warning: by enabling this option, ejabberd will not be fully XMPP compliant
anymore.
